On this episode, Tyler Jones, K.C. Smith discuss their recent archery hunt for pronghorn (also called antelope) in New Mexico. They talk about the challenges of hunting these fast-moving animals on foot. Both hunters had different arrow setups - Tyler had a faster bow shooting heavier arrows while K.C. had a lighter arrow setup.

On the hunt, they struggled to get accurate ranges to the antelope due to tall grass and being spotted. Tyler discusses two shot opportunities he had, missing both times likely due to underestimating the distance. K.C. also discusses a missed shot where the antelope jumped the string.

They agree the lighter arrow setup is better suited for antelope. They talk to locals who also struggle with these difficult to hunt animals. Both hunters discuss lessons learned and potential changes to their setups for the upcoming deer season.

In summary, the podcast provides an in-depth discussion and analysis of the challenges of archery hunting for pronghorn based on their recent hunt. Thanks for listening!
