Been practicing with the kids telling them regardless of the weapon line her up I that front leg in that little pocket I the v. Working my way up to heavier arrows and sharp fixed blades. Starting the journey down the rabbit hole. 🙃
Thanks for great content! I switched over to a 635 grain arrow this season. Shot 3 deer and they never left my eyesight!!!! One was slight quartering in shot and it destroyed everything. Broke every bone it hit and kept right on going through her!!!! Never going back to a light set up ever again!!!!
YES, especially here in Amish country. SO many people hit broadside deer and the deer doesn't go down. I find occasional deer lying dead on my property with horrible gut shots and nasty smells from bad shots. More people need to 1: practice and 2: learn anatomy.
I'm here after loosing a buck to a shot like this, with a light arrow and a rage broadhead. Never found a drop of blood, just found the arrow broken 7in from the broadhead. Thanks Ranch Fairy I'm a believer on shooting "man arrows" now.
After watching this 1 year later it still holds water. Hunters that have switched over to the adult theme & have matching field points can try this. After confirming your points & heads & your bow tune r in sync get yourself a 3D target. Get up in a 🌳, safely & shoot that target. Shoot @ different distances, angles & heights in the 🌳. Being able to see your point protruding out the other side trains the brain & after a few summer months u will be more confident going into the season.
Love heavy arrows or hate em, you can't dispute the biological facts on display here. These are hands down some of the best educational hunting videos on the market!
On Ranch Fairy advice / watching all vids, switched this year from 408gr flappers (Grimm Reapers) to 611gr fixed. As luck would have it #1 target buck quartering in. I took confidence shooting well forward that my adult arrow would make it through shoulder and reach lungs. Bingo. Not only made it to lungs but passed through like a laser. Thanks a ton RF!!!
@@RanchFairy ok so I understand what you been saying about foc and shot placement and I couldnt agree more. I just recently started watching your videos and love them. My question is I live in ohio and hunt whitetail deer my current arrow build is a victory vap ss elite300 spine arrow with 100 gr. Insert and 125 grain broadhead somewhere around 14 to 15 % foc I am wanting to go higher foc but not sure if it would be practical for hunting whitetail deer guess my question is what's your honest opinion? Because being new to the foc stuff im not sure whether to go higher or stay where I'm at unfortunately I didnt get a shot at a deer this year to test my current foc out
@@RanchFairy the setup definitely flies I bareshaft tuned the arrows and every arrow in the quiver bareshaft will stick in a 3d target straight at 15 yards. I also nock tuned the arrows after fletching them and putting broadheads on them and definitely fly straight with the magnus black hornet ser razor 125 grain broadheads and definitely sharp I can shave with them thanks for the advice sir
Another great video. Thanks for all the tips and real life data. Just got my ranch fairly kit. Can't wait till next year with adult arrows and single bevel heads
Great series. Found you through THP and after watching this series and a couple of your interviews I am revamping my whole set up for this season. Thanks!
Shot my best buck to date this year at 30 yds. Quartering to me and for the first time shot in front of the shoulder. He didn't make it 40 yds and piled up. Spreading the word about the Ranch Fairy to all my hunting buddies. Shoot Adult Arrows!
Some 3D targets the kill or 10 ring is just too far back,but it's where you need to shoot for score. And some of them are in fairly correct orientation but a little high, Which is reinforcing bad habits for hunters
Primarily a rifle hunter, I bought a .270 since it had more then enough penetration to drive through a mule deer (150 GN partition). For elk I upgraded to the 300 Win Mag 200 grain Accubond for the same purpose. Coming to Archery I am very surprised with the fascination for light arrow weights. The principle is the same to range and dial the animal, but the terminal ballistics is vital to the successful completion of archery and rifle hunting. Thanks for the great info. My arrows for the ranch fairy test kit will be dried tomorrow. I am stoked to determine my hunting weight out of my Mathews V3.
You are awesome. Full stop. Maybe I am just basking in the limelight of the Browns' playoff win. I am from Wisconsin but love me some underdog - go BROWNS!! Heavy arrows and sharp broadheads - unbeatable!!
