    I got super interested in compound bows about 30 mins ago. (That's how my brain works... I'll eat up this topic in the next 2 weeks and then go out and buy one).
    Came straight to UA-cam and searched for basics.
    You tutorial nailed it !!!
    Thanks a ton.
    Love and best regards from India.

    MAJOR KUDOS for producing such a concise, clear, and well-produced video going over all of these basics. I really enjoyed it and in my early journey and deep-dive into compound bow archery I am far more knowledgable and understand the function and purpose of components now than I was 15 minutes ago. Bravo! and THANK YOU.

    Thank you all so much for taking the time to make such a clear and detailed video! I'm still learning so that I can be a fun hunting partner for my husband since this is really his passion. I actually took paper notes on this video, its that good. You've helped me build a base knowledge so I can go out more confidently and feel like I belong there and know what I'm doing. Thanks for explaining what function each component serves, not just what its called. That helped me to really visualize the parts' importance in the operation of a bow. Great video, you guys rock, I'm off to watch more of your videos!

    I'll share this with my friends at the Archery club.
    Most of the people there don't dare to ask the compound shooters questions.
    Some the them, not to judge compound shooters in general, look down on archers who don't shoot compound bows.

    I'd like to see an explanation on how the cams work. I understand the simplicity of the old round wheels, just a long string running around two pulleys. But the cams, they look similar but I don't quite understand the science behind them.

    Trying to find out how the pulley system of a compound bow works to see if someone in a less modern setting(closer to medieval to Victorian Era setting) could pull off creating a reverse crossbow and compound bow and what type of effect it would have had in an era where gunpowder weapons were only just starting to develop.

    Justin, how do you feel about the rubber tube used to keep the peep sight straight? Mine has twisted on me a few times. Hasn't happened since I've been using the tube. My friends say I'm "old school", and "behind the times." I don't care. Works for me!

    Im that younger guy that would walk into a shop and ask what all the trinkets are, so you saved somebody 30 minutes and a headache. This is a lot different than the classic stuff im use to. But i still have to ask about the cable guide/holder/the stick that holds them out of the way, seems like theres more than one style/setup. And how much can i modify a cheap $50 Barnett youth bow? The string is like plastic, and i hate it.

    • @bowhuntordie
      @bowhuntordie  3 роки тому +1

      Alex - you're probably not going to be able to do much with that Barnett Youth bow. You're better off looking for a used adult bow that's i good shape and going from there. And yes, there are several styles of cable guards out there. They all do the same thing though - which is to hold the cables out of the way so you can shoot without interference.
