I learn a lot from your videos. As someone just getting into archery it’s hard to understand just how much goes into everything. From the arrows, to the strings, to the releases. I have about a month and a half of shooting under me and am just now starting to get “comfy” at 30 yards (where I’m not missing the target entirely).
I run the heat vane in a 4 fletch on a 5mm arrow and it’s been really good shooting out to distance for 3D as well as handling white tail hunting with a fixed 4 blade broad head
I am getting rwady for my first TAC in Oklahoma. So ready to get out there. Had a local 3D shoot with some 70 yard shots to train for long bombs. Great video.
@Brock Peck thought everybody did but Chris didn't seem to matter to him. But then again he had .003 arrows. Not that that matters if you use good components and square everything good!
Tip: you don’t need to razor blade off old fletchings and glue. Remove the nock and set all of the arrows in a safe container, I use an old aluminum cup, and let them soak in acetone. In an hour or two you’ll have clean arrows with no risk of cutting the carbon with a razor blade! Edit: maybe not the best idea, use discretion.
@@liamboyle9199 I soak for 15min and then hit them with a scotch brite pad. Works a treat I saw someone soaked some shafts for 24hrs and didn’t notice any issues but I wouldnt be doing that with cheap shafts
@polarbear5996 I know at least some Easton shafts still have fibreglass in them (pretty sure at least), so I probably wouldn't be pushing this technique to the masses. Like anything I have no doubt there are some cases where it works alright.
@@liamboyle9199 Yeah, it’s a real YMMV, but as mentioned, I wouldn’t try it with cheaper shafts It’s also a May vs Will decision. Soaking the end of the shaft may cause an issue, knicking the carbon with a razor, and not noticing, Will cause an issue
I trim off any overlap when I install wraps for other people, and put a fletch right on the seam. If there's an overlap, the vane will sit tilted to the seam.
I just purchased together the Easton superdrive micros in 325 spine at 27 11/16 " with the 120 point and 4 vane bohning air vane. Overall weight is 395 grains. Although, right now I am setup for ocal 3D league, and will be using the Superdrive 23s.
I have been running heat 2 degree right 4 fletch for years .They are alot more quite then my 4 fletch aae2.3 hybrids. The groups are really close to each other, but the heat vanes are alot tougher
For the ultimate long range TAC arrow i would consider running the Bohning air vane in a 3 or 4 fletch configuration. Its low profile and only 2" long which is plenty considering you're only using field points.
What spine did you go wt 300. I shoot Easton axis 5mm 340 spine 430 grains 65# 29 inch draw out of my mathews V3X 29. They fly great and are strong arrows. Imo
You do amazing work Chris I love you content bro I saved up a good amount of money for a 16 year old and baught me the phase 4 Matthews you have really gotten me into the sport of archery and there is no regret of getting into it keep on chugging brother love your content👍
I am going to use Bohning Ice vanes on my next arrow build, with a set of Bowfire arrows for 3D. I have allways used Easton Diamond vanes, but wanted to try the Bohning Ice, because of the lower profile. I allways use NPV Saunders glue for my fletchings and I have allways used to clean the vanes with acetone, before I glue them and I very rarely have any to come off. However I don't think they'd stick as well, with that plier test... :-) But for my Bohning Ice vanes - would you say that I don't need to clean them with acetone or maybe that I actually should not clean them - or...??? Anyone some comments on that??
Chris, enjoyed the segment as always! I noticed you were using a straight clamp...so are you setting a 2 degree left offset?.... and is that the same as a 2 degree left helical in a straight Bitzen clamp? Thanks
Chris I love your channel and have been watching for a while would love to support beereal but you don’t make any wraps or vanes in blues could u make some x vanes in blue
Wait, you didn't do a straightness test, or just not on camera? Also, for just the average hunter / shooter, is the whole left and right fletch really make that much of a difference?
My bow just started doing that and they say everything’s good with it must be a Mathew’s thing. And or paired with zebra strings. What vanes tho would you recommend for a 3 fletch setup on my victory rip tko? I’d like to stick with bohning it’s somewhat of a local business
@@charlie-xu4zu you could run a four fletch in the 2.25 x vane. That should control your mechanical. But if your running 3 fletch id run 3 inch x vane..
Hi Chris. I am a big fan from uk. I want to come shoot the tac Utah or tac Colorado. Is there a place on sight for me to pitch a tent or do I need to get accommodation close by? Also how many arrows should I come with. I hope to come next year in may.

