What is up, everybody? Mark on the mic here, Mr. Eric Barber, across from me. Eric, a lot of times in life, folks will say, follow your arrow. And that's exactly what we're going to do today. Literally, we're going to follow your arrow. You are a pretty hardcore bow hunter, as they say, meticulous about your equipment.

You put a lot of preseason prep in with your equipment, with shooting your equipment,

and getting it absolutely dialed so you are ready for hunting season, which, boy, when this podcast kicks out towards the tail end of August. We're right there. I mean, for us, it's pretty much go time. Yeah. For a lot of folks, actually, they've already. It's been go time. It's been go time. They've been going. Might be a little late for those guys, but who knows, maybe they'll wrap up there

the setup, what's going into the arrow physically, and then what you're doing to tune it and get it

ready for the hunt. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, you said very well prepared. Some might also call it

paranoid, which is why I spend all this time messing

with these things. It is a fine line, isn't it? It's one of those things, though, the last thing that you want is like to, you know, come to full draw. I mean, this year I've got an elk tag. The last thing that I want to do is come to full draw on an elk at 47 yards and be thinking in the back of my head.

Ooh, I haven't shot this arrow yet.

So that's what we're going to get

into today and kind of some of the paranoia of like my little like prep process and kind of why
