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.

Meet Will Fagan of Ricochet Outdoors
Speaker 1It's 5 o'clock and you're off the clock with B Scott. Today we have as our guest Will Fagan from Ricochet Outdoors there in Conway. He's a dealer of ours. He also sells guns and ammo, camouflage, deer feed, all kinds of stuff outdoor store and we're going to talk about getting ready for hunting. Okay, it's coming, it's August and we're itching to get out there. So we're going to have a good time. We're going gonna sit and chat about guns, camo feed, all kinds of stuff, just to get ready for it. And guys, you're not gonna miss it. Make sure you check out our gear shop and leave a like, subscribe, hit the bell notification.
Speaker 2Let's get right into it what are you doing with it?
Speaker 3I tried to call you back the other day I know, well, you got time now I was, it just started getting crazy.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 3It'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 1it this year. That's the plan. I always ask you, dude.
Speaker 5That's a nice rifle.
Speaker 3Yeah, Is that it I mean that's one.
Speaker 2The Hawkeye, that's the one you got in it?
Speaker 3It's like brown? I think no, that's it.
Speaker 1I don't remember it looking like that.
Speaker 5I 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 1What 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 5Listen. How would I even know? Didn't I say it was a painted or some kind of weird stock?
Speaker 1yeah, 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 5This is the gun that I got from Will.
Speaker 1It 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 3That might be the gun that you're manifesting.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3Now, that might be the case.
Speaker 2Yes, it is. He told me the other day.
Speaker 3He's not spitting on me now.
Speaker 5All right, that's a valid point.
Speaker 1Yeah, 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 2oh, 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 1That don't make it right, that's so funny, there's just so much going on, you know.
Speaker 5Oh it is. Do we need a note too?
Speaker 1I just gave him one, because he's probably not as used to looking up to the board like you guys are.
Speaker 2Am I supposed to be looking at something. There is nothing on the board we need to look at the board too.
Speaker 1You got Magnum PI up there.
Speaker 5You gave him a list and we don't have a list.
Speaker 3Have you shot one of those new?
Speaker 2AI guns yet no, I have not shot one.
Speaker 1Explain that. What does the AI actually stand for? Is it not?
Speaker 3It stands for something. So what's the sheep are?
Speaker 2you 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 1what's the process behind that like why?
Speaker 5so the benelli shoots how does ai make the gun further?
Speaker 2that'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 3How 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 5So, Jake, what is AI?
Speaker 3then, the AI with the gun.
Speaker 4Yeah, I don't know. But I know it's not artificial intelligence. Okay, I thought it was. That's my misconception too.
Speaker 1That's why I kept beating Darrell up. I'm like, but what does that even mean? What does AI stand for?
Speaker 3I'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 1What would Elon have to do with it?
Speaker 3You have a bunch in the shop. Will yeah, Tim wants my exact gun. What the yeah? I want that.
Speaker 5I mean, I want a panda, though they just got the AI version of it. Oh God, I got to have that.
Speaker 3I know, I just ordered one yesterday, don't worry.
Speaker 5I got to have the AI.
Speaker 3I got to see the difference.
Speaker 2Yeah, it is crazy. I really want to know what the difference AI is that.
Speaker 3I like that. What is that? What are we looking at? It's 308.
Speaker 2It's 308. I'm down. Which one do you like the best out of the ones I showed you?
Speaker 1What it's for.
Speaker 2Haley right.
Speaker 5Can I see the?
Speaker 1pictures. So I mean it needs to be smaller. It needs to be a smaller more controlled.
Speaker 5What are they looking at over there? Oh, okay, it's fine.
Speaker 2Okay, what is it?
Speaker 1Hold up the camera so everybody can see. It's a pretty picture.
Speaker 2It's a pretty picture.
Speaker 3Well, Shockley knew Colt.
Speaker 2Shockley did yeah.
Speaker 5It's a pretty picture.
Speaker 4Make sure to bring my damn gun back.
Speaker 2What gun is he taking? He's taking my Benelli. Oh yeah you better.
Speaker 1I 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 2I 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 1I've seen it in your back seat. By the way, Can I get that new shotgun? The shotgun Daryl has.
