Full draw,
any given Sunday.

Home range reps, tournament lines at events like the Total Archery Challenge, and the scouting hikes that happen long before hunting season starts — the archery work that isn't a hunt but keeps the whole thing sharp.

The story

It's a year-round thing.

Hunting season runs a few weeks. The archery behind it runs all year — sight adjustments in the driveway, full-draw reps at home, tournament lines at events like the Total Archery Challenge. None of it involves an animal, and all of it is the reason the shot connects when it counts.

Different ranges, different shooters, same discipline — the reps look almost identical whether it's a backyard practice session or an actual tournament line. That repetition is the whole point.

The collection

Reps, ranges, and the walk in.

Most of this came off phones and action cams already shot vertical — kept native rather than forced into a landscape frame.
