Survival
May 14, 2009
Survival
Whether you snuck in at the cut-off line or scored in the 140’s, you’re just one step away from some serious glory time on the Outdoor Channel. Through the first two stages, survival is the game, and it’s just plain tough to do in the Regionals. Pressure, intensity, and competition all rise and so should your preparations.
It’s a safe bet that everyone who advanced is flinging arrows and casting to buckets, but are you using the last month of training time to the maximum benefit? Going through the Quals was the “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough,” self-assurance portion of preparation for the Regionals. Now look in that mirror and ask three questions to see what you need to work on to be competitive.
Will competition day be easier than my standard practice? Broadside and in the open is not raising training intensity. Neither is known distance.
Does the weather determine practice schedule? Bluebird days and no wind may give you confidence, but it’s not gonna help when the wind blows 30 mph in Independence. Competition day is not going to change if it’s raining, neither should your practice.
Do I have a game plan? The scoring system changes, so do you change how you attack a course? Do you go for the maximum score on every shot or do you try and place consistently throughout the four disciplines? Shooting a ten is great, but if you have five 0’s to go with it, you’re not going to like where you rank in the fifty.
So use these last few weeks to find shelter and build a fire so you can survive to the Finals.

Hey John Davis just waiting for my e-mail. My e-mail address is loren_autrey@yahoo.com. My brother also qualified "Phillip Harden" its Thursday and it starting to concern me.
Send your emails / concerns for registration to info@totaloutdoorsmanchallenge.com
Not here please.
Lautrey -
Philip Harden didn't get an email because he didn't supply one on the application - he is getting his in the mail. We got a lot of incomplete applications.
We are looking into yours- but please send a note to info@totaloutdoorsmanchallenge.com
I was wondering if anyone from the Dania, FL BPS has been watching this site. If so does anyone want to travel as a group. I checked the pdf and there are 5 of us that made the cut. If so contact me : email --> goldbukl@bellsouth.net to talk about it.
Lautry,
Spoke with Eric; you are registered.
Thanks John for your help. Now I just need to find out about my brother.
I still have had no response from Bass Pro or field and stream concerning my entry form. I scored 132, scores were verified by each person at each station and the entry was turned in. The Bass pro person won't return calls. The only thing I get from Field and Stream is a sorry we cant find the entry. If you could just find out who was taking the entries at the OKC store this could be solved. The thing that I cant stand the most is the lack of communication on the iussue.