Speaker 3Yeah, I think so. That's his shotgun. He wants a Super Sport Performance Series no.
Speaker 2I don't have an Ethos.
Speaker 5You can't get them.
Speaker 2Yeah, 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 5I'd have to look. You can't get a left-handed model, darrell, can I get one?
Speaker 2No 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 5Let'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 4Yeah, just be, born right-handed.
Speaker 5When you're left-handed it's all.
Speaker 3You'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 1I 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 5Yeah, I can't believe y'all are fall face yet it has to be marketing schemes.
Speaker 3It'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 2You got to come out with something new every now and then, really.
Speaker 3I mean, at least call it. They did test it.
Speaker 5They put them in the video where they shot through the little phone things.
Speaker 3What is?
Speaker 2the 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 3I guess I don't know what that is what is that?
Speaker 2it'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 5That's what it is Before the choke, really. So they just squeeze the shot together.
Speaker 4You can sit in any gun and get it done yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 4It's crazy.
Speaker 1You'd think they would sell it like that they do.
Speaker 3It'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 5They are yeah so.
Speaker 1So it's basically internal choke no, you crossed the line there yeah, well, I mean right.
Speaker 5So you got two chokes now, so just one but kind of holds your pellets together denser.
Speaker 2That way you can control it better with a tube.
Speaker 1It's like a difference between a sports brawl and a regular wire brawl.
Speaker 5So 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 1You know all right let's go the way he was describing it.
Speaker 4I was like who's gonna get there eventually?
Speaker 5we 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 4That'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 5The barrel's 28 inches, right 26,. The final joke, that's right. That's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 5Yeah, it only comes in right hand.
Speaker 3Yeah, that gun.
Speaker 1That gun is sick, though dude so light.
Speaker 5So the AI part is just pretty much getting the shit together right out of the shot.
Speaker 3You can get a Cordoba, which is pretty much the same gun, just not doesn't have any carbon fiber.
Speaker 5Oh carbon fiber is.
Speaker 2It'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 5It was a carbon fiber rib.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's just a rib.
Speaker 5Oh, I got you All right. We don't need that. Can we get a left-handed?
Advanced Impact: Decoding Shotgun Technology
Speaker 1He's quick. 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 2one.
Speaker 5I was wrong, I mean whatever.
Speaker 3I love my gun yeah. I.
Speaker 1I will say Darryl's 20 gauge man, you can swing that thing around.
Speaker 5That'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 1I 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 3Because it's like you had to actually focus. It wasn't like just a yeah.
Speaker 5So can we get that gun left-handed?
Speaker 3The 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 2Yeah, well, yeah.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 3Then the one I got is like 32. 33.
Speaker 5We'll make sure it's 33. Carbon fiber it's his.
Speaker 2It's a performance series. Is it the carbon fiber stock?
Speaker 3Yeah, I got the ethos one with the carbon fiber spot the red buttons and stuff on it the performance series.
Speaker 4It's slick I ain't gonna lie it.
Speaker 3The one I got has like forcing cones. It's like it goes to Rob Roberts before you ever get it.
Speaker 5Really.
Speaker 2Yeah, it is nice, you can take a Super Black Eagle and send it up there and get all that stuff done.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 2They pick up guns at my shop all the time.
Speaker 5Well, 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 3yeah, okay, I think she had new benelli and get it done a new benelli yeah, yours is a one.
Speaker 2What yours is a one, ain't it?
Speaker 3I 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 2Oh, it's a one. Yeah, wow, wow, that's a lefty.
Speaker 5Why would you want to ask that? Huh, no, for the right guy.
Speaker 3man, Wait a minute.
Speaker 5Wait a minute, what the fuck? I'm out, I'm out.
Speaker 2There's too much shit going on. That's just because I feel sorry for you.
Speaker 5Is it really worth something?
Speaker 2Those ones are sought after.
Speaker 4The 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 1Dude, Let me get that.
Speaker 2Left-handed one too. Yeah, that's exclusive Nothing. The Tim Scott edition you should have said anything about it, you want?
Speaker 3to sell that gun. You got like a thousand of them anyway. Why do you want to?
Speaker 1buy a left-handed.
