So the only main thing I notice with the helical is that it does better at longer range in the wind. That’s it. For where I hunt where most shots are 40 yards and under, there is really no advantage to the extra helical. But I like to shoot long range for practice and do see a difference then. I use the vane master pro which maxes out at 5° offset and to make the vane contact correctly the jig allows you to helical the vane. But for me it’s just personal preference on the helical vs small offset. And I personally think that the helical helps a slight bit in shooting long range in the wind. And it looks cool! Haha
And I would agree with your reasoning, but for the average hunter watching your video's they will be wasting time and money trying to put a helical fletch on - I'd think you might mention that fact to your viewers. I was impressed with your video overall though - Thanks @@BassBucksOutdoors
@@tonyfrostad2730 not a bad idea. It’s definitely not something that everyone needs to do. My next video is my exact arrow build and I definitely need to address that! Thanks for the input!
They have free plastic versions of the release on their website. You just pay for shipping and they will send you one to try. It’s the normal size so if it’s a little snug, you can upgrade to the large and it will be perfect.
I absolutely love my stainless release. I have always used a wrist release before buying my UV button and will never go back to an inferior release. The problem with the wrist ones is that after a while they have a tendency to stretch a little. With the UV button I will never have to worry about stretch. No other release on the market thats so adjustable.
you appear to be struggling at the end of your draw. have you considered going down in weight? i shot at 75# for a while, but went down to 65#. still blow all the way through a deer.
Definitely wouldn’t hurt. Part of that is me just finessing the bow and not ram into the back wall. 75 lbs as you probably know get a little stiff right before the let off and I’m really just trying to ease onto the back wall instead of dropping into it to hard. 65 lbs is more than enough.
Thanks! Plenty more to come! Just taking a couple weeks trying to break the ice this season. Hopefully will be dropping a filmed hunt very soon. I’m in the Denham springs area. East of Baton Rouge
Awesome review...quality and confidence is always worth the price! Thanks - Go LSU 👍
You got that right! Go tigers! 🤜🏻🤜🏻
Very good review video.
Thank you!
I'm curious as to why your using the helical rather than a 1 to 3 degree offset on your fletches ?

Why did you pick the large size? How did you know to pick that size?

if you cant draw it smoothly to the backwall, you need to go down in #@@BassBucksOutdoors
Liking the videos! Where you from in Louisiana?
