Will Fagan from Ricochet Outdoors joins us to discuss hunting season preparation, covering everything from firearms and feed to e-bikes and gear essentials as August signals the start of preparation season for serious hunters.

• The .350 Legend has become the most popular straight-wall cartridge due to its low recoil and effective range
• E-bikes are revolutionizing hunting access, with the Crusader 3.0 offering the best combination of features for hunters
• Nut Grub feed has replaced rice bran as the most effective deer attractant on the market
• Hunting retail business remains steady year-round rather than just peaking before season
• Proper preparation involves getting gear, ammunition, and feeds in place well before opening day
• Lever-action rifles like .45-70 and .30-30 maintain popularity among traditional hunters
• The step-through design of newer e-bikes makes them more practical for hunting applications

Check out Ricochet Outdoors in Conway for all your hunting supplies, guns, ammo, feed, and e-bikes as you prepare for the upcoming season.

Speaker 4

Yeah .

Speaker 3

It's that new Benelli Lupo . What are you ? Doing with it Three-way . I don't think they're sending it . Oh , to try , I got you . I had to have an FFL . Let's go . They can't send it to my house . You going to shoot something with ?

Speaker 1

it this year . That's the plan . I always ask you , dude .

Speaker 5

That's a nice rifle .

Speaker 3

Yeah , Is that it I mean that's one .

Speaker 2

The Hawkeye , that's the one you got in it ?

Speaker 3

It's like brown ? I think no , that's it .

Speaker 1

I don't remember it looking like that .

Speaker 5

I think it might have been the same gun . No , no , that's it Stock was different . No , it ain't the same gun . No , that stock's definitely brown . I promise you Get the pictures .

Speaker 1

What I like about . Dad is he's got one of the worst memories on him . He knows it . But he will still fight what he thinks to the death no , that's it , even after he figures out it's half the time you know , he knows the memory suck . Oh , that's , he told me the other day .

Speaker 5

Listen . How would I even know ? Didn't I say it was a painted or some kind of weird stock ?

Speaker 1

yeah , all right , that's the laminate stock see , I knew that , so you put a pulled it up , so chances are I'm telling the truth you're telling the truth of your own beliefs , no , your own perspective .

Speaker 5

This is the gun that I got from Will .

Speaker 1

It was on the shelf . I don't know if that's the gun that you let Haley shoot , though is what I'm saying , Maybe not . That's what Daryl is also saying , yeah that's what I'm saying .

Speaker 3

That might be the gun that you're manifesting .

Speaker 1

Yeah , yeah yeah .

Speaker 3

Now , that might be the case .

Speaker 2

Yes , it is . He told me the other day .

Speaker 3

He's not spitting on me now .

Speaker 5

All right , that's a valid point .

Speaker 1

Yeah , that's what I'm saying . Okay , yeah , I'm not saying you're wrong . I know you have that going . I don't think you're on . You're tracking what ?

Speaker 2

oh , I got you , I got you , I got you he told me the other day I was talking to him about I was working on a boat , yeah , and I'd put like two inch spacers or something on it . And then he starts yelling at me that's not what you need . And I said , tim , that's what you fucking told me to do . And he said , well , that don't make it right .

Speaker 1

That don't make it right , that's so funny , there's just so much going on , you know .

Speaker 5

Oh it is . Do we need a note too ?

Speaker 1

I just gave him one , because he's probably not as used to looking up to the board like you guys are .

Speaker 2

Am I supposed to be looking at something . There is nothing on the board we need to look at the board too .

Speaker 1

You got Magnum PI up there .

Speaker 5

You gave him a list and we don't have a list .

Speaker 3

Have you shot one of those new ?

Speaker 2

AI guns yet no , I have not shot one .

Speaker 1

Explain that . What does the AI actually stand for ? Is it not ?

Speaker 3

It stands for something . So what's the sheep are ?

Speaker 2

you all right , so it's a sheep brother . Yeah , they call it a shot pattern , there you go better and be more . True , supposedly how like ?

Speaker 1

what's the process behind that like why ?

Speaker 5

so the benelli shoots how does ai make the gun further ?

Speaker 2

that's what he's trying to say no , it holds the shot pattern together better like . How's that , though ? Stabilization it's just like when you lengthen your forcing cone or something you know , it just makes that shot . Stick together and go out further and you can get better .

Speaker 3

How does ai do that ? I just what they're calling it , it's not . Ai it's not artificial intelligence . That's what I'm getting at here . Well , I didn't know .

Speaker 5

So , Jake , what is AI ?

Speaker 3

then , the AI with the gun .

Speaker 4

Yeah , I don't know . But I know it's not artificial intelligence . Okay , I thought it was . That's my misconception too .

Speaker 1

That's why I kept beating Darrell up . I'm like , but what does that even mean ? What does AI stand for ?

Speaker 3

I'm going to do something cool with AI In a few weeks , we'll shoot one and we can tell what the difference is . I'd like to know what the difference is .

Speaker 1

What would Elon have to do with it ?

Speaker 3

You have a bunch in the shop . Will yeah , Tim wants my exact gun . What the yeah ? I want that .

Speaker 5

I mean , I want a panda , though they just got the AI version of it . Oh God , I got to have that .

Speaker 3

I know , I just ordered one yesterday , don't worry .

Speaker 5

I got to have the AI .

Speaker 3

I got to see the difference .

Speaker 2

Yeah , it is crazy . I really want to know what the difference AI is that .

Speaker 3

I like that . What is that ? What are we looking at ? It's 308 .

Speaker 2

It's 308 . I'm down . Which one do you like the best out of the ones I showed you ?

Speaker 1

What it's for .

Speaker 2

Haley right .

Speaker 5

Can I see the ?

Speaker 1

pictures . So I mean it needs to be smaller . It needs to be a smaller more controlled .

Speaker 5

What are they looking at over there ? Oh , okay , it's fine .

Speaker 2

Okay , what is it ?

Speaker 1

Hold up the camera so everybody can see . It's a pretty picture .

Speaker 2

It's a pretty picture .

Speaker 3

Well , Shockley knew Colt .

Speaker 2

Shockley did yeah .

Speaker 5

It's a pretty picture .

Speaker 4

Make sure to bring my damn gun back .

Speaker 2

What gun is he taking ? He's taking my Benelli . Oh yeah you better .

Speaker 1

I seen it in the back seat , I was not going to bring it up . Okay , I knew flustery about it if I brought it up . I've seen it in the back , see , I rubbed the stock .

Speaker 2

I was looking at it . It's nice , it is , it's very nice . It's just a super black Rob Roberts , super black eagle theory , mm-hmm .

Speaker 1

I've seen it in your back seat . By the way , Can I get that new shotgun ? The shotgun Daryl has .

