  • EP 77 - Part 1: From Outdoors to Indoors | Making the Shift
    Oct 15 2025

    The outdoor season is over — it’s time to trade the wind, sunburn, and mosquitoes for bright lights, packed ranges, and the sound of arrows echoing off the walls. In this first episode of our Indoor Season Series, we explore what it really takes to make the shift from outdoor archery to indoor precision.

    Join Scott and Kari as they break down the big switch — from 70/60/50/40/30 meters to 20 yards, and from endurance to absolute accuracy. We will talk about how environmental changes affect performance, what makes the indoor game such a mental test, and how to reset expectations for scoring and mindset.

    Special guest Cole joins the conversation to share his perspective on adapting to the indoor season — from his personal training routines to his first indoor experience. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or stepping onto the line for your first Vegas round, this episode will help you fine-tune your focus and embrace the challenge.

    🎯 Key Takeaway: Outdoors is about endurance. Indoors is about precision.

    Listen now and get ready to hit the 10-ring this indoor season.
