Thank you for including the bit where we can see that even Olympic athletes can pull of the "oh no thing falling, grab thing" that leads to knocking everything else off.
Jake several questions please. Why Easton x10 arrows? Are they that perfect? Also, what is the advantage of fletch tape versus question glue? Thank you
I know I'm nit Jake, but seeing as it's been a year... Easton X10's are guaranteed to be straight within .0015", every shaft. Also, they are grouped by bare shaft weight and there will only be a .5 grain difference within the dozen ordered. Also, they are a tapered shaft, which helps with recovery, especially out of a recurve. As to fletch tape, vs traditional methods, could be any number of reasons for that. Ease of use and faster prep are a couple that come to mind.
jake, if possible please show how to fix.arrow after demage from hit by other one on behind.... how to judge if demaged arrow is even suitable to fix. have a nice day !
Just imported 3 dozen Pandarus Elite CA-320. Chinese version of the X10. Was considering buying Easton but the shipping costs, 20% import duty into the UK and, 20% VAT just put them at a silly price. Chinese shoot and group well and with free shipping and zero import duty (still have to pay VAT) represent good value. UK and US really do need to sort these trade tarrifs out
It’s more of the unfair trade practices and subsidizing of exports on Chinese goods. It’s impossible to complete on a fair playing field. Fair wages and proper working conditions won’t be found in the places we get things for dirt cheap. Tough place as the consumer for sure.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery I've just imported a new grip from the US. By the time it arrives here it's going to cost me 5 times the original value. I could have bought it from Europe which at its closest point is 22 miles from the UK. That would have cost me 8 times the original value. Welcome to the UK who voted to leave the world's largest trading block. Our tax receipts as a result of that vote are down £400 billion. The world is mad
Same thing importing stuff from UK to EU/Germany. I ordered a lot of good stuff from UK shops but the taxes and all the mad bureaucracy made it a expensive gamble so I stopped buying from UK. I feel very sad for this to happen! EU, UK and US should play together and not against each other.
It's official, I really will watch anything you do haha. I have also struggled with arrows falling over when leaning them (3:55), so I 3D printed myself a little caddy that they stand up straight in. Can I send you one?

THANK YOU! that was excellent content. Loved the cat in the box trick Do you align your nocks prior to marking them in the jig? or are the x 10's consistent enough that you dont need to?
The last time I spine checked x10s the average arrow was +/-.0015” of spine after sorting through 3 dozen of them prior to Rio. I did align them to a consistent spine but for your average Joe (myself included at this point) it’s unnecessary imho and more time/money can be spent wisely elsewhere for performance.
Hi, I start archery, I like barebow and I want to keep the option of olympic archery. Do you think the Topoint unisson is a good choice to start ? From Montreal Canada :)
Wow I got click-baited; commentary totally starts at 5:57. I do wonder when different choices matter like X19 arrows with hand aligned vanes vs a cheaper arrow with more precise vane application (among many other number of tweakable variables). Probably unpopular with the crowd here but I admit I wished this wasn't so edited. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, is x10 spine 600 same as lets say ACE spine 600? (There is no 600 spine for ACE, closest one is 620, but is it the same or there is a difference between those 2 arrows)?
Kind of late to this one, but FWIW, in my experience, X10s tune slightly weaker relative to their nominal spine than ACEs do, meaning the 620 ACE will be very, very close to the 600 X10 in terms of tuning (within one turn of the limb bolts on a 40-ish pound bow).
Happy new year Jake! I wanna also ask that aren't we supposed to put the points first before the pins? Like we've always been advised to do that as it can affect the amount of air that can enter the arrow if we put the point after pin?
I have a set coming in the mail so I have watched this several times now. A question re X-10 did you also Knock tune these? Does Easton do this for you? is it really necessary. I really want as much consistency I can get. I especially like the box trick for your assistant.
In my experience unless you are going to a HUGE event and it's very important to you, the X10 is so consistent you do not need to spine align or nock tune the arrows. If you have time and the desire, you can do so but it usually won't produce different results. It's dependent on the person and what they need to feel confident.
The spin wings I used here were the VLD variant. There is no tab on the back to tape it down. I prefer these vanes for over 42# with more offset than standard spin wings.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery Fair. I have my own X10 on order and will be using your AAE fletching. Very timely. I will also be using Beiter in-out knocks and was divided on out knocks. My recent experience with pin knocks was not good. BTW. I enjoyed the simple no commentary too.
I found it useful as I could see what steps Jake does and compare them to what I'd do/heard about myself. Kinda like puts the whole process into perspective and allows to see if there's any time saving tips I wasn't aware of, f.ex. using one long strip of tape for multiple spin wings and omitted spine checking.
I see the special guest was back to help again 🤣. And that cats are well understood. The box trick was brilliant!
Including the little mistakes that can happen was a nice touch
And a big like for the cat
Thank you for including the bit where we can see that even Olympic athletes can pull of the "oh no thing falling, grab thing" that leads to knocking everything else off.
Purring cat added for maximum cuteness overload 🤣
Absolutely love your new video style like ASMR
I have a cat just like that! Glad to see your cat get screen time!
At last: Jake Kaminski - The Silent Years 👍😊
I was 5 minutes in before I realised my phone wasn't on "Mute"!
Well crafted ASMR video weedhopper. It was fun to watch before I headed to the range, where I had more fun.
Pure meditation 🙏🙏👍👍....thank you for the video
and the helper cat
Happy New Years
8:20 That's a really clever way to do that. Hat's off :D
Luv the cat 🐈⬛! Happy New Year!🎊🎈🎆
Best video so far.
You should try "The Wing Thing" a fletching jig for spin wings, so no need for marking arrow shafts with markers and consistent wing postioning.
It would be so interresting to see some arrow comparison videos!
Could you make that happen some time?
Ah haha the gold mark pen… so professional

Seeing that you put the stainless steel points on. have you compared them with the tungsten points? Are the tungsten points worth the extra cost?

Jake, Do you not feel the need to spine index the X10 shafts?
That’s something my cat woulda have done lol
Why don't you quench in water? Is there a reason for that or just cause?

@@JakeKaminskiArchery whew! but that means I don't need to make or buy an arrow tool for doing that. Thanks for the quick reply. Love your channel
x10 or ACE for 36 lbs ???
Why does everyone secure only 1 side of the spin wing? I always do both is there a difference?
The spin wings I used here were the VLD variant. There is no tab on the back to tape it down.
I prefer these vanes for over 42# with more offset than standard spin wings.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery oh okay I use the same vanes but I always try to tape te back a bit thnx for the info
Was expecting to see you squaring the ends of the cut shafts! No need??
4mm X10 parallel vs barrel X10..
Cat!
Is there a reason you dont square anything
If you cut them correctly and make extra rotations with the arrow on the saw, they square themselves
Ah crap, I just put an order in with you. I hope I’m not getting the cat…. Nice cat though.
You're probably getting the cat..
I just got a signed book as a perk when I last ordered back in the day; looks like Jake upped his game for you.
I was expecting to see AAE fletching and not spin wings.
For a customer/student.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery Fair. I have my own X10 on order and will be using your AAE fletching. Very timely. I will also be using Beiter in-out knocks and was divided on out knocks. My recent experience with pin knocks was not good.