Speaker 3

Yeah , I think so . That's his shotgun . He wants a Super Sport Performance Series no .

Speaker 2

I don't have an Ethos .

Speaker 5

You can't get them .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I mean , but it'll take like six forehers for it to come in if I ordered it tomorrow . Really Left-handed , I don't know if they make the Ethos in the lefty .

Speaker 5

I'd have to look . You can't get a left-handed model , darrell , can I get one ?

Speaker 2

No can I get one . No , I mean , I think he's only right-handed . That good , all right . I'm pretty sure the ethos comes right-handed .

Speaker 5

Let's look it up real quick you know that's the bad thing about being a lefty is like you're cut off from half the cool shit .

Speaker 4

Yeah , just be , born right-handed .

Speaker 5

When you're left-handed it's all .

Speaker 3

You're so bad you want to shoot it right-handed what what so bad ? You want to shoot it right-handed . What ? What the gun is so bad . You want to shoot it right-handed . Bad means good . I mean the gun is so good that I would .

Speaker 1

I mean I would , you would compromise shooting right-handed Compromise a right-hand gun , you would compromise how you've always shot guns your whole life Advanced impact is what AI stands for .

Speaker 5

Yeah , I can't believe y'all are fall face yet it has to be marketing schemes .

Speaker 3

It's all marketing schemes . I'm sure it is . It has to be . It sounds cool , though it's exactly what it is . Yeah .

Speaker 2

You got to come out with something new every now and then , really .

Speaker 3

I mean , at least call it . They did test it .

Speaker 5

They put them in the video where they shot through the little phone things .

Speaker 3

What is ?

Speaker 2

the AI part of the gun , though . What is this ? Is the barrel . It's like a hardened barrel or more twist or something at the end of the twist . I mean it's the forcing cone in the shotgun and then forcing cone in the shotgun I have a forcing cone in all my shotguns .

Speaker 3

I guess I don't know what that is what is that ?

Speaker 2

it's kind of like it's just the shot chamber where the shot travels through , so it's a tighter and it holds it together better . It's a tighter cone .

Speaker 5

That's what it is Before the choke , really . So they just squeeze the shot together .

Speaker 4

You can sit in any gun and get it done yeah .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 4

It's crazy .

Speaker 1

You'd think they would sell it like that they do .

Speaker 3

It's called . Yeah , I know , I'm saying . I'm saying like if they've been around as long , you know , if you get a performance series going .

Speaker 5

They are yeah so .

Speaker 1

So it's basically internal choke no , you crossed the line there yeah , well , I mean right .

Speaker 5

So you got two chokes now , so just one but kind of holds your pellets together denser .

Speaker 2

That way you can control it better with a tube .

Speaker 1

It's like a difference between a sports brawl and a regular wire brawl .

Speaker 5

So basically what it does is it shapes the shot up before it gets to the final stage of the choke . It just holds it all together better . Yeah , it's not all loose , they're not all running around the chambers and shit all over the place until they get to the end of the barrel . Let's get together real tight , let's go kind of like sperm . Yeah , that's what I was thinking . That's what I'm thinking they were all like grouping up .

Speaker 1

You know all right let's go the way he was describing it .

Speaker 4

I was like who's gonna get there eventually ?

Speaker 5

we got like 28 inches to get our shit together before we hit the tube . You know what I'm saying ? That's a lot , a lot less than that .

Speaker 4

That's like as big as this room what 28 inches , yeah , 28 . That's huge . I mean , how long is the barrel ? I mean three inches , 28 inches , that's what I'm saying .

Speaker 5

The barrel's 28 inches , right 26, . The final joke , that's right . That's what I'm trying to say .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 5

Yeah , it only comes in right hand .

Speaker 3

Yeah , that gun .

Speaker 1

That gun is sick , though dude so light .

Speaker 5

So the AI part is just pretty much getting the shit together right out of the shot .

Speaker 3

You can get a Cordoba , which is pretty much the same gun , just not doesn't have any carbon fiber .

Speaker 5

Oh carbon fiber is .

Speaker 2

It's a marketing scheme and I think it's a big deal , Darryl seems to think it's a big deal , that gun that's in your truck right now . The first day I got it I went and took it apart . Of course I was putting stuff in it , working on it , and I dropped the barrel and the fucking rib broke .

Speaker 5

It was a carbon fiber rib .

Speaker 2

Yeah , it's just a rib .

Speaker 5

Oh , I got you All right . We don't need that . Can we get a left-handed ?

Speaker 1

He's quick .

Advanced Impact: Decoding Shotgun Technology

Speaker 1

He's quick . He's indecisive enough that he's willing to take any guidance he gets . No matter what the first little piece of guidance he gets , he's like you're right , let's go with it , or is there a bad one ? I was wrong . Is that the best ? The only best ?

Speaker 2

one .

Speaker 5

I was wrong , I mean whatever .

Speaker 3

I love my gun yeah . I .

Speaker 1

I will say Darryl's 20 gauge man , you can swing that thing around .

Speaker 5

That's cool , that's you , that is me How'd your Vortex work on a 20 gauge . You should show the camera that . Is that Tim golfing ?

Speaker 1

I didn't even show that to the camera . I think I like just shooting down a red dot . Dang Tim , you're a badass .

Speaker 3

Because it's like you had to actually focus . It wasn't like just a yeah .

Speaker 5

So can we get that gun left-handed ?

Speaker 3

The Cordova ? Yeah , you can get the SP3 . They're all about the same . Honestly , see how much money you want to spend . I'm confused . The price is just the only thing that starts changing in them . What's the difference in price ? I mean one's higher than the other . Well , who knows more than me ? The Cordova's like what ? 25 ? Yeah , that's retail is .

Speaker 2

Yeah , well , yeah .

Speaker 4

Yeah .

Speaker 3

Then the one I got is like 32 . 33 .

Speaker 5

We'll make sure it's 33 . Carbon fiber it's his .

Speaker 2

It's a performance series . Is it the carbon fiber stock ?

Speaker 3

Yeah , I got the ethos one with the carbon fiber spot the red buttons and stuff on it the performance series .

Speaker 4

It's slick I ain't gonna lie it .

Speaker 3

The one I got has like forcing cones . It's like it goes to Rob Roberts before you ever get it .

Speaker 5

Really .

Speaker 2

Yeah , it is nice , you can take a Super Black Eagle and send it up there and get all that stuff done .

Speaker 3

Yeah , that's my Super Black Eagle . It's in the truck , it has all the stuff done . It just doesn't look like mine Really .

Speaker 2

They pick up guns at my shop all the time .

