Getting a site tape that goes to 150 isnt that hard. Hitting the Target at that distance is! I go through my 2021 TAC setup, what I like, and what I dont like.
Brandon nice choice this year going with Hoyt ! You’re really turning it into a target bowl with all them stabilizers take them off the smaller ones thanks for the video

Was wondering why dont you use regular inserts and play with different field point weights? Im planning to build this same one but was going to add 150 grains in the front as well (im lucky with a 27” draw). Should i be concerned in using a regular insert and field point or should i stick to the target glue in points?
You mentioned your Cutter Stabilizers but unfortunately can't SEE the Quick Disconnect system you are using on your Ventum 33. I run the same bow and I'm interested what you used to make these Bars hook up Thanks 😊
Enjoyed listening to your " learning curve" story. I guess a fellow can't foresee all the issues that might arise on a new adventure. I'm a little OCD when it comes to being prepared and my son says it's looks like I'm taking our entire bow workroom with us. Now for me I'm pretty sure I would take two dozen ready arrows to a TAC event. I'm not a long range shooter like so many seem to be. I don't practice much above 60 yards as I would only shoot at coyotes or wild pigs. Of coarse, if I were planning an elk hunt that would be different. I just see why TAC deems it necessary to have so many ridiculously long shots other than just for fun stuff. 👍👍🏹👀
I have used the app " Tapes" for years on many bow/arrow combinations. It doesn't require a bunch of hard to get measurements. Tried that app a few times and it's too much trouble. The " Tapes" app needs two marks for distance. Naturally, the gap needs to be as spaced out as YOU can reliably shoot. Like a 20 yard to 80 yard is better than 20 to 50. It's a ballistic application and theoretically about any gap should work. Really need a quality printer with multiple ink colors. Print out on self stick mailing labels that come on a sheet that will feed thru the printer.
on another note when you bare shaft tuned did you totally disregard the spine alignment mark?? legitimate question because I'm thinking about changing from axis match grade to victory SS
What are your thoughts on TAC in Tennessee? I live in SC and will be driving there (2022 event) with a couple of buddies for the first time shooting a TAC event.
How are you finding the "torque rings" on the AV41? Are they helpful, indifferent? Waiting on my carbon pro Landslyde 3 pin .010 to come in. As far as the Picatinny, I think they generally, even on rifle scopes, have a settle in period. .001 accuracy should be spot on bit remember a human hair is .003~ so any dirt or dust on the mating surfaces will throw it off. Keep up the great work 👍
I find them helpful for a different reason. Aperture of the peep can be smaller to start so as I slide all the way down the outer ring still fills the peep. Black gold ring is barely visible at home base setting and starts to get light around it when it’s way down.
I will only buy Easton arrows. Not knocking the quality of other manufacturers. I would rather just support American Made whenever possible. Victory and Black Eagle need to get their shit together and set up shop back home.
This is a legit take. I haven’t looked into the sourced raw material yet, but I will at some point. I think we will see a swing back to manufacturing in the US in the next 20 years. Or, at least I hope we do.
Yeah! It’s been fun seeing what I like and don’t like out in the field. This TAC season was tough for me but I learned a lot about what I like and don’t like about a setup.
I’ve been trying to find a sight with two indicators so that (as in your example) one would indicate 20 and one 60. That way you have specific yard by yard marks from 20-150. Any ideas, or can a second indicator be added to this sight?
That sight has 2 complete independent adjustable indicators. One of the reasons I put one on order. Also metal sight tape mounts so you can switch between arrows.
Going yard by yard from 20 to 150 yard by yard, will most likely be impossible. But this axcel is an option. Black Gold have independent markers as well.
Of all the UA-cam stick flickers I met today in Big Sky, you were missed. Randy Newberg, Elk101 bros, John Barklow, and I got to thank John Dudley for everything he's taught me. I owe all of you a beer for the amount of entertainment provided alone. I love all rig rundowns, especially the honesty of yours. Is it wrong that I'm still on my first bow setup after 2 years? I look at my bow setup as flawless and ALL impact inconsistentcies are my form and release hickups. Fuck an IPA.. my wife bought some on accident here when we landed.. Cold Smoke Scotch Ale tall boys are the clear winner here in town.
