Archery is awesome and this target stuff is addicting! Wanted to share my first full round, there will be plenty more but spring turkey/bear is coming in hot so we'll pick back up in the winter. We appreciate the support sincerely! -Dan

Hi, what if you sight right to the edge of red? Maybe it's easier to hit the x if you can see a better reference point, if it's always the same distance it could work. Aim right hit left 😂 ... or make a circle to the sight equal to the red target at a det. distance to co-witness. Great content guys

I cracked up when I first heard the announcers calling shots 😂

Killed your first Vegas like you do big bulls!!! Way to go ELKSHAPE.

I have so much respect for the PRO's!

That's a dang good first round of 300! Great video, and loved the humor, announcing, and having fun while you were shooting. That's what archery is supposed to be!

Great score Dan! Especially for your first ever Vegas round. Awesome!

Atta baby, Danno! Only way to go is up, brother! Killer intro to this video, too. Loved everything about this one.

Your new intro is 🔥 Keep the good stuff coming!

Great job Brother! One thing that really helped me is drawing with my sight above the target. I start applying back tension roughly 1 foot above the X & let the bow settle in the middle. If I start low, I am continually fighting to keep the bow from dropping low. I didn’t see that as a problem for you as you are in great shape, but it may when the nerves kick in & trust me they will. Hopefully this helps in the future Bro & a 300 is definitely in your near future.

That’s a solid round! Great job.

Hell yeah Dan way go! You always inspire my man!

love the announcers. good job Dan

That was an Epic first Vegas round man! Be proud of it. The hard work you sell is paying off and hopefully some bills

You did great! Big props for being bold enough to show every shot, that’s really being honest and taking a risk. Everyone who’s ever shot spots can attest to how humbling those stupid little yellow spots are! Buddy got me started on it saying “it’ll make you deal with what’s in your head.” Great job Dan, looking forward to more.

First vegas round and first time using a lens? You killed that brotha 🫡

I was rooting for you the whole time man…. Totally appreciate you bro and stay motivated

That new intro is fire, so was the shooting. I recently got a few Vegas faces and stopped shooting after 10 arrows because of how bad I sucked, haha. Going to work at it some more and try an official round approach like you did. Shooting a 7 year old Halon with a lot of ABT'n like you guys do.

Just finished watching the video of your Vegas shoot, you did really really good and although you were getting tired you were still shooting faster ends than what actually happens in Vegas The archers in Vegas get a little more rest between ends so I think you would have done even better, you have improved unbelievably over the years. Congrats and you have an excellent KZread channel.

Do yourself a MASSIVE favor and get 27's. They pick up SO many more lines. Those arrows are probably fine for TAC but will do you no favors in competition Edit: glass your targets! You're shooting open class so you can adjust your sight mid round

I love that you took the time to edit in the announcer clips, that's just awesome

Good job Dan. I just shot my my first Vegas rounds with this past week. 290 on my first on Monday. Yesterday shot a 295. Trending in the right direction. But it’s way harder than people think lol

Looks like that would be a great way to drain my pool. 😂

Awesome!!!! for your first Vegas 300 round I love seeing hunting influencers getting into target archery

Shooting a Vegas round with your…. POOL…behind…. You’ve got stones Brother

Fun video to watch. You 2 Crack me up.

Rip to that pool😂😂 love the channel man goodluck

Damn, the intro was fire brother. Keep on grinding 🤙🏻

Dan brought the ENERGY!!!

I ended up using the sonics for my indoor 3d league worked out well for catching lines. Really enjoyed this type of video keep up the good work!!!

Definitely need to build some indoor arrows! PS27 a lot of vane with a lot of point weight. Heavy slow and forgiving

Get you some V-TAC 27!! Splitting lines baby!

Intro is on fire! Great job on your first Vegas round, way better than any of mine.

Great Job Dan! That is a great first 1/2. Was it harder than you thought?

Love the intro. How are you activating your release?

great intro

I saw that MFJJ shot the Bowhunter category in Vegas….just saying 😅Also…wait until you get a lefty in your grill while on the line😊

Lmao, the editing!

Great round, you got all summer to shoot the target bow too don’t put it away just yet, we love the content!!

I enjoyed watching this video! Nice work! And great shooting! What magnification do you have on your lens? Are you using a clarifier in your peep? When you're ready, it'd be great to see a video on lenses and clarifiers. I'm really curious about how to set that up.

My target panic started in 2015 when I got into target archery. My shooting has been mentally taxing ever since.

Man i was not expecting to hear PJs voice glad i wasnt drinking my coffee lol!

Who knew Dan could shoot paper too. Lol. I'd say that's a pretty darn good round for your first go through. Awesome job Brother. #ABT

I got respect for you brother

Good shooting dan! Here in Onterrible they outlawed all single use plastic, cant even get a plastic grocery bag, gotta buy the reusable ones

Bro!!!!!!!!! Awesome Vegas and huge balls for using the pool as a backstop……😅😅😅😅😅. I would have punched the pool and been kicked out of the house. Mad props!!!!!!!!!

I shot a 289 with my VXR 31.5, no target bow to play with yet. Hell of a first round Dan! 🤘

If you get some spray glue and glue the target to cardboard it will hold up a lot better and make calling line shots easier.

Wow very impressive 👏

Check out using a 27 diameter arrow. I like black eagle ps27. You only have to touch the line to score. Good to see your finally doing indoor and putting the microscope on your shooting.

Jeez, my 50th vegas round wasnt close to this score. Nice work

Just here to say your editing doesn't suck. Good shooting.

