Thanks for sharing your knowledge and journey guys. Sing out if you come to NZ, bring the bow, happy hunting ❤ you'll need more than 12 arrows for the zombie apocalypse mate!! 😂
No doubt, I'm from Michigan and just stumbled upon it 2 days ago visiting here in Texas. You should see the 3d indoor range and 50 yard indoor range. It's awesome
I just got my V3x from him today, and I bought my Hoyt from Joey last year. Good place! Today was sighting in my bow and it was easy to do. In my opinion the V3x is definitely lighter; I have tight groups.
Much more knowledgeable archery tech in this video, well done. Congrats on buying a great bow and beginning your archery journey, there is nothing like it!
Looking forward to some more kayak fishing Texas coast and now bow hunting videos, two of my favorite things in life. Love the Mathews bows, hope to get a V3X next year
Think I’m gonna get the VXR this weekend. Currently have Halon32 5 and it’s awesome. I know I’m gonna regret trading it in which is why I’ve hesitated for this long. Went to shop again last week and shot the VXR again, and RX5. RX5 is freakin amazing when you’re actually looking at with your own eyes. But I can’t justify that price tag. Anyways I’ve had my heart set on the VXR since it was released. And I’m getting it. Then I’m gonna get a YZ250 cuz I’ve been without that for two years and it’s way too long for me.

