Phil Mendoza- The Alpha Bowhunting Project
Data tells us that approx. 10% of bowhunters successfully fill their tag each year. Those who punch their tag on a mature bull or buck each year are more like 1-2%. It is my belief that to consistently become one of the top 10% of bowhunters you must prepare and execute like the top 1%
Join me as I try to implement tips and strategies of the most successful bowhunters around
A little about me
I grew in a riffle hunting family, we chased everything big game, a few small game critters as well. After college I had the desire to pursue bowhunting and in 2001 I harvested my first elk with my bow
In 2008 my local shop changed hands and in 2009 I decided to open my own range and pro shop in Denver called No Limits Archery
I have also competed on the ASA circuit and earned my pro card in 2013
To say that Archery has been a big part of my life is an understatement and now that I have 2 young boys my focus has changed to helping them experience all that Archery and bowhunting has to offer.

Wouldn’t powerstroke technically be measured from total draw length (string measured at full draw to throat of grip plus 1.75”) minus brace height (string at rest measured to throat of grip)? Thanks for the vid 👍
It's still the best video I've seen on the shot process. I keep it on my phone and find myself going back to it every time I'm on the range. Great work, thanks for doing this.
I have the exact setup and love it!
You can switch out the Phillips flat head screws, for the metal sight tape, with Allen flat head screws, one less tool to carry !
Hey man, I can't find anything about this. But does the Picatinny take noticeable weight off of the right side versus using the dovetail. I don't want to waste $50 buying the cbe picatinny mount but I'm having to use the sidebar right now because of the weight on the right side. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
What spine arrows were you shooting in this video
300
@@AlphaBowhunting did those tune well at 80#
@@AlphaBowhunting I’m thinking about getting 80# limbs for my ultra. I just recently got new arrows and I’m concerned about being under spined with 300’s
@drewmalcovsky9068 what draw length are you shooting and what tip weight are you looking to use?
@@AlphaBowhunting 29” draw with 100grain tips
Sick bow!
'Promo sm'
8:36 I don’t think anyone should be shooting 60 yards
Weight!!
Even with a deer feeding perfectly side on at 50 yards. The chances of it still being there in time to cop an arrow after the bow goes off are pretty slim in my experience.
450 grains for moose, slow animals. 350 for deer, fast animals. 70# 27" draw
I sure miss being up there in that country. Lots of good times up there.
Spot on guys... An accurate, well place flat shooting arrow is overlooked in most cases, and arrow weight/FOC/broadheads recieves a lot of attention that needed to go to shot placement and skill.
Welcome back!!!👍🏽👊🏽. Keep em coming!💪🏽💪🏽
You’re back bro ! Looking forward to your vids again ! 🏹🏹
Great to see you back. You're right, KZread has gotten bad, they now have, KZread jail, I've been in jail many times over the last year... 😂 Just do you bud, your content makes a difference, and it's truly a pleasure to follow you.
325 fps with a built Arrow. 400 grains * 325 fps = 93.4 ft. lbs. That's a few joules. My Personal Experience. The faster They get there. The more forgiving the Ranging Error is. Shoot 3D. Arrows are Expensive. Shouldn't shoot that far unless You can actually hit it.
another thing to consider is how fare you can move the sight down until you get fletching contact.
Good shot.
There's one thing I don't understand.... 3 pin roller sight with 2 marker pins on a tape.... Set it for 20, 30, 40..... but you have an elk coming in around 70, 80, 90. How will those 3 pins match the 2 markers as you roll the 2 markers to touch 70 & 90 being that the drop at 20, 30 40 is much tighter then the arrow drop at 70, 80, 90, but the markers are fixed along with the pins. This setup only makes sense with a single pin but I don't work at nasa.
They won’t be exact but will reflect the number on the tape. Meaning no matter where your indicator is play on the tape they will be an accurate refference point
you can use good ol fashion Elmers white glue for the screws... its just enough hold but not loc tight, you can back the screws out if needed without worry ... even the phillips heads for the sight tape
I have the trek pro 2v the adjustment wheel is stiff.
What size are you using for that long horn pro micro? Medium or large?
Medium
@@AlphaBowhunting Would you say that the medium is comparable in size to the old longhorn pro advantage?