🔥

Nice work! Once my targets show up I’ll se what I can do! 291 is my high so far in spot league( 5 arrows 12 rounds, 5 points max per arrow).

Ya man. In Illinois, we pay to have grass in our yards, air to breathe and fingernails on our hands.

Way to put yourself out there!! Indoor is TOUGH but the score is an indicator of where you are and for your first time shooting a lens and with small arrows that's not a score to be ashamed of!

Dewd! 297 is amazing for a first round. You sell yourself short.

I shot a round this morning… 269. Got my first bow three months ago. My future hunting setup. V3X and a black gold 5 pin… nothing fancy. Did it in under 30 minutes.

Time to build some 27's for Vegas and some 23's for 3D

Hey Mr. Staton, Do you plan on also shooting a Vegas round with your Lift? Thank you for your time and videos. V/r, Nate

Definitely nothing to be ashamed of. I've shot 3 or 4 full rounds of Vegas and the best I've had was a 298 with 17 x's. I shoot a bunch of 3d and do fairly respectable at that...usually 😂 keep up the work and you'll get a 300 quicker than you think.

297 is my best at home round to lol know go to the weekly club shoot near you and see how you do with pressure. I fall apart, I think 295 is my best club shoot round. It’s fun

😀That was entertaining to say the least! Yep, that's not easy with the camera on you, just ask Dud!

All the comments about draining your pool have to be the same people worried about your backyard range 😂

Dan, you shot great. With fat shafts easy 299.I think you learned just how many clicks it takes to move a target micro sight. I do have some harsh criticism for you. You had the bino move all wrong. The sound effect was on point, but you need to whip it up and rest on cam, not to eyes lol. Once you get that, you're herby designated a target archer. Way to represent hunters.

I'm competitive in BH category, so 12 inch front max with no magnification in sight, my PB is a 10.6 average over 30 shots with 11s (and shooting PS27s), for Vegas rules we shoot 45, current PB 444/450 with 36X, I'd love to see how you'd fare with short bars.

Now it’s time for some 2712s and stiletto points.

As a target Archer, this was a dope video Dan. BUT, I have to apologize in advance. That last arrow was in fact a 10 but no X. You shot a hell of a round regardless. Elk shape!!!🤘

Question- Do the targets need to be shot in sequence (1, 2, 3) during an actual competition? Love your content, Bro: keep em coming!

In competition at Vegas you can shoot any order. Most guys will shoot the bottom spots first to keep the possible shadow from your fletching out of the lower spots. I shoot bottom left, bottom right, and top.

1st ever Vegas Round Shootin Skinnies ?? OUTFRIGGINSTANDING SHOOTING !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try it once with your hunting bow

Get this man some 27’s

Is AAE better than bohning or is it just lighter

What brand is that hoodie?

Do you ever sell your old bows

What shoes are you wearing?

Going to give you a suggestion and make sure you repair your holes. The one shot you and Jeff were arguing about it would have been called out or at least with the people I shoot with.....🙂

Try with the hunting bow next!!

@ElkShape

Definitely!

Great first Vegas round but I agree with Jeff. That last one was not an x it was a 10.

297/13 is a really good round. Better than 95% of the people out there.

Your next goal should be a JOAD 300😉. Good shooting brother!

Even scoring it with World Archery scoring (everything is a 9 except the x), a 282 is a heck of a nice start on the yellow target.

Face it, the reason you can’t see your arrows at 20 yards is because you’re getting older😂 I once shot my own Vegas round and now realize I was counting the X ring as the only 10 score and not the next larger ring, so my score was much better than I thought. Was using a Mathews Legacy at the time.

Are Jeff's pants really that short or is something up from crouching maybe?

You need a bow rack buddy. Hey I would hit the pool the way you are setup. But nice work Dan.

@ElkShape

What pool ? 😉

Good job I think my highest score was 289. But I shoot bowhunter class no scopes or lens 😂

Not an X on the last one but you crushed it still

I'm gonna say it, there's probably a lot of people pissed that you shot a 297 on your first vegas round😂 Old men can shoot, I guess🤷‍♂️

With large arrows it would have been.

And that's great shooting. I think you can hit the 300 for sure. 100%

Keep challenging yourself, no hate here! Waiting for u to shoot the above ground pool by accident 😆

Nice Job Dan! I agree that you would have been a 299 if you had your sight clicked over before starting- You really only shot one 9 (the low one).. You are making me want to get a target bow--- Thanks for the shout out! I love it when my failures become public. You are making me famous for sucking! hahah.

Great score for a first! I shoot 27’s for indoor, and have 22’s ready just in case the rules change team-to-team. Fatties are for real!

Not an 'X' at :53 - Just because it is ripped does not make it, you must be touching where it lies. "9" all day!

Ohio doesn’t!

Get some fat target arrows, you would have had a couple more 10s!+😅😅 And we dont get plastic bags in my state. All paper or reusuable bags. But we get plastic cup, strws and eberything else thats plastic, but the bags, those are bad!!😅😅

That's not an X Dan but close and a good shot.

Fat arrow and adjusted sight 300 next time

Ct you have to pay for paper bags they won't even do plastic

Not an x

All blue state make you pay for any kind of carry out bag😂 they make you bag your own groceries and charge you for the bags

If you were shooting the fats shafts you would’ve had a 299.

If you are not sharing the target then use the outside of the target as the score sheet. Why are you using a lens ? Yes you can see more accurately but from my perspective execution matters far more than aiming and the lens allows you to TRY HARDER ! Which is almost always a bad thing !

Sometimes conditions change or you change something and you need to adjust ! Mostly indoors any condition changes are a change of lighting and it does make a difference !
