There's so much to arrows to where it's actually like going down a rabbit hole. If you're someone like me who has yet to put an arrow through a deer, do not sweat on the whole concept of arrows. First and foremost you need to find and be within shooting range of a deer which could require more time and energy than ensuring your arrows are flying like laser beams. We all need to prioritize and execute the right steps to fill a tag. Use your gut instinct on selecting your arrow and broadhead set up.
Obenaufs leather oil and Obenaufs leather cleaning products work amazing. Get a good horsehair brush to go along with your cleaning kit. You have to reapply oils to your leather to keep it from cracking.
If you’re dealing with broadheads, yes straighter is better. If you’re screwing in a field point, you’ll never notice the difference between .001 vs .003 vs .006 unless you’re a robot.
Thanks for educating me on this. I just started fletching. I have the bitzenberg and I was going to buy a arrow spinner but I’m like well I want to shoot all 12 of my arrows lol. So I just numbered them and took the one I thought shot better and put them aside for hunting. But honestly they all shot pretty good,. Just Easton axis 340. 25 grain outsert with a 100 grain tip. I’m not doing the heavy arrow thing. That’s just to much. I can kill a deer with a rage and a hit insert.
To say that straightness doesn’t matter period is a little overplayed. It might not be as important as people want you to believe, and think it becomes a little more important for people buying fletched shafts to be cut down from one end. I’d like to hear the theories chad has to say arrow straightness doesn’t matter but broadhead blade orientation does.
When I first started Archery a year ago I left by bow sighted in doesn't matter what the wind or rain does or my arrow isn't straight you just adapt your shooting style to what life throws at you. Moved onto traditional Timber creek cottonmouth 2 hybrid bow is my new bow.
Set the tires up tubeless and run sealant. Plenty of resources on the web. Learn to adjust derailleurs. It's easy, but you spend enough time learning about your archery setups, so learn the bike if you're going to rely on it.
There are two items I would like to turn you guys on to that I have used extensively. "Stans No Tubes" for all your flat tires on your bikes. "Neatsfoot Oil by Fiebings" is the best for you leather boots durability...DONT use the boot creams! Use the saddle soap to wash boots if you want them clean. Thank you for great content.
In my experimenting, I shoot a .246 dia. and .005 straightness arrow and have not noticed the difference to the .001 arrows. The biggest gain I did get was from adding weight (foc) and arrow weight to just over 500 gr. and my grouping improved out to my effective whitetail range.
I buy .003's, and cut the wobble ends off. I don't care if my stickers don't line up. Spine consistency from arrow to arrow in a set is more important than "straightness". Lastly, nobody lies more in their marketing than carbon express.
My biggest issues with ebikes is always going to be access. Ebikes force you to become predictable in many circumstances. Walking allows you to take better access points where a bike isn’t going to go. The only real reason I see to have one is to access deep into a large property where you’ll leave it and finish your access on foot.
I have to really disagree arrow straightness is very important to get your broadheads to spin straight if you shoot a solid fixed blade that's not spinning straight it will be all over the place also I've always been told arrows are measured at 28inchs when it comes to straightness
Y’know I kinda figured. 3k to 1k of an inch just seems so marginal of a thing for something that is violently slung down range. Thanks for saving me money haha.
Hmmm, watched a couple of these videos and am curious if you’re gonna do anything beyond make assertions. Also, you might want to learn how to properly fire your thumb release which might help your arrow flight. FYI, a porterhouse and a cubed steak from the same cow should cost the same according to your, ummm, well I can’t exactly call it logic, but…..
Could have saved you a lot of time. If you can't adjust your arrow rest to the .005", how can you know that it's your arrows? Wait for a gearbox E-bike. Gearboxes are on the way. For that application, gearbox is the way to go. They have to fight for space with the motor at the bottom bracket. Your chain is based on derailleur tension. You might need a clutch derailleur if you bought a cheap spec that doesn't have one.
Great video. The declaration regarding arrow straightness wasn't well-supported - meaning that it wasn't substantially upheld by evidence or facts. Contact the DIY Sportsman channel and have him put together a research effort - then make your declarations. One guy experimenting with arrows and FOC is not decisive or convincing.
Just talked with Garret yesterday! As I mentioned, there’s much more to arrows than what can be presented in 5 minutes however we should have some much more in depth content around the topic coming soon.
Man all this arrow talk with people caring about FOC and what not kills me. I grab a half dozen arrows, sight my bow in for those arrows, and go kill several deer every year. Not once ever cared about total grains or FOC or any of that stuff. Another good episode though!
So you've never had an arrow bounce off of a shoulder or something because you've made a bad shot? And you're saying that you just pick up 6 arrows and they all fly the exact same? If that's the case then you're the luckiest man on earth
@@mikeguy9668 Not even close to what i am saying. Ill buy a half dozen arrows and it doesnt matter to me one bit what the total weight is or anything like that. And no, Ive never had an arrow bounce off a front shoulder because im not trying to put it that close to the shoulder.
@@adammiller4595 the vitals are forward. On top of that everyone makes bad shots every once in a while. Nevermind man, you sound like a poser or at least an newbie

Love the arrow straightness discussion!! Thanks

Love my Aventon Ebike. I have a bad back and nerve damage and that bike is a God send.
If you use an E-Bike in Ohio, the ODNR would probably give you a ticket for "road hunting". 😂
Great video!
Got to be careful!

· Dubbin for your boots, man.
They been selling Dubbin for over 100 years BECAUSE IT WORKS.

You have to shoot every single one of your arrows to see which ones fly straight. pick the best ones and roll with it
The phrase “smash that subscribe button” should also be banned! 🤣 I find it very cheesy lol
😂 I agree 💯! I’m going to throw in a big BUT….. with a call to action the analytics tell us people are much more likely to subscribe 🤷🏿♂️

An E-bike might have its purpose along farm fields, but it wouldn't make it 100 yards into my deer woods.