I would suggest looking into tuning your arrows, too. Something that is very overlooked, but when you do it right, all your arrows react the same off the string. Bare shaft tuning at 21 feet through paper will give you the best readings.
You have found yourself a good bow technician! I get the feeling this guy is honest and trustworthy, no BS out of his mouth the whole time. Shady techs are the reason I've acquired my own equipment and do all my own tuning and setup. Very nice video man!
I’ve been shooting bows for almost 50 years. Any salesman who would talk a beginning archer into buying .001” tolerance arrows is just gouging for profit. 99% of people shooting compound bows could NEVER see a difference in accuracy between these and .006” straightness arrows which are significantly less money. I will say that a lot of his advice here is good however. I wish I could have seen where Nicks nock valley was relative to the corner of his mouth at full draw. I assume this tech did it right, but I’ve seen guys sell newbies bows that were WAY OFF just to make a sale.
@@RXAngler I enjoy your videos and respect your fishing abilities and your drone abilities! I didn’t mean to sound too negative about your bow technician but couldn’t resist commenting on the arrow tolerances. I hope I was not offensive.
Rob, can't speak for Mr RX Angler (maybe he can fill us in on his experience) but I do know all the guys down there at Texas Archery and have for the last 4 years. Been in the shop many times and shot the 3D shoot there many times. In my experience, they will sell you what you are looking for and give you options. Just bought the V3 about 4 weeks ago from them. They could have sold RX Angler a Mission Craze with .006 arrows but I would guarantee you his beginner archery experience would not have been as uplifting as it is with top of the line tackle. I would think that Raymond gave RX Angler options and made suggestions and that's the direction RX Angler went with based on what he wanted and could afford. Besides, that, he has over 25k subscribers and being that I have about 2.5K subscribers and I made enough money on my channel to pay for my new V3 bow in a years time, I would guess it took him about 2 weeks for his channel to pay for his bow and his entire set-up. All the best.
I bow hunted 20 years ago here in Northern Va. Man the equipment has really elevated. But I commend you for not just going willy nilly and heading out to the woods and wounding a precious animal only to never find it. Have 200% confidence when you let that arrow go. And shoot for a quick kill. !
I’ve never fletched a blazer on ANY of my arrows after trying the AAE stealths. I have boxes of blazers about to find a new home in the landfill. Also, victory VAP TKOs are a WAY better arrow than a axis. Don’t believe me? Try them yourself and you’ll never go back, I promise you.
It’s a great bow that spits out some great numbers. You will be happy with it. I’ve been enjoying it since I bought it. I would advise to go with a solid color instead of camo.
I love mine. Had shoulder surgery and when I finally got to shoot it. I had to have help drawing back. Safest was was just to release the arrow and there was no movement on my bow arm and that is the I had surgery on. Dead in hand no vibration and I can everything with that arm.
My asian brother from another mother. Here is a recommendation for you to help you out. 1) Install a kisser button so you have definite anchor point until you’re a bit more seasoned. 2) Your left grip hand - relax it more and make sure it settles in the same spot all the time you (same thing as your right hand anchor point. 3) Your peep sight - get the closest size so it almost the same size as your sight window at full draw. Imagine 2 circles that pretty much overlaps or at close as possible. (Stop closing one eye when shooting - leave both eyes open) There are also lenses on peeps to help clarify your shot. 4) Start practicing more with back tension to fire your shot, instead of using your fingers & hand. Archery is all about form and that also includes your eyes as well. Enjoy and let her fly!
Speed is over rated. I just went from a 475gr arrow 12% FOC with a mechanical and never got the consistent results. Had better with fixed. Best so far was with the Magnus Stinger. Last season practically bounced the arrow off a buck never found him or the arrow. Made me sick to my stomach. So I had shoulder surgery in Nov 2020 so didn’t get to hunt the rest of the season. The down time helped me in more ways than one. I was able to run into the Ranch Fairy on UA-cam and point me in the right direction and research more on the history of archery. My new setup is Victory VAP SS Elite 300spine .166 diameter.With Ethics insert outserts and a 125gr Cuthroat single bevel. Total arrow weight is 567gr. 20%FOC. My bow is the Mathews V3 31 55# dw, 28.5dl. It is shooting bullets. 99% of my shots are within 30yds. Also the heavier arrow will quiet your bow down. I want to make sure I can do the animal justice put him out of their misery as quick as possible. Watch the Ranch Fairy and anything Dr. Ashby. Very informative.
Welcome to the Texas Archery family! I've been going there for a year now and always have an excellent time at their facility! But the staff REALLY makes it. Raymond especially, but Joey and Richard are phenomenal help too. Raymond spent a whole morning with me building my VXR when I bought it. I try to go every week and shoot. Raymond also will throw my bow on his press and vice to check timing of everything every 3 to 4 weeks or so. Youll never go to another bow shop again.
I have an 8” stabilizer in front and a 6” stabilizer for the rear. I have found an improvement with balance and a little better groupings with this new setup.
Did he seriously suggest his arrow was so heavy he could only shoot out to 40 yards lol my hunting arrow is 672 and i shoot 80 yards at my range all the time
Great video! All I can say is to keep trying new things. I have shot goldtip, Easton, day six, and victory. Right now I have the victory rip tkos with an annihilator 100g head and ethics archery spinning insert at 65.1g. Also, I am shooting AAE stealth max vanes with the right helical from Arizona ez fletch mini max. I have shot all different types of vane degree as well as different vanes from other companies. But for me, more spin was better for grouping out to 100yds with the V3 27. I also cut my arrows just past my hamskea rest about a half inch. This will help with foc and get a little more weight out of the arrow. I’ve never had a broadhead hit my riser or cut my finger. I feel this guy did a good job but could have been done a little better.
@@RXAngler Lots to learn! Don’t be afraid to try things yourself. I always felt I needed to go to a bow shop to get things done until I learned to start investing in my own equipment! Replacing vanes is very simple and that’s how I was able to try so many different set ups.
@@RXAngler blazers are great there just on the louder side for a vane. I'm a fan of blazers good all around. Whats better to me maybe different for someone else. I do like aae max stealth and fusion vanes. Recently trying easton boattail
@@brockpeck7073 about the only thing I would ever consider using blazer vanes on would be my 3D arrows. Maybe. That way I know it’s me missing and not the animals ducking my noisy vanes. 😄
I did. I know some people say they can’t tell a difference, but I noticed a much better draw between my vxr 28 and v3 31. Obviously the longer ata plays a factor, but I like the v3 31 much better

I wish FL had archery shops LOL
That has got to be the coolest bow shop on the inside that I’ve ever seen
I agree! Everything speaks to high quality and knowledge of the sport. You're not going to have some flunkies working on your equipment.
It’s the ritziest bow shop in the greater Houston area.
No doubt, I'm from Michigan and just stumbled upon it 2 days ago visiting here in Texas. You should see the 3d indoor range and 50 yard indoor range. It's awesome
@@miles02000 I can just imagine how cool it is. Doesn't look like any expense was spared anywhere.
That’s my favorite bow shop in Houston by far
Thanks for the lesson. Wish I had Raymond here, Awesome video
Great video. New subscriber.
If you ever want to shoot, let’s roll! I always enjoy putting down arrows down range with any fellow hunter - novice or expert. Hit me up!
I like a wobbly arrow, I use the wobble to my advantage.
That shop looks phenomenal!!! You better take then dudes some donuts every now and then to keep them in your good graces lmao

Try left helical with a left offset and Tac Vanes.
His comment about blazer vanes being quiet told me everything I needed to know about this video. Because blazer vanes are NOT quiet.
Would be much better for you to actually have him explain what FOC is. Not just what it does.
Best bow shop in Houston area for sure
🤘
Is that a bullet hole consistent or just shot one that’s it
