Wanna Hang Come Spend a Day with Me!

So I was over here shooting with the boys and I hear you yelling at me something about hey Dan you want to do a shoot off. Would that be too loud? It would be loud. Loving Foss. Did you get it? Yeah it's not bad a little low. Nobody comes through this door but strangers. Hi stranger. Morning. Come on in. There's a dog. How you guys doing? Good you're gonna have a camera on you. I figured. Good to see you. Welcome to Spoke Hampton. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Come on in. I'm excited for the Dan Staten workout. Yeah yeah I live in Salt Lake. Nice what part? Ogden. It's just under two acres. Oh is that right? And yeah I don't know if you can tell but I have neighbors. 30, 45, 60, 75 calories on the salt bike today. A lot of lats and my lats are tight. I shoot a dang bow every day. It's a marathon. Rate of perceived exertion. Put the weight in the other hand and we're not squatting we're hinging. Down stand it up strong good one more one more this is it. Time 17.22. Squat cleans felt good. Had it been just a little bit heavier for me I think I would have been pausing more. But what a cool compound movement that elicits power. Triple extension coordination. You're having to lift large heavy loads while out of breath. This stuff will transfer to L-Cutting which is all we care about. Agility. Change of direction. Center of gravity. L-Cutting is change of direction. It's about balance. Agility. A low center of gravity. Strong back. A good midline. Endurance. And nice in your veins. Happy to have happy to be here. Post-workout I'm doing the good stuff. Fish oil. Probiotic. Multi. I just take it all at once because I ain't got time to remember to spread out the multis. Check. BCAA is post-workout only. I'm doing creatine HMB. Brute strength post-workout. It's a protein and a carb. One-to-one ratio. A lot of people just do protein after workout but you do need carbs. You want to spare the protein so you need a carb. So this is like a one-to-one ratio. When I was in college they were like four-to-one ratio. Yeah and I think that's a little outdated or a little overkill. They also said your diet should be comprised of 60% carbohydrates for most people. I also disagree with that. So I got a pre-workout that I take. Cocaine. Yeah. The stuff if you don't start working out right after you take it you start itching. It's illegal in 48 states. Well guys we're gonna head to the Archer Range. Hey what's your name? It's Tim Connor. TC in the hizzy. Hey what's your name? Ezekiel! F*** you Ezekiel. So I was over here shooting with the boys and I hear you yelling at me something about hey Dan you want to do a shoot off. Tell me the deets. Yeah it's time. It's time. Let's get the cameras together and just rip some arrows and make a little shoot off. A little 1v1. What are you thinking? Like just come out here and shoot 10 targets? Yeah like 10 targets each. Half on my channel half on your channel. Okay. We'll do it up and get some great arrow flight and yeah test some rigs and have a great day. I mean we should maybe do it sooner than later. The weather is pretty dang nice today. So guys coming up soon we're gonna do Tim and I get back together and do a little friendly shooting. Let's do like target bows. Yep. And hunting bows. Yeah let us know what kind of style or format they think would be cool but we'll mix it up. We'll do something super fun. Bows and hoes. I've been trying to say that in any video I can. I don't know what that actually means but it sounds cool. Target bows have been fun man. What's been your first impression? Cheating. Yeah I like it. I don't know if it's because it's 58 pound draw weight or what but. It's a pleasure to shoot. You can like not get tired but I haven't shot indoor. Indoor scares me. Yeah. And I know that that's kind of something I want to get into next year so I got it for mainly indoor. If I'm shooting 3D I feel like I'm trying to get ready for hunting so I'm like I want to use this guy but it is fun to shoot. And I think if you had like shoulder issues you know it might make sense to have a target bow and a hunting bow. Like use your target nine months out of the year. Yeah. Yeah and my argument is like if you're going to be shooting more often because of it like why not right? Yeah. It's like you're not driving the same car every day you know you can pull something wheel something different out of the garage and get a little different feel or whatever. Let's get your first impressions on this. Can I get it on the loop real quick? Yeah. Yeah I could just shoot it as a hot. So it's going to go click bang. Click and then a little bit then bang. So that's a vibration not a click right? Yeah. Yeah which is kind of like haptic or whatever. Which is all about a hunting hinge really. Yeah. Yeah no it's cool. Yeah you can feel a little you can feel a little buzz in your hand. Stick your arm out way further like so you can see it. Now yeah you're going to hit the bell just watch it as you slowly pull. There's the click. Yeah. Got it? All right come shoot it. I like it. Again I feel like it'll keep me honest you know. That would keep you honest. With the pull through. Yep your your brakes both looked really clean. Because you get I've used this and I shoot well with this. But you can lose your your discipline with this thing. When the weather is this good and you've been stuck inside all winter. We're going to take advantage of the day bring you guys along. Next. I got the shakes for some reason my muscles aren't as stable as they usually are. That's my excuse man. That's my you'll be taking my excuses. Next I'm going to say that this is a new sight tape or something. I got my family excuses. There you go. Jump. 11 years for Elk Shape. I did train to hunt before that and then I also worked for I was a videographer a writer. I've been in the hunting industry for about