Total Archery Challenge - TOUGH & TECHNICAL

[@dysonsphere]

I've missed you guys! Great TAC footage! Right at 10:03 you see Dillan's arrow start counterclockwise, then stop, then reverse at the top of the ark. Insane camera work! Might want to swap that helical!

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@RKeaton]

yeah that was wild!!

[@justinrodabaugh3746]

I noticed that as well, some people say it doesn’t affect accuracy. I just feel if that’s the natural rotation of your arrow why fight it?

[@thomastulk7892]

I didnt even see that, I went back and look that looks absolutely wicked in a cool way!

[@dirtjunkie2749]

I came here to same the same thing lol. It's crazy it comes out spinning so fast to the left then completely stops spinning for 1/3rd of the distance and starts spinning right. Seems like 2/3rds of the distance before the right offset vanes take control, mind blown.

[@revthred]

Thanks for showing the shooters and the flight to impacts!! Way more enjoyable than videos that just show the shooter.

[@RKeaton]

excellent camera work and quality, love watching the arrow flight. Nice shooting!

[@dirtjunkie2749]

That slow mo arrow flight at 10:00 was insane, arrow spins left, no spin then right. Awesome footage. Also looks like Micah has been hitting the weights, looking jacked dude!

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

Thank you! It’s hard to know for sure if the camera is playing tricks on us or not. We have found that sometimes the arrow appears to be spinning fast enough that at the rate at which we film the arrow appears to be spinning one way visually, when it is actually going the other way. Similar to looking at a propeller on an airplane that appears to be spinning backwards on a camera once it is spinning at a certain speed. We don’t know this as fact as we are still testing it, but it is definitely plausible! Good eye!

[@justinjackson6696]

You guys n gals have THE BEST tac videos and arrow flight footage.

[@browning7750]

Man that looks like some serious fun! Great shooting guys & girl!!! 😀

[@BY-dq3mt]

You all make my favorite TAC videos. The combination of side views and behind views is great. Thanks for sharing. Would be interested to hear Rachel’s thoughts on that sight. I’ve considered one but can’t pull the trigger on it.

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

Thank you so much! We encourage you to check them out for yourself to form your own opinion as what we like/dislike may be completely different than your own opinion. I believe they are selling in Scheels stores and also typically have a both set up at most big archery related events like TAC.

[@sebastienklein8849]

Really good video. Thanks for sharing. Look closely at the shot at 9'59. The arrow is changing the way it's clocking during the flight. I think the arrow isn't fletched the right direction compared to the way the bow send the arrow (I hope you understand what I mean, I'm french 😅)

[@browning7750]

Looky there! Josh with what is turning into a "throwback" wrist strap!

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

Had to challenge myself with it! Old bad habits are hard to overcome so had to put myself in those hard shot situations to put it to the test.

[@williamthomson6641]

Great videography. Really enjoyed the slow motion shots.

[@DeadHeadArchery]

I need to do a TAC, they look like a blast. great shooting BTW.

[@michellebeeney1116]

Great camera work and editing! Looks like a good time.

[@RickSeymour54]

Everything was going great in foam country for Rachel until she got the dreaded curse from Josh “You haven’t missed yet”. 🎉🏆

[@justmeva]

Way to go Josh!!! 🤔😒😉

[@RachelPflasterer]

Seriously! 😂

[@scottharmon76]

Awesome shooting!

[@ryanwild5180]

What releases are y’all using?

[@levischenk2668]

Don't know how I'd do with my longbow on this course, but it looks like an absolute blast!

[@mlwalters73]

Awesome video!

[@Eightball2516]

Where did you get the over the shoulder lanyard for your range finders

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

We just use paracord threaded through the hole on the rangefinder. Tricky to get it pushed through, but it works great!

[@DavidBowCrazyBabyak86]

Great content guys love the video

[@aaronmeuser8931]

Micah been hitting them plates 💪

[@lisad2276]

Lol on the sad music! 🤣 curious what sight and bow Rachel was shooting! ( and shooting it so we’ll too!! 👌🏻)

[@lisad2276]

Oh Arxos and Rx7???