Speaker 5I knew something was fishy. I knew something was fishy. You'll give me $250 for it.
Speaker 1Wait a minute, something's fishy Good deal.
Speaker 4So what'd they do from the one to the three?
Speaker 2They made a few changes to them, stocks and something A little bit internal. Okay.
Speaker 3The 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 5What? 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 4Every guy can do that.
Speaker 1That'd be the easiest way to do it.
Speaker 5I got you, I got you that's worth 800, easy, just the fourth show.
Speaker 1I mean, how serious are you about it?
Speaker 4you know, how bad do you want it?
Speaker 1That's right.
Speaker 3That's right, they're all good guns Now they're all good.
Speaker 2I 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 3They released but they hadn't shipped them. They're still building. You should probably have them by the end of September.
Speaker 4They're making a 24-7?.
Speaker 2I ordered some just for you. You sucker.
Speaker 4What are those going to look like?
Speaker 3So 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 4Yeah, oh, never mind, then I thought you were talking about that. Benelli was making it 24-7.
Speaker 1At first, that's what I was thinking.
Speaker 4Well, now I look like the idiot, so it's okay.
Speaker 1Well, 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 3He was wondering too.
Speaker 1I was like okay, tim still thinks about his gun. You know what?
Speaker 5I mean.
Speaker 3Are 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 1Do I need?
Speaker 2to get one, or do I need to get four done?
Speaker 4uh, 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 5That's what I feel like when I go to the bait store, but by these baits I catch more fish.
Speaker 4I will say give me every time you're gonna do this.
Speaker 3I 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 1he 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 5The road to the pro looks good.
Speaker 1It did yeah.
Speaker 5I 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 1I looked okay. I felt like I did good for the fact that I couldn't catch any fish.
Speaker 3I had a lot of different stuff going on in my video in my part.
Speaker 5Yeah, I mean, yours looked good.
Speaker 4Well, we got to get you some drip.
Speaker 1You know what that?
Speaker 5is now, so next season, yeah, don't be capping on me, man.
Speaker 4I'm not capping dude. Okay, road to pro style.
Speaker 1It'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 2no, I'm not ready.
Speaker 5You got your story ready, you gotta all come deer hunting stuff.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, we're getting stuff in every day.
Speaker 1Yeah, 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 2It 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 5not 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 2You're talking about the one with the lower frame. It's way more cruiser. Yeah, Crusader 3.0.
Speaker 53.0. Yeah, way better, crusader 3.0.
Speaker 33.0.
Speaker 2Yeah way better.
Speaker 3That's 100 times better.
Speaker 5Yes, 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 1I was about to say you got that a while ago.
Speaker 5I finally drove it, you know, because we was cleaning out the garage so I had to move it. I drove it around.
Speaker 1Of course this guy would push it nowhere.
Speaker 5No.
Speaker 2That's too much it's got a motor, there's no sense in pushing it.
Speaker 5Why would I push another motor? It's not like it's a regular bicycle.
Speaker 1You probably drove it from one side to the other side of the garage.
Speaker 5No, 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 1Yeah, that's the problem with the big one. That's a really big one, was it Megatron?
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Dude, that thing's hard to get on.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1Especially if you're on unlevel ground, like you're on the low side. No way you're getting on it.
Speaker 5Which one did you use?
Speaker 1Megatron, the big one.
Speaker 5You used the big one. That was tough, wasn't it?
Speaker 1No, it wasn't too bad, he's taller. Yeah, you know he's a little taller.
Speaker 3The 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 2I couldn't get to go to level one.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, that's a handful, but it does fit in the backseat of the F-150. What?
Speaker 2do I? I rode the F-150. Because?
Speaker 3I 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 2I 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 3See, 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 5You're talking about like New Mexico.
Speaker 1No, 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 2Yeah, 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 1Oh, you roll up on them all the time. How many of those bikes do?
Speaker 5you sell a year. You sell a lot of them.
Speaker 2I probably sell 20, 25.
Speaker 5I don't think a lot of people understand how convenient they are.
Speaker 1They're nice dude.
Speaker 4Well see, I don't know where I can use them, and I can't in Arkansas.
E-Bikes for Hunting: The Game Changer
Speaker 2It's free country, trump's president.