Speaker 5

Well , let's do that you can , even if you send the rob roberts , you can have habit or send my gun off . Get it done , your gun . Okay . Is that even possible ?

Speaker 3

yeah , okay , I think she had new benelli and get it done a new benelli yeah , yours is a one .

Speaker 2

What yours is a one , ain't it ?

Speaker 3

I don't know he has three , that bottom one no , it's not bomb land , it's you have a bottom line three at the house , yeah I've had for like 10 , 12 years no , that's not a three then . Yeah , I've had it a long time . Yeah , I think this is a one .

Speaker 2

Oh , it's a one . Yeah , wow , wow , that's a lefty .

Speaker 5

Why would you want to ask that ? Huh , no , for the right guy .

Speaker 3

man , Wait a minute .

Speaker 5

Wait a minute , what the fuck ? I'm out , I'm out .

Speaker 2

There's too much shit going on . That's just because I feel sorry for you .

Speaker 5

Is it really worth something ?

Speaker 2

Those ones are sought after .

Speaker 4

The ones in the 80s , is it Really ? You're probably going to get some offers in your Facebook inbox yeah , you're going to have people sliding up .

Speaker 1

Dude , Let me get that .

Speaker 2

Left-handed one too . Yeah , that's exclusive Nothing . The Tim Scott edition you should have said anything about it , you want ?

Speaker 3

to sell that gun . You got like a thousand of them anyway . Why do you want to ?

Speaker 1

buy a left-handed .

Speaker 5

I knew something was fishy . I knew something was fishy . You'll give me $250 for it .

Speaker 1

Wait a minute , something's fishy Good deal .

Speaker 4

So what'd they do from the one to the three ?

Speaker 2

They made a few changes to them , stocks and something A little bit internal . Okay .

Speaker 3

The one you can float a shell to . Yeah , it's easier , you can do it , I mean yeah , it's easy on the one , it's like easy .

Speaker 5

What ? Float a shell ? Oh , that's why you want it . Put that fourth shell in there , just take your plug out , that's worth it .

Speaker 4

Every guy can do that .

Speaker 1

That'd be the easiest way to do it .

Speaker 5

I got you , I got you that's worth 800 , easy , just the fourth show .

Speaker 1

I mean , how serious are you about it ?

Speaker 4

you know , how bad do you want it ?

Speaker 1

That's right .

Speaker 3

That's right , they're all good guns Now they're all good .

Speaker 2

I got a special one in the other day from them . They sent me everything but my 24-7 . Really , oh , they hadn't released those yet . Oh , they hadn't come out yet .

Speaker 3

They released but they hadn't shipped them . They're still building . You should probably have them by the end of September .

Speaker 4

They're making a 24-7? .

Speaker 2

I ordered some just for you . You sucker .

Speaker 4

What are those going to look like ?

Speaker 3

So they're just . They're called the funeral pack and all he is . Basically they're taking the pellets and they're putting You're talking about migraine .

Speaker 4

Yeah , oh , never mind , then I thought you were talking about that . Benelli was making it 24-7 .

Speaker 1

At first , that's what I was thinking .

Speaker 4

Well , now I look like the idiot , so it's okay .

Speaker 1

Well , that's why being quiet sometimes is the best . I know when to talk and when I don't know to talk , we just got to figure that out real quick . Yeah , I'll read the room quick , hey notice , I didn't say nothing .

Speaker 3

He was wondering too .

Speaker 1

I was like okay , tim still thinks about his gun . You know what ?

Speaker 5

I mean .

Speaker 3

Are we getting a new gun or what ? Yeah , you just ordered one . He's already . We're sending it to rob roberts . He's gonna have havoc boats . You have t scott on . It's gonna be cool custom , pretty cool terminator shut up .

Speaker 1

Do I need ?

Speaker 2

to get one , or do I need to get four done ?

Speaker 4

uh , oh , man whatever you're five , at least get two four hey , if we're gonna do two , if we're gonna go two , let's make it three I mean , I already knew I had , we need new guns anyway , exactly we need new guns . Yeah , it was like three that's why we're not successful you can't , yeah , you got it yeah , you need it .

Speaker 5

That's what I feel like when I go to the bait store , but by these baits I catch more fish .

Speaker 4

I will say give me every time you're gonna do this .

Speaker 3

I mean , you gotta you know what's the worst thing about a bait shop though , is we go in there and you look at somebody on the owl and they're grabbing something . I'll let them walk away and I'll go see if they grab , and I'll grab something like there's a reason he's grabbing this .

Speaker 1

he knows something we over complicated because tyler's the only one that actually knows how to fish and if you go to a base or a tower dude , he's like a sniper in there . He don't graze , he goes directly for what he's looking for . He's like boom , boom , boom , boom bang . That's the guy you need to follow and you're going to come out with six different things and you're not even going to spend no time in there .

Speaker 5

The road to the pro looks good .

Speaker 1

It did yeah .

Speaker 5

I was absolutely the worst , Really . I think so why ? Because Daryl I mean Daryl , he seemed pretty cool , you had a good deal going .

Speaker 1

I looked okay . I felt like I did good for the fact that I couldn't catch any fish .

Speaker 3

I had a lot of different stuff going on in my video in my part .

Speaker 5

Yeah , I mean , yours looked good .

Speaker 4

Well , we got to get you some drip .

Speaker 1

You know what that ?

Speaker 5

is now , so next season , yeah , don't be capping on me , man .

Speaker 4

I'm not capping dude . Okay , road to pro style .

Speaker 1

It's to come , we're gonna get better at it . I mean , let's talk about some deer hunting . All right , season is coming , it is all right . Who here ? Who here's pumped about it ? Me well if fagin is I'm ready you ready for it ?

Speaker 2

no , I'm not ready .

Speaker 5

You got your story ready , you gotta all come deer hunting stuff .

Speaker 2

Oh yeah , we're getting stuff in every day .

Speaker 1

Yeah , getting geared up , yeah it's like when august hits , it gets for real you sell a lot of guns it's picking up .

Speaker 2

It slows down during the summer quite a bit , but people really yeah , people are dead , man , I mean . And I don't sell a bunch of the tactical ars and all that makes sense I mean it's just

Speaker 5

not really what we're known for . Yeah , you sell a lot of rifles and duck guns and turkey guns and stuff Higher-end shotguns and punch-bolt guns . Hey , I drove that new bike , that new bike I got from you . That's way better , way better .

Speaker 2

You're talking about the one with the lower frame . It's way more cruiser . Yeah , Crusader 3.0 .

Speaker 5

3.0 . Yeah , way better , crusader 3.0 .

Speaker 3

3.0 .

Speaker 2

Yeah way better .

Speaker 3

That's 100 times better .