Consistency and practice will get you there, brother.

You showed concern for fletching on wrap edge. But do you fletch to the spine alignment marks on the VAP TKO arrows??
I do. But I shoot them. If I see one flying funky I'll nock tune it
@Brock Peck thought everybody did but Chris didn't seem to matter to him. But then again he had .003 arrows. Not that that matters if you use good components and square everything good!
@@toddbolton936 I think Chris has always just fletched them and didnt worry about orientation.
The wraps are actually real nice
Good job Chris you inspire me so much
Those wraps are sweet
5:55 🤣 What I love about boning. Don't we all🥰

I thought soaking in acetone for long periods of time wasn't recommended cause it could soak in and break down the carbon?

@polarbear5996 I've "nicked" carbon before with 0 issues. Nothing stupidly crazy like long shards or anything.
Dang might have just sold me on those vanes! That’s a huge selling point!

And it laterally doesn't matter if it does sit on a seam😂

Does anyone actually know the brand of that overhead light he has? Ive looked for it onlie more than once, unsuccessfully
Put a little of your low melt glue on your field points so they don’t spin loose
that arrow flight was crazy ngl i think your tune is off or wind?
You should do a very full in depth build video of a target bow and arrows
Thanks Chris that was fun to watch

What inserts did you use
Good stuff. What broadhead do you like using for whitetail?
G5 megameat or dead meat
Good Stuff! keep it coming, always a shout out!
Yeah buddy new video time
this man knows how to build an arrow
I run the black sky in a 3 fletch on VF TKO and they’re killer. Victory defiantly wins durability.
Chris I love your channel and have been watching for a while would love to support beereal but you don’t make any wraps or vanes in blues could u make some x vanes in blue
Need to try the podium archer Titanium outsert.
Wait, you didn't do a straightness test, or just not on camera?
Also, for just the average hunter / shooter, is the whole left and right fletch really make that much of a difference?
Dude us average deer hunters don't need all these things, yesbits nice but man save your money
Is that 90/90 fletch?…considering running same vane and wrap configuration on my vap tko’s.
Did you do a left helical or left offset with the heat vanes?
No slither of carbon between the nock and wrap to identify cracks?
Would like to see Gold Tip LRT arrow build and test. Thanks

Bohning 3 inch x vane is a good all around vane. Or a blazer
@@brockpeck7073 I was just about to order some. I shoot mechanicals so they should fly perfect with those. Thank you!
@@charlie-xu4zu you could run a four fletch in the 2.25 x vane. That should control your mechanical. But if your running 3 fletch id run 3 inch x vane..
@@brockpeck7073 4 fletched a rip tko .300 spine cut at 28” which is a little stiff but gosh dang if flys nice with the blazer heat vanes.
What kind of inserts did you use
You should probably use some safety glasses when cutting carbon arrows bro. Be safe. You need your eyes for archery.
Love the videos Chris bee
It always worries me that one of your buddies will come walking in just as you’re letting an arrow go.😱
What exactly kind of Arrows do you use Chris?
VAP TKO 435g overall..
Do you have any wraps for gt 22s
I literally shot through one of my x-vanes today and it didnt even budge. Can confirm they stick
Does anyone know how many grains these wraps weigh?
Can you build them and put them on your website to purchase
Hi Chris. I am a big fan from uk. I want to come shoot the tac Utah or tac Colorado. Is there a place on sight for me to pitch a tent or do I need to get accommodation close by? Also how many arrows should I come with. I hope to come next year in may.
What is your main occupation of income, that would be interesting to know,
how diameter (mm) arrow on video?
I would recommend 3 fletch not 4
How do I get a partnership with Mathew’s
I like “boning” a lot too
Most of your arrows are wobbling pretty bad going out to that target
For TAC I think 3 vanes would be better
I want to buy from eu and I have to pay 90 € for shipping can you do something
Lancaster archery don’t post to European country’s 😢
Can gosee you please
that is not helical . that would be a straight offset
That’s what I was thinking
I am so tired of 2000 dollar bow set ups and $20 arrows .
Go cry about it then I guess lol
I also mess up in life and in general.... !!!!!
