My Traditional Bow Hunting Setup for 2019
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- This time of year I get a lot of questions regarding my traditional archery bowhunting setup. Questions like:
What kind of longbow or recurve to you shoot,what’s the draw weight for elk or deer, how heavy are your arrows, what’s FOC do you recommend, what kind of broadheads, etc.
This video will go over my bowhunting rig for this year. I’ll be chasing elk, whitetail deer, hogs, and anything else that I can. Additionally I’ll go over the stuff I carry with me in my Traditional Archery field kit. Here’s a quick rundown for later reference:
Bow square, fletching jig, fletchings, fletching glue, field tips, broadheads, tip glue, feather dry, extra bow string, string material, serving and serving tool, wood glue, torch, honing stone, nail polish, plyers, extra shooting tab or glove, extra clicker, point brush, and a few other things.
Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bowhunting, bow building, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!

That is pretty awesome you have your moms old make up case, I love it. I wish I would have thought about that. You are correct, it makes for a much finer story than some old tool box. I like you, more than likely bring enough stuff to help my buddies as well. Last year I took a new hunter out, he had a borrowed crossbow, the limbs broke when he took his first shot, luckily for him, he till connected and it was a good quick harvest. He learned the importance of having a sharp knife. He showed me his new knife this past week, he is excited, hooked and hunting with a compound bow this year.
Excellent video as always sir. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed week.

Love this one Clay, my brother and a good friend of mine used to do the 3d tourneys years ago. We all had boxes full of repair supplies. Saved the weekend for many a bow hunter, through the years. Even made , on the spot Flemish strings , for compound replacement cables that took down deer, that weekend it was made. I've even had to feed and clothe some of these guys too. It was all worth it, thanks.
Thanks for taking the time to do this Clay! I really like the fact you have your Mom's old makeup box! That's gotta bring some good-luck mojo huh? I have some old things like that that I cherish. Dads old tool kit, Grandpa's tackle box and my Uncles gun cleaning kit. They are all gone but their stuff lives on!
I don't think I'll ever stop watching your videos, atleast as long as you're still making them! :) Great vid.
Clay, I'm 66 and new to hunting. Picked it up just 3 seasons ago. Shooting both compound and recurve. Love your insights. Very helpful to this old rookie. Thanks.
Have fun Jim!
Great idea for building out the nocks with the fingernail polish. Gonna have to try that one on some plastic nicks as well. Thanks for the tips man!
the Fingernail polish is for those selfies with the big elk you brought down lmao......good stuff Clay.. good luck on the hunt.
Very Nice - as allways👍👍🙂
Love the nerdy part of bowhunting with bits and peaces of everything and so cool with a box with a story behind
🙂
Just a little tip I got from another bowhunter: I allways bring a little braided fishing line 0.06-0.10 diameter, it's the best material I've ever used for serving a nock point if the nocks for some reason don't fit - and it's extremely strong along with a needle if you have to make a repair on clothing, bagpacks, boots whatever 🙂
My mom had that same cosmetic box, (Black, not green) and I use it for my Archery “tool box”!! It even still has the mirror on the inside. Another great video!! Thank you
My mom's was tan.
Nice set up clay, shoot straight n goodluck in 2019!
Nice set up
That box is like a clown car. Didn't know what you were going to pull out next. Have a great, safe season.
Great video, can you do a demonstration of types of elk calls you prefer to use? Thanks and happy hunting.
Love that snakeskin.
Hi Clay
I was watching and at one point you have brought a smile to my face when I heard you talking about dental floss.
Don't you have it for an artificial sinew when you want to tie above the arrow knock or to fix the tip in place?
thank you for the video
I've never thought about fingernail polish for the nock fit. That is a GREAT tip.
I might have missed it, but I'm curious about velocity with these arrows.
I'm curious to see what your KE and Slug numbers are.
What arrows would be good for a 50lb bow at 28" draw (spine,broadhead weight, and length)?
As a newbie I’m lost to most the products you have in your tool box haha
I gotta do some homework
Do you have to use hide glue for sinew backing or is there a more waterproof modern type?
Do you have any advice on buying a draw knife? I'm looking to start making bows and am looking for a reliable draw knife for a reasonable price
What spine in # or pounds ie #55-60; #65-70; or how did Donnie rate his shafts
Always a flint steel and some char of some kind. Maybe a few coffee filters. I found that melting bees wax with toilet ring wax makes the perfect consistency for a bow string. Just mix both equal parts. Hope you have many clean kills this season.
