The best quote I saw was when you said to be very mindful of your bow hand. Or in other words your form
I'm currently working through the process now, and quickly found out my form was not even close to being consistent. It doesn't necessarily have to be perfect but CONSISTENT
A little bit of inconsistency in this process will drive you mad because you will be chasing nock all over the place.
@@NobleSavageOutdoors amen
you can see the arrows flight get better as he shots and then regress. nice job good insight into knowing you are affecting some of the tears with your hand torque. You made it look easy
Thank you for the feedback. It honestly wasn't too hard for me but I have seen many people struggle. I would contribute a lot of their struggle to bad shooting technique or bad initial bow setup.
Nice job - thorough.
A wise man once said, "The only way is through."
Thank you for taking the time to show the process.
I'm no expert, but I'm glad I could help show how easy the process can be with a little patience.
I just did the same thing. I’m at 55 lbs. @ 28”, and 300 spine with 200 grains up front was perfect for me as well. I’m gonna find some 250s and keep going to try and get to 550+ and hopefully over 17% FOC. Great video!
That's almost exactly the same setup, and I'm thinking the same thing. I'd like to get just a little heavier. Good luck!
Sirius Archery will build your arrows to a desired weight. I bought 6 650 grain total weight 250 spine arrows cut to the length I need. The arrows/inserts weigh around 450 grain and I use a 200gr broadhead so my total is 650 with 24% FOC. Will either install your inserts/hardware/fletch or they will send you the stuff to do it at home. I had them do it all the last 2 years and they turned out great. Not affiliated with Sirius but they'll be able to get you to whatever weight you want easy.
Good video man. not to be this guy, but. You missed one key ingredient. you moved your rest at the start. Troy has expressed how it is important to start with a square bow and shoot all weights. Find the one that is closest to a bullet hole, nock tune, then make minor adjustments. You took it out of square by moving your rest in the begginging. When I did it I had a weight that was close to a bullet hole from a square bow, and simply by nock tuning the tear went away, bare shaft. Then I fletched, shot paper again. a small little tear, made a micro adjustment to the rest. Money. Looked like you moved yours pretty far. I suppose there are many ways to skin a cat if the end result is the same. But that is what he does because with a square bow, he is able to have a golf bag as he calls it with different weighted arrows that all shoot good from his bow. If you tinker enough and get that 250 spine like you wanted, you may find a super heavy weight that shoots just as good as your 200 grain witht the 300.
Again, not trying to be the nit pick guy. But some people may run into issues moving the rest before shooting all weights. One more example of that. At first, I shot all weights on a 300 and a 250 spine at 70 lbs 29.5 draw length. not a single one shot anywhere near a bullet hole. I emailed him. He said make sure it was square and timing was on. Took it in, turns out the timing was off and the rest was not at zero, or square if you will. Had it adjusted. Did them all again, and boom, 250 spine with 225 was money. Nock tuned, fletched, and the 6 hunting arrows with fixed broadheads and lighted nocks installed,. I had to re-nock tune 3 of those 6. with lighted nocks
i could see a small whip in the arrow, and a couple turns on the nock... Straight as arrow as they say. Something to keep in mind I guess.
Otherwise great video. It is good to see this catching on more and more!!! Shot a doe with this set up this season and on the exit, I hit the off side elbow (point of the Vital V)and broke clean through the bone and still got 10 inches pentration past the exit. Was the thickest part next to the elbow where the bone is round and a little over an inch wide. Just awesome. So had I not hit the bone, I thin kI would have killed the tree behind the deer! HA! Keep spreading the knowledge dude!!!
No problem man. I appreciate the feedback for sure, good or bad. To be honest, I shot all the weights before filming the video to get the kinks out, and 200 grains was the closest to a bullet hole with all the setups tearing up. I knew I needed to move the rest, but you are right I could have done a better job explaining that a starting with a square setup is extremely important. I do plan on eventually getting 250 spine arrows because I think I can add a bit more weight with a stiffer arrow. Thanks for the feedback again and awesome story, the proof is in the results.
New favorite channel! Good stuff, dude. I thought this heavy arrow thing was kind of hokey at first. But it makes so much sense. I listened to a few chuckle heads try to defend lighter faster arrows, and this just compliments modern bows so much better.
Thanks! I appreciate the compliment. I've been incredibly busy recently, but hope to be posting some elk hunting related content soon. I'll be leaving for Wyoming in less than 3 weeks.
Why are you shooting down on a down angle? Shouldn’t you have your bow level shooting straight at the target? Seems to me shooting down through paper would give a false reading for a knock high.
just an observation
The arrow may have nock high with respect to the ground but it is still traveling straight. As long as the point and the nock are traveling through the same point you could shoot the bow straight down, or at an angle through the paper and it doesn't matter, it will still make a bullet hole. If you do not use paper and only check the angle the arrow hits the target (like RF typically does), it would matter but you don't actually need to shoot level with the ground. All you need to do is shoot perpendicular to your target. You can achieve this by either shooting level with the ground, or tilting you target. Hope that makes sense.
@@NobleSavageOutdoorsThanks, it does make sense. From the video it doesn't look like your target is tilted.
Right you only need to keep everything straight if you are not using paper so you can compare how straight the arrow is in the target. Also remember if you don't use paper you have to use a foam target that won't move. If you use paper, it will show you a bullet hole or a tear, so you don't care how straight the arrow looks in the target.
Try shooting level instead of downward
I believe that is a myth.
Love that logo bud
Thanks!
Would be nice to know how much weight you're drawing. (Like, I'm 70 and drawing 40 pounds)
My bow is at like 65 lbs.
@@NobleSavageOutdoors I'm just getting back into archery. I bought a package bow and was sold 300 arrows. They're cut extra long. Tomorrow will buy heavier points. I'm getting right tears. In time I'll screw on more poundage. Thanks for getting back to me. (I should have added that your vid was/is valuable.)
Nock high cause your shooting down should bare shaft level as you can I put mine up on saw horses
I believe this is a myth. Shooting downward does not mean you will have nock high if the the arrow is flying straight. It doesn't matter how you tip the bow up and down, even if I shoot at 45 degree angle through the paper, it will still leave a bullet hole. The only time it will tear is if the nock does not follow the same path as the arrow tip meaning the arrow is flying sideways through the air.
So now your forced to buy 200 grain field tips and 200 grain broadheads?!?! Not very man 200 g broadheads to pick from
Keep watching the series. I use weighted inserts so I can continue using 100 grain field tips and pick from the almost limitless 100 grain broadheads out there. You could also put enough weight on your inserts to use 150 grain field tips and broadheads.
Cutthroat, Tuffhead ,VPA, Bishop, Iron Will, Grizzly Stik, Bone broadheads, Outback, and Alien archery make 200 grain broadheads
What is your bow specs?
What specs do you want to know?
@@NobleSavageOutdoors draw weight and draw legnth
The draw weight is about 60 lbs and my draw length is 28 inches.
@@NobleSavageOutdoors thank you! Great video.
Isn't paper always stationary?!?!🤭🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha nice one!😂
Great video. Seeing the step-by-step of how to go through and actually tune using RF's methods was really helpful. Thanks.
Glad I could help!
