Re-Upload: 2021 Bow Setup
Wednesday Jan 12, 2022
Wednesday Jan 12, 2022
I accidentally uploaded the wrong episode back in August for episode 89 and never sent this episode out. I still thought there was some value for the episode as I go through my bow setup back in August. I received my Hoyt RX-5 Ultra about 10 days before my archery hunt and went through a full setup. Let me know what you think!