Mubb.
Hmm. I tried 50/50 and thought it was way too gooey. I wound up with 2 parts beeswax to one toilet wax and that came in pretty good. I wonder what is different? Probably the tb wax. Different fomula.
@@jamescooper2618 maybe a different brand. I'll check when I get back home. Glad to see I'm not the only one using this method.
@@johnnywick2011 Ya, its fairly common, cheap, and a good way to make lots for yourself! Cheers!
I have to say i absolutly love that bow! What speed do you get from it with the hunting arrows?
Ceep them coming 😁
My guess. Mid 160's😀
As long as its above 70% efficiency you will get at least 160 fps with that bow design. Knowing clayes skill hes probably pushing more like 75% and above 165 fps
What do you find to be the best string silencers? Fur or wool?
The floss may be for a temporary or second nock?
You can fray the dental floss and tie to ends of bow and use as wind indicator
Tie it to your top limb tip and the end frays perfectly after a few shots.
So if I put a 160gr broadhead on a 400 spine arrow. Does this make my arrow a 460gr arrow?
What are the length of your arrows clay?
What knife do you use to dress
Can you make a hickory bow. Or a video about identifying trees.
Buy his book like I did. “ Traditional Bowyers Handbook”. Fantastic book, it’s all you need and away you go.
Ross McLeod I did and it is a great book that I can’t stop reading put the pictures are limited and are black and white.
I read a review on his book where someone complained about that, so I expected the worse, but when my copy arrived the pics are crystal clear and I thought they illustrated the points well enough. Big fan of Clays work. Hope he makes a packet!
There’s a 3 part series on hickory at www.patreon.com/clayhayes
Quick question about your arrow weight. Ive been using carbon arrows and with a 100 gr field point they come in at 450 gr. For most of what I can find an ideal total arrow weight should be 450-500. You are pushing 600, does it matter that much? Should I get arrow inserts to up my weight to push closer to 550-600 and then, should I be practicing with arrows that heavy? Im fairly new to this.
depends on the game you're pursuing, the bow weight, and your goals. I'm hunting elk at close range. I'd personally try to get it above 500 grains.
Hey clay, can you post a link for your bamboo shafts? I've been having a terrible time sourcing quality ones locally.
@@mainelyprimitive Hahaha I tried about 10 guesses at Googling different possible spellings of "Mainly Primitive" and didn't find it. Thanks!
So what is used for a glue on broad head ? I’ve saw the bamboo shafts and that’s the deal breaker for me I had a quiet a few broad heads that are eleven thirty to I believe I wouldn’t want to have to buy new broad heads
I don’t understand what you’re asking?
Any recommendations for a good longbow for hunting? I'm currently using a recurve but I'm wanting something like an English longbow, but cut with a shelf since I never used a shelf and all one price, don't want to mess with limbs or bolts ECT
@anybody with recommendations, tbh the Mandarin duck phantom looks nice but it only goes to 50 pounds
ash 098 50 pounds typically works for hunting unless your trying to go hunting elk
Meat heads? Where xan i go to look at those? & Have you ever tried grizzly heads
Google tuffhead broadheads. I’ve used grizzlies as well and they’re fine heads.
The good thing with dental floss if you have a few needles it makes the best sewing thread.
Dental floss is the duct tape of the string world! Hundreds of uses!
Me gustn mucho tus videos pero no se ingles y no se puede subtitular al castellano
My piercer says you should never store sharp broadheads in your Prince Albert.
What or who is a "piercer"?
Guys should stop worrying about gadgets & learn to actually shoot. Learn solid form & achieve Repeatable accuracy thru back tension.
Once that’s solid you’ll shoot any bow accurately & will stop searching for the “ One” every 3 months.
The reason I wanna know about his bow is not because I'm looking for bows, it's more because I like making my own kit.
What’s your bow poundage
This one is 63
Looks and sounds like he never made it to high school lol
Actually, he's an impressive guy and plenty bright.
Not nice. Why would someone make that statement.
He's a good guy
Martin Prus He has a Masters in wildlife ecology
You look and sound insecure and seems like you probably make comments like that to make yourself feel better about yourself. Don't be a loser Martin. Be a winner.
