Wow, the torque test results from grip pressure was crazy - great video as always!

Troys teachings have already infected me! I’m totally stoked for you man!!!! Heavy arrows are totally awesome. My spread is 500 to 950 grains. I build half dozens, just because I’m bored and I like to build arrows. I’m not bishop arrow rich, but I can play without breaking the bank!!!! Once you get to the 700 level, listen how quiet your bow shoots. Pair that with a cut on contact head like you do and preach. Lol have fun!!!!

I dipped my Toe into high FOC this year. My setup for reference. Matthews Switchback 70# 29.5" draw 30" Sirius Vulcan 250 spine 100 Grain insert 150 Grain point Arrow ends up being 600 grains total, about 19.4 FOC. Played with the tip point and the 100 grain insert with 150 up front was making bullet holes. Previously was shooting 29" 400 spine with standard insert and 100 grains up front. Took the fletching off and got a 12" tear in the paper. My fletchings were working overtime with just field points. Im sold on the Ashby/RF method. I've never been this confident with a hunting setup before.

@Supercreech pin gaps didn't increase really. Heavier arrows with higher FOC are effected less by drag and lose less velocity over distance. I did switch arrows this year....same spine but about 70 grains lighter overall.

@Supercreech disagree. Look at RF recent videos about heavy arrow velocity and pin gaps. Math is all right there. For what it's worth, I'm hunting eastern forests. 40 yds is about the longest distance I will be shooting. So my bottom pin is 50 yards.

Troy Fowler is the man as far as I'm concerned. I would freaking marry that man, he's just too freaking cute. He drives us men wild!!!

The "2 schools of thought" shpeel is a little misleading. Great video man, I'm just concerned people are going to think they can shoot a poorly tuned bow and swap some head weights around for perfect arrow flight. Your bow must be tuned to centershot for this system to work. How you get there is your choice. Centershot bows(any modern compound bow) dont work the same way as trad bows and essentially the head weight swap and arrow trimming method was developed for traditional bow tuning. Center shot bows have to be set to true centershot, which will vary slightly for each shooter, in order to get perfect arrow flight. Once you are at centershot to let all you want with your arrows and build some sexy, heavy hitters.

Did you do the formula 5gr per inch x the weight of your bow? The stiffness of your arrow is so important if your shooting 70 pounds times 5 make your arrow to be a 350gr arrow stiffness now if you under spine the shaft your not going to get a center shot tune. Also if you under spine your arrow to get more speed you risk your bow from failing. Stick to the formula you can't go wrong.

@stick__shooter

The weight and the spine are different things. Just because an arrow is lighter doesn’t mean it isn’t as stiff. I have flimsier 400 spine aluminum shafts that are 12 grains per inch for my recurve and I have 250 spine carbons that are 10 grains per inch for my compound. I tested different spine shafts with different point weights to find what flew well. For my bow I’m at 65 pounds, 28.5” draw, and a 250 spine Black Eagle spartan (10 gpi) with 25 grain stainless insert and 200 grain heads for 560 grain total weight and 18% FOC. Lighter does not mean softer spine.

@stick__shooter

4 жыл бұрын

And your formula isn’t really correct. It’s actually 5 grains per POUND minimum weight. That means you shouldn’t shoot an arrow that weighs less than 350 grains or you could risk blowing up the bow. Mine is 200 grains heavier than that and I’m Only at 65 pounds. Spine is a different things than weight. Too soft of spine will cause erratic arrow flight and take you too far away from Center shot, as will too stiff a spine. But spine can be manipulated by Cutting shaft length And adding/subtracting point weight.

How was your target not moving during this test, my wife shoots 40 lbs on a heavier target with lighter arrows and it moves.

So I did my test and have it narrowed down to a 300 spine arrow weighing in at 568 grains total. However, the amount of drop is *huge* compared to my current 338 grain arrows. Your arrows were hitting right on target...was it because you were already using heavy arrows? Maybe it's because my bow's speed is so much less?

Check out vector. $29 for two...

Or........... you can actually look at the set up that Troy has completely missed the boat on. When you are adding the weight system you are almost making a footer, which shortens your arrow and technically makes your projectile stiffer. He has followers that are shooting to stiff of an arrow typically and adding unnecessary grains per inch which is working against the very thing you are trying to accomplish. Step 1 - tune your bow, if you are shooting a high dollar machine you better also be spending money on high quality projectiles. If you are shooting a hand me down or less expensive bow, put the extra money into good arrows/components. Step 2- get yourself a scale, weigh every item of the arrow and call manufacturers out on quality. Square both ends. If a shop is building your arrows, make sure you let them know you will weigh them to be sure they fall into the specs you pay for. Spin test, a arrow that flys true will penetrate just about anything. If you want to do this on the cheap to play around with, take the OD of the arrow you choose, find the ID of a aluminum arrow and cut yourself some footers, glue a 1", 2" or even 3" piece to the front of the shaft you are going to use, pay attention to the style of rest you use at full draw for the length of these. Where your nock valley starts to the first part of the sleeve is your arrow length, as you have just created a new dynamic spine. Basically ditch the 200 and go to 250, ditch the 300 and move to 330 and so on. Those unnecessary grains per inch add up over the span of the arrow, and get rid of the damn twist this and do this, try this and try that videos that have everybody chasing and looking for good arrow flight. Spine the damn thing right in the first place and good luck.

No I don't understand why you would shoot unbleached arrows for turning your bow you should be shooting what ever your hunting with those fetching and what ever field point as long as it doesn't put you over or under the weight of the shift. You know the formula to figure out the weight of your arrow which every bow hunter knows. 5gr per pound of the bow. If the bow is 40 lbs 40 x 5gr per inch =total of 200gr arrow. But you also have to know the spine of the arrow your using is the proper stiffness. Put it all together you have a hunting arrow. Cool right.

Just dandy if you like shooting stuff that fails. This ain't 3D archery. This is bowhunting. You want the big, stiff arrow with the big, heavy cut on contact broadhead to brute force its way THROUGH the animal. Bareshaft tuning is all about getting your arrow's natural flight perfect. The vanes then have less work to do to stabilize that high FOC arrow, meaning deeper penetration, and THAT is what kills. Do you split a 24" log with a hatchet or do you use a 3 ton log splitter? That formula is the hatchet approach. The log splitter is going to move slower, but have way more FORCE.

Bare shaft is just 1 simple but effective tuning method. Some people dont care for it but for hunters it provides more of a benefit as to have a more efficient flight. Also it tends to dramatically help your field points and broadheads hit the same spot. This simple exercise will become more clear to you as you continue to learn about archery tuning.

To get a even better flight and accuracy, keep aiming after the shot. Your arm flies to the left after each shot. This needs to be corrected.

I don't understand the concept of tuning your bow with raw shafts if your not going to shoot your normal weight broad. For me it does absolutely nothing for tuning. Please try to make me understand.

I don't quite understand your question here, Joseph. Are you saying why tune this arrow if you plan on shooting something totally different?

He’s tuning the arrow not the bow…

@@benpena2832 Hey. Ben that's not the way you tune an arrow you shoot threw paper and see that their is a bullseye. All your fletchings are spilting the paper equally. That's tuning your bow with your arrow.

I find the Ranch Fairy very annoying, I can barely get through most of his videos. a lot of knowledge but just annoying. IMO
