Honestly...I love this for me.

This was such a fun weekend Best Friend, and I can’t wait to become a sharp shooter with you!

We love this for you Rachel! Stop apologizing because you are being you and making things you love. Watching you complete projects..no matter what it is... is inspiring me to finish projects, period.🤩 It's helps seeing your accomplishments and is hella motivating for me. 🤸🏾‍♀️❤️😍 Also, seeing the plants in your living room are giving me life, would love to see a mini plant tour. 🌱🌿🌵🪴

Your commentary was epic and I literally spit out my water with the “Strap on” comment. 😂 Also the blurring of the toes😂😂

Watching you and hearing your thoughts throughout your diys is my therapy...no pressure though!🤣🤣🤣

Two videos in this week? You are blessing us girl🥰

This was so beautiful to watch!!! The mountains, the sun , the clouds , the puppies and you living your best life!!! This is so beautiful!!! Cannot wait for more updates!!!

I havent had a best friend since high school. Toooo many years ago. It's amazing how awesome y'all's friendship is... cherish the friend love!! And have a loveeely Friday! :)

Rachel! You inspire me so much. I am renovating a house after splitting with my husband while it is not an amazing desert oasis, I so enjoy getting to walk this similar path with you. The archery range looks *chefs kiss* amazing and so fun!

Hi. I'm halfway across the world (well almost) and I've never met you Rachel but I can't tell you how HAPPY I am for you. Living your life to the fullest. Wishing you all the best in life, and sending you and the pups lots of love and kindness!💚

I'm thinking about buying an old house in the country and I often talk myself out of it because of all the work and money it might need. Then I watch your videos and I'm like, you CAN do this! Thank you, you are an inspiration to us single gals looking to live our best lives :)

I've been following your diy projects and watching you complete each vision you've had for your property is just inspiring! Continue to rock and awe us all! ❤

You remind me of my childhood girlfriends. We had a small cottage house their dad built for us in the backyard, and their mom was Spanish so we had flamenco dresses and dressed up with makeup and tia Carmen's heels and had a ball. So nostalgic...riding our tricycles down the hill from their house, having pancakes on sleepover Sunday mornings, learning gardening from tia Carmen. You somehow exude that nostalgia with your whimsy.

I just love love love your videos. I giggle every time I see you working on your property in a G. I put on blue jeans just mow the lawn (such a wimp). I get it. It's crazy hot where you are- but I can't help it. I giggle. And I didn't think it was possible to make your property any cooler, but come on, an archery range. So cool. So much fun. Thanks for sharing.

Love it!… I’ve shot bow for many years… even in competition so this was true to my heart. I also drive a Jeep and own 2 at the moment. Really love the Jeep Day bed❤️✌🏻

How did you find all those you tubers that live in the same area? It’s seems so convenient!

I like that you have been doing some make overs that are not super relevant to most people. I think they are way more inspiring since they are not the typical make overs you see on this platform. Keep up the good work. Also Blaze is super cute 🥰

I really do admire you, your drive, your strength… you can see & feel that you put so much thought and your heart into these projects. I’m happy to be following you on your journey and I can’t help but smile with each video. Just good to see you doing well and taking things day by day.. one project at a time… sending so much love & light your way! Thank you for all that you do.

what an exquisite view to wake up to

Before a few vids ago I never noticed the foot blur has that always been a thing? 😂😂😂 What a fun weekend project!

WOW, what a view you have from your property. Just think, would you have your own personal archery range living in the city??? So, so, COOL! So glad you have wood brain to help.

your commentary always cracks me up. great video! so excited for what's to come!

rachel ive got to suggest you become a pilot next and wreck us with epic drone footage of your property as it comes along!! you're living my dream! joshua tree sure does look exquisite with friends

As a compound archer myself I am so jealous of your range! It’s so fun! I hope you fall in love with archery!

i fucking LOVE all of your projects, the way you use found objects and wood from your property! the archery range is next level of awesomeness!

That storm was off the charts!! Looks like we may get another hit today. Loving everything you're doing with the property. Archery is such a calming sport. Good stuff!

