- Here's a practical practice approach for BOWHUNTING.
Instead of whining....."them heavy arrows might be better for penetration but what if the animal moves??" PRACTICE, 200 grains / 2,000 grains

All us old guys have done this for years and just assumed it was common knowledge. When in a tree I do all my ranging before an animal is near. That way I don't have to figure it out when I need to keep movement to a minimum.
When I set my stand up in the tree I'll range from different areas on the ground and mark that nearest tree or rock with a color corresponding to that pin on my bow for visual reference
I actually make a range card in a new spot and then spend 10 minutes memorizing it...
Sniper 101.
I use a range finder to 1) sight in my pins, 2) see how far off my range estimation is during practice, 3) pass the time when it gets boring, 4) see how far I’m going to have to move to maybe set up for a shot, 5) and less and less these days to help me screw up a shot opportunity by fiddling with the damn thing.
I do the exact same thing. I pick a few landmarks and range them so i dont have to do it when i'm taking the shot.
“I’m gonna tell ya something then ya go do whatever the hell ya want…”
Priceless!!!!🤣😂
Ha!!
When I was 14 or so (I'm 55 now), I'd shoot my four arrows, go pull them and as I walked away from the target, I'd throw them like a javelin. Wherever they stuck in the ground, that's where I shot from. I was ALWAYS shooting distances other than 15, 20, 25, 30, etc., etc. About five years ago I switched to the struggle stick. So now, shooting my recurves and longbow, and I think this "lifelong habit" has helped me with the stickbow.
I found your channel by accident looking up deer anatomy. Haven't been hunting in 16 years because my dad passed away when I was a teen. But...it is now time to pick back up my bow and get back in the woods. Thank you for the knowledge I thought I had lost. You've got a new subscriber.

Hi Mr Ranch Fairy man, here in the UK it is illegal to hunt with bow and arrow but if you go back several centuries before gun powder was invented and archers used bow and arrows to kill men and horses in warfare. Look at the specs of their arrows, now they didn’t have the fancy tech to add inserts in the arrow. A typical wooden arrow had heavy broad head or heavy bodkin point and to increase the FOC weight the diameter of the arrow was about half an inch at the pointy end for a few few inches then tapered down towards the fletching. So young man you have it right on there. Cheers from the UK.
Okay. To practice for bow hunting is really just practicing the bow flip. Got it
You’re paying attention!! 😆
Perfect practice makes perfect. That's why people try to have perfect form when practicing. You practice and develope good habits so when the deer of your dreams steps out, you don't have to think about what to do. The right thing is a habit and thus happens naturally. Practice perfect, don't just practice.
Love your pointers and sarcasm. Your vid’s make my day every time they pop in.
When I go to the 3D range with my friend, we always take our first shot from a unknown distance without ranging it. Then we tell one another what we thought the distance was, then range it to see who was closer to being correct. Typically then we will take a second shot at the target with the known distance. It makes for a fun game and competition.
We also try to shoot for the kill shot, not the point circles.
Hey RF, I have just two words for you and the info you laid down in this vid…”amen brother!”
This is the best video I have seen you put out yet. I do this myself but so many people do exactly what you are saying. I shoot a single pin to get away from the clutter. I find middle ground which is usually around 30 to 35 yards. Then I jump around the range aiming high or low at different yardages. This usually teaches me where I need to hold without reranging or readjusting my sight. Great job Troy
The "bow flip" is a real thing. I saw some Olympic archers from South Korea do it. Years later, I watched a famous bow hunter do it while practicing with his bow in the back yard. I am absolutely certain that he doesn't do that in the treestand, as he never did it on his hunting videos - definitely a "poser" thing.
poser thing? ...rubbish ....you obviously never shot an Olympic bow with an extreme long front stabilizer ...if you want to avoid torque you don't want to fight gravity...
I've learned so much from you in the last 2 years that I can't stand to talk about archery with guys anymore with that being said thanks man 👊
I like your thought process and I'll work on it. I enjoy my practice sessions! Thanks a bunch.....
