Part 2 – The Gear Reset: Tuning for Indoors

It’s time to hit the reset button.
Outdoor season is over, and that means your setup needs a fresh look before heading indoors. In this episode, Scott and Kari break down everything that changes when the range gets shorter but the precision expectations skyrocket.

From adjusting draw weight and arrow selection to fine-tuning your rest, nock fit, and timing — this is your complete guide to making your bow “indoor ready.” They’ll share practical tips, discuss common tuning mistakes, and explain how the smallest adjustments can make the biggest difference in tight-scoring environments.

Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just making your first transition to indoor season, this episode helps you lock in your gear, your confidence, and your scores.

🎧 Tune in, take notes, and get ready to make every shot count — inside the 10 ring.

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.
