ElkShape x Tim Connor x MFJJ (ep 62) 

The three amigos makes me happy 🙌🏾

It's awesome to see you guys back together on the youtubes GOOD STUFF!!

I love Josh but every tac it’s either I din’t really set this bow up, my timings off, my eyes are going. 😂 All jokes aside another great pod!

I hope this was as healing for Timmy and Dan as it is for the rest of us RU-vid subs. The world is whole again❤

Outstanding gentlemen! It is great to see all three of you back in the open friendly forum again. I really enjoyed this fire side chat.

Was awesome adding Dan to a long form convo about archery with people he has rapport with. Great pod guys!

Long overdue guest. Tim certainly seemed nervous in the beginning but settled in nicely. Well done trifecta.

Been waiting for this one!

Its good to see you all back together. Keep up the great work.

Y’all need to come down to Oklahoma TAC. Miss all the guys at the shop.

They are supposed to open a bunch more TAC events next year. The founder was on a podcast recently and said they are going to have a lot more events next year.

Guys please come to VT next year we will see you in PA as well but I promise you a lot of us from the north east would love to see you in VT as well!!!

I love how Tim always pushes people to self reflect.

Fantastic episode as always guys. Thank you for being authentic and sharing that you’re not always automatic. It’s challenging and frustrating at times as well.

I have that same problem. Kind of Tim. I've been trying to work on that too but I don't think I just realized it until now. I've been aiming different ways in like trying to focus on my pin more, but I think you just help me put something into perspective. Thank you!

Im glad your finally coming to pa tac next year. If your gonna shoot with subscribers put me on the list.

Enjoyed the whole conversation great job guys.

Josh's shirt: 10/10

Let's go.....seven springs....super excited..

Edit the size 15s out 🤣🤣 great info !

See you guys next year in PA!!!

Great video ! Enjoyed all the content especially about the concerns about the Match strings. I've two sets on my Lift since February. Going back to Gas myself! Cheers boys!

I'm glad you guys mentioned the Match strings. I heard so many great things about the match strings before I got my Lift and I've been pretty disappointed in them. In the last couple months I've had to time my bow twice and adjust for peep twist twice. After TAC in Indiana I'll be going to a set of the VEC99 from Catfish.

About time!

Did Big Sky last year and South Dakota this year and we enjoyed SD much more, vender village right outside the lodge, then practice range only a few yards past the village, Deadwood was only a few minutes away lots of food and entertainment options, and SD is very affordable. We flew from Ca to Denver and drove 5 hrs up to the Black Hills.

Its nice that Tim is really getting settled into his Ron Jeremy stage of life 😂

I'm still listening. I'll go buy one here in the next couple weeks

Definitely hope Dan shows up again soon!

I seen these 3 faces and clicked faster then a hoyt shoots hahaha.

LFG BOYS!

I have a lift 33 and my match strings have peep rotation. I added two twist to the string and put s peep tuner in the string but there is still rotation.

Rumor is, Big Sky Tac is moving to Red Lodge next year

Cool discussion.

Just went on and bought myself a pack of 125s and a pack of 100 grain beast broadheads. Thank you guys for mentioning that. I've been wanting to try them and I wouldn't rather buy them from anybody but you had to use the pump station discount though

I tested 4/5/6mm arrows in a 35mph wind. 500gr 4mm w 225gr up front, 461gr 5mm, w 225gr up front, and 420gr 6mm with 115gr up front. The wind drift was 20" shooting from 45yrds on the 6mm. I'd love to see you test wind drift with different arrows/vane configurations

I have found that doing a proper bench press where you drop your shoulders and arch your back on the bench, that you can push more weight while focusing on the Peck muscle. What I have found is because I am contracting the scaps in and down hard, it helps me stabilize my bow arm better and helps with my string arm on the pull back.

Mfjj do some testing on a left helical with a right bevel broadhead vs them being in the correct orientation. How much lost of momentum after impact would you get, with the broadhead wanting to change the direction of arrow flight.

Agree 100 on those Match Strings I went through 2 sets in roughly 1500 shots switched to aftermarket(A3bloodline) all my issues are gone

Three great channels right there. I will say my Lift 33 strings stretched. I was really hoping they were better than the Zebra strings. I can't give the Match strings a high review. I will be purchasing GAS strings from now on. I love my Lift bow, but the strings are the weak link.

If you’re flying all the way to PA, consider VT the week before. It would be so easy to shoot on course content there. I heard more events for TAC next year

What strings come stock on the Darton consequence

Vapor trail strings are great I had one break like Josh said everyone has a bad one and they shipped me a brand new one and was there the next afternoon! I have a bowtech rpm 360 that punches strings and the set of vapor trails that’s on it has probably 5k to 6k shots through them! I wanna try gas but vapor trail has been so great and reliable and customer service unmatched it’s hard to steer away from them! If u haven’t gave them a try I promise they are great!

please have Dan on again. He is a wealth of knowledge just like Josh (the mad man with a bow) As always, awesomeeeeeeeeeee

Great podcast. So Bodie stated that he squeezed not pulled. Pull through the shot or squeeze???????

