| 0:00.0 | As a guide and hunter, I've spent thousands of days in the field. This show is about translating |
| 0:13.1 | my hard-won experiences into tips and tactics that will get you closer to your ultimate |
| 0:18.3 | goal, success in the field. I'm Remi Warren. This is Cutting the Distance. |
| 0:27.0 | What's up everybody? Welcome back to the podcast. I hope you're enjoying this series that |
| 0:31.5 | we have becoming a bow hunter. This is becoming a bow hunter 102. Last week we talked about |
| 0:37.7 | gear getting set up. This week we're going to be kicking it up a notch in the knowledge |