Long time trad bowhunter here. That bow flip bit had me laughing! Agree with the rest of what you're saying if limited to a range, but I think stump shooting mixed with small game and scouting has a leg up on it yet!
I'm new to trad archery (1.5 years) and bow hunting, this will be my first year, and I appreciate this advice on practicing. I work on my shot cycle at the range but it's too static. One of the best practice sessions I did was to put a target on a steep hill with a cross wind and I just circled around it at 20 yards with heavy blunts and shot at it from all angles. That was humbling but so useful.
Incredible idea.
try '"Roving or stump shooting" THERE are VIDEOS ON YT TO EXPLAIN IT this is great practice for trad
@@1alexcody 100%!! I lost a lot of arrows doing that until i invested in blunts, lol.
@@kevinseel3258 blunt and judos, Judos are the best and can take a beating
Best of luck and have fun
as a youngen gotta LOVE the Ranch Fairy! :D
You know something I really thought that most people did this when practicing with their bow that's is what makes a person a better shot with a bow excellent video information like this needs to be put out there if you are not shooting a unknown distance you are sitting yourself up for some disappointment down the road keep putting out the very good information.
Been doing it for years. I pull the arrows out of the target, turn around, and play lawn darts. I never use a range finder, just split and shoot. You get better the more you practice. Try taking a knee, or knee and tilt. All compound bow, I think we get sidetracked on traditional vs. Compound
You are spot on about the 3D shoots. The tournament guys ( I call them “Target Bunnies”) are always talking crap. I’m not a target shooter. I’m hunter i shoot better when I’m shooting something that’s breathing
Gotta love it!!!!! No holding back YEE Haw! People need to know their arrow drop. Multiple pins or one. I use a horizontal line to determine things like this because the line gives you way better feedback than an animal target. One needs to know how to use the pin to hit where it needs to be. Don't gap shoot between the pins. You should be able to raise the bow holding the pin above where you want the arrow to hit. If you know your drop factor say between 40 and 30 is 7" and the deer moved away 4-5-6? Yards and the deer was at 30-31 yards is now 35 or 36 yards. Do not gap the pins if you have any chance of the deer holding position for three to five seconds. Raise the bow so the 30 yard pin is 3 to 4" above the spot you want the arrow to hit. Yes, this is gapping but when you use the pin it's way more accurate. It's like " holding off" target which some do because of target panic if they try to hold dead center. But it's not target panic here. It's a more accurate way of using the pins.
Thanks from a new bow shooter in Australia. In the process of building my heavy, high foc arrows. Currently practicing with lighter arrows for rabbits, because I figure a miss on the kill zone of a pig or goat etc will be similar to a miss on rabbit. My cheap PSE 5 pin sight I am looking at setting up for 42 metres (46 yards) max because beyond that I am unreliable, , and this will allow, 42, 35, 30, 25, and 20m sight pins, and below 20m is a short walk to the target, so practicing hold won't be a burden , lol. I have been wondering if a visit to the local archery park would be worth a look, as they have bags with killzones painted inside painted on Lifesize targets, from rabbits to kangaroos, and deer, at varying angles of elevation, and range, and even between branches. This video confirms that I am thinking along the right paths. Cheers again mate. Love your work.
I just purchased an EZ V bow site just for these situations. I love it. Most important thing is to practive shooting at targets that are as close to live size as possible. Framing an elk is very much different than a whitetailed deer. I made an elk target out of 4x8 foam board for less than $20. I just printed out multiple 6"X12" parts of an elk print and put them together like a puzzle. I set up a block target behind the vitals area to prevent the arrow passing through. I works great.
That is a great exercise. I'm definitely going to do that.
Glad to see this. Just joined a great conservation club that has a 3D course. My intention is to use it solely for hunting practice (thought I'm sure it will be fun, too). I'll take your lessons to the course with me.
