Welcome to Knock-On Podcast where we bring you archery information and education that you can trust.

Knock-On was created as a way to bring all archers together regardless of the brand you choose or the style of archery you shoot.

Knock-On Podcasting will deliver professional insights to the latest gear, proper shooting technique along with high level equipment setup and tuning.

All right everyone it's time for another Knock-On Podcast. There's gonna be a lot of ice jingling and yetis for this one.

Next to me is my buddy Kyle. Kyle is a bass guitarist for a band called Vimic who jam extremely hard. You guys rocked last night dude.

Thanks man. That's definitely one thing we take pride in is our live performance.

It's so surreal actually once you start going backstage with people at events because it's hard to...

You start to lose the idea that certain things like that are business so obviously your business is performing music.

So when all you do is go to concerts and you see the performance you're thinking you're seeing this, you're almost seeing an actor like you're seeing a role.

And then you see people outside of that role and you know they're completely different.

I'm the same too with archery when I go and do like full wheat clinics like what we just did in Europe.

I'm so focused on just that performance and I'm like really into that mode that I kind of lose a little bit of my fun I feel like because I'm so focused on just like doing my work.

But then like with you guys seeing everyone so chill and relax in the bus beforehand everyone just like hey dude you know and talking about the food we're gonna eat later and all that stuff.

And then all of a sudden 40 minutes goes by and you guys come out of that bus I'll frickin' dress up.

And when the lights went on people started screaming dude. She better be there to rock because however calm you guys were before the storm once the storm hit it was game on there for about 45 minutes it was pretty hardcore.

Yeah and it's funny because the first band well right now we're out with motionless and white and in this moment on the half god half double tour which ends on August 5th in Lincoln Nebraska and then I fly home from Omaha.

But the first band loads in at 9am and they built that whole big stage thing I'm not really sure if you saw but it's like four risers and like a tent in the middle because Maria changes in between each song.

It's actually a very theatrical performance on their parts it's really good too. But all these hours like we don't even get to put our stuff on stage until like 4pm.

Yeah so you know from 9am to 4pm almost 8 hours it takes that long to just build that whole show and then we have about maybe an hour and a half of stage time before doors open.

Well it's been an eventful I guess it's been an eventful day and a half. A lot of times when people stop in they only get to see me it seems sometimes it feels like that day has been a long time but in a good way.

I mean like if you're in laws are here and I shouldn't say that because I like my in laws but you know if you have someone around you that you don't like a day can seem like a long time.

But if even if you have someone that you do like and you're doing a whole bunch of crap. Yeah. It's the same thing like you haven't even been here a day right now.
