You do a helluva job brother... recently getting back into it from the mid 80s and a massive browning g compound bow .... things have changed EXPONENTIALLY a d you definately make it easier to decipher .... thanks brother I appreciate you !
Great video Jack well done as usual! If you took your screws out and put a little never seize on them you would never have to remove them again! Maybe you want to share that with your followers.

Thanks for the great vids and excellent tips, info, and techniques you present. So much for us beginners to learn, and having a wealth of info at our finger tips because of the effort of folks like you, makes it way easier. I made the mistake of going part way (not too far, just a half inch to maybe 3/4") onto the served areas when i was waxing my bow string just a couple days ago...before watching this video sadly...and now i'm a bit nervous about what may happen. I wiped the areas with a clean dry cloth as best i could. Can i use some alcohol to try and get the wax off, or is it too late for that and perhaps alcohol would be a bad idea?
Hello I wanted to know your opinion on something. I have shot the e35 and love it. What bow from elite would shoot the most like it in the newer ones? I care nothing about speed, just smooth and shootable
I don’t have a pointed nose, some might say it’s even flat lol, but I’ve always felt I need a longer d loop to get it feeling just right. My draw length is 29.5”, and I think with that longer d Loop it would make everything sit just right. What’s your thoughts on d loop length?
Nate, how often should i wax my stings? Is it based on number of shots, 1-2 per season, after every use, etc? I have only been doing this once per season, but not sure how often i should really be doing this. Thanks
Everyone has different thoughts on this. I personally do it like once every 2-3 weeks. I do A TON of shooting obviously. During the season when I'm dragging the bow through God only knows what I'll definitely check it more frequently and maybe wax closer to once a week if the bow has seen inclement weather.
@@h0tkoko My Prime Centergy manual says never back limb bolts out more than 5 full turns. Its draw weight adjustment is 10 lbs. total. So about 2 lbs. per full turn.
Here's a couple questions for ya. My string suppressor rubber on my hoyt maxxis. Then fell off the factory and I need to replace it is it glued on ? or should it just pull off ? Not able to find a hoyt replacement so I bought a bowjax for it yesterday do I just slide the new one on ? Can you help please?
Good, but you missed the most important part of tying in a peep of that type. A clove hitch or constrictor knot (I use clove hitch) around the peep housing and then twice tucked back around the peep. If you do that, then it will never move if done tightly and you don't have to serve above and below. I haven't served above and below in 10 years and have never had a peep move. In fact, this clove hitch is more important than serving because you can still slide your peep around inside there with some force. With the clove hitch, it will not move unless under crazy force that should make you want to check your bow tune anyway (like you dropped it out of a tree or fell hard and jammed the string into mud/rocks/brush). Here's a video from one of the largest peep manufacturers showing the process using a big play peep. ua-cam.com/video/MJxw7anGGbM/v-deo.html
The spin test was so simple and practical...never cease to be amazed at human ingenuity.
Just got my first bow this summer and your channel has been and enormous help to me so far.
Thank you
Thank you. It's a privilege having access to these videos. The peace of mind about bow and archer care is priceless.
i guess Im kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch new tv shows online ?
@Shane Jackson Try Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
@Malcolm Jameson Definitely, I have been using FlixZone for months myself :D
@Malcolm Jameson thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I appreciate it!!
@Shane Jackson happy to help :D

I'd like to beable to care for my own bow....this is awesome....I'd like to learn more!
I'm new to archery, these videos are extremely informative and insightful. Great stuff.
Thank you for using paracord to demonstrate the knots and not just the actual serving material! That really helps.
Very nice Jack!!!! Perhaps if not already, do a video on making your own equipment??????
Thanks Mike from Oregon

I replaced my serving and d loop for the first time tonight!! 😁😁 Super Stoked!! Thanks for the video!!!
I almost spit my coffee out on my bed when you said “Don’t spin a broadhead in you hand.”!
I never would have thought to do a spin test. Thanks for that tip
Any time!

Just leave it!!! It's okay. Once or twice as an accident isn't an issue at all. It's prolonged exposure and working it in.
@@averagejackarchery Good to hear, that puts my mind at ease. Thanks for the reply Nate, much appreciated.

The remedy would be the closest in specs for feel.

@@averagejackarchery is 2 turns equal to 10lbs for all bows?
@@h0tkoko No. Check with the manufacturer's manual.
@@h0tkoko My Prime Centergy manual says never back limb bolts out more than 5 full turns. Its draw weight adjustment is 10 lbs. total. So about 2 lbs. per full turn.
The hardest part of tying a peep is getting rid of the old one. How about a video on that?
So I am right handed as well.. I usually start by looping it behind the string then go up and over when coming back through..
great video
When/how should one decide that it's time to replace dloops/serving/strings&cable?
hart I'm actually working on a video to help answer that!
Average Jack Archery thank you so much!

1. Useful, definitely need to know that.
2. I have no need for it.
3. I 86'd the peeps.
4. Got me a draw weight scale.
5. I just use my chapstick.
What’s a backserve for
Can one over wax his or her string. If I shoot a couple of hours I will wax mine every couple of days.

Yup just slide a new one on. If the original is glued you'll have to cut that off but they're built to just pop off and on usually.
@@averagejackarchery thanks for the help
Thanks! This is awesome
I'm beginner at compound bow, do I need to loose or remove the string when I keep it for a couple of months?
Nope! Doesn't have to take off like a recurve when not in use.

Tim Gilingham has a nice way to tie in a peep that will keep your peep from not moving. Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/cv6x4l3k2V4/v-deo.html
Bonus Bonus Tip: I use my blow dryer when I wax my strings-I mean my wifes blow dryer!
Um, your inside today. 😳