100% agree with what you are saying, always better to practice like that cause you never know what the animal will do. As for me i am a public land hunter in thick narly bush and where i hunt, my max shooting distance is 40 yards. I range every little land mark from 20 yards and out, this way keep the guessing game to a minimum. Keep up the good work love these videos.
Similar for me. I find, however, that the deer always manage to find a route I didn't anticipate, so having confidence to take a shot at an almost-known distance is good.
Good rock solid info that is geared to the HUNTER!
I was shooting over 600 grains at the range, and someone complimented me on how quiet my arrows and bow were.
I do something similar by setting my target in my my sons wagon, with a few pulleys and some parachord (with my wife or buddy pulling at unknown speeds) to simulate a moving animal and it works for me no doubt. Plus it’s a ton of fun
I agree 100% with you when it comes to people becoming to confident with their ability to take long shots when hunting because they practice at long distances when shooting 3d, once the animal is beyond 70 yards you're got no idea where the arrow is going to hit because you can not predict how the animal is going to react and at those distances any animal can move quick enough to make perfect shot a complete miss or worse a gut shot.
This is true at 20! 100% string jumps in e everyone of my videos
The way you said to practice is what I do. I get my pins set, confirm those, then move to all different in-betweens, angles, off to the side, kneeling, leaning around a tree, etc.
Great video RF. From the couple times I’ve been I think I know where that spot is. Been thinking about joining again.
Man This is awesome, Thanks a bunch.........
Great video as usual! I am gonna join the folks saying this video seemed like the perfect pitch for the EZV sight, but my guess is you are trying to appeal to all the guys who simply will not switch away from their 5 or single pin sights. Thanks again!
Great video
:👍: Good practical advise! You could also throw in practicing a shot sequence such as, stand still at-the-ready as you would hunting, and then give youself a time limit, maybe 5-7 sec, to make your draw and execute the shot.
...."...in-between the 2 pins is halfway..." ....says the man who understands the physics ... realty is that this statement is malarkey. If you shoot only 15 to 25 meters it doesn't matter, but if you shoot 45 meters you better not use the middle between the 40 and 50 meter pin when you aim for the vitals as your shot would be very likely too long, especially with a very heavy arrow.
BTW: ...that's something you learn pretty fast when practicing 3D!
I love this guy
I love it!! Really get that bow flip in there!! 😂
“To be legit” it is the way
Haha
Don't forget to shoot in different positions. Kneeling one knee down, two knees down, sitting on a bucket, crouched, behind a tree etc. However you're gonna hunt. Especially if you are spot and stalking. Strangely the park rangers do a terrible job of keeping all the terrain level and the rocks raked up. Just can't get good help these days, I'll tell you what. So, you just don't always get the opportunity to set up a perfect stance.
It is almost like you have to have some instinctive shooting ability. Practicing with a recurve has helped me develop this skill somewhat (still have work to do) that I apply when shooting my compound. In my humble opinion (of which I have many) I think every bowhunter should learn trad shooting on a basic stick and string. You learn to respect the arrow and that it is really where the bulk of tuning is done. Along with that it is training your brain to unconsciously judge the distance in the same way it does when chucking a ball. This is why I like your take on compound shooting, your recurve shooting experience really shines through and you treat your wheel monster more like a stick and string. Bravo.
I split pin shoot a lot cause not every animal is gonna be 20,30,40 yards , just walk at random spots in the yard and sling arrows in doing so you can see at odd yardages just how much your arrow drops makes you a better shot for hunting situations
Good stuff Troy. My sons and I pick a few targets during 3d shoots where we can't use a rangefinder. Some of these flat brimmers have never hunted without one so they are missing the skill of yardage estimation and adapting to the realities of bowhunting.
Seen the ezv sight on your channel and got one during the learning process I would walk out about 10 and start throwing arrows by hand away from the target for unknown distance to help me with sight picture
He uses that sight because he has severe target panic.
If you can use a chrono to get your arrow speed. And put the Wright ezv disc. It's like a rangefinder sight
This is why the Garmin a1i series of sights is great.