Speaker 5

Yes , I drove for the first time a couple days ago and I was like dude , it was Ashley's bike , right . I was like you're not getting this bike .

Speaker 1

I was about to say you got that a while ago .

Speaker 5

I finally drove it , you know , because we was cleaning out the garage so I had to move it . I drove it around .

Speaker 1

Of course this guy would push it nowhere .

Speaker 5

No .

Speaker 2

That's too much it's got a motor , there's no sense in pushing it .

Speaker 5

Why would I push another motor ? It's not like it's a regular bicycle .

Speaker 1

You probably drove it from one side to the other side of the garage .

Speaker 5

No , I drove it to the other shop . You know , out the door to the other shop anyways . You know , because we have that new shop . But anyways , it's 100 times better . I can actually get on it .

Speaker 1

Yeah , that's the problem with the big one . That's a really big one , was it Megatron ?

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 1

Dude , that thing's hard to get on .

Speaker 2

Yes .

Speaker 1

Especially if you're on unlevel ground , like you're on the low side . No way you're getting on it .

Speaker 5

Which one did you use ?

Speaker 1

Megatron , the big one .

Speaker 5

You used the big one . That was tough , wasn't it ?

Speaker 1

No , it wasn't too bad , he's taller . Yeah , you know he's a little taller .

Speaker 3

The problem that I have with the Megatron is that once we got to where we're at , it couldn't be that'd be level one .

Speaker 2

I couldn't get to go to level one .

Speaker 3

Oh yeah , that's a handful , but it does fit in the backseat of the F-150 . What ?

Speaker 2

do I ? I rode the F-150 . Because ?

Speaker 3

I was like he's like , well , just put it in the back of the truck . I'm like I'm not putting it in the bed of the truck , grayson , he's like I think it'll be okay , I'm like I'm , I don't know , I will never drive that Megatron .

Speaker 2

I used the Hellcat last year , which is like their Megatron , but I like the Megatron better because the Hellcat's got that big derailleur on it and by the time deer season was over that thing looked like it was 10 years old . Really , oh yeah , but it was all from loading it in and out of the back bed of the truck , you know .

Speaker 3

See , I feel like we need to hunt on the e-bikes . Take the cybercytes with us . Hunt on the e-bikes and if we kill , don't have cybercytes .

Speaker 5

You're talking about like New Mexico .

Speaker 1

No , no , no , For example , a magnet . I mean you could put a little bike rack on the cybercyte and drive , you know , the big leg of the trail on the other side and then get off on the bike and sneak in .

Speaker 2

Yeah , it would be really good . It blows my mind the amount more just animals , deer , coyotes , everything I see when I'm on the bike .

Speaker 1

Oh , you roll up on them all the time . How many of those bikes do ?

Speaker 5

you sell a year . You sell a lot of them .

Speaker 2

I probably sell 20 , 25 .

Speaker 5

I don't think a lot of people understand how convenient they are .

Speaker 1

They're nice dude .

Speaker 4

Well see , I don't know where I can use them , and I can't in Arkansas .

Speaker 2

It's

E-Bikes for Hunting: The Game Changer

Speaker 2

free country , trump's president .

Speaker 4

We'll see .

Speaker 5

You know , the AGFC .

Speaker 3

they got their shit going you can take them anywhere . Just like on WMA , you just go level one .

Speaker 5

Yeah , and you can change the setting right there in the screen .

Speaker 4

See , but I don't want to get in the situation that you were in and not be able to do that ?

Speaker 3

Well , you just have to get the one that can change to level one .

Speaker 1

I mean you got to get the bike for your purpose .

Speaker 4

Just go to yeah , get the one that you need .

Speaker 2

Well , I don't know what my purpose is , is what I'm saying ? The only bike I would have for hunting is the Crusader .

Speaker 5

The Crusader , no doubt that new one .

Speaker 2

That is nice , that new one Step through , step through , you can change it to level one , which I'm sure everybody does when they go on a WMA . The first thing you do is put it in level one , right ?

Speaker 5

No , it's the nicest bike . Yeah , we have what ? Three or four of them .

Speaker 2

It doesn't have that great big derailleur on them . Whenever somebody brings them back and they're tore up , it's usually they rip that derailleur off .

Speaker 5

Yeah , yeah , for sure , it's the nicest bike .

Speaker 2

I told .

Speaker 3

Ashley , I was like we got to get more of these .

Speaker 1

Is it new in the Crusader ?

Speaker 5

Yeah , it's a 3.0 .

Speaker 1

On the Crusader . I came through a Actually offer me to take and I had a blind strapped to the back of it and I had my gun over my chest and I had the blind on the back of it and I had my bag too , and I was coming across this crop field . Dude , oh my gosh , I wrecked it like eight times coming back through there . There's no way .

Speaker 5

It's too muddy in certain areas for me just to go smooth on it . Well , you can't hear the motor because there's no motor . So it's like your mind is kind of like disconnected , like what's really going on .

Speaker 2

Oh yeah , like how am I moving ? Oh yeah , you almost can't hear your tires spinning , oh and rolling up on deer , like you said earlier . Oh yeah , you roll up on them and they're like what the ? Yeah , like , how did you get so close ?

Speaker 5

to me .

Speaker 1

I'd be nowhere . You know what I mean . Yeah , they'll just look at you . They're just like what in the world are you doing ?

Speaker 5

No , no for sure . I mean , that's the bike to have right there .

Speaker 1

Yeah , If anybody's looking for an e-bike , that's the one to have as far as turkey hunting goes . There's no other way to do it .

Speaker 2

Mm-mm , there's no Now if you're hunting out west , you might would get one of those bikes with the derailleur and all the gears on it for going up long street . You know steep grades . Is that what that's for ? Yeah , dude , I bet they can be bad .

Speaker 3

Squirrel hunting behind some dogs , that would be fun , dude that is a ticket , man , a bike , that you can go anywhere in the woods as long as you're back there . You real quick Shoot a squirrel . Oh , we're doing that .

Speaker 1

That's a good idea . I don't think I've ever seen anybody squirrel hunting with one . They haven't .

Speaker 3

Coon hunting or anything .

Speaker 5

Especially a new one , because it's so small , it's not like the big ones .

Speaker 2

You just got to get the tires filled with some good slime so they don't go flat . Does that make a difference ? Oh yeah , my place is just solid thorns . I put slime in it and it does okay . But then there's a lawnmower shop over there that sells some stuff that you can't shoot a hole in a tire .

Speaker 5

Really , really , it's freaking nice yeah .

Speaker 2

What's it called ? It's like Evafoam . I don't remember what it's called .

Speaker 1

So you poke your tires , thorns and stuff , mm-hmm .

Speaker 3

Yeah , that would suck .

