Video Transcription

Thomas how's it going it's going good we're getting too we're heading to the archery right yeah Delaware State Park oh when we went to a couple years back yeah I don't remember it's kind of hard to find the archery range isn't it yeah it's kind of path it's on your right side and you have to hike down like a 40 mile to find the bridge okay that's not too bad right bring your bow or you get a new phone we're bringing my bow and the practice bow you left pass how's the weather over there your dealership because my car needs service but to me it's a tease oh wow we're in the 19th a little word this can be a little bit to work for me but I never want to hear you say something like it's gonna be too warm see you later don't have to Serbia okay it took us a long time to find the range and we took a brief pause to marvel at a frozen lake but we eventually made it but we are out here in the butt crack of winter do some archery this bow by the way is a homemade self bow it's made out of this dead piece of elm and it's actually a small ristic sapling oh there he is okay I'm gonna give this a test hey you're gonna watch me learn as we go even without the snow and blistering cold it can be hard to find stray arrows arrows get lost so easily in the grass with the snow it's probably even harder you'll see it land and you'll see it like where it hits and then it'll just disappear a lot of times it just slides underneath here right here and I'm feeling for it but I can't we actually never found that error while a lot of people like competition with archery we believe very much in the joy of cooperation and what we're going to do is we're going to each take a shot until we actually hit the target and when we get to 10 we both win or whatever let's give it a go the wood so I'll take another shot my answer ok ok you got it I don't think you pulled back you it slipped out of my hand oh and I hit myself in the nose my fingers are having a really tough time holding off okay that's two shots all right I see it okay of course I said that before and I've lost all right that's that's three baby oh dude this is awesome let me take another shot this one feels good because you can pull it back so far oh we might a block luckily you found this one took a little while though a lot of times when I shoot real bows after seeing my evo I am way too high he's not having a Russian army should be no Lars Anderson people are gonna criticize my archery stands out here we go make sure let me try the whole name oh this time nice shot and we got six now I figure out once we get as SMS I guess so go on for eight we might be miscounting so I apologize if we are Thanks I don't know why I'm gonna attempt this wit I've got this homemade arrow I made a while back and it works but the feathers are all torn up whoo it's missing one of the fletchings action there's only two what I have heard of a native american tribe that made arrows with to feather fletchings only so we'll see if this works at all not going to tell you right now all that's gonna happen is gonna fall out of my bow but uh hey sleep the arrow putty might as well just tried it lucky arrow oh yeah this is a paleo style Neolithic style ice age again whatever you call it BS yeah it's gonna hurt my fingers really badly so I was just like I just gotta shoot come on baby come on baby ooh yes yes nice that's some successful arrow I think we're going to get out of here before we freeze it so we got a nice roast beefs we get in the oven so Oh si si oh here we go home and get to eat that cooler I mean warm our lifts up so they can move once again ok no it's a testament to have fun archery is because as Holden painful as it was part of me just wants to really go back and shoot more but uh this does feel really nice though