Xero geussing, range finder is always at a fingers length away. It cost me as much as my bow did up here in canada . But WELL worth the extra dollars. Troy telling it like it is..
read my post
Good one RF.
I hunt traditional from a saddle and my favorite way to practice is to climb a tree and shoot field points at random leaves and clumps of grass without ranging
Awesomeness!! #nailedit
Shot sequence reminds me of girls college softball. Look at the pitchers. One will tap the glove twice then pitch then another will tap foot then tap glove three times then pitch.
Just pull it back aim and let it fly.
EZ V bow sight works for my compound bow!!
LMAO with the golf and 3D analogy. I'm an old guy like the first commenter and had no range finder yrs ago so I would step off all the possible shot ranges in my stand area and then make a mental note of an unusual bent tree, broken bush etc at that range.
Shot an early PSE compound single pin and a recuve instinctive
but practiced a lot at unknown distances.
Love your humor and practical application. I'm still wondering why I didn't think of your logical analogy earlier about finding the right arrow spine/weight for your bow instead of "bending the barrel". As a former reloader/wing shooter/long shot that made a ton of sense and so does this vid. I could go into great detail about bullet weight/loads/drop from years of experiments that teach you about vectors and basic gravitational forces, but alas I digress. Keep up the great "informative" entertainment, I look forward to your vids with anticipation, never disappointed. If I'm a part of the fairy cult, so be it....Love how my bow shoots 650/750g Sirius 250/200 spines....I wear Atlas glove to pull arrows even at 50 yds...(here is where you grin knowingly)...😉
One thing people don’t know - but I will be doing videos
A Bullet CP is at or ahead of CG - arrows are LONG sticks that bend and roll and have wings (broadhead too) on both ends.
The further back you can get CP the more stable the stick flies.
Bullets are short so the rifling rolls them at tremendous spin rates.
Off we go
Pretty sure your my spirit animal lol! Just spitting bow hunting gospel!! Keep it up and thank you!
First time on your channel, My stomach hurts from laughing.... thanks
Welcome to the fairy dust
Lmao on the bow flip. The longer pause between the shot and the flip, the better. Lol
The acceptable time is 2.8 seconds or longer.
@@RanchFairy Yep, that’s a good follow through. Lol
Troy what's you favorite arrow squaring method? be better at cutting in the first place?
Awaiting for a pig bow hunt + anatomy session!
The bull i shot was at 60 yards and that arrow was so slow I literally watched it leave the bow and its entire flight. It dropped right in, I can tell you it was beautiful and the very best filling of all last year. I shot a little low because I was guessing the yardage based on a bush between him and I. He dropped and the arrow ended up right where i wanted it. My arrows are 782 grains because it flew better than 470, 534, 606, 620, 646, 684, 706, 736, 760, 782, and 810 grain arrows i shot the heck out of did. A single bevel 150 grain broad head. Then I add the weight to the insert, I thought it would straighten the shaft, also I used to do that so i can shoot or use other broad heads if I wanted or needed to. That bull did not react to my bow at release, he reacted when that arrow until it was less than 20 yards away my guess is 10 yards he dropped about 10" and a little rotation. I do not believe it is the sound of the bow that scares our cory. it is the sound of the arrow and broad head in flight. Please record the sound of one of the arrows that you shoot with some good quality audio and video recording devise. I have had the un pleasurable experience of a arrow in flying over head. It sounded like a pissed off swam of hornets coming at you. For me it was over my head before I registered what those two noises where. The recoil noise of a bow drew my attention to that direction then the swarm flying over head. Then came the second arrow, at that time I was highly in tune to what I was seeing and hearing. The next two I had the pleasurer of hearing I was behind a tree but still heard them. I am pretty sure it is at 10-15 yards before the brain is clicking enough to get motion started.