Speaker 1

Oh yeah .

Speaker 3

Be out there coon hunting at 2 in the morning .

Speaker 1

And you're way further than you ever would have been . Yeah , because you're way further than you ever would have been . Yeah .

Speaker 4

You know be like a two-hour walk back to the trail .

Speaker 5

Well , how's ?

Speaker 2

bow sales . Good well , how's both ? How's ?

Speaker 5

both sales . Good , good been steady man . People are definitely thinking about hunting . Yeah , even as hot as it's been , I know I'm looking forward to it cool down a little bit .

Speaker 1

Yeah , me too well , you got the people that are getting ready now , and then you got the big wave of people are getting ready right before you know , and that's the .

Speaker 2

That's one thing that's always blown my mind and people ask me all the time . Well , I bet you're in your busy time of year . It's probably slow right now , man . I can't , I've never been able to pinpoint . Okay , this is the slow time or this is the busy . I mean , it's just pretty steady .

Speaker 5

Well , you sell so many different things . You sell clothes , guns , bikes . Yeah , I'm just talking about just boat sales .

Speaker 2

Yeah , it's just always pretty steady yeah .

Speaker 5

Yeah .

Speaker 2

Somebody's always looking for a boat . Yeah , I mean , duck season's over with . You would think it would die down , but you know duck hunters , as soon as it's over with , they're thinking about next year . Yeah , they're getting ready .

Speaker 1

Mm-hmm Well you know it's like also too , with sailing , so many different models . You know it's like a boat for everything . Yeah Well , you know it's like a boat for everything .

Speaker 2

Yeah well , I mean , that's the deal . It's like with anything else , there's no such thing as a perfect boat right they run their boat all year and they're like man . I wish I had a 53 instead of a 56 or whatever , get some thinking and then they say you know , they're looking their buddies boats nicer than theirs , you know yeah , and then the sandbar stuff , yeah .

Speaker 5

What's your best seller ?

Speaker 2

653 vj .

Speaker 4

I'll be there jake , we'll have to cut that out um say something else will uh second , yeah , yeah , I'm perfectly a-okay with the vjs going away .

Speaker 2

Really , I mean , it's a . I wish there was just one , you know , like a 653 or a 553 , and that was it , you know .

Speaker 1

Yeah so you got people that come in like I'm looking for a vjst , I want a 653 , and you're like , you got 553s .

Speaker 2

You're like , yeah , well , and I want to put you know , I want to put a 25 to hot suit on it so they can run it in the metro or whatever . But they don't want to set it up and all my boat hops or whatever . Yeah , vjs are great boats and they're they're tough too , but I don't know .

Speaker 5

I just wish there was just one size yeah , well , you get a lot of different people out there , you know , wanting different things . I mean , it's hard to get that one perfect boat , you know especially when you have , like you have , different size in the vjs and you got the different sizes in the dbsts and different sizes in the msts , and it's like well , there's .

Speaker 2

there's a lot of people come to shop and they'll come by four or five , six times and just walk around , looking and , looking and looking . Like too many options ain't there ? Like yeah , I'm more confused now than when I got here , that's crazy .

Speaker 5

Why do we have so many options , Jake ?

Speaker 4

I think that's a different stroke for different folks , you don't ?

Speaker 2

have nearly the options you used to have .

Speaker 4

You're too innovative , you know everybody comes to you with a problem and you build a boat for that problem .

Speaker 5

Yeah , we try . You know everybody comes to you with a problem and you build a boat for that problem and then you know we tried to get rid of the 756 VJ now we replaced it with a 1760 and that's about to come out .

Speaker 4

So you know , I don't know that we'll ever be able to get them . You know , get the officers dialed back but it keeps us busy too .

Speaker 3

It really does Get the off-sense dial back as soon as you delete it . Somebody will be like man , that's the boat I want .

Speaker 2

But it keeps us busy too .

Speaker 4

It really does the 1760, .

Speaker 2

I think it would be a good size for a DJ too , but the Brawling 1760 , though Do a big one and then a 553 . A big one and a little one .

Speaker 5

Yeah , just two . A lot of the't have to have the big eye bait .

Speaker 1

They don't have to over trim and make the boat hop or whatever they don't want to run on the plug .

Speaker 4

The 1760, .

Speaker 5

When I first seen it , though , I thought it was going to be wider and shorter . Yeah .

Speaker 1

No , it ain't . I don't even know what we can say or what we can't say about this , but let's just say we built the boat and me and Dad , we went to the rigging department looking for it . We couldn't find it .

Speaker 2

And they're like it's in there .

Speaker 5

We done called everybody . We're like hey , where is this VJ at ?

Speaker 1

They're like it's in the rigging department , we finally find the VJ , and I understand now why we couldn't find it . Yeah , I understand now why we couldn't find it . Yeah , because it looks identical to a regular DBST .

Speaker 2

It had a gun box in it and everything . Why are we building it ? Do you have gun boxes in there ?

Speaker 1

No .

Speaker 4

Not anymore .

Speaker 1

The one we built I'm talking about from the naked eye outside , looking in the boat .

Speaker 5

We couldn't tell a difference there wouldn't be a difference between a . Dbst and a VJ . I'm like this won't work At all . Solid floor everything . Why would they buy a DBST when they can buy a 1760 ?

Speaker 1

VJ for the .

Speaker 5

VJ price and it looks the same .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I mean it had a . They got a solid floor in it . Yeah , no , it did . It had a solid floor . Well , it did .

Speaker 5

I think it was a mistake on our part , but yes , dpst with a VJ price , I'm like , well , that ain't going to .

Speaker 1

That's what it was . I said that dog ain't hunting .

Speaker 5

Yeah .

Speaker 3

That can't fly . No , where's the boat at now ? Take the floor out .

Speaker 4

There's two of them . Someone very lucky is going to get that boat .

Speaker 1

The first one with a solid floor and a gum box . Lucky guy , yeah , lucky guy . He's getting a hell of a boat .

Speaker 5

Well , I mean , it's a VJ . It looks like a DBSD .

Speaker 1

Yeah , nobody's going to know the difference . It's like makeup on a VJ it is a DBSD . You know what I'm saying ? It is a DBSD .

Speaker 4

That's all it is the only difference is the ribs .

Speaker 3

It only has the ribs , it's a rib . Like the DBS , confuse ourselves all the time you know what I'm saying , so we understand . We'll try to make it easier for you guys . Somebody getting a boat with a lot of upgrades for the no upgrade price for no upgrade price no , no , that didn't work alphabet boat .

Speaker 1

We actually we're getting a lot of names . Yeah , the the podcast boat's been pretty good .