Speaker 4We'll see.
Speaker 5You know, the AGFC.
Speaker 3they got their shit going you can take them anywhere. Just like on WMA, you just go level one.
Speaker 5Yeah, and you can change the setting right there in the screen.
Speaker 4See, but I don't want to get in the situation that you were in and not be able to do that?
Speaker 3Well, you just have to get the one that can change to level one.
Speaker 1I mean you got to get the bike for your purpose.
Speaker 4Just go to yeah, get the one that you need.
Speaker 2Well, 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 5The Crusader, no doubt that new one.
Speaker 2That 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 5No, it's the nicest bike. Yeah, we have what? Three or four of them.
Speaker 2It 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 5Yeah, yeah, for sure, it's the nicest bike.
Speaker 2I told.
Speaker 3Ashley, I was like we got to get more of these.
Speaker 1Is it new in the Crusader?
Speaker 5Yeah, it's a 3.0.
Speaker 1On 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 5It'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 2Oh 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 5to me.
Speaker 1I'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 5No, no for sure. I mean, that's the bike to have right there.
Speaker 1Yeah, 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 2Mm-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 3Squirrel 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 1That's a good idea. I don't think I've ever seen anybody squirrel hunting with one. They haven't.
Speaker 3Coon hunting or anything.
Speaker 5Especially a new one, because it's so small, it's not like the big ones.
Speaker 2You 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 5Really, really, it's freaking nice yeah.
Speaker 2What's it called? It's like Evafoam. I don't remember what it's called.
Speaker 1So you poke your tires, thorns and stuff, mm-hmm.
Speaker 3Yeah, that would suck.
Speaker 1Oh yeah.
Speaker 3Be out there coon hunting at 2 in the morning.
Speaker 1And you're way further than you ever would have been. Yeah, because you're way further than you ever would have been. Yeah.
Speaker 4You know be like a two-hour walk back to the trail.
Speaker 5Well, how's?
Speaker 2bow sales. Good well, how's both? How's?
Speaker 5both 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 1Yeah, 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 2That'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 5Well, you sell so many different things. You sell clothes, guns, bikes. Yeah, I'm just talking about just boat sales.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's just always pretty steady yeah.
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 2Somebody'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 1Mm-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 2Yeah 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 5What's your best seller?
Speaker 2653 vj.
Speaker 4I'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 2Really, 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 1Yeah 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 2You'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 5I 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 2there'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 5Why do we have so many options, Jake?
Speaker 4I think that's a different stroke for different folks, you don't?
Speaker 2have nearly the options you used to have.
Speaker 4You're too innovative, you know everybody comes to you with a problem and you build a boat for that problem.
Speaker 5Yeah, 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 4So 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 3It 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 2But it keeps us busy too.
Speaker 4It really does the 1760,.
Speaker 2I 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 5Yeah, just two. A lot of the't have to have the big eye bait.
Speaker 1They don't have to over trim and make the boat hop or whatever they don't want to run on the plug.
Speaker 4The 1760,.
Speaker 5When I first seen it, though, I thought it was going to be wider and shorter. Yeah.
Speaker 1No, 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 2And they're like it's in there.
Speaker 5We done called everybody. We're like hey, where is this VJ at?
Speaker 1They'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 2It had a gun box in it and everything. Why are we building it? Do you have gun boxes in there?
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 4Not anymore.
Speaker 1The one we built I'm talking about from the naked eye outside, looking in the boat.
Speaker 5We 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 1VJ for the.
Speaker 5VJ price and it looks the same.
Speaker 1Yeah, 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 5I 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 1That's what it was. I said that dog ain't hunting.
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 3That can't fly. No, where's the boat at now? Take the floor out.
Speaker 4There's two of them. Someone very lucky is going to get that boat.
Speaker 1The first one with a solid floor and a gum box. Lucky guy, yeah, lucky guy. He's getting a hell of a boat.
Speaker 5Well, I mean, it's a VJ. It looks like a DBSD.
Speaker 1Yeah, 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 4That's all it is the only difference is the ribs.
Speaker 3It 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 1We actually we're getting a lot of names. Yeah, the the podcast boat's been pretty good.