Did you kick the crap out of whoever was trying to kill you in the woods? Seriously!?!? How do people not know exactly what they are shooting at?!?! I think I would have Spiderman'd it down the tree and Hulk punched them in the throat. To hell w/the hunt I'm kicking some rear at that point. Be safe. It's scary out there sometimes.
Let's go! Spring brown bear and monster steelhead season right around the corner here. I'm not flipping my bow bruh 😤
So I've built some 300 spline 75gr insert, 125gr field tips, taw at 500-505 @28.5" in length
I noticed my arrows corkscrew otw to the target. Any ideas?
But you shoot an EZ V. Doesn’t that mean you don’t need to range stuff? Serious question 😬
Yes
Good information, but I use the Garmin bow sight so I just hit the button before I release and I’m automatically adjusted.
I never got into a range finders. I just kind of estimate it and wing it from there. It will work except when it doesn't. Besides, like you stated, the animal never stays put anyway. Estimating 25 and in really isn't that big a deal
When asked what system I'm shooting by the guy with all the gear and the UA-cam diploma. I always say the *KISS system (Keep It Simple Stupid) Blows their mind! lol Thanks for the great content!
Practice like you hunt. Yup. I got a lot of weird looks at the club as it's August and I'm shooting with gloves, mask on, climbing up and down elevation, shooting at angles, ranging then walking away or towards my target then shooting. Oh yeah... And shooting with my quiver on with arrows in it. I do that also. LOL!!
Blasphemy.
Very cool to see you're still using the EZ V. Your videos convinced me to start using it and I've had the pleasure of getting to know Aaron a bit. I'm still adjusting to it. Just started with it in December. My windage is spot on, still struggling with elevation and "framing" especially on 3D, but on paper I do better. Any tips you can share that you haven't already put on UA-cam??
Turn the V around, Sand the smooth side so you cant see the tics through the sight. Install it with the tickless side towards you. Start at 20, fling arrows, move back to 30, fling arrows. Just get a feel for how the vitals are framed. Look at you 3d target and just let the V slide up and down in your periphery until it looks right. Next just start walking around and framing from unknown distances and angles. Make sure you use a wide peep, nose or kisser button this will help you have a less obstructed view of the animal and the V. I still use the tic side when I shoot just for reference and 40+ but I judge the distance by framing.
I have a fun drill I do at times set the target up leave the range finder in the case , shoot and try to guess the range then move again and estimate and shoot
I’m old enough they didn’t exist and we managed!!!! Solid practice regimen there
I'm old enough I grew up shooting aluminum arrows and over draws to just get to 50 yds .
I use a few walkthrough ranges so I don't have the distances memorized. I always take my first shot guessing the range and if I'm off then I'll lazer and take another shot. By hunting season I'm pretty damn good at guessing the ranges.
There's not always time to range first.
Question, I shoot a Easton FMJ with aae pro max fletchings 3 vanes a arrow. Do you think I should go with a bigger fletching?
Need to cut the fletch off one and go find out
Here’s how to tune an arrow

Pretty simple to range your animal, aim and shoot. The idea of shooting between pins is on point though. This video is more geared toward guys sitting in a stand shooting 35 yards, not western spot and stalk hunting where shots push 60 regularly.
Is it just the camera angle or is your draw length too long? Loved the satire on the pre shot gyrations.
Camera
I shoot a slider which I got once I started shooting heavier arrows which I did for my moose hunt. I went out and practiced for hours at unknown ranges and then would practice gap pin shooting between the the two pins knowing that I would have such a dynamic shot when moose hunting. Sliders in my opinion can be harder to gap shoot with 2 pins because if you get grabby and try putting that top pin at 34 yards so your bottom now is 40 and suddenly you have a shot at 16 yards.... boy you better have practiced and remembered you had your grubby fingers on that sight and don't get all wound tight over that bull just to watch that arrow go sailing into the blue yonder.
