I bought the Hoyt Z 1 S and we got a perfect bullet hole basically from the box. Then I started broadhead tuning out to 60 yards. I'll have to check out the bare shaft sometime. Great video Thanks for sharing. (We)Bow shop tech and I.
That’s great to hear! If your broadheads are hitting right on with your field points, bareshafts tuning isn’t 100% necessary.
Why are peeps so important
Peeps are for rear alignment of your front sight so that there is no variation with where you arrow lands relative to how you’re aiming with your pin. Overall, it makes it easier to be more consistent and accurate.
I focus on pin blue target works better for me
So I have a problem with all these guys talking about bare shaft tuning and doing it out to 40 yards and beyond then making a statement that paper tuning is not this and that. Do they realize how many new archers listen to this and think that if they can’t sling a bare shaft at 60 yards and hit the same as their fletched arrows there is something wrong with their bow? How about watch guys like Tim Gillingham, who’s a pro competition archer, and who extensively paper tunes each arrow and tells you that while you can bare shaft tune, it is not the best way to tune your bow and that you are NOT shooting bare shafts in competition or hunting! You are shooting fletched arrows.
We completely understand where you’re coming from and will have to expand more on this in another video as we certainly don’t want to put off the wrong impression. Paper tuning definitely has its place, and we certainly use it like Tim does, to get each fletched arrow to fly perfectly out of our bow once the bow is tuned, but it is not the end be all when it comes to tuning a bow that’s going to shoot broadheads. Bareshafts are an exaggerated reaction to what a broadhead tipped arrow will do. Not important for target archery, but important when it comes to broadhead flight. They are of course, very finicky, and more often than not, the variation at any distance will be from the archer, not the bow, which is why we tune off of averages and how good you are able to shoot. Unfortunately many bowhunters paper tune at one close up distance in a pro shop and get a perfect tear through paper at 3’ and 10’ with one arrow and call their tuning “good”. There can be more to the story here and they may not get their broadheads to impact right on with their field points which is where bareshafts can come into play to help. Lots of variables here at play, but we have more videos on our channel that go more in depth on this, and we will continue to make more soon. Thank you for your comment!
A pin is your front sight.
I could never shoot a doe while mature buck are moving. So many reasons why it could ruin your chance at a buck.
I've been anchoring too high over my ear. I know this is an older video but thanks.
I’m glad you found it and I hope it helps! Keep shooting straight!
I have the same release in all 3 configs but have never hunted with the resistance one but might try just for fun as I have not had issues with not hitting what I aim at or target panic thx for the info..
Nice
Whenever I’m comparing fletched and bareshaft point of impact, I always nock tune my bareshaft arrows. As I shoot them, I’ll see which nock position creates the best flight. I’ve seen a bareshaft hit 3-4” away from fletched at 20 yards, then I spin the nock on the bareshaft to see what happens and I’ve gotten the point of impact variance down to a half inch between fletched and bareshaft without touching anything on the bow.
Great addition! We’ve done variations of the same thing by taking a dozen bareshafts, shooting them as a group with the fletched arrows, finding the outliers and twisting the nocks until they fly with the group. Realistically we’ve found it better to just tune off of the main group of bareshafts compared to the fletch for the initial tune, and then do this with fletchings through paper after the fact, rotating the nocks until the tears are perfect. Very important for good consistent broadhead flight!
Good video bud.
Do you work on other peoples bows?
Now a days we work on close friends and families mostly.
Love the alpha x
I love my alpha x 33 It was so much smoother than the lift 33
Nice bow enjoy it.
Woooooow 👀👀👀😱😱😱very,very nice shoot.👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗
turn your cock vane down youll get a bit more clearance.
Lookin good! Where is this range?
I want to know also. Looks like a really nice range.
I use a wrist strap and always have...when I 1st started and every once in a while these days I try the pull pull pull till it breaks and the issue is....my dot is pretty rock solid on the X, but when I start pulling harder, the dot goes way out of the yellow...so I "trust the float" and the arrow never goes in the yellow....so I just command shoot....I'm very good at it and I don't consider it target panic...it is a slow squeeze, like a rifle and my arrow is always in the yellow.....should I keep shooting this way? Or should I keep trying the surprise thing? Thanks
Pulling harder against the back wall won’t make a wrist strap release fire. You can build pressure against the trigger by pulling slowly and steadily against the back wall and focusing on your finger, but if you struggle with float because of it, a slow squeeze from your finger will work much better. It sounds like this is what you’re doing already, and if you have no issues with it, theres no reason to change. A slow squeeze on the trigger until it fires is different than a command shot, and I would encourage you to master that slow steady squeeze rather than force the shot when the pin is in the middle. Hard for me to speak more on it to you specifically without seeing you shoot, but I hope you find this helpful!
Thanks for the video. I see you went from carbon back to aluminum. Just wanting a change? Or have you concluded one is better than the other for your use case?