Speaker 5The podcast boat yeah like all the set-up boats from the internet Podcast boat.
Speaker 3Oh, you own a podcast boat. That's what they're calling them. It's trending on TikTok the podcast boat.
Speaker 2Yeah, podcast boat.
Speaker 1Something new every day.
Speaker 2You know what they say? What when you're at the top of the flagpole? They can't say nothing but your ass.
Speaker 5That's right, that's right, I ain't worried about it?
Speaker 2I ain't worried about it.
Speaker 5So what else you guys got going on at Conway?
Speaker 3You got some sick in that store yet, nope, no sick, still working on it.
Speaker 5We working on it though, aren't we? Yeah, we working on it, just the We'll get it Cl?
Speaker 2I don't know, I just hadn't done great with them.
Speaker 5Is it a volume deal? Like you might have a bigger selection?
Speaker 2I 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 5Never 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 2I 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 4Yeah.
Speaker 5I've never been able to make myself. That's really why I have so much clothes Sika clothes.
Speaker 4Because you ordered it all online. You ordered it all online, yeah.
Speaker 1There'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 5Well, 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 4Yeah, I mean there's a Sitka store in your house.
Speaker 5Yeah, I got way more. It's pretty cool. I got way more.
Speaker 2I've always done a lot better with like accessories.
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 2And you know bags and Decoys, yeah, decoys, and you know whatever.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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.
Boat Talk: Models and Market Trends
Speaker 2We started doing some more of that stuff, some more dog stuff.
Speaker 1It'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 5You know I call those stuff, hey, y'all got to ship drain plugs.
Speaker 1We'll send them like 50 drain plugs.
Speaker 5Hey, y'all shoot me a load of buzz and I get no drain plugs.
Speaker 3You can sell some drain plugs at boat ramps. Oh yeah, dude, there's a couple times I've been in someone.
Speaker 1Imagine you just had like a little drain plug machine at every boat ramp $20?
Speaker 2Yeah, a shotgun shell and electrical tape will work. Yes, it will work. It will work.
Speaker 5Get 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 3I can't count All the time. We were scrambling through trucks trying to find one.
Speaker 1I watched Daryl. One time we went to the.
Speaker 2Tiller Ham race.
Speaker 1And 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 3I forgot about that.
Speaker 1I watched him do this.
Speaker 3I 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 5We're boat people, we're terrible.
Speaker 3I'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 1I get it, dude, I get it.
Speaker 2I 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 5No, drain plug no, I had drain plug.
Speaker 2Just had my steering hooked up backwards I've done that.
Speaker 1Hey, that's hard to load back up with the trailer yeah, he is a dealer, yeah I don't double check my stuff.
Speaker 2That makes too much sense. I do this every day.
Speaker 4I don't need to double check my stuff. That makes too much sense.
Speaker 2Yeah, 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 5Yeah, Until you get out there, yeah, hey driven a console boat backwards with reverse steering.
Speaker 1Dude, 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 5Yes, 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 1Long enough, you're going to eventually do it.
Speaker 2So if you've never done it. You haven't done very many of them.
Speaker 5No, 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 2No, 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 1Yeah, just for that. Year round is about yeah.
Speaker 2Bows 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 1You know what I'm saying yeah, Cause a lot of people they go to the bow shop.
Speaker 2I mean, there's some really good bow shops around there is.
Speaker 1There'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 5So the first season coming up is muzzler season.
Speaker 1After yeah, bow.
Speaker 5And 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 2There's by far a .350 Legend, .350 Legend. I can see that.
Speaker 4Yep.
Speaker 2By far. Yep, low recoil, pretty good killing power, decent range.
Speaker 1What's the?
Speaker 2range man. I mean you can shoot them 200. There's people that can shoot them further than that.
Speaker 5Is that?
Speaker 2what we got, ashley. I think so, I think so, yeah, I think so. 350 is definitely.
Speaker 5Oh, yeah, I did I shot it last year and it was yeah, you're right, it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1No 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 5I weigh 214. You weigh 350. I don't weigh 350. How much do you weigh you?
Speaker 2weigh 214. Yeah, I don't know, 280, 290. Good for you, dude, really.