We don't allow laser rainsfinders In our tournament unless it's specifically specified for that. You have to learn how to guess yardage to be good at 3-D and hunting. The average archer won't take the time to practice at guessing yardage, thus they stay average. I don't own a range finder. Shoot adult arrows😁
When's the count down officially start boss
You're the man lol
Man I love your content and the fun you have, but I can see how some are annoyed by you 😂😂 Keep up the good work!
They have small lives of despair

That's it Troy! I am heading to NZ soon to shoot Red Stags in the Roar... I am going to double back flip my bow after my shot just to set a new trend... what is this half front flip? Amateur's😂!
Stump shooting. Rabbit hunting.
Love your channel.

Hey Troy how about a video on transitioning to peepless? Thinking about throwing out the pins and going ez v peepless.
ua-cam.com/video/js7Jgb4BfTA/v-deo.html
The majority of 3D Tournaments in Canada are unknown distance!!
That’s a great thing!!!
Ranch Fairy, I have a question for you.
No matter what the weight of your arrow or tip is, it's not going to fly correctly if the rest is not set up properly...
So what do you do in this regard? Do you just set your rest up at perfect center shot, and then shoot different weighted field tips until you find one that flies straight? There has to be some kind of strategic process that takes place BEFORE you just go and start flinging arrows.
Thanks.
Have you watched his other videos...?
Can you do a video on the ballistics of ancient stone arrows to show what made people successful for thousands of years and compare to today's equipment? Pretty please
Hey man I just ordered a set of kinetic platinums 300 spine shooting 65 to 70 pounds at twenty eight inches arrow length build with stock insert without doing any weight or head is sitting at 296 running 2.7 tac driver 4 vane right helical I'm considering switching to the single bevel cutthroat head and adding weights on the insert. Two questions for ya is the small diameter shaft going to be able to handle a 175 broad head with like 60 added onto my insert and with that is my foc going to be to excessive trying to get an elk down this year shooting a bowtech carbon icon I did 130 miles in ten days only seen two no opportunities last year and I'd hate for my stick I throw not handle it
Comfortable shooting out to sixty killed a White tail back home with a parker bedded out of climber at like 75 when I was a kid just getting back into archery love your videos and all the science behind it
Well, if you watch my arrow tuning playlist
I’d say
250 spine
And bare shaft tune. Any chance you used a calculator tool to guess??
Here’s the beef. You gotta shoot them
And go find out!
Or shoulda asked me before you asked me!!
I think they are gonna bare shaft with field points
And I think broadheads over 150 grains are gonna “fly weird”
@@RanchFairy ya didn't stumble upon the channel until after I had done a little bit of research and I tried for the foc but was waiting for em to get here to start learning the limitations with em. Its my first time doing a build and so far feels like I've come pretty close at least I messaged the seller already hopefully caught it before they cut the shafts put the order in late Friday so hopefully keep the content coming

GOTCHA!! Welcome to the fairy dust!!!
So as a self filmer and long time bowhunter of 50 yrs I needed to find a way to be able to range anee mulls while they were moving as well as keep them in frame of the camera and worrying about how much my 650gr arraha's were gonna drop say between 30 and 37 yds. Here's the shot process with a laser ranger finder. Power up camera and power up mic after spotting anee mull. Get critter in frame at proper zoom level on cam. Pick up lazer rangefinder and range critter..... clip on...... Draw bow....Uh oh anee mull just moved. Let down... unclip release...recenter anee mull in camera frame.... re range....reclip....re draw....lot to do to pull it off without getting busted....Now same scenario with the Garmin A1i ranging bowsite.... Spot anee mull... turn on cam and mic. ....center anee mull in frame and zoom. Pick up bow and clip on and draw.....Press lazer range button on bow....Anee mull is ranged to within a half yd....... Pin automatically moves in housing....... Shoot ..... look at camera and jump off saddle platform with glee at your perfectly ranged kill....... Hero interview while swinging in the saddle.
Tried for 6 months to get the EZV to work for me. shooting the 650 gr. Arrah's. Just could no get the accuracy I was looking for with it. ....With the Garmin no problem bullseyes 1yd to 60yds.
