“Where's the secret bathroom? Figuring all this out ahead of time because I recognized, look, I don't have a lot of time under my belt. I've trained my ass off to the extent that my body would handle it. Like I pushed my body. And I do need to give a huge thank you to Heather, who is a top tier”

“Figuring out where the bathrooms are. This is not a small thing, right? Because when you're shooting at this particular tournament, on each bale, you have four targets, A, B, C, D. So you're shooting with three other people. You all score one another. I mean, I'm simplifying things a little bit. But basically, you're switching back and forth. Two people shoot and then the next two people shoot and then the next people shoot and you alternate back and forth. So you may not have a whole lot of time to get to the bathroom. How crowded is the bathroom? Where is the least crowded bathroom”

“12 days early, I think. Something like that. Yeah. And so, again, this is just, if it's helpful for folks, I do this whenever I'm competing in anything new, right? So figure out where you are, figure out your food options, figure out your bed, for instance, I slept really poorly on the hotel mattress, so ordered a pillow topper, got that all figured out. Where are we going to practice along?”

“And that's why with Lancaster, most high level competitors, how early, like how far for their first shooting do they arrive at Lancaster?”

“Yeah, yeah, exactly. So figuring all that out was key. And I would just travel like I would have the fuel, the glutamine. Also reducing the decision fatigue and possibility for logistics challenges. For sure.”

“When I was on this cocktail and when I was not, I'd start getting shaky. And then if I had and I timed this, if I had everything on a schedule and I knew how long it took me to digest, because the last thing you want to do is have like three protein bars and then get up to shoot and you have all this blood in your stomach.”

“Yeah, and it's amazing. Yeah, it's wild. So I would say when I'm doing, when we were doing hard training and look, talk to your medical professional. I'm not given medical advice here. But I was using a scoop, which is, say, five grams of creatine three or four times over the course of a full training session, I would say. And then what we figured out reasonably late, this was a lucky discovery, ended up playing around because I had used this actually on very, very long hikes, which is something called fuel also by Momentus. And that is a combination of electrolytes and let's just call them more slowly digested carbohydrate and a handful of other things, but it's basically like Bugatti Kool-Aid for mental and physical performance. And it was visibly noticeable.”

“Even in cold water even if you're combining it with other things so i figured out the timing for using that using glutamine which is incredibly cheap And I use Momentus glutamine also. The next one I'll talk about. And for muscle recovery and soreness, it is incredibly effective. I wrote about this in the four-hour body. I know you're pretty skeptical at first.”

“Don't judge me, but like, you know, maybe it's like muscle milk or whatever. And then having almonds, I had tolerated Maui Nui venison sticks really well. We knew that I could digest that reasonably quickly. So always traveling with that Then figured out a couple of other things. So I'll give a couple of shout outs because these products end up being really, really helpful. So PT, P-I-Q-U-E, which are basically, if you think about matcha as whole leaf, these are pu air oolong. They're all whole leaf. They're powdered. So you can mix them instantly.”

“Yeah. All right. So, other things mentioned standardizing as much as possible. So one was, and look, guys, I'm not proud of this, but I'll admit it, figuring out expedient fuel that you can get or bring with you everywhere, right? Especially with the amount of travel I was doing. That was actually very good practice. It's like, okay, let me know how much caffeine I can tolerate. What am I going to use? Does it help at all? Because oodles and oodles of liquid anxiety does not help you shoot better, which is why also why beta blockers are not allowed in competition unless you get deliberately fat enough that you have a prescription for them that's a whole separate story. There are actually people who do that, just like the sprinters in the Olympics who, oh my God, happen to all be narcoleptics. So they can take modafinil. What a coincidence. All right. Putting all that aside. So what does that mean? That means that I wanted to be able to fuel myself.”

“Time left. And what happens to a lot of people? What happened to me initially is I would rush through that shot. And let it rip, but I would still have 15 seconds left, but I rushed it and it would not be a good shot.”

“Well, that's another thing that happened to me, right? So given, let's just say, six months of serious practice, now it's like two weeks out starting to aim. I still have a lot that is manual. It's not yet automatic. So I am a pretty slow shooter.”

