    Dan's effort to find a great arrow is fun and instructive. The Hooter Shooter is an interesting contraption, but I am not a big fan of how it leaves the bow flailing around after the string is released. The "Rocket Man" gentleman who is commonly featured on Ranch Fairy and Hunting Public videos is an intelligent human. In one of their tests, they discovered diminishing returns when increasing the helical percentage. Fascinating. Archery is the best pastime - by far.

    Distance in feet divided by velocity in feet per second
    50 yards is 150'
    150'÷280fps =.53 second flight time
    150'÷180fps =.83
    This doesn't account for drag coefficient but it's really close

    Two ElkShape ABT videos in a row for me. The switch out to an Ultra View and longer sight tape and then this one.
    I want to build my own arrows this year to go with newish Prime Black 3, that I got last August for $650. This will be the first season using it. It’s set at 65 lbs and a 29.5 inch draw. My current arrows are Carbon Xpress Mayhem SDS from the factory. The arrows are 511 grain with a 45 grain outsert and 100 grain head. They’re 11.25 gpi. I am actually looking at those Victory RIP TKO Gamer or Elites in 300 spine which is 8.8 gpi. My cousin uses the GT Black Label Quantum which are similar gpi and I want something similar yet different to compare notes. So the Victory RIPs look like a great option. I want to get my arrows in the 475-525 grain range with a lighted nock. Probably close to the 495 grain total weight. So with a 29 inch arrow I need to put 200 grains up front. I should be close to that 15% FOC mark.
    I did look at those exact Easton arrows and since most 4mm components suck, I decided to stick with 5mm.
    Side note 📝 my 36 year old brother still has Magic cards and plays Dungeons and Dragons, when he can since he has a 5 year old daughter. Which comes first always.

    Just measure FPS of two arrows, have a set distance and solve for time. You don’t need anything expensive besides a chronograph. As long as you have speed and distance, you can figure the time it took to go any distance.

    • @josephr1198

      Works in theory, in practice you gotta account for drag/air resistance. Faster arrow will have more drag.
      Easiest way to do it would probably be via camera then overlaying the footage, going by sound would be less accurate since sounds got to travel back.

    I would love to see a video on like a 550 grain arrow that has a very low foc like 11 or whatever, and a 550 grain arrow with a super high foc like 19/20 and see the speed degration if there is any, penetration difference, groupings. I shoot the 250 orions with the SS, insert and outsert by ethics, with a iron will broadhead and Tac vanes, 3 fletch. Total arrow weight is around 636, 637. 380 grains upfront, With 25.2 percent foc, which is what I’m getting from gold tip. Super high weight and foc, and I tinkered with a bunch of stuff and built the lightest arrow shaft and put as much weight in the front as I could, while still being able to shoot 100 yards, for a follow up shot or something on elk which is what this arrow is for and my groups at 100 shrunk a couple inches. The arrow is flying slow but I can still reach 100 yards and a little farther with 71 pounds 28 inch draw. Abt!!

    When I first started hunting back in late 90s I used some Bemam micro diameter arrows. I remember they shot flat and they were very accurate, and I got several pass throughs on deer and elk. The only problem was that the arrow used an outsert system that was garbage. They would bend when shooting the compressed carpet targets at my local range. They would regularly come off in the target when removing arrow. They where hard as hell to broadhead tune. I used them for about 3 years. Still not over it. I would be willing to switch back some day when MFJJ says there are like so many great options for insert/outserts and broadheads work great too.

    For flight time measurement. Shoot slomo video, some phone cameras do 1920fps and 960fps is pretty common. Use static lighted nock, count the frames from launch to impact and you have the flight time.

    For recording flighttime on a budget i would rig up a light next to the target that goes on when you press the trigger of a hooter shooter and film that + the point of impact. By counting the amount of frames between the light going on an the arrow hitting you could get some pretty accurate readings, especially with a camera doing thousends of frames

    My thoughts are if you aren’t getting pass through with 5mm you need to take a step back and we work your whole set up. A good penetrating arrow starts off with a really sharp fixed blade broadhead. In my opinion 16-20%foc is optimal. 550 grains with a fixed broadhead and around 16% foc is a killer

  • @ScuffedEngineer

    Time of flight device(s). Buy/ Build a pressure sensor, if you can figure out how to hook it up even a retail scale could work, and attach it to a block target. The pressure sensor works as a switch in an IoT device (i.e. argon kit, they give personal uses 100 devices worth of free cellular last I heard). The code is looking for the scale to give a reading and it stops the timer, given this it could probably also be set up for impulse time if you really cared about it? On the bow side of things, find a place to put some switch that lets it know that it's been shot, the mechanical shooter would be handy in this situation and hook it up to another IoT device and once the switch is hit, it starts a timer. Wouldn't look pretty, but could probably be accomplished for $200.