Heading to Fl. the end of march for a 2wk hog hunting excursion on a pals land!!!!!
Agreed.

I need some arrow for bear hunting , can you help me? Any contact information?
Love the video and info. One question…..,If you use the ez v sight. What’s it matter? 😜 That’s why I want one.
Laughing my butt off at the 3D must do’s. I know a few of them guys. 🤣
The EZV sight would help with moving animals? That’s one of the reasons I’m considering switching to it. I don’t care to shoot tournaments.
Haven’t tested it
@@RanchFairy I thought that was one of the selling points of the sight. Especially using it without the yardage ticks. You put the sight on whatever fills the vitals in the V?
@@dyakr4368
Different distance and no range finder
And “moving targets” can mean different things
Yes / you are correct - great for unknown distance and no range finder
👍👍👍
EZV sight.......no range finder cos it's not needed. You know this!!!
Don't you like these fools that takes a light arrow and a heavy arrow and they get back there somewhere and shoot both arrows using the same sight and the heavy arrow hits about 8" below there little bounce off the shoulder arrow then they say I don't know about you but I know what arrow I'm gonna be shooting why don't you set the sight for the heavy arrow that way you will be giving us a real comparison when your light arrow flys over the target God this stuff ain't rocket science well in your case I guess it is keep up the good work Troy and rocket man
I tell people this all the time.

YOUR
Pins
Unfortunately some of the "cool guy" sights require a PHD in mechanical engineering to tinker!
Oh shit is that why I keep getting my ass handed to me at the 3d course. I haven't told them how fast my new long bow is. But I made my own arrows, I cut the shafts from old fir bar boards, I triple layered my paint they look so awesome ,,, but I've never bragged about how fast it is... I've been putting my eggs in the wrong basket . SHIT. NO NO NO you forgot to let down and recheck your yardage, at least 3 times. And with that I'm going to keep practicing my range guessing at the 3 D course. so 🤪 nah nah neener😛
I hunt state land and yes you can range some spots but the are wild animals. I think the point is supposed to be not so much a few steps but the fact that a heavy arrow simply drops faster .it's even said that heavy arrows hold there speed longer so there for once they start to go down they will drop more and faster ...now I'm not not either side of it here I shoot in the middle of the range..with that said if you hunting a corn pile and everything is 20 and under don't matter what you shoot and a few yards won't make a difference..but you get out to 30 40 and 50 and it will ..like throwing a a peace of paper and rock off a house the rock might hurt worse but it will hit the ground first ..it's gravity!!
After watching John Dudley work on his arrows, I realized I am an IDIOT. It was a come to Jesus moment for me
My question for you is I’ve made myself a DYI single fixed pin bow sight and me I only practice at 20 yards for 2 reasons 1 my eyes aren’t that great and 2 I know there are people that say we’ll if you shoot at longer distance the it makes shorter shots easier and that fine for them but I practice at real bow hunting distance for is 20 yards and in on a whitetail cause when you watch UA-cam videos or talk to people they say cause most Bowhunters don’t shoot over 20 yards so there for my thought is why would I practice out longer distances cause I know mr that if I did and that buck of a lifetime comes in and it’s out at 40 or 50 yards I’d take that shot why not I practice out that far knowing that I’m shooting at a target and it doesn’t move so that’s why I practice that close
I think you need to take into account where you live and hunt. If you live in WI or PA and hunt in the woods, 20 yards is probably accurate. I live in the plains, most of my harvested deer have been in the 30-50 yard range. I am a big proponent of practicing at a wide variety of distances so you know where your limits are for an ethical harvest.
But if your using the EZv you don’t have to do all that shit right?
Nope - just wander around and practice
But for the “target pin shooting Neanderthals”
I try to help!!! 😂 😆
You're gonna scare them with all that math again 🤪🤣

Yeah 3D shooters remind me of Richie Rich fly fisherman
Uphill arrows hit high as they do downhill