“And then it was really, I think, a combination of, I mentioned a few things, we talked about the tournament conditions. And with each mock tournament or league night that I did, the scores went up. So everything was trending in the right direction. And I was trying, I mean, I used AI and all these tools to find every possible shop within an hour and a half driving distance and what kind of targets are they using. Can I bring my own target, which we ended up doing, right? Yeah, you went.”

“And those play poker, like, do you go tilt, monkey tilt? Like, how bad does it get? And can you recover if and when that happens? And I was just the wheels came off. Yeah. It did. The wheels came off. I was like, aren't you stupid? Fuck this game. I didn't say that. But I was inside. Inside, I was definitely, I was not happy”

“That is one reason. Another is to see what happens to your mental state, if and when. I guess it's not really if. I mean, at my level, when you make mistakes.”

“In front of me and behind me. And I mean, you just want to hope if you're right handed, you don't have a left handed person right next to you on your right side because you're going to basically be eye-gazing them the whole time. It's really distracting. Although I encourage you”

“So much worse. So, I should highlight that there are so many reasons in any sport to mimic or rehearse competition conditions. But in the case of Artrie, one is you want to get used to being crowded, right? If you're training by yourself, that's not the way it works at any of these larger tournaments. Like you're going to be on a line and literally could have somebody, I don't know, how far away were folks with me?”

“And what we discovered when I did my, I guess it was probably the first time we did the tournament conditions. A few things. Number one, my instinctive shooting was not going to work, right? It was all over the place. On top of that, with the much thicker arrows, which are much heavier, The error arrest, which in this case is a fallaway rest. What was the model on this?”

“Yeah, it made a lot of sense. What that meant, though, is we had to adjust a bunch of the gear. And when you put the arrow on your bow, all right, I'll just keep it simple, you have an arrow rest. And we had an arrow rest that had been working great. Fantastic. It had been working so well with the little tiny darts that I had been using. Once we put the much heavier Arizona. And I mean, I guess what is the model of those arrows?”

“The first, I would say, is standardizing a handful of things. So obviously the shot sequence and anchor and aiming system and all of that. The second was experimenting in mock tournament conditions because we also discovered, for instance, that when we went from, we upgraded from a very, very narrow arrow, so the shaft of the arrow and therefore the head of the arrow as well in this particular case because they're not broadheads or anything, going from a very, very thin arrow to a maximum allowable javelin size to arrow. And what's the reason for that?”

“Sure. And there's some amazing instinctive shooters. They don't tend to go to competition for reasons we can get into. But for instance, I don't want to name them. I don't want to dox them. But this amazing guy from Albania at one range I went to, and this guy all day long with his hunting bow, like a trad hunting bow made out of wood, just drilling the center of this target for two hours straight every time I saw him. And you would get a pullback and then as soon as he got his finger to the corner of his mouth, he would release. And that was it. And the guy's just a beast. I mean, incredibly good. So we finally start aiming. And I want to mention a couple of other things that I think were key to ultimately being very happy with performance at Lancaster, even though, of course, I always wanted to do better.”

“Yeah, yeah, and I was just like, what the hell is going on? So the reason that I sometimes compare it to golf, even though I've only played golf a few times, it's like, you're looking at this, you're like, okay, there are 100 different checkpoints. Which one is it? If it's even one of those hundred. And that's the detective work.”

“Oh, it was wild because I would go from one setting and we ended up shooting at a CrossFit gym from 730 to like 1030 at night. That was the only time and the only location that we could find. And thank you to those guys. What a lifesaver. Chris Spieler, I think it was, Park City Fit. Amazing gym. The cleanest gym I've ever seen.”

“In terms of Point of impact. Okay Keeping all this in mind, when I got into those lighting conditions with everything at play in competition, it was a disaster. I mean, it was all over the place. It was the worst.”

“Yeah, you're not allowed to use the site. So, what do you do? Well, the first thing is for left, right, you do have something called the plunger. You can think of it just as kind of a screw that it's much more than that, but it pushes the arrow left or allows it to be more flush right. So you can use that to adjust your left, right? But how do you adjust your up, down? Got a problem. Okay. Well, the way you do that, and there are a lot of different approaches to this, but you're crawling. So that means you're using your thumb to basically move your fingers down from the back of the arrow to, let's just say further down you go, the further down on the target it's going to land and so on. And it needs to be very precise. This is part of what makes Beribose so frustrating and so difficult. If you're, I mean one millimeter, right? Like above or below a line.”

