I’m already fired up to get into the tree stand.

I found an old cottonwood sitting along a natural deer travel corridor. There’s already an abandoned stand in it—which tells me someone else noticed the same pattern—but I’ll replace it with a safe setup and clear a few shooting lanes.

Then, during the rut, I’ll wait for the right wind and hunt it carefully.

Don’t adjust your bow because of one bad shooting day.

I’ve moved my sight after consistently shooting to one side—only to return the next day and start missing in the opposite direction. A slight change in your grip, strength, or familiarity with the bow can shift the entire group.

I want two days of consistent evidence before I start moving equipment.

Is a rangefinding bow sight cheating? To a certain degree, maybe—but it still won’t execute the shot for you.

During practice, you already know the distance. In the woods, a deer can move after you reach full draw, forcing you to estimate a new range. This sight removes that guesswork by ranging the target and placing the pin at the exact distance.

You still have to hold steady, maintain your form, and make the shot.

The sad reality of bowhunting is that your worst shot during practice may be the best shot you’re capable of making in the woods.

Adrenaline, fatigue, awkward positioning, and a moving animal all make ex*****on harder. That’s why “good enough” at the range isn’t necessarily good enough for hunting.

Practice beyond the standard you expect to need.

A compound bow releases an explosion of force. Even when you know it won’t hurt you if you shoot it correctly, that energy can still create anxiety.

If you hesitate, the bow begins to control the shot. You have to push through the fear, trust your form, and take command.

Command your bow. Command your mind.

Perry Shoots and Talks—Episode 2.

In this episode, I switch over to my hunting bow and shoot 25 arrows at 40 yards while getting ready for deer season.

This bow is heavier, balances differently, and has a rangefinding sight. As my arrows begin drifting low and right, the real question becomes: Is the equipment off—or am I?

That’s where archery becomes mental. You have to trust your form, resist making impulsive adjustments, and command the bow instead of letting the bow command you.

I also cover compound-bow grip, shooting fatigue, rangefinding sights, practicing beyond your hunting distance, and my tree-stand plans for the rut.

You have wisdom in some area of your life—something you’ve experienced, learned, or figured out how to do.

It may seem completely ordinary to you, like tying your shoes, trimming your beard, or brushing your teeth. But someone else doesn’t know what you know.

Don’t underestimate the value of sharing something simply because it feels basic to you.

Smoking or drinking offers low-effort relief. Creating something asks more of you—but it also gives more back.

Playing music, making art, and expressing yourself can produce a natural high while turning what’s inside you into something meaningful. Even mixing a record—balancing the guitars, bass, drums, and vocals—can become part of the healing process.

Divorce is a devastating blow, especially when you didn’t want it. There is a time to withdraw and go inward—but there are healthy and unhealthy ways to do that.

Journaling, meditation, contemplation, and beautiful music can help you process what happened. Television, gaming, alcohol, drugs, and gambling may temporarily numb the pain, but numbing yourself isn’t healing.

Western men have largely lost the ability to grab a drum or guitar, sing together, and let something out.

We’ll calmly discuss our emotions or sit in meditation—but our expression often remains restrained and self-conscious. Somewhere along the way, we also decided that singing and dancing were feminine.

They’re not. Across cultures, men have used music, rhythm, and movement to express strength, grief, brotherhood, and masculine energy.