    I’d think the easiest and cheapest way would be to have a very fast microphone at both the bow and target. If you try and do it just from the bow or target you will have some error due to the speed of sound at varying air densities and pressures. The next best way would to use a light system similar to a chrono or trap at a drag strip but I’m sure the cost would be much much more

    I've found I really prefer a regular insert. I shoot my standard size Vforce, VF TKO, and Easton 6.5 arrows at 100 plus for practice and 3d shoots and really can't find a need for a skinnier arrow with finicky components. I tried 204 arrows and didn't like halfouts or insert/sleeve setups, and I tried VAP SS, which were nice, but had front end components bending after a bit of practice with them.
    For hunting distances I don't see the "wind cutting" smaller diameter mattering much, since both size shafts would still have a big broadhead and big fletchings, and a broadhead makes a bigger hole than the arrow shaft, so no real world advantage there either.

    Brandon McDonald did a very good comparison video comparing time to impact between different arrow weights. The time to impact proved insignificant between weights. However, trajectory to target was the major issue. Listen to the podcast Brandon McDonald did with Pedro from Stag Culture regarding arrows. A different perspective from the "fairy". Trajectory and good arrow flight seems more important than momentum in the real world hunting scenarios. Penetration is usually not a problem even with lighter arrows with proper tune. Also, arrow noise seems to be a critical factor as only the animal that is arrow is intended for tends to react in a herd situation...this is certainly a rabbit hole...
    Thanks for this video. I am seriously considering the Easton 4mm axis...however with ethics outserts and stainless collars for my moose arrows.

    You can use x-impacts with nexxus 75gr titanium outsert/collars with a little tinkering. I use 250 spine x- impacts, sand off a tiny amount off the top so that the 350 size nexxus titanium collar will slide on. It's a tiny bit smaller than the x impacts so that's why you need to sand a small amount. Use boning cool melt Glue. Sand the inside of the Shaft and clean it. Using the cool melt Glue will allow you to tune the Inserts after installation so they spin true. If you don't like them you can boil water, stick them in it for 3-5 seconds and use pliers to pull it off. Super easy just time consuming.

    For Josh, and Easton if they'd listen. ANY inital bend or eccentricity, .001 .0001, in shaft OR nock OR insert, will have much greater effect on the dynamic spine at launch than spine consistency around the shaft. If there's clear stiff seam it can dominate, but if there's any bend in the system the end result of nock tuning will be a combination. So even if Eastons react to nock tuning it doesn't mean their claims of spine consistency isn't true.

      With the 4mm Easton axis at 420 grains this past September, I was able to harvest my first bull elk at 30 yards. Was a good pass through, he only went 50 yards.

    Have you tried the Steel F.O.C.U.S. system on the Axis 4mm? The 250 FOCUS system almost fits the 300 4MM Axis. You have to shave .001 off the Axis to fit properly. I have really liked this set up. Puts me at 536gr elk arrow.

    I love the the Victory Vap TKO 4mm I just wish they would come with a stronger outsert system. I’ve had good luck on game and shot my first elk with one but you will soon get a wobble with those longer aluminum ones they use. and yes I have used the Easton Titanium 55 grain but on a big hog I shot it blew through but on the recovery of the arrow it split the sidewall on the arrow. The Titanium sits flush to the arrow and on hard hits will split the sidewall. Just my experience.

      @Tech Stuf The issue I was having with the Titanium by Easton that it sit flush so once you put a broadhead either fixed or mechanical it made such a longer system on the end that worked as a leverage that on certain hits it would split them. Not always but ruined a few.

    I know the FOC benefits. But please ABT with some Victory Xtorsions with HIT inserts. By far the toughest and best arrow I’ve used. I’d put pigs equal or above elk in toughness because of the compact frame and I have an arrow right now I’ve looked for on 3 occasions. I’m going back with a metal detector to try and find it.

    Have you heard of using firenock’s PAPS spin finding system? They say to use it to find a true national spine of the arrow. It uses weights and high frequency and low energy vibration to find it. I would assume you could figure out Eatons spins that way wen building them.

    So what is y’all opinion on the new swacker technology??? Not the actual mechanical broadhead itself, but the idea of the arrow having the male threads and the female threads being in the broadhead itself… that would give you an option to do what I’d call a fixed insert-outsert system where there could be a collar for the outside that is permanently attached to a male threaded post that goes into the shaft… would be durable as crap!!!

  • @AlexTroska

    Something to think about. I don't know which vane you were shooting, but in one of the clips the back of the arrow was spinning in a circle. Ranch Fairy's latest video he talks about how more helical on the back can contribute to that when the front of the arrow isn't super heavy. Rocket man stuff.

    You need a broadhead on the front of that hunting arrow. I honestly don't know how much a 4mm arrow will help with a 3 & 4 blade broadhead either. Maybe with a 2 blade it might help ?. I can't imagine there is a big enough difference between 4 5 or mm arrows with a broadhead on. White tail it definitely doesn't matter. I'm not a elk hunter. But damn it I wish I was
