It would be even BETTER if you did a whole video on setups choices. You have successfully pushed many of us into this with excitement but we are hitting a brick wall with tuning........lol. A complete tuning (or setup) video would really help us out. IOW nock heights, tiller, arrow weight & length and how that affects your crawl distance, tuning and noise levels. I see a lot of folks (me included) that have jumped in because of this video series (and thanks for that) but have questions about tuning. I think this is more advanced and skip over the basics that we need. Thanks
Been hunting in the Allegahney Natl Forrest for many years, in the Tideoutte area. You are most likely in the 4 point area, and wish we were too. Good luck on your hunt this season..
Great video. Please keep these tech videos coming. I would like to see one on setting nock height. What do you look for and etc. where do you start kind of thing. Thanks
I shoot a 51 pound bow with 600 grain arrows traveling at 185 feet per second. Of course my 32.5" draw helps with that. I would like to shoot those arrows will be collars which makes them extremely tough. But they don't come long enough for me. I shoot full length 34" Black Eagle vintage. They're great arrows but I don't have any choice anyway.
I tend to run even tiller to slightly negative when running a crawl. I've started having the bowyer tiller my bolt down bows like this Wengerd 1/8" negative tiller.
I have a few dozen Day 6. The Day 6 are incredibly tough arrows. By far the toughest 0.166 Family Arrow. This Gold Tip Classic XT in the .204 family is tougher than the 0.166 platform just by geometry in nature. I wouldn't hesitate to walk into the woods with either options, great quality arrows. I almost ran the Day6 this season, but the Trad Classics fit my goals for my tuning recipe better this year for Whitetail.
Wondering about your arrow set up. You said the GPI and the point weight, but are there weighted inserts in there also? How much FOC are you looking at with current set up?
We sell the accutune strike plate at www.thepusharchery.com - Trent has a few accutunes at his shop for the design work and building of the accutune compatible shelfs. Just gotta tell him you want your bow to be accutune compatible.
at the beginning of the video you mentioned that you had 500, 400 adn 340 arrows, but then you only referenced the tip weight in tuning, did you only shoot one size shaft in this tuning or did you shoot the different arrows against each other too?
Great question. Technically, my tuning began a few weeks earlier. I had 500's and 400's at my disposal. I was planning on hunting with my shorter 40 lb limbs on this riser, but ended up deciding on the 64" 47 lb limbs for the season. The 500's and 400's were just a little too weak for this rig. So I knew a 340 was going to get me there. So upon receiving the 340's in the mail at the beginning of this video, I knew it was just going to be a tip weight and accutune exercise. (I could have got the 400's to work for me, but I refuse to cut arrows any more. The longer the arrow the better the sight picture and gaps for aiming) So 340's were the ticket at full length. Hope that answers your question.
Is it possible to get a false reading of too stiff? My bareshafts are slightly weak but shooting straight up the middle so I went ahead and fletched them because I can’t really cut anything off my arrow due to my 31” draw. My bareshaft still shoots straight up the middle with the tail kicked about an 1” to the left but my fletched shafts are shooting 8” left consistently. The arrows are flying perfectly other than the POI. I’ve tried moving the accutune in and out in small incriments with very little change in impact. My arrows are 32” 250’s 100grain insert 300 grain point. I’ve tried points from 125 up to 300 and the 300’s bareshafted the best. I’ve never ran into the issue before so not sure what to do

Have you made a video for setting up a shelf? I need to set up a samick discovery for shooting off the shelf.
Thanks for the vid. Very informative. More info on the ghillie wraps please! They look amazing.
WHAT ARE THEY I WANT THEM.
Wondering how much they slow the bow ;)
GREAT video and those arrows from D&M are SWEET!!!! 🏹
Great video. Please keep these tech videos coming. I would like to see one on setting nock height. What do you look for and etc. where do you start kind of thing. Thanks
Love it! Great stuff, Matt!
Can you shoot vanes with an elevated rest with the Accutune? Suggestions?
C S yes, you can with a small springy on the end of the accutune. Could also run the new Trad Vanes off the shelf from AAE
This was one of my favorite videos you’ve put out so far
Awesome video , wish you were closer to me man I need someone teach me the tricks of the trade !!
Great video, I always learn something new from you. Do you have a video on how you made those limb covers?
Awesome vid Matt. This will help me a ton! I used the projector and screen and blew you up real big like at Etrar lol
New sub here! Love the vids bro I'm working in western Pennsylvania from Alabama! Thanks for great content!!! God bless