Holy crap to funny. The day I Signed on to your channel and started to believe what you were laying down. I started to think about all the deer I have shot at and the shot placement. And I could not agree more with what you are talking about!!! The deer I shot fwd dropped much faster than the deer I have shot Father back hands-down. I realize Quarter to quarter away it doesn’t matter. what matters is the Location I choose to shoot at for the way the deer standing forward always better According to my recollection of all my hunts
Watched a video by Brandon McDonald which was very FACT oriented. He stretched a hide across the top of a bucket & placed the bucket on the top of a bathroom scale. The Iron Will & Valkyrie shined with very little force to put them through the hide. I wouldn't shoot a woodchuck with the epic failures of some of the other heads.
Great stuff Troy! Have to agree with everyone that replied before me... this is excellent information and should be shown in every Hunter Ed class! I was hoping you would get your hands on Jake & Greg's footage, as soon as I watched them I was thinking to my self, self...the Ranch Fairy needs to show why these shots worked. Thanks for sharing.
It seems like for years, almost every time I aimed "behind the shoulder" the arrow many times hit EVEN FURTHER BACK than I was aiming. The buck I shot in October this year, more forward, perfect broadside shot directly OVER TOP the leg, instead of back behind it, ran about 30 yards, and stopped, looking around for several seconds. I think he would have fell over right there, but he winded me and took off. Still fell within sight. 630 grains went thru him like butter and buried in the ground. The confidence of shooting a heavier arrow set up with a carbon steel monolithic broadhead, goes thru the roof, and quartering in shots no longer seem like a big deal. 200 to 250 grains up front seems to be magical on improving arrow flight as well.
Thanks for all your hard work RF! Matthew Parkman here no shots yet getting close very excited to see what the new settup does on a deer ole stinger buzz is ready
I would love to see some necropsies of shots through shoulder blades. The haters argue why would you want to break the shoulder, there's no vitals behind it....just a wounded deer.
I’m new to bow hunting. Currently shoot a 40# ILF recurve. Enjoyed watching the series and found myself wondering if the type of shot you recommend with “adult arrows” would still be possible or if I would need to get heavier limbs.
That necropsy was a great visual education. I actually had an interesting doe kill this past season that was a single lung and liver hit with an exit out the stomach. She actually died super fast. I can provide some photos and a little more detail if you're interested.
I have shot two deer now out of alot of deer that guts came out of there arm pits I deboned em and packed em out I should of checked em out better neither deer went over a hundred yards both bled good one left piles of chewed grass along with blood on trail and I couldn't believe how it was possible mowing the entrance and exit I took pics because I was amazed I shoot a pile of game and have with a bow for over twenty five years and still can't believe how the unexpected can happen on a perfect shot
Ok, so in the process of already building new arrows for next season I have come to a question that I think you can help me with. Where I live the ground is very hard and rocky, in anticipation of these arrows blowing thru the deer and burying in the ground, I know from experience around here that breaks or at least bends the broadhead. So my question is, will "one piece of steel broadheads" handle that and still spin true or should I just shoot something like a magnus black hornet where it's cheaper to replace?
I shot lots of deer quartering to and hit one lung and smashed the liver now mind you I shoot the flapper special 5000s most deer died fast while a full sprint was taking place massive blood loss has its affects but I got frustrated with myself a lot for simple not shooting forward enough good video
🤣🤣🤣🤣so true!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 I actually killed one with a knife before. The irony is that I shot her first and it was a spine shot with a twizzler that didn't penetration enough to get through to her lungs or heart, so I finished her off with a knife. I'll forego the rocks though 🤣
Hey RF, would you recommend this type of shot for a 26.5" draw, 50# draw weight, with arrow specs of 584 grain arrow and foc of 19%? The bh is a 175 gr grizzstick Samurai
Been looking forward to this wrap up. Yep, that was me, shooting behind the shoulder. And I knew how the diaphragm is shaped🥴 I thank God for you just throwing the truth out there, unapologetically, because I would rather take rebuke, reproof or even mocking to get the point across, than to take offense and get butthurt. You've got the best content I've seen on basics of bow hunting. Hopefully your work will spread everywhere a stick and string is wielded.

Aim for the correct exit. Golden rule by RF. good video !
There is literally no better illustration of shot placement than this. Thanks for the work involved in creating this video.
I have the feeling that most people think the bone in the shoulder runs straight up when in reality there is a good sized "V" right above the elbow.