Speaker 5

The podcast boat yeah like all the set-up boats from the internet Podcast boat .

Speaker 3

Oh , you own a podcast boat . That's what they're calling them . It's trending on TikTok the podcast boat .

Speaker 2

Yeah , podcast boat .

Speaker 1

Something new every day .

Speaker 2

You know what they say ? What when you're at the top of the flagpole ? They can't say nothing but your ass .

Speaker 5

That's right , that's right , I ain't worried about it ?

Speaker 2

I ain't worried about it .

Speaker 5

So what else you guys got going on at Conway ?

Speaker 3

You got some sick in that store yet , nope , no sick , still working on it .

Speaker 5

We working on it though , aren't we ? Yeah , we working on it , just the We'll get it Cl ?

Speaker 2

I don't know , I just hadn't done great with them .

Speaker 5

Is it a volume deal ? Like you might have a bigger selection ?

Speaker 2

I mean , I tried to get more stuff last year , you know a bigger selection and you got to have every color , every camo , every color , every size . And then you know , then everybody's got their discount codes and yeah stuff and they come in , look at it and they go order it online or whatever . But you know a lot of people like to go to the store and buy it , try it on , buy it there yeah we've done okay with it .

Speaker 5

Never did great yeah , we can see how that can be a problem yeah , yeah , we went to the Sitka store in Montana and it was nice to walk around and actually feel the material of all the clothes and stuff .

Speaker 2

I mean , I think something like Sitka would do better . I mean , and I like some of that other stuff , but me , if I'm going to spend that kind of money on a jacket or whatever , I want to put my hands on it .

Speaker 4

Yeah .

Speaker 5

I've never been able to make myself . That's really why I have so much clothes Sika clothes .

Speaker 4

Because you ordered it all online . You ordered it all online , yeah .

Speaker 1

There's nothing wrong with that , and it's like trial and error . You feel it and you're like I don't really like the material . It becomes a functional tool Cool .

Speaker 5

Well , it comes from that to just a collection of clothes . Well , I'm so far in , I might as well just collect all of it .

Speaker 4

Yeah , I mean there's a Sitka store in your house .

Speaker 5

Yeah , I got way more . It's pretty cool . I got way more .

Speaker 2

I've always done a lot better with like accessories .

Speaker 5

Yeah .

Speaker 2

And you know bags and Decoys , yeah , decoys , and you know whatever .

Speaker 3

Yeah , I stopped there and bought a shot caller on my way to . Where was I going last year ? Nebraska . Yeah , on my way to Nebraska I got stopped at Will's by a shot caller .

Speaker 2

We started doing some more of that stuff , some more dog

Boat Talk: Models and Market Trends

Speaker 2

stuff .

Speaker 1

It's been doing pretty decent , yeah , everybody loves their dogs oh yeah man , I bet you sell the shit out of some drain plugs . I give a lot away , I tell you , I need one all the time . There probably are drain plugs .

Speaker 5

You know I call those stuff , hey , y'all got to ship drain plugs .

Speaker 1

We'll send them like 50 drain plugs .

Speaker 5

Hey , y'all shoot me a load of buzz and I get no drain plugs .

Speaker 3

You can sell some drain plugs at boat ramps . Oh yeah , dude , there's a couple times I've been in someone .

Speaker 1

Imagine you just had like a little drain plug machine at every boat ramp $20 ?

Speaker 2

Yeah , a shotgun shell and electrical tape will work . Yes , it will work . It will work .

Speaker 5

Get you out of a bind For sure how many times did y'all go to the boat ramp and not have a drain plug ?

Speaker 3

I can't count All the time . We were scrambling through trucks trying to find one .

Speaker 1

I watched Daryl . One time we went to the .

Speaker 2

Tiller Ham race .

Speaker 1

And Daryl didn't have a drain plug . We were going to the Tiller Ham race . Daryl didn't have a drain . I watched him find Shockley's truck in the parking lot , climb in the back of his truck , break into his toolbox in the back of his truck and steal a drain plug out of it .

Speaker 3

I forgot about that .

Speaker 1

I watched him do this .

Speaker 3

I was like you don't got a drain plug . He's like what are you doing ? I said I know Shockley got probably one in the back of that truck somewhere and we're both people . He had a dishwasher box and everything back there .

Speaker 5

We're boat people , we're terrible .

Speaker 3

I'm telling you If I get to my truck season , I'm in my truck . My neighbor searched for something and they told me only for a drain plug . I'd be like I understand .

Speaker 1

I get it , dude , I get it .

Speaker 2

I get it Like you came all the way day I rigged . I finally rigged the white boat . Yeah , I'm gonna go take it out .

Speaker 5

No , drain plug no , I had drain plug .

Speaker 2

Just had my steering hooked up backwards I've done that .

Speaker 1

Hey , that's hard to load back up with the trailer yeah , he is a dealer , yeah I don't double check my stuff .

Speaker 2

That makes too much sense . I do this every day .

Speaker 4

I don't need to double check my stuff . That makes too much sense .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I do this every day . I don't need to double check it . The bad thing is is when I was bleeding the system . You know I'm sitting there turning the wheel looking at the motor . Never , even Never dawned on me . Nope , never dawned on me .

Speaker 5

Yeah , Until you get out there , yeah , hey driven a console boat backwards with reverse steering .

Speaker 1

Dude , it is ridiculously hard , it is . It's right there like . Imagine if , like , a bicycle , had reverse steering , like you wouldn't be able to ride it you have to make yourself think opposite .

Speaker 5

Yes , let's turn right . It's really hard it's very hard to do , especially if you gotta do it fast yeah you know , yeah , I've been there , done that , trust me , I've been there oh yeah , it's just Do it .

Speaker 1

Long enough , you're going to eventually do it .

Speaker 2

So if you've never done it . You haven't done very many of them .

Speaker 5

No , that's right , that's right . So we've got hunt season coming up . We've got bow season coming up . Do you sell bows yet ?

Speaker 2

No , I do not sell bows . There's not really any territory open and with man I you just you've got to have a full-time bow guy set up . I I'm , especially during hunting season I'm all time working on guns . You know , I don't do no gunsmithing and stuff , just some light stuff , but all time working on guns , all time trying to get people's boats fixed and get them back on the water and I just I'm not gonna fool with it , you know you'd almost have to have a whole nother section .

Speaker 1

Yeah , just for that . Year round is about yeah .

Speaker 2

Bows are so cool , you gotta have . I mean , I love bow hunting , but I just don't have the time and I don't know anybody that I could trust to bring in to do it .

Speaker 1

You know what I'm saying yeah , Cause a lot of people they go to the bow shop .

Speaker 2

I mean , there's some really good bow shops around there is .

