    So the button makes sense on fixed housing and fixed pin sights. The housing and pins dont move so your anchor point isn't going to move. I don't like them because i hunt in very different climates through the year. Hard to feel the button with a face mask on at -20 degrees.

    I am trying the clicker, but I actually like your process behind the thumb barrel mental note. I am concerned with the clicker’s noise in a blind or stand. I may end up with a normal thumb button.

    • @walderman55
      @walderman55 13 дней назад

      Dude I feel you. But honest I think the noise of the clicker would probably be okay. So if it’s something that makes you shoot better I’d say stick with it and run it. I mean I’d at least try it before you cut the idea out completely. One missed opportunity won’t be the end of the world. But the knowledge gained from the experience would be priceless. Not that opportunities come that often for me. But long term I like to know for my self and not deal in hypotheticals. And I’m glad you like the process. I’ve actually simplified my process a bit more since this video. I need to do an update on it. Thanks for watching though man.

  • @liamboyle9199
    @liamboyle9199 Месяц назад

    I think there are about 5 "micro" tuning elements worth exploring (not sure what you have or have not tried yet) - {easy} Loop location (your leverage point) - {advanced} Draw length* - {advanced} Loop length* - {easy/medium} Torque tune - {semi advanced} Group tune (not recommended for those who like perfect tears through paper though😂) *Together these form the OVERALL draw length where your front and back portions are "optimized", its something "very few" people discuss or mention. If you are confident in your ability to shoot and recognize changes, you can make 0.5mm alterations and pick the difference immediately. Took me quite a few years to get around to playing with loop location. When I was starting out I do not recall anyone ever mentioning it, you basically set it in the lower to mid berger and that was it. My default position for the last 5 or so years is the upper half of the berger and its been a game changer. If you want to see something interesting, find some stuff on how Jesse Broadwater set up his Hoyt Podium X Elite back in 2016 or so, it will blow your mind.

    • @walderman55
      @walderman55 13 дней назад

      Dude yes, I love it all for sure. I have been looking more into torque tuning. The weird thing about that is consistency. I feel like at times when I do it I am not consistent enough to know if it's me or if I am actually getting my tune that much better. I think I have seen the Jesse Broadwater video when he was in George Ryals shop. I need to rewatch it though and soak up more information. Thanks for the detailed comment. I love how you organized the tuning tips. I have been trying to take it one step at a time and learning the bow one step at a time. and with hunting season, I have put no hold with the tuning stuff. And to your point, Having the arrow through the top of the burger hole is definitely a huge game changer for sure! Thanks for watching and all the info man.

As an over 40 childless woman trying to navigate the very family oriented culture of hunting and archery, whose husband doesn’t share this particular interest, bless him, I do feel isolated sometimes and like an imposter. This speaks to so many things in life. Hubby supports my passion whole heartedly so that is a major win.

      @@theprepperdad I like how you put that. If and both have positives, you just have to find a way to make it work for you. So shoot the crap out of what you have and learn as much as you can along the way. Second hand information is great. But nothing beats learning it for yourself. And thanks I appreciate you thinking that it's great work. lol. I'll keep doing my best.

    Hey man, not sure [out of all of the bow channels] how yours showed up on my home page, but happy it did and just sub'd. I've watched a few of your videos and it's nice to see an authentic look at archery. At 46, I just picked up a love for archery. I'll hunt next season '25 while I dial it all in.

      Dude thanks for a complement as big as authentic. Because that's definitely the goal. To keep it all me. And thanks for subbing. I hope to keep this going for awhile. It's a fun creative outlet that surrounds a personal passion of mine.

    While the saying aim small, miss small is true, shooting dots can induce target panic as you try to hit a small circle. On the flip side, there are some people myself included who actually shoot better at 3D targets or even just targets with bigger circles on them. Why? It's because you have a larger area to let that pin float around in, and the pin will stay in the area the entire time. Trying to hit a 2-3" dot at 20 yards your pin is drifting in and out of the dot which can induce target panic and you'll want to punch the trigger as the pin drifts over it. On a 3D target you're shooting at a silhouette and while it does have defined borders, the overall area for your pin to float in is much larger, so you relax more. Even on a live animal while we all strive to make a perfect shot, deep down we know where the vitals are on the animal of pursuit and know that a less than perfect shot will still put it down.

      Oh yes yes and yes! I definitely agree with everything you just said. But something I learned as well with target panic when I first started Archery was kind of the lean into it more approach. Maybe it doesn't work for everyone. But I had two back to back seasons where I was locked off target and couldn't hit a big or small dot for the life of me. And at the time I didn't have words for it. But for me I kind of sat back and asked my self what was going on. And of course the quick answer was "I want to make a perfect shot" second I said "aiming so small and the pin covering up the dot is scary and frustrating." But once I settled my mind and got over the idea of not being able to see the dot I wanted it hit and actually getting happy when I can't see the dot and trusting my pin was where I wanted it was the moment I was able to truly work through my shot no matter what. Not that it made me Kyle Douglas or anything. But it was a simple reminder that I have what I need between my ear to fix my issues when it comes to mental lapses. Not that you asked for all of this. But I tend to personal work through issues and figure out the why rather then avoid said things that causes bad out comes. Especially if that same thing can also aid in my own personal growth.

      @@chads4556 Dude that's the truth I think for us all. So many possible points of contention. But personally I think it's dope you have one main thing you are working on. Because it's so easy to get lost in wanting to fix it all at once. But sounds to me you are on it. If I could be of encouragement, won't let the boogie man that is "target panic" get to you. So much of it is simply being able to focus on what you want to instead of being concerned about what distracts. Which then leads to being locked of. At least that's my working definition. You sound pretty solid so just trust your shot and keep killing it!