I am just using the stubby up front on my RX5 ultra, would a 6in back bar be enough to balance the bow?
Hey brother, Haven't seen a video or heard from you in over a year, I hope all is well. God bless
What's up Tim, thanks for checking in. I am good, just focusing on a few other projects right now. Hope you are doing good as well
I have an Ultra as well. Have you settled on 10" or 12" for your front bar? TY!!
10"
Do you know if there is any way to swap scope housings to other manufacturers? Like accustatt 3 pin scope on cbe sight or maybe spot hogg triple track scope housing?
I still cant get these bows to aim 100% well compared to others
Great video. Thanks for posting. Got this sight about a month ago. Had the Cbe tactic micro and loved it. I’m new to archery and it took me a bit to set it up but once it was, it was dead nuts. I got the sight for $289 and couldn’t find anything else that had the features and quality for that price range.
In between this one or the engage can you explain some differences
I run a 6" stabilizer on the top and stubby on the bottom Balances real nice
I have a CBE engage hybrid. If I run the CBE version can I run a ultra view sight?
I have the old red longhorn III and is by far my preferred hinge. I have got the longhorn pro micro too and there are 2 features that I would improve. First the “click” is almost inaudible, this is a problem in competition. Second I would have put a double moon like the ascent to full customise the travel before and after the “click”. Anyway great review, thanks.
Good stuff appreciate the video
Just ordered the Ultra I was super torn between it and the Rx7. I have a 28 inch draw so I could have got little more speed out of the RX7 but my gut said go Ultra. I ordered mine in the elevated 2 I like the way it blends in the woods and in Oklahoma we do a lot of tree stand hunting and some ground blind. I am hoping to build a arrow around 450 to 470 and able to get in there around 270 speed I will be happy there.
🙌🏽
I love mine. When walking through thick brush the quiver and arrows run behind my arm and I had less arrows pulled out than my friends with normal quivers
Phil which mount ru running for the camera on your bow? Just picked up a solo
It's the handle bar style mount that Tactacam sells and I mount it to my stabilizer
@@AlphaBowhunting just ordered it
Just got a new RX7 Ultra in bourbon and I have been thinking about experimenting with different stabilizer set ups. Thank you for the video and suggestions.
No update on the one piece quivers huh?
Little late to this video, but when you say that by moving your peep up half an inch or so, you “referenced it by 22yds,” does that mean you gained an additional 22yds of distance by moving your peep that small distance up?
Google lightweight bow setup this comes up. Right off bat 2 bows with front and back stabilizer bars on split limb bows... dumb
I'm having difficulty with this. I've lost one deer and that was four years ago. It has affected me every since. I've killed 12 deer since but I still struggle with it. I passed up a big 10 point last week at 160: yards (I rifle hunt). He was at the exact range I killed my two biggest bucks last year. I'm like WTF? I let three big does go this evening at that range. I gotta get outta my head!
Just something else to consider.. I respect all the animals I hunt and I only hunt game that I like to eat, but 1 animal that is super fun to hunt and doesn't have the same emotions or anxiety attached are hogs. Maybe go out and hunt some hogs, gain some confidence back with very little negative that can come from the outcome. Just a thought
@@AlphaBowhunting Thanks Phil. I hunt coyotes at night. Maybe It should bother me when I wound but it just doesn't. A deer it just eats you up. I'll push through it. I'm going again Sunday. I've got 200 acres of private family land most hunters would kill for. I'm not gonna waste it. I love the sport too much to quit :)
@@tunafish8769 good luck
Any spot hogg fast eddie mounts yet ?
🤣😂🤣😁
Excellent choix ! Bonne chasse
Congrats. What state?
Colorado
Great video! when pulling the trigger are u to pull arm and elbow with your finger wrapped around trigger or just squeeze trigger ? i no it’s a pulling process it seems there is no room left to pull ? could it be or have something to do with my draw length ????🤔🤔
You need to be able to apply some pressure with the finger but try to apply pressure as slow as you can
Getting a trek soon..
Obviously late to the party here, but currently going through a similar set up with a Ventum Pro 33 and Landslyde 5 pin. When you move the housing "up" on the mounting bar do you need to then re-check your 1st axis?