Speaker 1

There's some really good guys , yeah there is yeah , I can see that I'm ready for it , though I'm ready for that cool weather , I'm ready to hunt anything .

Speaker 5

So the first season coming up is muzzler season .

Speaker 1

After yeah , bow .

Speaker 5

And they pass a new law where you can use , a straight New law where you can use a straight Straight wall . Straight wall . So tell us about them . What's your most popular gun you sell .

Speaker 2

There's by far a .350 Legend , .350 Legend . I can see that .

Speaker 4

Yep .

Speaker 2

By far . Yep , low recoil , pretty good killing power , decent range .

Speaker 1

What's the ?

Speaker 2

range man . I mean you can shoot them 200 . There's people that can shoot them further than that .

Speaker 5

Is that ?

Speaker 2

what we got , ashley . I think so , I think so , yeah , I think so . 350 is definitely .

Speaker 5

Oh , yeah , I did I shot it last year and it was yeah , you're right , it was pretty cool .

Speaker 1

No recoil yeah , we got 45-70 , because it's the greatest caliber ever invented it's , it's , it's cool , like it's just cool to have yeah , but man it kicks so bad , oh my god I just love it , but I've been that was my , always my favorite . Yeah , but you weigh 350 pounds well shut up he's like he's a little petite princess over here I .

Speaker 5

I weigh 214 . You weigh 350 . I don't weigh 350 . How much do you weigh you ?

Speaker 2

weigh 214 . Yeah , I don't know , 280 , 290 . Good for you , dude , really .

Speaker 5

You carry your weight really nicely .

Speaker 1

You're what ? Six foot two , six one , six one . I'm five foot five . You're five foot four and a half .

Speaker 2

So four and a half . So bmi , this body mass index , he has a better figure , he's sitting on two phone books over there .

Speaker 5

I mean I . That's not true . I got a special seat to hide the reactions yeah no but I mean obviously you got a big body , so okay .

Speaker 4

Okay , a .45-70 . I'm just saying , I mean the .45-70 , like he can shoot it a lot more than I can .

Speaker 1

Yeah , but he's taller , so the leverage of the power of the gun is probably more than your low central gravity .

Speaker 5

What am I supposed to say ? This is real back and forth , big frame .

Speaker 4

Yeah .

Speaker 3

Big body . It's like a pause in the big body .

Speaker 5

So what's after muzzleloading ? I'm just saying he can handle the .45-70 . Because he's got a nice body on him .350 was definitely the best seller by far .

Speaker 4

Really .

Speaker 2

Yeah , guys like me , girly men Small women .

Speaker 5

I'm not going to lie .

Speaker 3

I don't like guns that kick either .

Speaker 5

Will's always shot a .45-70 . Oh yeah , oh yeah .

Speaker 2

I love them . I've got a problem with lever action rifles and .45-70 and .30-30 .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I love them . They're cool man , If you've ever just ripped on a lever action gun ever once in your life .

Speaker 2

They do run good . I love 1860 you just got 2172 .

Speaker 5

I mean , there is some that are hard to find .

Speaker 5

Well , a lot of people think like building boats , running boats every day is fun . But really , like people come to the boat ramps , oh , you got the best job ever . You get to go to the lake every day . I'm like dude , if you see me at the boat ramp , something's wrong .

Speaker 3

Yeah , I got work on this boat it needs carrying cross ties .

Speaker 5

Oh it does . I've done that with you Will .

Speaker 2

That sucks .

Speaker 5

I know , I know you stuck me with a big deal .

Speaker 2

Man , I'll get running around kicking stuff in the shop , mad thinking what the heck am I doing . And then I got to just kind of put myself in place like dude I could be carrying a cross tie . Dude , you're getting to play with boats and guns for a while I know , I know you take everything I know asphalt on the highway .

Speaker 1

It could always be we'd be roofing houses in the middle of summer .

Speaker 5

I did carry cross ties , though in pennsylvania I poured asphalt one summer that was tough .

Speaker 3

I bet that sucked . That's when I decided college was for me . I got him over this .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I was like , yeah , this sucks daryl's like I gotta find a way to hunt and fish for a living . What's the first step ?

Speaker 3

become a nurse working the air condition first so I can plan it out .

Speaker 1

No , it definitely . It's like uh , you know , yeah , we have to go out and work on stuff all the time , go here there , but I mean there's way worse things that I can imagine us doing .

Speaker 5

Oh yeah , sometimes you just got to sit down and say , you know , it's not this bad yeah .

Speaker 2

You got to put yourself in place .

Speaker 5

Yeah , you do Get to feeling sorry for yourself yeah it sucks Gosh dude , you know , I've been in the lake five times , you know it sucks . Where's this shit going to end ?

Speaker 2

Go home .

Speaker 5

Go home , drink your sleep .

Speaker 1

Yeah , poor me . Yeah . Then your wife says you're so stupid . Yeah , I know is that ?

Speaker 5

wake up , go back to the lake in the morning . Everybody else that's gonna work like . No wait , you're right .

Speaker 1

All right , I'll deal with it all right , it can't be that bad .

Speaker 2

I mean the worst part for me when I get to feeling sorry for myself is always during hunting season . Why is that ? Because I just I don't , I don't get to go like I want to , oh okay , because . I got to keep you know I'm at the store .

Speaker 5

I can see that Keeping everybody else going .

Speaker 2

Yeah , so you just mope around shop and Bob Brook will come out and throw something at me and she's like you can quit feeling sorry for yourself . We won't go hunting .

Speaker 5

We shouldn't open the hunting store .

Speaker 1

Yeah , you did it yourself .

Speaker 5

What did you ?

Speaker 1

expect .

Speaker 3

I bet when season's open , it's probably the best time to be open . That's when people start realizing they need new stuff , like me personally .

Speaker 1

that's when I realized I buy more hunting stuff in hunting season than before Because these two will show up with something new , and I just got to feel like I got to have it too .

Speaker 5

I don't even need it .

Speaker 3

I don't even need half that stuff .

Speaker 5

I'm justifying it for something real .

Speaker 2

It's gotten so bad that if I catch wind , all this stuff is for us and it ain't for ducks or deer or whatever it's for us .

Speaker 1

I know I'm like all right . Why does he want it ? What is it even ?

Speaker 5

Just like the pistol . Yeah , I was about to say , and I'm like I might win it 30 minutes ago , just like the pistol . He's like where's mine ? I was like what the ?

Speaker 1

Well , I feel like we're in a constant battle .

Speaker 2

You can't say nothing . When B Scott got that all-weather at the shop , you're like this is bad Will .

Speaker 5

Can you get another one ?

Speaker 2

No , Okay , well , don't sell him that one .