Last white string you will ever put on a hunting bow
I don’t have a blind but have seen other blind hunters videos where they wear black. You weren’t lazy just seeking a better opportunity. Enjoyed the video keep em going
Very,very inspiring video for us beginners.🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍🎯🎯🎯
I'm only in the first 2 minutes and you've already gained a new sub great job and great explanations.
What an epic chase scene!! Sound and video quality is primo
This is the only video that actually got me hitting 1-2 inch groups with my bow I used to hit ALL over the target I watched this video and then I went out the next morning and was hitting dimes now I consistently hit dimes thank you man
Amazing! Great shooting!
Good effort gentlemen. There a lot of areas in southern AZ units good for archery hunting.
I don’t think you want a thumb button to rotate. At all
Rotate is perhaps not the best choice of words. Transfer of pressure describes it better.
I shoot my bow strictly from blinds. I can never see the peep sight at dusk or dawn because its so much darker in blind than outside. now NY lets us hunt 30 mins before sunrise and after sunset. I cant take advantage of this extra time. does anyone have any ideas? do they make a glow in dark peep?
Experiment with different peep sizes. A bigger peep will let more light in but will be harder to center. You may experiment with different ways of centering the peep too. You don’t need to necessarily see the peep, you just have to look through it. If you can’t see the edges of the peep clear enough to align with your sight housing, just try centering your target in the middle of the peep. Likely easier to do with a smaller peep, but will be harder to see in low light. Hope this helps!
so it would be same as shooting a rifle or shotgun, you should be surprised by the actual shot not anticipating it
What broadhead were you shooting
That arrow is loud as hell on your rest brother!
Awesome! Fresh fish tacos coming up!😋
Incredible hunt & video! Definitely going to replay it in my head when I’m frustrated and thinking about throwing in the towel this September.
Nice one guys!
Money!
What kind of light are you using
Fenix! Website link is in our description 👍🏻
@@BowOnlyOutdoors I don’t see that square one you were holding on there website
@@ArkansasBowHunter007 that’s an old video camera light, can’t remember the brand of it
What broadheads are you using
I think I do this already intuitively.. definately with an animal in front of me, I'm fixated on that sweet spot. Will analyse my shooting on the bag tomrrow. Gratitude. Happy hunting ❤
Best disclaimer ever!! ❤ Try new stuff, but do what makes you better
Amazing videos!! What camera setup you have for the blind?
Thank you! Canon R5 and GoPro hero 11’s
@@BowOnlyOutdoors thanks!!
Good advice. Thanks dude😊
Copper steel wool........?? Those are mutually exclusive, buddy.
Yes please
This is great video. In the year I've been into this I spend a tremendous amount of time focused on the unimportant things. I've been through 3 bows a handful of releases and several arrow platforms, and what I've found is that my form has been the issue the whole time. It took allot for me to realize that the finest mussel tensions, limb, finger angles had such an affect downrange. Which help interduce target panic. Bottom line it's taking me 50k arrows practiced incorrectly to start to understand the way forward. I sure hope others understand that everyone's trying to sell equipment, and yes straight consistent arrows are a factor, but form, correct draw length, and the discipline it takes to control shot anticipation trumps all.
We see this happen over and over. It’s so common yet it’s hard for folks to realize until they’ve been through the trials and tribulations that you have. Thank you for the comment!
This is a little late but I hate a question on bow set up for your tac shoots. I was wondering what poundage and sight set up Rachel is shooting. I am not a youngster like all of you but I love to bow hunt. My HHA on my Mathew’s allure will only stretch out to 58 yards. It works fine for my local 3d shoots but my husband and I would like to dab into the world of TAC. And recommendations would help. Keep em coming.😊
Happy to help! Your peep height will have a much larger correlation on the distance you are able to get out of your sight compared to your poundage. Double check your anchor to make sure your peep isn’t set up too low. If it is for shooting TAC exclusively, I would go with a lighter arrow set up that will not give you as much arrow drop at the long distances. Lastly, I recommend a sight set up that has a pin towards the bottom of the housing to allow you to aim higher and get even further distance out of your set up. We’ll be releasing a video on Rachel’s new bow build with her new sight configuration soon!
Perfect. Thanks
3rd point is key. Dont get caught up in the nitty gritty. Consistent practice is what kills the most deer, not ideal arrow builds/bow set ups
Looks like a whole lot of fun 😊
practice on a paper plate, your eyes cant see thevmiddle, yet your brain works it out consistently. practice on 3d targets in low light, your arrows will constantly group well in the kill zone. personally i dont like shooting at archery target faces or 3d targets with seeable outlines, it dstracts from reality shooting. Every seen an animal walking around with an X or shootig a tennis ball at 60 yards that doesnt have an X. try the tennis ball, put an x on it your brain will automatically change to thinking processes causing content misses
UV button? Just curious, are you going with this release for the season or is it just situational? I hunt with a silverback but carry a uv button in case the winds start howling.
I haven’t hunted with a thumb button in about 4 years so I decided to try it out again. After this turkey season I decided I personally feel more confident with a resistance release so I will be going back to that this fall