I wish I would have made that shoot too. Lots of really cool people there. Maybe next year. Old Chubb was one of my favorite beers for a while so I get you on the scotch ales.
Were the angles of the shots too severe for your rangefinder's angle compensation? I'm curious about the need for a cut chart when you have the ARC rangefinder.
I think it struggles after 10 degrees from what I’m reading. So the 25-30 on some were an issue. The newer rx4 has archers advantage built in so you can input your specs. That’s what I really want!
SS Victory review here I'm not happy with these. Shooting a Ventum 33 with 550 gr.SS. I pulled my last shot of the day and the arrow stuck a cherry tree at 90 yards and I found the back end, vane end, laying about a foot away from the shaft. Brand Spanking New! Then I shot into a piece of plywood, that one broke in half flying 10' away. Then I was bragging how tough these arrows were comparing with a TKO together and the SS cracked and the TKO was just fine. Done with them! Ordered up a set of Day 6 HD 275's.
Ive tested the Val elites and tkos but not the ss yet. Excited to run them through my process of destroying arrows. The day6 inserts are way tougher. I don’t think I’ve had any other arrows as long as my 275 spine Day6. Shot 4 animals last year with the same arrow.
@@brandonmcdonald6121 I'm looking forward to see that test, but I believe it will be a short test till you see for yourself. 600 gains with FOC over 15%, hard impact, I would be leary of shooting them again. That's why I put them away and not even 2 months old. I have to add These were 300 Elites recommended by my Pro shop, that could be the issue???
The Leupold FullDraw 3 has angle compensation, so you shouldn't need a cut chart unless you're using it in LOS mode. Since you use Archers Advantage, you should look at the FullDraw 4 because it allows you to enter your data into the rangefinder for peak height of arrow, maybe some other cool things.
It does but it’s not perfect past 10-15 degrees at longer distances. That said, I’m going to just trust it on day 1 and see how it does. I’ll bring my chart for the harder courses day 2 and 3 if it seems like I’m consistently off up and down.
@@brandonmcdonald6121 That's interesting. I didn't know that. Vortex claims they can handle angles up to +/- 60-degrees. It would be interesting to make a video testing out a few of the popular range finders to see how they compare to cut charts.
So, anything on picatinny it's all about installing it the same way each time. On a rifle, you push it forward into the slot so that the rearward recoil doesn't let the sight slide forward. Your bow probably jumps forward. And the picatinny is perpendicular to that motion. So just pick between pushing the pic rail either up or down, and push it while you cinch your bolt. If you wanna take it to the extreme, torque it to the same torque value each reassembly.
It would be interesting to know average group sizes out to the 100 yard mark and beyond. How far can an average to above-average shooter shoot at, or below, the inch-per-10 yard standard? Good luck this fall and thank you for the fine content.
@@robstofberg1 he isn't average haha, but for him that's standard. The days I hit a 5" group with one flyer I'm ecstatic I hope to make that more of a consistent thing this year.
@@the_sharp_carpenter the 4th arrow wasn’t a flyer . He called it, so he knew It was a less than good shot (I.e. execution error). His group was therefore the size of the four arrows. You can’t just discount your bad shots. How well you shoot is the sum of good and bad shots.
@@thomasstanworth okay, if that's how you want to look at it, it was a 5" group with 25% variance. So who shoots better someone with an open 5" group, or someone with 3 arrows touching and one arrow turning the rest into a 5" group? Personally I'd rather be the guy that can call a bad shot (which wasn't really bad at 101) and be able to correct it on the next shot. Not arguing, just enjoying an interesting conversation.
Haha. Ive got bohnings in there. I’d like to run the ones that come on the Day6 arrows. Not sure what brand those are off hand but they’re super solid. Make a lot of sense the way they’re made.