Money is way more tight right now than it was at the same time in 2023. My local shop, a pretty large one, says archery sales are down pretty sharp compared to last year. They are cutting back staff hours and running all sorts of social media events trying to drum up revenue. Yes, some folks still have money to spend on TAC at Big Sky, but a vast majority of blue collar archers are cutting back on costs for sure.

MFJJ. I bought a set of gas from you online. Had a hell of a time getting my ATA phase 4 33. They had to send me a new set after one year of shooting my bow.

Rangefinder trick… keep holding it down so it’s in scan mode so you can confirm what you’re trying to hit as it moves around rather than pressing several times to try to verify

Distance between targets I believe is on purpose to prevent back ups at targets.

Tim and Dan should be doing some collaborations on both their RU-vid channels

I would be interested to see MFJJ do a review on an xpedition xlite. I know that they had a booth at TAC Big Sky and they also come with ABB platinum series strings from the factory.

Now if my guess is and assumptions might be right and the bow disciples crew is there as well. Dude I'm going to be mind blown if I get to meet all of my number ones that's hard to put like another number on it because I look for a video from every one of yous every time I go on RU-vid. So I don't know. Maybe whenever I get to meet some people in person I'll be like I don't know. I kind of like him a little better. Pat, I'm curious if the bow disciple crew will be there?

The crew back together!? Let’s go !

Im wishing they had a realistic tac.. I don't want to be lobbing arrows at 115 yards.. I want an 80 and in.. shots you'd actually take

👏

Most of them Fords all the trainees get rebuilt between 75 and 125

I won’t rest until you all make one channel and have brought back Jake

Love how elkshape talked shit about Tim on a prior video yet here we are. So pro Tim C for being the bigger person

I'm stoked about this podcast between Tim and Dan. I hope that I don't know. It seems like they've never just come back together yet. Maybe this will put them together. Tim looks a little nervous right here in the beginning though. Anyways, I hope you guys have a good podcast. I know I'm going to have a great time listening to it. Thank you!

thoughts on catfish custom strings?

Josh, be careful getting LASIK or PRK. Sounds like you are having issues in low light. After I got PRK, my low light vision went to shit. Best.

MFJJ it may be more of the cornea health with your eyes/ dryness. I would try some eye drops to see if that helps at all.

Finally Dan on the pod let's go!

Y’all’s content was peak when you all were together. It’s time to move on and have one main channel that highlights you all as a group, then have all your other individual channels. Grow the main account and have 300k+ followers in a year then in return your individual channels will grow. Go get Jake wherever the heck he is, pay the man. Have Jake and Dan primarily doing the elk hunting, Tim and Josh hunting too and taking care of camp. You all need each other, each of you has a role and you all could be something special. Please have mercy on us all.

The match strings are garbage. They go out of time all the time. Glad to hear someone actually say it!

In PA for some reason at most of the boost nobody will sell you any merchandise. They'll ship it to you. You can't buy anything there. Dang near. I mean Lancaster will and a couple of the other shops but most of the product boosts they don't want to sell you anything. It's all for display and they'll ship it to you. I hope you would be selling stuff. Get your Joe's over trailer that you sell. The main things that you know go

80 lbs 80% lift. I just had to time my cams again

Elevation is not the thing that changes, its actually barometric pressure. You can be at a high elevation that is currently in a low pressure system and a low elevation location in a high pressure system and they could damn near be the same. Long range rifle shooters use baro because thats the relevant metric. Everyone is carrying a smart phone that will tell you the pressure where you are or the nearest weather station. Learn to document that and at what point does it start to effect your flight.

This was nice to see . Life's too short.

Anyone had problems with limbs cracking on Mathews Lift @ 80lbs?

“Do you like dags”?

Dude you guys just made me grab my phone like oh shit whenever you said PA Dan you said PA and I'm like oh my God and then mfjj said it. I'm like hoe. My dream is coming true. I can't wait. I hope you guys are going to be there. Are you going to be there on the first day? I usually shoot Thursday but I'm planning on trying to shoot like Thursday and Friday or maybe Friday and Saturday. I definitely want to see you guys. I hope you be there all weekend. If you make that trip maybe you'll get more information out way closer next year I'm sure. But that is awesome my men and Tim, if you're about to say yes to, I'm even more stoked but I hit comment button before you could get to that

MFJJ what year is your truck ?.

I don't understand why bow companies sell a bow for 1000 plus and then include the cheapest strings. Why can't they just upgrade them to better ones.

Only watching this because saw Dan was in it Tim lost me complaining about Dan.

🍿Tim and Dan were complete fire when they were together, I just wish they saw it and wanted it to work as much as everyone else…

I call bs this was all AI generated. everyone knows Tim and Dan got mad beef. Deepfake

Yall need to check out Unbound Archery bloodline strings. Cant beat em. 1 guy making them.

MFJJ always with the excuses.

This podcast interview reminded me on how much Dan just doesn’t “fit” in with Josh & Tim. Dan by himself 👍, but Dan with other people 👎.

This was awkward. Tim and Dan still obviously hate each other.
