Thanks Mr. Dudley for all the sage advice and wisdom you generously share with other archers. You are an inspiration for your discipline and knowledge.
So to summarize I think: 1) shoot more poundage, 2) shoot lighter arrows, 3) choose shorter fletching, 4) smaller scope housing, 5) pull the sight closer to the riser, 6) move up the peep height as high as you can, 7) put a sight pin at the bottom of the housing.
Also, I had to learn on my own that I needed to start with my bottom so I could get the max distance out of my sight. I think this is easily overlooked in the beginning.
Built my first bow with a sight tape this year. Could only get it to go out to 60yds before my arrow hit my scope. Didn’t know anything about this stuff. Took it back to my pro shop, they told me to adjust my anchor point, we moved my sight all the way toward the riser and raised my peep. I can shoot out to 105 now. Shooting a Mathew’s lift, 70lb draw, 440gr arrow
Great video, I have been looking for something like this. Relatively new to archery, 2 years, and still learning a lot. Got a site that had ability to adjust vertically. It has you site in at 20 and 60 yards. My current setup can’t get to 60. I’m a pretty short guy, 5’3” shooting 50 lbs, using a wrist release and was having a hard time understanding why I couldn’t get the site to 60. I think my issue is peep site to arrow. Thank you for helping to understand all of the variables that go into distance!
Hey John thanks for all the great videos learning SOOO MUCH!! Just picked up an embark love it been shooting unti my shoulders kill me. Lol Thanks again a true inspiration!
Great info. I will have to look at my peep placement and anchor point this weekend when my new string and cables are installed. Everything else besides going with a smaller scope has been taken into account. Running AVX-41 on landslyde so that I can utilize my current lens without having to buy a new one. I should be able to get triple digits easily on my setup, but testing will confirm one way or another and adjusted from there.
Another big change to make is going to smaller and sleeker fletchings. I was originally shooting q2i fusion x-ii in a 4 fletch on my tac arrows and now I change to 3 fletch bhoning x3s and I get 20 yards more out of my tape now
I’m so happy you did a video on this. You clearly explained everything so that even a knuckle dragging Neanderthal such as myself could understand it. Now all I have to do is just win a truck next year. Lol.
I believe The Mountain Archery Fest is way better than TAC. It's way less crowded and they're not strict about your start time and you can go do a course by yourself you don't have to be in a group
Just like iron sites on a gun. The further apart the front and rear sight the more accurate. But with a bow the gaps get bigger but the precision gets better.
For 500 grain arrows, you can lower the sight to at least 73m on my bow. There is another pin that can be fired at 80m and the edge of the bubble corresponds to 90m. By the way, it is convenient to shoot a bubble, it is so easy to see it, unlike a pin when you need to look down at the bubble. You can't shoot beyond 90m.
I have papertuned my PSE Unite with chims, not by adjusting the arrowrest, and I’m getting bullet holes. And I maintain the 3/16 of an inch from arrow to riser. Interesting enough I have a bit of a cam lean but the bow is working flawless and shooting straight.
I moved my peep up and resighted in. After that i used my slider to 60yrds and i was shooting high. I moved it to 57 to hit at 60. Does moving the peep affect the sight scale
I don't understand how the scope being further from the riser increases the distance on the scale I never noticed a difference inside out to 65 yds maybe it's more pronounced past 80? Like you said bow speed is the same so I don't understand how the scale can be much different the pin is still in the same horizontal access
Quick and dirty explanation and way for you to understand. Fully extend your arm and point your finger and the bottom of a window. Now move it towards the top of the window. Pull your finger closer to your eye and repeat. Notice how the closer your finger is to your eye the less distance it has to travel to reach the top of the window. Pins closer to your riser, less pin gap, smaller tape.
You are the best instructor I have ever seen , you brake it down so everyone can understand it . Thanks
You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Well you just blew that out of the window. Thanks keep on keeping on. God bless and take care.

I’ve been running my site all the way out. I’ve been working on bringing it closer to get better accuracy on my phase 4. Thank you sir
This is gold! Running out of yardage cost me shots at 2 bulls last year. This was my project for the year. Maximizing yardage. Thanks!
How far away were you trying to shoot a bull?

One of your the best and informative videos I’ve ever seen in regards to how it all works. Thanks👊🏼👊🏼

Great video I just got my new bow in with my new slider. This is the exact video I was looking for. Thank you for the great explanations.

This is BEAUTIFUL! You rock Dud
John - THANK YOU for a very HIGH VALUE video! Excellence defined.
Exceptional video! Concise and complete. Wish I found this before I watched the last 10. Thanks!
Great tips and info, thank you!
Hi John…your knowledge is greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing!
Great video!

Love all your content. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Best explanation regarding shot distance and setting your peep to sight $
Definitely hit on some key points for me. As always great stuff sir and thanks for sharing

great video John! thank you. I'm getting ready for tac so this is very helpful.
Great video!!! You really explained it well for my wife to understand why she can't adjust her sight to triple distance.
Some great info here. John you are the MAN !
Great tips, and excellent explanations! Thank you
I have wanted this information. I appreciate all your videos
love the video. Great instruction.
So many questions answered in less than 15 minutes 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Always thought the pin gap shrunk as you moved site out

Great tutorial! TAC truck shot here we come
I moved my peep up and resighted in. After that i used my slider to 60yrds and i was shooting high. I moved it to 57 to hit at 60. Does moving the peep affect the sight scale
Yes sir, its the height over bore/arrow.
Does adding a magnification lens on the sight also increase pin gap?
Biggest factor is your peep sight height. The distance between your peep and arrow at full draw.
What arrow was the 4 fletch? Axis 5mm? Thank you.
I don't understand how the scope being further from the riser increases the distance on the scale I never noticed a difference inside out to 65 yds maybe it's more pronounced past 80?

I need to stop shooting 4 fletch q2i fusions on my tac arrows lol
The heavier the arrow, the more it keeps its speed and momentum at range….
wrong
You lost me on this one Bro.... I need a graphic or dry erase board or something.
Im going to try to watch it again hopefully it will start to click.
Or how to wound a deer without killing it.
Then after you do all of that buy X10s.