Speaker 5You carry your weight really nicely.
Speaker 1You're what? Six foot two, six one, six one. I'm five foot five. You're five foot four and a half.
Speaker 2So 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 5I 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 4Okay, a .45-70. I'm just saying, I mean the .45-70, like he can shoot it a lot more than I can.
Speaker 1Yeah, but he's taller, so the leverage of the power of the gun is probably more than your low central gravity.
Speaker 5What am I supposed to say? This is real back and forth, big frame.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 3Big body. It's like a pause in the big body.
Speaker 5So 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 4Really.
Speaker 2Yeah, guys like me, girly men Small women.
Speaker 5I'm not going to lie.
Speaker 3I don't like guns that kick either.
Speaker 5Will's always shot a .45-70. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2I love them. I've got a problem with lever action rifles and .45-70 and .30-30.
Speaker 1Yeah, I love them. They're cool man, If you've ever just ripped on a lever action gun ever once in your life.
Speaker 5Did you imagine Will Fagan as a cowboy? Back in the day like early 1900s.
Speaker 2Big ass horse. I was about to say.
Speaker 1What was?
Speaker 5Clydesdale White horse. Yeah, big people make big targets.
Speaker 3That is true. Yeah, see, I think you like big people.
Speaker 5No, I'm just saying.
Speaker 1I'll just stay obvious. You're saying you would not recommend him for a 1550.
Speaker 5VJ. No, it'd run like this that way. No 1860, 1860, 1860s run good.
Speaker 2They do run good. I love 1860 you just got 2172.
Speaker 5I know I like it too, cause it's big. You know why? Cause when you get in it, you feel like you got a lot of space, because you're big.
Speaker 1We'll say it ain't as big as it seems.
Speaker 4Yes, that we're making it.
Speaker 1That Dad's making it.
Speaker 4No, he's pretty big, he's a big guy.

Speaker 5Y'all didn't know that Y'all didn't know Will was a bomb buster.
Speaker 4I knew that he never, came up.
Speaker 1I can see if I had to guess when I first found out, I was thinking more along the lines of Dog the Bounty Hunter.
Speaker 2You know what I'm talking about. Oh, my gosh yeah.
Speaker 1Was that kind of how you rolled up? No? No, oh my gosh. Yeah, was that kind of how you rolled up? No?
Speaker 2No, hey, that was all BS aside, it was a pretty good business. It is a good business because everybody skips court Until no, you don't want them to do that, yeah, Until that show came out, really yes.
Speaker 1Really. Why is that?
Speaker 2Then what happened then? Well, I mean, it was everybody and their grandma was started.
Speaker 1So you're saying it was lucrative for the people that were doing it before that show? Yes, then it got washed out, with everybody wanting to do it yeah just, you know, market get flooded, you know.
Speaker 2you go into one of these towns now and it's just bail bond office after bail bond office.
Speaker 5Yeah, there's a lot of them now. Yeah, so basically, basically you just go out and find people bring them back to court.
Deer Season Prep and Feed Options
Speaker 2No, I mean, you're bonding people out of jail yeah you know, putting up their bail form right guarantee, basically essentially guaranteeing they're gonna show up to court if they didn't show up.
Speaker 5You had to find them. You gotta go find them. That was pretty fun, wasn't it?
Speaker 2It was fun.
Speaker 3It was no.
Speaker 2I mean, there is some that are hard to find.
Speaker 5Well, 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 3Yeah, I got work on this boat it needs carrying cross ties.
Speaker 5Oh it does. I've done that with you Will.
Speaker 2That sucks.
Speaker 5I know, I know you stuck me with a big deal.
Speaker 2Man, 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 1It could always be we'd be roofing houses in the middle of summer.
Speaker 5I did carry cross ties, though in pennsylvania I poured asphalt one summer that was tough.
Speaker 3I bet that sucked. That's when I decided college was for me. I got him over this.
Speaker 1Yeah, 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 3become a nurse working the air condition first so I can plan it out.
Speaker 1No, 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 5Oh yeah, sometimes you just got to sit down and say, you know, it's not this bad yeah.
Speaker 2You got to put yourself in place.
Speaker 5Yeah, 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 2Go home.