@@brandonmcdonald6121 I called day six and from what they said the have the older style aae nocks, the ones I got from aae are a little different from day six but design is almost the same
I just fletched some of the nexus arrows up with those same fletchings excited to try them I’ve used the heat vanes the AAE 26 and 23 hybrids and the hunter pro vanes also as well as blazer vanes I’ve went back and forth between 3 and 4 fletch right and left helical and I have decided on nothing have made minimal progress and often feel defeated….. I love archery 😐
Hahaha! That’s how it goes! I fletch two or three of each configuration and then go back to 80 yards to see how the groups are doing and which ones seem to be the most forgiving. I can’t really tell the difference until I get past 50 yards
@@brandonmcdonald6121 I notice more of a difference between day to day shooting than switching vanes I shoot like a pro some days and other days not so much I still shoot groups but my zero will be off I won’t move anything I’ll come back in a day or two and boom back to normal no changes I want someone to do a speed video between 3-4 fletch set ups also straight vs helical and offset I had some arrows made up with some nasty left helical vanes big huge x vanes and it killed my speed shot the same groups but I want to know where you really start to affect speed with the fletchings
I only lost 1 legit arrow. The other 3 was because I didn’t reset my scope from the last hold. I could tell my brain wasn’t working because I did that three times the first day!
The victory’s are nice arrows! I felt guilty about going away from the Easton axis, been shooting those since they came out. But, the RIP TKO’s and the VF are sweet.
V-force are a very durable, straight and affordable hunting shafts, and heavy enough that you can build a serious arrow with it. A great stock arrow for hunting. But I dig CBx Predators as a cheap all round shaft too, and many Easton shafts (especially bloodlines for 3D in windy conditions). Basically I love shooting everything.
At 31" draw with my 2021 ventum 33 it's 7 feet faster than my Matthew's 31.5. Because of an old torn labrum ( surgery 2001) I've had to turn lb down to 62.5. It still slings 500g arrow 272 fps. I'll retire shooting the 33 unless something really better shows up. I'm shooting my first 3D 12th in Rome GA at 75 I hope. I'm sticking with my elk set up 500g. Every thought about using the old midevel torture wheel to stretch your draw back to 30 " after mfjj reduced it and your pride 😳
Hahaha, he did hurt my pride… always liked being a 30” draw, but 29 and 3/4 has tightened my groups up noticeably. I’ll just have to settle for 3 fps slower!
Im curious about this sight, I'm not familiar with it. I've always shot pins & I've never had issue...until lately. I'm 60 & starting to have problems "seeing" targets 50+ yds. My son & I shot San Antonio in April (I drove he lives there) and then we flew to Glenwood Springs a week ago. That was the first time I flew with my bow. 🤦♀️😄I'm embarrassed to admit how stressed that made me...I've been shooting 30+ years..once my bow is set..son, it's SET..I don't mess with it. All my stuff stays together. It freaked me out separating everything. I hunt the same setup I shoot targets indoor/outdoor. I have a Mathews Chill, had it for 6yrs & I love it. I tried a new sight to get more distance.. hated it. Went back to old one. Pretty spot on out to 45-50 but beyond that l had to use WAG. I know I could've shot better so feel like it's time for an upgrade. Do you think this would benefit this Grandma?
If you want to stretch out farther than 50 a slider site is nice. I like .010 pins for the last 2 pins in a 5 pin site so they blow out less. Also, if vision is becoming an issue look into “clarifiers” and “verifiers” they’re like glasses that fit in your peep.
@@brandonmcdonald6121 shiiiiiite. Still got my photo gear. Throw in a reflector opposite the key light and you got some cheap fill over there. Good info here. Thanks for what you’re doing.
Yup I've blown many a victory arrow upyself from 3dhv all the way up to the vap ss(complete junk). I'll stick with my 5mm Easton axis or my day six all day long. Although I'm.on the hunt for a cheaper arrow build. Really hate when you loose an arrow and it costs 25 dollars a pop.
Why bother with so much weight up front on the 3DHV!? Even 110 is overkill on those things. Try 90 and watch your trajectory issues vaporise... those things are smokin fast!! A good compromise is the Easton Bloodline. It's a .003 lightweight arrow that is much more durable than the 3DHV. It's not a .204 though (it's a .234/H-series). I recently robin hooded one and the amount of damage the shaft took was minimal, and I wasn't even running bushings or pins. Not as light as a 3DHV, but still a seriously under-rated shaft!! (and don't let the cheap price fool you, they're awesome for 3D and outdoor target in windy conditions).