since 06. I didn't get serious about it until 2019. And I sold my gym and I told my wife I have enough money to try to do Elk Shape for two years. Yeah. If we run out of money I'm going to go back to being a firefighter. It's a little left but I like your height. Yeah. Send it again. That was premature. Another bullshit shot. Ah let's make good ones. Okay I've been corrected most of these targets are Reinhardt. So it's IBO not ASA which is two different styles of shooting. So that is a 10. If you're there it's an 11. So I've been corrected on the internet and I know what they're talking about. Reinhardt's are IBO and then Delty McKenzie are usually ASA which has a 12 instead of 11. This is shot out so bad. Eight. You killed Sasquatch, decapitated him. It doesn't stand up straight, huh? Like I said we're ghetto out here. Spoken by Archery and we know it. Once in a lifetime sheep tag. Day 10 of a seven day hunt. Nice. It's a smidge left. Go right on my arrow and you're going to be in the money. Pretty uneven ground. So it's like uneven ground. Your pin's going to move a little. Trust the float. Walk yourself through it. Yeah dude. Good shot. All right I'll take it. Hey you know what? I like the angle. I like the angle too. I like the angle of the dangle. Good shot man. You're in there. It's a tough shot. We've been doing a lot of these baselines here guys and I'm getting bored of it. I want to start. I just want to get ready for tack which gets me ready for elk hunting. We're going to try to stretch it out a little and just shoot some ridiculousness. Dot. Better? Third time's the charm. I'm just going to send it. I got 100 yards on my tape and so I've calculated 130 yards in my head. And we're going to make it happen. Should you check clearance? Okay I'm your shade man. I'm your shade man. It's a good shot. It felt money. I had a shade boy and that made all the difference in the world. Shade man? I thought I hit foam. What's going on here? You did. Is that me? Yeah you were aiming over there right? Yeah. Okay. Wasn't like this. I must have knocked it with the shot. It was like that. Tendering? We can only do this when nobody's here. And we got like nobody is here. I don't know why today. So Landon's good luck man. Let's go a little lower. Same spot as the last arrow. This is fun. I kind of like when no one's here. If you guys could just let me know when you're not going to be here. We'll come here and take some crazy shots. So we heard his first shot and I'm like oh I think your arrow's broken. He's like let me shoot it again. I was like damn that's a good group. And then we'll see if they're broken. No. Oh she gone. That one's definitely got to be on. Same. She gone. What is this? That's nice. 24 bucks. Excellent shot. Felt good. Excellent shot. Little left. It's a little left huh? Felt good. Let's shoot the caribou from right where. Foam. What'd you shoot it for? 71 but I felt like I used the wrong pin. This is like having your own private 3D course. And we're just totally taking shots we never take. This is this is kind of cool honestly and special. Otherwise we would just do in the cookie cutter course. And Landon doesn't want that. He ain't about cookie cutter. It looks to me if you're shooting this far left on all your uphill shots. I bet you're going to be shooting right on your downhill shots. We should take advantage of these hills. I'll get I'll switch to cameraman because I want Jeff to do this too. I'll put we'll put a piece of tape and have you guys shoot three or four arrows downhill three or four uphill and see if we can move you or leave you at the same. I like it. So hot. Did you say hot? I don't swear. Is that right? No. Could you hunt with that technically? Would that be too loud? It would be loud. Loving Foss. Did you get it? Yeah it's not bad a little low. 11 and you're outside of it. That's cool. I'll just take it. Yeah man. What video are you making today that people will probably have seen and be like oh I remember watching that video. I'm doing shortbow versus longbow. Okay guys we just spent about five hours at the archery range. We shot and then the boys wanted to work on their third axis a little bit. It was just an awesome day of shooting. Got to hang out with even Tim a little bit. It was just beautiful weather. We've already worked out. We've shot bows. We're going to do a quick podcast. Eat some elk burgers. Call it a day. Thanks for coming along. We'll see you on the pod. Getting into your background. You're a couple years wiser than me and I was like man what are you doing for work these days and you're like I'm unemployed. I was like oh okay it's probably his wife works. I'm like so what's your wife do? She's like she's a stay-at-home mom and I was like okay explain to me what's going on in your life. So I had a 20-year construction career. A pretty good career. Got on with a good company and had a good professional life and then you know the circles that I run in and the people that I listen to. You know there's always that talk about taking advantage of your kids when they're young. Being a part of their lives when they're growing up. It's the most important thing that we can do as fathers. Man and I can't tell you like I believe that to my core. So I had an opportunity to take some time off. Hang out with my kids. Read books to them in the morning. Be there for all their games. That kind of thing and so that's what I've really tried to soak up this last year. I have I guess aspirations you know. I want to I've been a I've been an employed worker I guess you could say for 20 years on someone's payroll and I've always thought to myself that I could do something by myself. You know I kind of I kind of snatched the opportunity in both cases there. Take some time off. Get my get my professional life rearranged and you know I'd like to get into a couple of ventures by myself and see what I can do.
