My son & I shot the Oklahoma TAC event @ Broken Bow this year. We had a blast! We shot the Luepold course Saturday morning in a thunderstorm but still had a lot of fun. I carried 13 arrowa & came back with 12. The range was supposed to be 20 - 60 yards, so I took my hunting bow with a 5 pin sight. We had 2 targets over 70 & our closest shot was in the 30 yard range. Nice video!

Thank you. Only losing one arrow on any of those courses ain’t a bad day. We also got caught in that storm Saturday but were able to shoot the Sitka course on Sunday with some good weather. Videos from that will be coming out in the next few days👍

Hey my man, good video. I can lend some insight into the big pack question. I am one of those guys that carries a big pack, the reason being is I am from the East Coast, and hunt elk out west. I use TAC to do gear testing, boots clothing pack etc. I checkel for hotspots and things that might be an issue thousands of miles from home. It also helps build endurance and test my level of fitness. Yes I could do it in flip-flops but I use it as an opportunity. Keep up the good work

Appreciate it man👍 we’ve heard that before about using TAC to test gear and it makes sense. The ones that give us a good laugh is when guys will have their giant load bearing pack and it’s obviously empty other than some arrows a jacket and a few snacks. At the end of the day do whatever floats your boat we just like to joke around and not take things too serious I’m sure we all have things we do that others think are crazy.

im no expert but i did TAC last year with a backpack. im doing it this year with my Kifaru hip quiver and Marsupial Bino harness. i dont see the need for a backpack. i can survive a few hours without food and ill have my water in my hip quiver. less is more when your hiking and not far from the car lol.

[@continuumoutdoors]

True. If we owned hip quivers we’d probably do that lol

[@hawaiianhunter]

You wear the pack your hunting with, hence the name total archery CHALLENGE lol. Your supposed to simulate your hunt or a hard hunt if your in it for the right reason. Just to show any weakness in your game so you know what to work on

[@continuumoutdoors]

I guess if that’s what you wanna do go for it. We just use it as a weekend to get out and shoot with some buddy’s and hang out.
