​@@MerlinArcheryhow to shoot an arrow straight

“Don’t focus too much on tuning the arrow if you aren’t consistent yet” wish I knew that 3 years ago when I started giving this stuff a try haha

Just getting into archery and the amount of different variables that go into a bow is mind blowing. Ballistics in essence is simple but the science and maths involved is complex guess the same could be said for archery in general. Looks simple but simple doesn’t mean easy!!! It’s Intimidating but only because i don’t fully understand it yet. This video helped me get a vague grasp on things. Cheers Now I just have grain calculators , all the different inserts, fletch lengths \, patterns etc… Going to bed before my brain explodes gunna be a while before I reach the Zen I got into archery for 😂

Is the zen archery book worth the read?

@@courier3320 i've not actually got or read it but i have heard its good. I was just talking about the zen 'switching off a busy mind feeling' you get when you do something like archery. Kinda get the same thing when i play music , you know when your so engrossed in something you get lost in it & that inner voice that talks so much gibberish goes silent for awhile 🤣

I'd just like to 'point' out that this is a fantastic exam-'pile'. No 'Screw-in' about!

What the fletch are you on about?!

Good tips. Thanks. 👍

Great Job again on this. I shoot the same GT arrows. No longer cut and just change point weight. To simple .

Can i use 100 grain break off point for 800 spine, 28.7 inch longer,

Useful information. One more thing, the weight of the insert is also important.

I shoot cedar arrows with my longbow and once in a while I notice a bit of tail wiggle. I thought initially that I needed to either change out the tips (not an easy procedure) or change to a different weight arrow entirely. I realized that it wasn’t happening to every arrow and not all the time. As soon as I concentrated more on my release the problem disappeared.🙄. Moral of the story, pay attention to what you’re doing. Great video, Griz. Cheers mate👍😎🏹🇨🇦. P.S. what make is that wooden compound bow on the wall behind you? Never seen that before

Looks like a very early Merlin

If you add weight to any part of your arrow your limbs will recognize a greater mass to push which will slow them down , and the arrow will drop off early So you must add extra energy to your bow to pick up the extra mass.

It really is surprising how much difference point weight can make on an arrow.

"Dropping Tradbombs" Lol nicking that one. XD

I have a 45lb bow at 28” draw. Now I am shooting 28” 500 spine 100gr field tip arrows but I want to increase my point weight for hunting, how should I go about this and what weight should I use? Thanks in advance, loved the video!

Heavyweight arrow point matters when you wanna go to hunting and want heavy and high FOC arrow. May be heavy brass insert and heavy points with stiffer spine.

What bow is that on the right side?

Even more daily of Hello There

I still don't know what grains is and how to measure it

What is point weight recommendation for 800 spine arrow, 28.7 " longer cut carbon to carbon. As we know 800s is slightly weaker. I want to avoid they may cause dry fire, can i use 100 graint break off point? Anyone?

So do you prefer Carbon to wood arrows?

I like wood, being a traditionalist, but after a few years not shooting, when I came back to it, I wasn't getting groupings like I used to, suspecting my arrows are a bit old n knackered I bought a set of carbon arrows. Groupings immediately much better confirming my suspicion it was arrows. I suspect they're internally fractured from hitting wood work not target ect. (I assume wood ages too. And will be effected by humidity etc) Woods great, but fractures and breaks easier. I intend to go back to wood, but after I've saved for the instruments to measure arrow strength flexibility (I don't know the names of the yet, because I've never had to bother!) I'll buy a stack of spines and group them into same strengths etc. So I have some consistency. Been planning on starting to fletch my own arrows anyway, just collecting the equipment to get started.

Every video I watch on arrows just seems to contradict every other video. It seems like the bottom line is just find what works for you. There is no right answer.

Always gets off of the topic and get distracted.
