Ahh man gots me feeling all nostalgic as the year winds to an end.. thanks for hanging out ✊ now go shoot your bow
Solid video, Tim. Hey dude, try out some 3/4" rubber electrical splicing tape for wrapping your grip. It's not the normal black electrical tape you are probably thinking of. It's rubber, very stretchy, tacky, very durable, and insulates well. About 8$ for a 15' roll at Menards or any store like that. I'm betting you will like it alot. I'm an Electrician so I always have some on hand, but it took me awhile to realize I should use it for grip tape lol.
You’re the man tim. Your growth has been fun to follow. Keep up the good work
@@justinjhauser5110we use that on our vibration measurement transmitters at work to protect the connections. I never thought of this but it’s smart
Keep putting out content brother. Doing awesome and enjoy your honesty and humility. Rare in today's world. God's Speed!
Tim, great content! You are very well spoken and a great on camera personality. I think to hit 100k, I wanna see you script out your videos a bit more, I really think it would make your videos even better and make your informative aspects really shine. Keep it up!
Hell yeah Tim. Keep it coming! Thanks for the Intel on the gear.
Really appreciate your videos and the effort you put into them. Looking forward to what you have in store for 2024!
Great videos and content. Good to see Justin sharing his knowledge in your videos. One of the best bow technicians around.
I shoot with the stan solex. I love it. I bought one after i watched your video reviewing it. I have mine short like you do. I hook my second knuckle around the trigger. It has made my shooting so much more consistant. I highly recommend the stan solex for anyone that shoots a index release. I havent made the jump to a hinge or thumb release yet. Im just nervous about losing arrows!! And losing my consistency.
A hinge is tempting, but the way you have to go about breaking the release for the shot makes me think I'd punch myself in the face a few times trying to draw my bow back. Great video as always guys. Thank you for bringing us along
Start with a shot trainer.. easy stuff
Thanks for your channel and content Tim.
You’ve helped with my journey back into archery after years away and a horrible accident with multiple surgeries you’ve inspired me to be a better archer
that makes me very happy to hear!
Very good info here as always! I use the same mix of releases, just got the Stan clicker this year. Others are Stan Xtinction2 and Trufire SEAR
Tim, you made a great comment about “shooting in the lab” to get yourself grounded. I think many people fail to spend time working the foundations of archery. If you don’t get the foundations of stance, balance, grip, anchor and sight picture in a stress free environment, what chance to you really have in the field.
I equate the setting of the foundation in archery to the foundation of a good golf swing. If you don’t spend time at the range hitting balls and ingraining the fundamentals of the swing…what chance do you really have of scoring well.
Put in the time (at either range) intentionally working on the basics…then stepping into the heat of competition will come much easier.
Keep up the good work.
it has helped me tremendously
Tim I love your channel. I never comment but I wanted to say thank you, and well done. Next time you get a hunt in Nevada, let a guy know, I'd love to show you around. Great job this year, keep up the good work.
Bought the Solex based off this great video. Im sure ill absolutely love it
Thanks for the great content
As always good video and good content!
LEAP!
Hey Brother. Great video as always. Congrats on your whitetail hunting success. And your other hunts as well. I've always shot with a wrist strap release. and I'm currently using a Tru-fire Smoke Max. But it doesn't adjust down far enough for me to actually get my finger all the way around the trigger. I'm gonna have to find one with a strap adjustment like yours with dual calipers. That way I can really fine tune the length from the wrist to the jaws. I'm starting to lean towards going with the TKO's myself. Those, or the Easton Axis 5mm. That's a great tip of getting the .006 for practice, then the .001 for actually hunting with. Most archers wouldn't really be able to tell the difference, including myself. But, it is a great way to save a few dollars if you can tell or just want to shoot the best available arrows. Thanks for showing us what you've had success with. I can be an influence for others to try different things.
If you’re using a loop stick the the hook style release.. dual calipers were designed to be snapped on a string (old tech).. thanks for watching my dude
@TimConnor13 My Tru-Fire is a dual caliper design. And the only design I've ever shot. I actually prefer it that way because once I'm clipped on, it doesn't have a chance of coming off. I just found the Scott Echo that looks like a very good candidate for what I'm looking for. Do you know anything about it?
Lizard skin is awesome. Wrapped my son's baseball bat with that and realized how grippy it was. I had to use it on my V3X. Also if anyone's wondering what Shot Trainer Tim is using. It's a MD50 gear archery shot trainer. I believe podium archer has it on the website. It's really nice to have when away from the range. You can set it up to your draw length and it has tension due to the surgical rubber that they use.
Lizard skin works great.. it came on my new breed bow when i bought it used.. and it's lasted over 3 years for me
The info on the shot trainer was good to know… thanks
@@leroyjones769it’s really awesome to have especially when you wanna practice with your release or try out any new releases, especially a hinge type.
You seem like a very likable guy, for that reason I subscribed
Great videos keep up the good work. What did you think about the crossover stabilizer? I noticed you used to use one.
Great video! Is that a training string/D-loop? If so can you provide a link? Apologize if you did and I missed it.
Great video man..
Appreciate it!
@TimConnor13 well, we appreciate all the effort you go through to produce quality content for us!!
How'd you end up on a 250 spine for your setup in that Victory arrow?