Speaker 1

I want it . I was already driving up there like yeah he went up there and got it .

Speaker 5

I didn't even know it . It's like a special op . Yeah , I was like what the hell is going on here ?

Speaker 1

Well , I think everybody's just competing .

Speaker 5

I'm like I've known Will real lot longer than you have Put your time in and you know it's not just us that do that .

Speaker 1

You know you get a guy in your group that's got something that's sick and you're just like God . I want that . So bad .

Speaker 5

I think that's what feeds the marine industry and it just keeps . I mean you know just , they sell me all the names and stuff half the time . Yeah , I guess that's what I enjoy . Their havoc , too , is like we do have an opportunity to build something new . Yeah , because when you get , something new .

Speaker 3

You get it for like a day or two and it's like , oh , super cool , and you just throw it in your truck and like , yeah , what's next ?

Speaker 1

yeah , it's more than likely not an essential tool to doing the job .

Speaker 5

You know what I mean yeah , like , actually , like , like she could pick up on this , like I'd be walking around the house or especially weekend , where it's hot and you just can't do nothing . That's my worst time of the year , because I'm usually fishing or hunting or doing something productive and I'm like I get depressed . She's like you're going to go buy something . Get you out of this , this rut for a week or two .

Speaker 1

Go pick up a weekend hobby .

Speaker 5

Go buy something , go buy a gun , go do something , go spend something , do something this guy was the same way Whenever he was batting really shitty , you know , for like three games straight we'd just go buy a new bat no shit . No home run no shit .

Speaker 1

Not that it wouldn't be like three games yes it would . He'd get in a slump .

Speaker 5

Yeah , he would like strike out , strike out , strike out , strike out . We're like fuck , let's go , let's get a bat . We'd go buy a bat , bring it back . Here's a new bat .

Speaker 1

That might have happened twice . You know what I'm saying . Like the way you word , you know that seemed like we'd get new bats every other week . You know what I mean we had to . That's where he's standing .

Speaker 3

He's stuck . I don't know , I don't

Speaker 1

know , I don't know , I don't know what he's saying here .

Speaker 5

No , I'm just kidding . I'm just kidding . I don't know his angle here .

Speaker 3

No .

Speaker 1

I mean , I can't figure out what point he's making .

Speaker 4

That sounds like some horrible slurs .

Speaker 2

No , I mean , I'm yeah , yeah .

Speaker 3

We're not corporate here . Get in the golf cart , stand around and put in the green . I've never played before you get a drink .

Speaker 2

Everybody's telling me , oh , this is going to be a nightmare . And I'm like freaking . Not , I mean , it's golf , this is easy . I mean , I've always been able to hit a baseball . I can surely I can hit this white ball standing still yeah , it's easy . So they're like yeah , you're gonna suck .

Speaker 2

I'm like whatever and so I bought some golf shoes , went and borrowed some clubs from my cousin and then , after listening to everybody tell me how bad I suck , I'm like I'm gonna suck . All right , I'll go out in the backyard and hit a few golf balls , you know , into the woods like 30 yards . I get the club out , whichever one it was , and I hit a few and I'm like this is easy . Of course , you know , like , say , I'm hitting it 30 yards before it hits the trees . So I don't , you know it can't see what it does after that , yeah it does after that and I walk back in and brooke's like how was that ?

Speaker 2

And I was like no , it's fine , it's easy . I was like I got golf club , I got tar all over me . Club tar all over me , she's like what . And I

Gear Recommendations and Final Thoughts

Speaker 1

I was horrible , Did you hook them ?

Speaker 2

real bad yeah but it ended up being a good thing because it was kind of the funny joke . I don't know .

Speaker 1

Yeah , you're that guy . Everybody's like oh , you could be doing worse , at least you're not Will . Yeah , that's my role , and I get mad too . What did you ?

Speaker 5

do , though , when everybody's watching you swing the golf club and you just suck so bad . Were you nervous ?

Speaker 2

I mean , I knew I was going to . After the very first hole I was like , well , I suck at this , so I might as well just keep sucking .

Speaker 3

He's like where's the cart girl ? That's the good thing , though , about being the worst player .

Speaker 1

When you're the worst player , you don't have a pressure .

Speaker 4

There's no expectations .

Speaker 1

No dude . So when you accidentally do a good job , you're like y'all see that shit .

Speaker 2

I got a hold of one and they're like oh man .

Speaker 3

It's like the kid that comes off the bench in a sport it doesn't matter . Everybody else can be having the best game of their life .

Speaker 1

That's who they want to cheer for . That's it , Both teams being the worst player .

Speaker 5

That's the worst thing Everybody laughed at me when I played with y'all .

Speaker 3

No but the first one I'm going to shoot you straight . You're kind of no no , the first hole he hit . That 120-yard shot no , those were great shots . That was dialed in .

Speaker 4

For sure .

Speaker 1

No , he started off hot .

Speaker 4

You played two rounds of golf in your life . Yeah , I mean . Well , I played a little more than that . Well , don't say that .

Speaker 1

Yes , yeah , you could have totally got away with that right there . Nobody knows that .

Speaker 3

I just suck at it . Well , I mean , you gotta do something , you gotta practice .

Speaker 5

You have to be flexible .

Speaker 3

Your form is a little it's like the old men are sometimes the best golfers .

Speaker 4

Really , because they're not too flexible . Yeah , you don't do too much . Athleticism can take over To hit it a long ways . You gotta be flexible .

Speaker 5

I'm completely wrong about it , but you don't want to get but hitting .

Speaker 3

But he's got a computer a long ways .

Speaker 2

I bet you , I am the only person here that's ever made it into Golf Digest .

Speaker 4

What is that ? How'd you do that ?

Speaker 3

How'd you do that ? It's the big magazine for golf , like Field and Stream for punting .

Speaker 2

Oh really , I had one of my big frack pumps that we used to use in the oil field and somebody up in Russellville knew I had it . It was just a leftover pump and so I sold it to John Daly . Oh , and we go up there and we're setting it up . And we're setting it up and over the little pond there I noticed there's a cotton mouth in the tree . Ain't nobody around , I'm fitting to shoot it .

Speaker 2

And about that time , pull up , shoot , miss . Falls down in the water . I got 22 of them shooting it and there's like three of us out there and here comes John Daly with another guy in a cart and he's like what are you doing ? I was like I was water moccasin' in your pond . I killed him . Oh cool , kill them all . You know . Well , the other guy that was with him was a writer for Golf Digest and he was writing a story about him going into like the senior tour or whatever . And then another buddy of mine that reads that I don't know anything more boring than golf is reading about golf Sends me a picture of this article . They're like yeah , I pulled up on his course and there's a guy shooting snakes out of the tree .
