@@shoustonwood1177 I am still shooting this. Had a small issue with the footed veneer at the limb connection. South fixed that problem and sent me a corrected set and a new set of limbs for my troubles. Still like the setup a lot but I go back and forth between my long limbs and extra long limbs. I’m tempted to try out VPA new longer riser

@@dougcassin677 the density where I’m at now is far lower. Probably around 12 deer per square mile maybe based on what I’ve seen. Where I was previously and still hunt in the south eastern part of the state it’s likely 25+ per square mile.

@@kylelortie1168 thank you! Good luck as well!

@@marvinprado1700 best advice I can give you as a new hunter would be to spend as much time in the woods as possible scouting. The more boots on the ground the better for your first few years. Don’t be afraid of bumping deer, you’ll learn something every time. Learn and understand how/where’s deer bed and use the wind. And lastly, one thing I wish I did when I started 20 years ago was to keep a hunting/scouting journal. That will help tremendously

@@roamhunting9421 do you mind if I ask you a few more questions? Do you have an instagram or something I can DM you?

@@ejhz71 thank you!

Thank you, I certainly agree!

I landed just shy of 8" on the brace height. Anything less than that did not feel right and I attribute that to the 20 degree limb pad angles of this riser. South's Apex riser and most ILF risers are not that much of an angle on the limb pad.

It varies depending on what arrow and how your set up will tune. What I’ve found typically works best for me is when you have an arrow nocked, looking from behind down the arrow, it’s pointed slightly outside of center. Center meaning the arrow is dead in line with string. You have flexibility to adjust as needed to get the best arrow flight but I’ve found this to be the most consistent for me.

@@roamhunting9421that makes perfect sense! I shoot 2016 aluminums out of my recurves with 175 up front shooting 48-50 pounds depending on which bow but I’ve noticed it seems like ilf shooters always go to a 400 to 340 range spine I only draw about 26 inches but like to be around 48-50 pounds and I usually cut an arrow down to around 29 inches or so with most my set ups.

Thank you! Doing very well and hope you are as well!! If you guys have interest in learning I’d love to teach!

Thank you! Just moved up here to Zone 5 so I’m out of my element but learning quick! Caught some of your recent success, great work

@@roamhunting9421 thanks man! my dads in zone 5 great zone!

Thanks! I never could get it completely solved. I tried a lot of adjustments but the only thing that led to more consistency was adjusting my grip with less heel pressure. I’ll be picking up another grip for it soon to see if it helps. I recall it happening with my previous arrow setup but not as much. Only thing I can think of there was different nock fit/pinch so I’ll play with that too

Thank you! The self filming thing is certainly a grind but I have enjoyed putting these videos together and it’s great when everything works out. Appreciate you watching and good luck this year!

Thank you and couldn't agree with you more. Tons of great deer being taken in Mass every year.

Thanks! One of my quicker kills for sure. The gloves are not heated, they are merino wool from Cabelas Instinct line I believe

Thank you! I’m a big fan as well

It depends entirely on the bowyer. Some can be quick, under 6 months but others can be 18 months plus. Lots of bowyers have stock bow options if they miss clients weight but you have to be looking for those

Yeah I’m not sure, hat like this it’s usually fine but others have to get turned around. Also, my anchor point is more in front of my face than on the side and that may help.

Thank you sir!

Thank you! It’s shooting as good as it looks! Really liking how everything is feeling with the limb and riser pair. Super excited for this season with it

I’m excited to try the DAS, hopefully I’ll be picking one up soon!

I have the DAS DX5 as well . Very quiet,nice to shoot with my longbow limbs. My rubber pads are getting a little soft from the tention of the limbs. I even shoot a black hunter longbow that I really like also..

Thank you! I have had really good luck with the Trad vanes. Durability sometimes is an issue but overall I like them a lot. Especially in this 4.0 size with 4 fletch

I second trad vanes. Quieter than feathers as well.

Thank you Sir!