[@lisad2276]

4get it! Found the bow build video. Nice!!!! She made that setup proud !!!

[@erxkeel]

Young lady is a shooter! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@lifeofthemcdermotts6556]

Love seeing a group shoot TAC with a hinge

[@timbow50]

It was a good day! 👍👍

[@dougfriendt8906]

Hey Josh, Great job as usual. Are you using an index finger release aid? I thought you always used a thumb button release? If you switched to an index finger release aid, why? Please let me know.

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

Hey Doug, Thank you! I was using an index finger release aid. I shoot all styles of releases but mainly stick with the resistance and hinge release. I wanted to challenge myself by shooting something I’m less comfortable with in a more stressful shooting situation like the total archery challenge to see how I was able to control my execution. I do prefer to shoot the handheld style releases, just wanted to challenge myself.

[@dougfriendt8906]

@@BowOnlyOutdoors Thanks for the reply. U Da Man! 😀

[@jackbuendgen389]

Guy, great job! I love the editing! Hey Josh, how are you liking your HHA sight? Im very interested in one

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

Thank you! This is my first HHA sight and I absolutely love it! HHA Tetra Max RYZ. So simple, yet solid.

[@jackbuendgen389]

@@BowOnlyOutdoors how do you'll think it will work in a hunting situation? I love the idea of 2 pins but I am hesitant because I like the reliability of multiple pins.

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

@@jackbuendgen389 I am the same way. I strongly prefer a 5 pin sight for hunting but I’m planning to use it for whitetail this year as i don’t have many scenarios where I would shoot past 40 yards. I have the double pin which I can set on at 20 and 39 at the same location. I plan to add a white dot on the post in between to reference 30 so that it acts as a 3 pin 20-40 yards to have all my bases covered for whitetail hunting from a treestand. For out west, I will continue to shoot a 5 pin slider.

[@isaiah3898]

Why wasn’t Rachel shooting with her back bar when you set that bow up for her it had one on it

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

She shot it with the back bar for a long time but took it off one day to try and found that she shot better with less overall bow weight.

[@SWMissouriOutdoors]

What course was this, as in difficulty, easy, medium, hard, or long range? Im practicing for my first TAC.

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

The Sitka course often has the more technical and challenging shots such as shooting through tight gaps in trees, over top of brush, underneath logs, as well as long range and steep angled shots. I would consider Sitka to be one of if not the hardest course options

[@SWMissouriOutdoors]

@@BowOnlyOutdoors Thanks for the reply, I think I'm going to try the Jack Links course. Long time archer just getting back into it after years of not shooting. Great content BTW, new Sub.

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

They are all fun for sure! Have fun!

[@jasonparks389]

What release was the lady shooting?

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

Stan Element Resistance release!

[@johnstandup8162]

I’m subscribed brother 👍❤️

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

Welcome!

[@MrBatchy007]

Hey!! Is it just me or the shot at 9.52min come out spinning anticlockwise... stall.... then turn clockwise????

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

It sure appears to!

[@martysup3450]

What sight is Rachel using?

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

Dialed Arxos

[@ronsgarage2057]

God I wanna go back to tac soooo bad!!!!

[@andrewyoder88]

Does Christopher Perkins have a doppelganger...or 2?

[@agi6521]

"Woodland beaver"!!! 😅

[@Operatorjk]

Anyone else notice at the 10 min mark his arrow is rotating left then starts rotating to the right? Got to make sure you fletch your arrows the right way but good shooting

[@korelick8411]

Noticed that as well. It looked so far out when it changed back to the right.? And yes, that guy was rocking the day. Longest ATA in the right hands.

[@ryanolson2430]

❤

[@tjb50cal]

tough course, many of those target set ups would not be ethical for hunting

[@BowOnlyOutdoors]

So true! Very fun to shoot with good friends though. Certainly helps you realize your limitations. Like you said, many of these shots would not be ideal in an actual hunting scenario.