Speaker 5Go home, drink your sleep.
Speaker 1Yeah, poor me. Yeah. Then your wife says you're so stupid. Yeah, I know is that?
Speaker 5wake up, go back to the lake in the morning. Everybody else that's gonna work like. No wait, you're right.
Speaker 1All right, I'll deal with it all right, it can't be that bad.
Speaker 2I 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 5I can see that Keeping everybody else going.
Speaker 2Yeah, 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 5We shouldn't open the hunting store.
Speaker 1Yeah, you did it yourself.
Speaker 5What did you?
Speaker 1expect.
Speaker 3I 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 1that'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 5I don't even need it.
Speaker 3I don't even need half that stuff.
Speaker 5I'm justifying it for something real.
Speaker 2It'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 1I know I'm like all right. Why does he want it? What is it even?
Speaker 5Just 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 1Well, I feel like we're in a constant battle.
Speaker 2You can't say nothing. When B Scott got that all-weather at the shop, you're like this is bad Will.
Speaker 5Can you get another one?
Speaker 2No, Okay, well, don't sell him that one.
Speaker 1I want it. I was already driving up there like yeah he went up there and got it.
Speaker 5I didn't even know it. It's like a special op. Yeah, I was like what the hell is going on here?
Speaker 1Well, I think everybody's just competing.
Speaker 5I'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 1You 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 5I 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 3You 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 1yeah, it's more than likely not an essential tool to doing the job.
Speaker 5You 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 1Go pick up a weekend hobby.
Speaker 5Go 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 1Not that it wouldn't be like three games yes it would. He'd get in a slump.
Speaker 5Yeah, 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 1That 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 3He's stuck. I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1know, I don't know, I don't know what he's saying here.
Speaker 5No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I don't know his angle here.
Speaker 3No.
Speaker 1I mean, I can't figure out what point he's making.
Speaker 4That sounds like some horrible slurs.
Speaker 2No, I mean, I'm yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5You did bat like a 500, though what did you have? Like a 500, or?
Speaker 3something, something like that, I don't remember. That's pretty good, huh, jake, that's a very good batting average 500?.

Speaker 1Golf is a great place that's a corporate kind of it is. You know it is. It's a corporate type deal. We don't really do?
Speaker 3We'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 2Everybody'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 2I'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?
Gear Recommendations and Final Thoughts
Speaker 2And 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 was like you know, like bat tar, Like it's on a baseball bat, she's like what Bad grips. Yeah, yeah, I just assumed it was normal. I was like hey, tar on it. But yeah so I went out that next week and played and I absolutely sucked Really.
Speaker 1I was horrible, Did you hook them?
Speaker 2real bad yeah but it ended up being a good thing because it was kind of the funny joke. I don't know.
Speaker 1Yeah, 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 5do, though, when everybody's watching you swing the golf club and you just suck so bad. Were you nervous?
Speaker 2I 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 3He's like where's the cart girl? That's the good thing, though, about being the worst player.
Speaker 1When you're the worst player, you don't have a pressure.
Speaker 4There's no expectations.
Speaker 1No dude. So when you accidentally do a good job, you're like y'all see that shit.
Speaker 2I got a hold of one and they're like oh man.
Speaker 3It'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 1That's who they want to cheer for. That's it, Both teams being the worst player.
Speaker 5That's the worst thing Everybody laughed at me when I played with y'all.
Speaker 3No 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 4For sure.
Speaker 1No, he started off hot.
Speaker 4You 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 1Yes, yeah, you could have totally got away with that right there. Nobody knows that.
Speaker 3I just suck at it. Well, I mean, you gotta do something, you gotta practice.
Speaker 5You have to be flexible.
Speaker 3Your form is a little it's like the old men are sometimes the best golfers.
Speaker 4Really, 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 5I'm completely wrong about it, but you don't want to get but hitting.
Speaker 3But he's got a computer a long ways.
Speaker 2I bet you, I am the only person here that's ever made it into Golf Digest.
Speaker 4What is that? How'd you do that?
Speaker 3How'd you do that? It's the big magazine for golf, like Field and Stream for punting.
Speaker 2Oh 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 2And 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.