Ive got a buddy that’s done some research and long story short, believes a lighter spine, or one broken down more shoots tighter groups at distance. Wanted to try it out.
@@brandonmcdonald6121 Dynamic spine is such a bxtch to figure out (which is why I'm as into tinkering as I am) - so maybe a 300sp with 140gn up front will stop oscillating faster than say a 350 with 110gn will, and therefore settle down earlier in flight!? It'll also change the position of the nodes etc. Someone needs to do some fancy high speed video of arrows in flight!!
You are so underrated. Thanks for the content dude.

If you want to stretch out farther than 50 a slider site is nice. I like .010 pins for the last 2 pins in a 5 pin site so they blow out less. Also, if vision is becoming an issue look into “clarifiers” and “verifiers” they’re like glasses that fit in your peep.
@@brandonmcdonald6121 awesome, I will look into it 🤩👍Thanks.
"insert ridiculous comment here"
Maybe this will make it onto IG🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The ball's in your court Mr. McDonald.
Going to have to do better than that!!! It has to half hurt my feelings 😂
@@brandonmcdonald6121 that's the best I got, my insult game has fallen off the past few years.
See you in Park City buddy 🤙🏼
Come say hi if you see me
Nice key lighting.
Impressed you know the term. And… it’s janky but I’ve got something on order that should help
@@brandonmcdonald6121 shiiiiiite. Still got my photo gear. Throw in a reflector opposite the key light and you got some cheap fill over there.
Good info here. Thanks for what you’re doing.
I heard cutters vibrate pretty bad
I shoot the same arrows Victory 3DHV 400 super light and fast. They not durable at all.
Yup I've blown many a victory arrow upyself from 3dhv all the way up to the vap ss(complete junk). I'll stick with my 5mm Easton axis or my day six all day long. Although I'm.on the hunt for a cheaper arrow build. Really hate when you loose an arrow and it costs 25 dollars a pop.
Day6 are solid. The tkos hold up good as well but the half outs aren’t as solid as day6.
Shoot, I'm going to Snowbird - should have picked Park City.
I couldn’t get into snowbird or I’d have picked that one!
@@brandonmcdonald6121 I’ll be representing with your hat. Assuming it arrives in time.
You definitely had #PourPanic there!
Dammit! I think I was too excited
Why bother with so much weight up front on the 3DHV!? Even 110 is overkill on those things. Try 90 and watch your trajectory issues vaporise... those things are smokin fast!!
A good compromise is the Easton Bloodline. It's a .003 lightweight arrow that is much more durable than the 3DHV. It's not a .204 though (it's a .234/H-series).
I recently robin hooded one and the amount of damage the shaft took was minimal, and I wasn't even running bushings or pins. Not as light as a 3DHV, but still a seriously under-rated shaft!!
(and don't let the cheap price fool you, they're awesome for 3D and outdoor target in windy conditions).
Ive got a buddy that’s done some research and long story short, believes a lighter spine, or one broken down more shoots tighter groups at distance. Wanted to try it out.
@@brandonmcdonald6121
Dynamic spine is such a bxtch to figure out (which is why I'm as into tinkering as I am) - so maybe a 300sp with 140gn up front will stop oscillating faster than say a 350 with 110gn will, and therefore settle down earlier in flight!?
It'll also change the position of the nodes etc.
Someone needs to do some fancy high speed video of arrows in flight!!
It’s an IPA, pouring it at all is bad lol
Be careful or I’ll put your negative comment on my Instagram!! 😁
@@brandonmcdonald6121 Haha, I’ll stand behind it!
Probably drinking!🤣
Most of the time
Poured to fast. But it'll settle and chug just fine
It did indeed church just fine!
The only good pour is the one that goes directly in your mouth.
Bad pour.. gotta go slow, really slow. Hard angle on glass until almost full
Poor pour. But it’s an IPA so … who cares right?
Dude that pour was all bad
I poured down the side!!! Felt like I was punished by the froth gods
@@brandonmcdonald6121 Haha you rushed the stroke. Have to take it slow
Good poor but too fast
More practice needed!