I believe Easten has a 36" they just came out with.check it out
thanks mate, got my bow shooting sweet as following these recomendations ...
Do you have any recommendations / tips on tiller adjustments for a fixed crawl shooter?
I tend to run even tiller to slightly negative when running a crawl. I've started having the bowyer tiller my bolt down bows like this Wengerd 1/8" negative tiller.
Whats your arrow length and bow poundage for this tuning?
Great video Matt👍
i am so ready for the season
Think those are tough try daysix or bishop arrows once!!!
I have a few dozen Day 6. The Day 6 are incredibly tough arrows. By far the toughest 0.166 Family Arrow.

Thanks for the vid! Is there another that shows the ghillie sleeves fab? Thanks!
Wondering about your arrow set up. You said the GPI and the point weight, but are there weighted inserts in there also? How much FOC are you looking at with current set up?
Would you break down the arrow and components to get total weight?
~150 gn Tips / Broad Head
~14 Grains Feathers / Vanes
~10 grains nock
~90 grains halfsert + collar system
~390 Grains arrow shaft
~5 to10 in paint for cresting
~660 Grain total
Man I like that riser. Is it the 18"?
WILLIAM ROBINSON yea
Where can we buy those ghilli sleeves? Thank you.
Where do you et your feathers?
Accutune Adjustable Side Plate...is this a standard thread size for risers with side plunger holes?
Yes, it runs the standard 5/16-24 thread, standard on all risers with plunger holes.
Is trand offers the strick plate as well the hole system?!
We sell the accutune strike plate at www.thepusharchery.com - Trent has a few accutunes at his shop for the design work and building of the accutune compatible shelfs. Just gotta tell him you want your bow to be accutune compatible.
Where do you purchased these hot melt pucks? I can't seem to find anything about them on the web.
I thought left was weak and right is stiff? Anyway cool video, are you using feather to nose?
No sir. Right is Weak and Left is Stiff for a right handed archer. Switch that for a lefty.
If the arrow nock is left in flight its weak if the arrow (bare shaft) lands right of the fletched group its weak for right handed shooter
What Riser are you using ?? And do you have Accutune in stock ??
at the beginning of the video you mentioned that you had 500, 400 adn 340 arrows, but then you only referenced the tip weight in tuning, did you only shoot one size shaft in this tuning or did you shoot the different arrows against each other too?

Great video brother!
What would be the best arrow weight for a 50lbs recurve

My bareshafts are slightly weak but shooting straight up the middle so I went ahead and fletched them because I can’t really cut anything off my arrow due to my 31” draw.

witch tactical switch model or dimensions on front of your bow ?
MAY I get the bow brand and name? Thanks
How far away were you when tuning this bow?
What are the specs on the bow and what arrow spine? Thanks!
10 to 12 grains per pound of draw. The heavier the arrow the more energy it can soak up from the limbs and will make the bow more quiet.
how to fix arrows going let altogether?
for traditional recurve with only plastic rest
With all that adjustable jazz why don’t you just put some cams on that puppy
-Ed
Does your name happen to be Ed? 😂
@@colingarcia95 Hahahahaha. There is an Ed in every bunch...
Colin M Garcia yes sir i am an Ed and these damn kids don’t understand the beauty in simple old fashioned matchstick precision. 👍🏻🏹
Great vid. But wife keeps asking me to turn down the screechy music.

Makes you wonder how primitive man ever killed anything with a bow.
Accutunes outta stock.
Should have them in stock next week!
Thankya sir. Will keep an eye on it.
You are 'plucking'... You're follow through is an after thought...IMO.