Tim, I've been a long long time lurker/follower. Been watching you for awhile now and have come to respect your opinion. In the last 18mo I've had a Terrain, EnVision, EVO EVL, Omnia, and now I am shooting a Revex 4. The EnVision was MEH at best, the Inline was good, just didnt wow me. The EVL was nice but I DESPISED the grip, The Omnia was really nice, but at 44 and with slowly worsening R shoulder issues (Service injury) and a L torn bicep tendon repair....the bow was hurting me. I could have stuck with the EVL, but....outside of the hold it didnt wow me. I stuck with the Omnia for awhile, and really liked it, but it was really starting to irritate my forearm where the repair was done. For sh!ts & giggles I went and shot a Revex 4/RVX4, VTM33, SS34, and Lift. Went home with the Revex. Have you had any time on one? If so, what did you think about it?
I haven't had much time on one, I am glad you dig it though!
Man I love ya Timmy and I’ve been following along since you joined elk shape, but this is “gear of the year” which apparently means 1.5 minutes of coffee making, 12 minutes of talk about learning a hinge, then a couple product shoutouts at the end. This one almost felt like false advertising.
Here is a challenge I am putting out to see if anyone would do it. I would love to see a score comp of the flagship bow of the year against the budget bow of the year for 2023. A paper target at 50 yards and a score on each bow. Factors like hand shock does not factor in when you are shooting a animal you don't even notice it. But that way we could put a honest value per point for each bow. But it would take someone honest. It would make a great video.
I shoot my hinge funky 😂 put my thumb behind the peg and push while rotating
Idk if I learned wrong, but I'm pushing and pulling to hold on target better, it's like creating tension throughout your body making that muscular structure tight then rotate the hand to the click and relaxing the hand
MFJJ is constantly harping on Tim to push and pull so I don't think you learned wrong.
So I see you have that nice new Cerakote VTM34 . Q- What do you think of the new ALPHA X 33? Im buying one and I've got last year's RX7ULTRA. And they claim it's quieter and more dead then Ultra! Input??
Our archery season in Ohio goes til Feb 5th. I think we are only 2 months 2 weeks into a 16 week season
2 months one week. 😊
I don't know many who shoot a hinge that I can ask but... do you shoot it off ur pinky? I find that's the best for me... I push/pull+close my pinky... try to close ur pinky finger without moving ur ring finger.. dont work huh?
Or are you releasing pressure off ur index?
(Hard to tell in the video, looks like you subconsciously use ur pinky)
I've just been playing around alot and want some more opinions
I got a UV 3finger hinge.
Love the content. But i just wanted to ask why you guys love the stan clicker so much, but dont talk about other brands that have similar characteristics with a clicker? I have been using the Scott Verge and it is basically offering the same characteristics except for that its an index style release. Was just wanting to know your thoughts on the scott verge if you have used it or not?
You could swap that solex wrist wrap with the Nock on wrist wrap.
Have you listened to any of Hoyt’s bow hunting podcasts
Scheels Vengeance SD arrows are Victory RIP TKO arrows rebranded and cheaper
I love to stan solex but hated the strap. Get the after market tru fire strap
Do you know if the stan can be mounted to the truglo boa strap?
If im spending that kind of money on my arrows im throwing a few extra bucks in to get elites.
Just curious, what kind of coffee maker is that? Lol in need of a knew one and curious, thanks
I think you shoot the index better than anything else
I would argue the complete opposite
Arrows! Shot them all, but RIP TKO’s are on its own league in my humble opinion. Thanks for the video and confirming the RIP’s. 😂
Practice all off season for a relaxed controlled release…Buck walks by and I punch that fucking trigger like Mike Tyson in rd 1 of the SPINKS fight 😅
lol.. if you know you know
Tim can we pause and talk about how nice your coffee machine is brother? I'm rocking a pheasant 4 cup coffee machine 😅 your Joe comes out looking like a nice cup of pimp juice.
Lol I just got it.. I’m quite fond of it thus far
@TimConnor13 looks good brother. I gotta find out what this is and convince my wife we need it. God bless you brother.
I think perfecting one release and one bow is the way t go It can take you up to a year before you become familiair with a bow. So am not understanding this switching from one to another.
What kind of coffee machine was that?
Nespresso vertuo
I can’t switch back and forth from index to handheld. Anchor is different and peep height changes therefore pins won’t be sighted in. Have to either change everything or have 2 bows😊
it's not all bad having two bows lol.. i hear you though! My anchor changes slightly but it is very solid, bone on bone
Shot trainer?
Every Scott release I have owned eats D loops
Same for Trufire releases.Their customer service is non existent.
I think you do not need a stabilizer on a bow for hunting
Don’t even need clothing or a bow. Can use a spear and loin cloth
@@pennyontrackdon’t even need the loin cloth depending on the season, bare ass and a spear but I could see the benefits of a stabilizer on a spear especially when hunting bare ass.
@@chetmanley2883lol ya’ll are the best
Your face is touching the feathers on your arrows when at draw. For someone who is picky and has a bow tuned to perfection, I’m surprised you allow this
After switching over to my stainless UV button I won't be switching to anything else after shooting hundreds of arrows with it.
glad you like it my friend