So hard working our girl is.... The archery range We love ❤️

Your videos are completely unexpected girl! The outfits to build an archery target… never seen before & very interesting 😜 I’m totally an archery fan and did practice it, you’ll have A LOT OF FUN 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤩

I LOOOOOOVE your videos! Looking at your beautiful property and hearing you being so happy is sooo relaxing 😌 greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

Archery is so meditative, i hope you enjoy this everyday ☺️☺️☺️

You have come sooooo freaking far with yourself!! I'm beyond proud of you🥰 The land is amazing I'm very jelly, but not of the 120°🥵 Keep going baby, keep seeing your vision.... it will all come true❤

Rachel Love, No matter what video you upload, no matter what project, it keeps reminding myself to go after my dreams. Your vibe, energy, the glow of empowerment that you carry in yourself is big and bright and even if you don’t know it. the Message of strength and self love comes through the bushes, even through videos like this, that are still awesome btw. You inspire me and so many other women to be empowered, to do things just for yourself and do the things you love. You have to stop apologize for you living and doing your best, we are excited for all the things you do. There is nothing to be apologizing for. We love you Rachel, you are awesome. Trust the process, it will be all good and just how it needs to be. 🌻❤️ PS. very Excited for the indoor projects, can’t wait for your magic to carry on in your house.

Good luck with everything girl everything is looking good

You are as they say, “ living your best life “! So happy for you Rachel!! Love everything you’re doing with your little piece of heaven. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Always down with archery. So happy you’re getting into it. It’s so true about it relieving stress. I love it so much. I worked for Bowtech for a lot of years and have acquired quite a few bows. It’s one of my favorite pastimes

Oh my! That balsamic toast, no wonder you can do all that construction!

As a future acher[i'm soon starting] this is all i needed😂

Girl I was laughing the whole time I love watching your videos so much fun every time and yes we all are learning so much of tips and just the love you put out in making your house a home.

Sometimes it’s just beautiful watching someone else living your dream. YOU MADE YOUR OWN ARCHERY RANGE!!! Damn you’re so cool!

That bobcat is so cool and fast. We dont hv that in our country. First time seeing it

I got so excited when u said your building a range I was like what a gun range sign me up! Than I remember ur in Cali but an Archery range is still badass

I love watching your home come together and see you make a space for yourself in the desert. It's my dream

Love rusty stuff to and wood. I have a large burl root that i found in Arizona 45 years ago and it has followed me from home to home. It has great energy. Love what you are doing

I am so excited for you and this amazing home you are building for yourself. 😍 It is so inspiring and makes me proud to be a female maker too. You rock girl!

I CANNOT wait to see a complete before and after video of your whole property 😩💕

You should consider getting a little four wheeler or gator of some sort for your property. Would make your life so much easier!

Love to see the archery range! I’ve been taking lessons for about 4 months locally and I’m obsessed. So fun!!

I conquered taking out a old closet, and am in process of redoing it in my bikini. I thought this is how Rachel Metz would do it. Hahaha I'm so inspired by you, keep on going. Thank you for sharing your journey. Las Vegas 💘

And I love it for you, your finally at Peace with your World + Gratidue = Abundance

Fun story I actually grew up in the high desert not that far away from Joshua tree! So I totally feel your pain and in that heat🌵🌞 and around the same time that you ended things with Paul, I separated from my husband so I am going through this journey along with you and you are so encouraging and I just want to say I am proud of how far you’ve come because that transition is not easy

YES!!! I freaking love this Rach! You smiling so much throughout this video was for sure the highlight! Love it! ❤️ oh and keep us updated about the sexy neighbor? ☺️ maybe you have but I’m catching up on the the videos and kinda skipping around lol

Yeall have lots of fun with the new archery. So much hard work in the that scorching weather, big effort.

This is your Happy place. It sounds as if you have let go of the past and are in love with your "Present". Awesome sauce.

That is amazing. So impressed. Looks so much fun!!

Two Rachel videos and one from Mike in one week best birthday ever!!! 5am after that you’re a rotisserie chicken this time of year. I love your repurposing stuff I wish I had stuff I could do that with. Kudos a win win clean up and repurpose. I’m in love with your property. Please Rachel no heat stroke be careful. The first time I was there I got a second degree burn.

Not the strap ons lmaoooo 😂😂I love how this turned out. You guys put in WERKK!

Wow. Love that you can see the mountains now!