“So they put it another way if you had a sight on your bow or on your gun or whatever, you take some shots, assuming your technique is decent, and then based on where it landed bottom left, and then you adjust the site to move that point of impact. Correct. Can't do that in Bare”

“It was dark, and so I could not reliably track because my arrow tip people who've done bare bug are going to find this funny. It was like three feet below the center of the target. I mean, it was really, really low.”

“Group in the middle, exactly. So all of a sudden, and thank God we did these test events, which I always have done in any other sport also. You just do not know what's going to happen and how you're going to respond in competition conditions until you do it. So there are a few things I think we did right. There are a lot of things we did right. But doing those warm-up tournaments, thank God, those were there. And with the black. Baal, the black background that ended up”

“Yeah, I went in and basically just audited the thing, right? To try to get competition condition experience. And there are a few things that we noticed. So one is in that environment, the bail, the canvas upon which you put the target, right? The backstop. Is black. And all of a sudden, my eyes started doing funny things, and I couldn't see the arrow tip as well. Now, the reason that's relevant is, and I wasn't trying to place the tip of the arrow in the center of the target, but I would try to see it so that I could tell if I was roughly in the center of the target, right? So I would pay attention to the left, right.”

“A test event per se, but like. Yeah, exactly. See how things are going. Exactly. Yeah, that's a great point. So, I mean, I don't recommend this, guys. So if you can do a ton of warm-up tournaments before the big tournament, I highly recommend doing that. Just didn't really work out that way. But we went to a number of league nights and won. Two small events at the Eastern Range in Salt Lake City, which is awesome.”

“Shooting an arrow if they haven't had a lot of experience is like pulling back and letting go. But you have this equal and opposite action in pushing forward with the bowhand. And there's a lot of technical detail that goes into how you do that. But basically pushing a portion of your palm, kind of the right next to your lifeline in the meaty pad of the thumb, let's just say roughly where”

“Hundreds. Yeah, like a hundred checklist points for every shot. And until you have a critical mass of those steps on autopilot, you cannot add more steps. Therefore, given the compressed timeline we were dealing with, it was also like waiting for my nervous system to adapt. And for that reason, like sometimes if you're trying to grease the groove with a particular motor pattern, it's like, okay, lighter limbs are fine. Dial it down. And then, so in terms of my instinctive approach, found a compromise was, all right, you're not going to try to put the arrow tip or the crest of the arrow on the bullseye, again, for simplicity, just saying that. However, there are a few things you are going to do. You're going to burn a hole into the very center of the target with your eyes. And you're going to people think of”

“Yeah, exactly. I mean, because, for instance, the more weight there's a point of diminishing returns. But since you can't put stabilizers on a bare bow, people add weight. They just have to keep the weight very close to the bow because this ring has to be able to pass over the whole thing for you to use it in competition. But people had quite a bit of weight. And it helps to stabilize things. But I could not try it.”

“Shoulder. We did a bunch of stuff that we won't necessarily get into because it gets really technical. But a lot of things that would confuse even certain experienced folks, like the upper and lower limbs, where you would attach the string, switching those and making all sorts of tweaks to the equipment to compensate or to allow this compromise shoulder to function.”

“Well, I was also doing a few things that you recommended because in fairness, we tried to have me aim earlier. And I had for the first time target panic with the understanding that the tip is always going to move. But I started to develop this anxiety around shooting.”

“Get to the point with the blank bill were granted. It's like for me 10 feet away, 12 feet away, whatever, that these errors were just getting clumped right on top of one another. Even if I shot, I know this is maybe not your favorite thing, but I did this too. Like sometimes releasing with my eyes closed. Sure. And then how long before Lancaster did I start aiming with the crest of the Aratub.”

“Yeah, so flashing back then, thinking about, say, the six months leading up to Lancaster, a couple of things. So one is I for a very long time, people are going to find this pretty funny. Number one, I didn't care about hitting the bullseye. I did care about grouping. So I wanted Arrows to land very close to one another But if there were bottom left, top right, my assumption was, and I'm sure this is based off of conversations we had, if you're shooting consistently, if you're getting good groups consistently, it's not just a one-off kind of lucky bunch of arrows, then moving that on the target face is not going to say necessarily simple, but it ended up being pretty straightforward as we got further down. But doing the blank bail.”