Yes I would use the same arrow for every shot during paper tuning. There are multiple ways you can correct a paper tear with either the bow or the arrow. What I prefer to do in many instances is to set up the bow to factory specs and leave the rest set at the recommended center shot. Then see what the tear will show and you have the option on the arrow side to increase or decrease point weight or shorten the arrow. Both options with affect your tear. Besides changing the arrow, you can also change your tear by moving the rest, shimming cams, increasing or decreasing draw weight. Hope this helps

@roamhunting9421 ok by change arrow do you mean different spine or different out of your group? and yes it helps a lot. i have several 400 and 340 spine axis and im really trying not to buy any more arrows and make these work. so once i get bullet holes with one arrow i can nock tune the others to match it? im short as i can get on arrow length and i really want to use the iron will collars and 125 gr head if i can so im trying to see if my arrows are even gona fly straight with them before i buy them.

when i see people shooting lasers with fixed blades it drives me crazy that i cant haha. thank for your reply and sorry if thats too much

@@dirtlegchaser2424 if you are as short as possible on arrow length then you can only change point weight to affect the tear. Besides that, you will have to make adjustments on the bow side. I would focus on getting it as close to perfect as you can. if there's a tiny barre shaft tear, I wouldn't worry too much. A lot of times when you add the fletching weight on, you will get the arrow to react stiffer. So you can keep that in mind. Also, give the bareshafts some shots outside without paper to see how they are flying. Its easy to chase the tear alll day in paper

@@dirtlegchaser2424 It certainly can take a lot of tinkering to get that level of flight. Just takes time. Good luck with your tune!

This set up is a 60” Amo bow. But I’m running a 57” string and I’m right at 8” brace height on the set up currently.

@roamhunting9421 ok cool. I've got a 19" satori riser I'm putting the xl apex limbs on so trying to work out what string length to buy

I like it a lot. Was able to take a doe with it this fall. It’s been shooting great for me. South actually built me up a set of Long limbs for it because I did eventually have a cosmetic issue with the overlay cap delaminating. I plan to experiment with a different grip than what’s on there now but the riser itself is very good and the small size does not bother me. I feel the sight window is plenty big. I’ve been enjoying shooting it off the shelf as opposed to the springy rest also.

@@roamhunting9421 Thanks for replying man, I bought a hoyt buffalo back in the day not knowing about ILF. Now that I want to upgrade the limbs it's damn near impossible, I called up Hoyt and they said "item is dicontinued, no limbs that we have now will fit it, sorry." Sucks - never again.

@@Farsight-nh5kg Dang, that’s too bad. You may be able to scour the classifieds for some limbs that will work. However, it’s probably better to spend money towards an ILF system at this point

Thanks Ken, doing well this year on killing them just struggled to get stuff on film. Two bucks and a doe down in Bow season. Missed hitting record on them just due to how the hunts went. I have some footage and may put together a breakdown of the hunts just for some educational stuff. My instagram is @alexroache_outdoors if you want to follow along there

Thank you!

I use old sight tapes from a Montana Black Gold Sight. There is a clear film with sight markings on it that can be removed leaving the white tape. I suppose you could use something similar to white electrical tape.

Thanks! Excited to put out more videos with it!

@roamhunting9421 Seen alot of ILF set ups at the big ETAR shoot here in Pennsylvania, this past July. But none that looked that good. ScottinPa.

The remote is the Sony RM-VPR1. It connects to the camera through the multi port. It works well, zoom speed is great after I made sure my camera and lens software was up to date.

Well I had one good opportunity at a buck and blew it. Shot was high, likely skipped arrow off his back and was unable to recover the arrow. I believe these would have no issues with durability through hunting. The shaft and components are stout and the overall arrow weight was a happy medium for me.

Thanks, I'm really liking the set up so far. I had issues with the rampages which use a similar outsert. These Grizzly Stik Outserts I'm using now make them even more durable

@@roamhunting9421 definitely will check those out..

Thanks! I think its very beneficial to do a post season review on your set ups. Lot to learn from it

I referenced this in the video at 7:40 min marker. You are correct that they do not recommend that, however, I have not had any issue result from it as well as many others that use the process correctly. For other arrow builds I frequently prefer to use epoxy
