Alright everybody let's roll!

That's possibly the official new intro for Knock-On Podcasts. Yeah that's right we're doubling up.

I'm rubbing my hands together and getting practice in for starting a campfire in the woods in Montana here in a few days.

So yeah anyway it's Sharon's birthday. I did the one podcast this morning. I was really on to that broad head subject and kind of liked that whole discussion.

I heard her get up so I went up and said hi gave her a presence and all that good stuff and got her some coffee.

She's moving her brains functioning and now she's talking to a bunch of our family for her birthday wishes. So with that said I asked her if I could come down and enjoy a beverage courtesy of Archer who sent a crown beverage.

This is actually a new invention. I'm calling it knockdown. This is a lemon lime. I'm not totally sure to think of it but it's a lemon lime kill cliff with some crown reserve.

So I'm calling it knockdown and it's yeah I'm gonna keep slammering. That's a saying I came up with last night in one of my social media posts.

Sharon posted a thing double fisting last night. I'm martini and wine glass and I was a little bit a little bit sauceed and yeah someone told me to keep hammering and I said well actually if I have drinks in my hands I'm so glad I'm doing this.

I'm gonna keep slammering. That's my spin off. Sorry Cam. I still kind of stole that and I'll have your beverages for you sir. So anyway I wanted to talk a little bit more. I posted on my Instagram.

I posted a little video about the golden triangle and what I was talking about in reference to anatomy and pretty much how the you know my aiming zone within that.

And if you're depending on when you're listening to this podcast it is September 16th. So if you want to scroll back through my Instagram to September 16th. There's a video that has pretty much just did a gift that flashes back and forth between a skeletal structure of a elk.

The vitals of an elk in organs and then an actual shot that I placed on an elk which was the shot that someone kind of slammed me about on which I talked about in the last podcast but anyway you can see I've marked the golden triangle I've talked about that.

And one thing that I didn't get into on the last podcast that I really want to get into right now is you know once you make that shot and you go through that golden triangle you know what really is the identifier of penetration because one thing that I've learned as someone who films almost all my hunts is exactly what happens with that arrow once it passes through.

And I can tell you that there's some amazing things that happen to an arrow when it actually does pass through but if you're like me and you use the legs as a reference and when the animals turned and you see the separation of those legs and you go up the inside of the leg.

So you're literally aiming to the off side shoulder. A lot of times I don't get full passers because I am specifically aiming to the eye.

I'm aiming to off side shoulder and a lot of times that off side arm bone or off side shoulder you know the arrow is lost a lot of momentum by the time it gets through over there and a lot of times when it hits that obviously it's you know the blade's been cutting already it's losing it's got a lot of drag so there's a lot of things factoring in.

But what happens is once it hits that opposite shoulder what I've noticed is if an animal is reacting and they're dropping down and they're moving those arms and moving those scapulas when that arrow passes through to the other side and then that arm is moving as soon as it's moving down or ducking it's actually driving that arrow back out.

And a lot of times the penetration that you see on that animal as it's running away isn't truly an image of what that penetration was at moment of impact.