I love what you are doing! It's looking sharp!! You guys inspire me! ✨

i’m absolutely obsessed with you and your DIYs i look forward to every single video

This is so wonderful to me! You are so inspiring to me Rachel! I just left a long term relationship as well, around the the same time as you and I’m so grateful for you being such a force of independence for woman! It helps me so much! And keeps me strong! Thanks for helping me feel like I can be on my own! Strong and beautiful! Also just used my first power tool for my first DIY! So empowering! ❤️🥰 love you Rachel! You are a goddess!!! 😘

I can see the joy this property brings you and I love that for you!🌵💕

I particularly love that your diys are so different from all the other channels. So inspiring! ❤️❤️❤️💪❤️

This is AWESOME

I was just talking to my wife about my childhood with archery. Thanks for sharing.

your videos r honestly soo therapeutic & soothing 🙌🌹 cant wait for the interior makeovers

Nice. As an archery instructor, a few pointers I can give is to make sure you place your knuckle on your cheekbone every draw. The apex of the string should be behind your nose at every draw. This is called your anchor point and will direct your aiming ability to the hand holding the bow. Make sure you stand perpendicular to the target with your legs shoulder width apart and back straight, with your arm straight out. Don't hold the bow at and angle and compensate by bending your back like your friend at 9:16. The angle should be 90 degrees between arm and body. Your elbow should be turned towards your back to minimize the string slapping your elbow. With your drawing hand, you should also avoid what we call chicken winging where you pull back with your arms tucked in like at 9:16. This puts strain on your rotator cuff which overtime is bad. Instead you want your drawing arm perpendicular to your body and outstretched all the way back so that your chest puffs out and you feel your back muscles engaging. This will make drawing the bow much easier and you'll be able to make many more shots before needing a break. The angle between your drawing arm, chest, and bow holding arm should be 180 degrees. Also for a beginner, that target is way too far and you won't be able to figure out what you need to adjust. I suggest starting 12-15 feet away first. Another thing to consider is eye dominance. Basically put your finger out in front of you and close one eye at a time. Whatever eye that's open that doesn't cause your finger to move when you close the other is your dominant eye. You will typically hold your bow with the hand opposite of your dominant hand. You will need to switch your bow between the left and right handed version accordingly. Although you can also learn to shoot on the same side but it's just much harder. Of course nothing beats an in person lesson so look for a local range to give you an intro lesson. After you get a feel for the form down you can practice at home. Also remember to load the arrows with the one different fletching away from the riser (handle)

Sooo happy to see you happy!!!

Watching your videos is truly like going on holiday! Thanks, girl! ❤️

awesome

It’s coming together so nicely! I always wondered with your mail and hello fresh does it go all the way out to the dessert or do you have to drive to pick it up somewhere? If so is it a pain in your ass or is it worth it? So silly but I’m so curious as a Canadian who lives in snow 7 months of the year!

This is your most positive video! So calming to watch

SO CUTE absolutely love it and the mirror detail is ADORABLE. Also, not you making a casual strap on joke lmao

OMG that is so nice. Well done.

Who needs arrows and axes... perhaps using strap-ons as projectiles could be a whole new sport?!? USP? 🤷‍♀️

You’ve done an amazing job, everything looks wonderful. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do inside the house.

your videos always motivate me to get up and make progress towards the things i want in life

Your videos always help me relax and be happy, thank you!

Great video and the property looks great. As someone who has done archery for several years, I would highly recommend finding a good pro shop in the general area and get some archery lessons. The bow you are using in the video has a draw length that is way too short for you, and I can guarantee that you will enjoy archery as a hobby so much more if you get started in the right direction. There are a lot of bad advice videos on KZfaq, and nothing will beat some in person tips from someone that knows what they are talking about.

Forget traditional archery 🏹 our girl went got the compound bow! 🤣 Between the puppers & your sanctuary I’m so jealous of your freedom. And did I hear the hot tub is becoming a sunset/sunrise pillow pit !?! F*CKING GENIUS !!! 🌄 🌅

So inspiring 💖

I just love this!!

Awesome idea!! 👌🏼👌🏼😎

I absolutely love this, yesss girl! The property is coming along beautifully ❤️

Oh hell yes!! Y’all are my spirit women!! 🥰

Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks

I love your property and it's amazing what are you creating to do it your better place!🥰

Loving this chapter in your life! i can tell you are too

All I have to say is you are awesome and girl do you. Life is crazy enough without the added stress of KZfaq. So if people are trippin about the content, you so sweetly explained to us what is going on, there is a place that they can kiss.

Love it 😍 Good job girl 👧🏻!!

Thank you for your videos, makes me feel OK always after watching😊.

I would give my left arm to come hang with yall lol. But then I can't help much 😕. Love this vid

Oh fun Archery. Enjoy.

The laugh at the strap on I’m dead 😂😂😂😂😂

You're amazing, darling... don't ever change ♥️♥️♥️

I find it hilarious she’s in a tiny thong bikini yet blurrs her feet 😂 the things the internet make you do

Amazing!!! 📷🖤

All the work that you've done on that place is amazing. Is it safe to live out there alone, though?

Uniquely cool 😎

I love archery, that is so cool

love ya gurl! so fun! have fun always! xoxo
