    Watched this episode and got a subscription to precision cut archery. I’m made two sight tapes for two arrows set ups I’m playing with. Love what you do. Love that you’re repping the short draw guys, I’m one of them.

    Pumped to see how this goes. What a great Plan B arrow too by the way but still have the trajectory you are comfortable with.
    The broadhead is the part that does the cutting and killing. So nothing wrong with going heavier than usual with a solid head that is razor sharp.
    You could definitely use that setup for elk no problem. 🏹🦌

    I have the Garmin xero c1 and it’s pretty solid. Reads very consistent indoor. Shot it at my shops indoor range and no problem reading it. At home inside a bit hard but I am only shooting 3 yards so if you can get say closer to 10 yards I think you’d be alright. But I am definitely happy with what I’m seeing with it and the versatility with shooting rifle pistol bows and others especially if you reload is great. Small package and lightweight is super easy to bring and set up with you where ever you go!

  • @archerash6695
    @archerash6695 Рік тому

    Hey Dan.
    Just a heads up:
    After using the torch and removing the inserts, I've learnt to dunk the carbon shaft first, right away..
    To avoid any excess heat causing warping of the shaft.
    The inserts can cool down in their own glass of water.

    • @NMBowhntr
      @NMBowhntr Рік тому

      But if you use a heat gun and set it to just hot enough to melt the fletch-tite, you don’t risk the damage to the shaft at all. The propane torch and carbon just seems too likely to cause a crispy carbon shaft. Not a combination I’m personally comfortable using, but I love my heat gun from Harbor freight, stands up on its own. Just my approach.

    Hey Brother. I've never done wraps or shot arrows with wraps. But, I'm down to check them out though. I will be getting some new vanes here soon. And I'm getting some with the Elk Shape logo from your site. Which ones would you recommend for a midwest whitetail hunter sitting in a treestand. Only short 35yd max shot distance. I also want to switch to a .204 diameter arrow (either Victory RIP TKO's or Easton Axis 5mm Pros) from a GT Hunter XT. So that would factor in. I want the best chance of having the arrow zip right through the deer. Those 150 Iron Will wides look sick. I might even run those next year with the arrow change. I'll see the results of your little testing.

    My thoughts are how many deer are you going to shoot at 50-60+ yards where heavier arrows would aid in penetration? But 485 grains isn’t a super “ ranch fairy” heavyweight setup anyway. One thing about it those wide blade heads should get it done for sure. Personally, I prefer like a 425 grain max weight because I have only 62#’s at 28” at 270fps. Gives me great 40 yards and under trajectory and works great with a 3 pin sight. 👍👍👀👀

    Dear Dan,
    I've been quietly consuming your content for a few years now, and I need to be totally transparent with you.... I've wanted to dislike you, I've tried to dislike you... I don't know why or what it is. I thought maybe there's just something about your face. But the content kept me coming back.. I am telling you this now because I have officially overcome my unknown aversion for you. I can openly without shame fully consume your content now, and it is a great day for personal growth for me.

      HA!!!! Love your honesty, perhaps I have a face that only a Mother could love 😊... but... The passion for archery, fitness and elk hunting is REAL and I hope that comes across. Appreciate the support! -DS

    You might want to switch to an alcohol burner. Torches get too hot and you risk damaging your arrow…..not to mention your face.
