    Hey all, I realize that some say to move the rest in the opposite direction of what I explained in the video. I shared what works for me. If what I explained doesn't work, try a small movement in the opposite direction and hopefully your results will get your BH hitting with FP

    First time viewer and I have been shooting bows since I was 11. I have been bowhunting since the age of 12 and I'm 50. I'm glad you are showing the good and bad shots. And you do a great job of explaining tuning broadheads and field points... Most people don't realize if your bow is tuned and your consistent in your anchor and form you can shoot fixed blade ( cut on contact) heads just as good as expandable heads. Awesome job on the video 👍👍

      Wisconsin bowhunter1968 that’s because most people don’t properly tune their setup. Squaring up the bow and putting it in spec is the easy part. Tuning properly spined arrows to the bow isn’t quite as easy and it’s time consuming. Once it’s done, fixed blades fly every bit as good as field points.

      Thanks for checking it out. However there were two videos prior to this one on modified French tuning, and one on walk-back tuning. That's why the broadheads hit where they hit in this video. Sometimes I need some vertical adjustments to my rest, sometimes I don't once I get to this point in broadhead tuning. Check out video one and video two.

    Love the videos. I always have watched and followed exactly all steps in all 3 of these videos about French, walk back and broadhead tuning and it's provided me great results. What is your opinion on bare shaft tuning? First I shot a bare shaft through paper to get a perfect bullet hole from 10 yards. Then I backed up to 20 yards and shot the bare shaft and fletched arrow towards the bullseye to get them both hitting together. Once I accomplish that, is there any point of still running through your process on these 3 videos of French, walk back and broad head tuning? Lots of people say to bareshaft tune because if you can get your bare shaft to fly the same as your fletched arrow, your broadheads should fly the same as your field points. In other words, which method is better between bareshaft tuning and your method of french tuning, walk back tuning and broadhead tuning steps and is it necessary to do them both?
    Thanks

    • @SomewhereInWisconsin
      @SomewhereInWisconsin  Год назад

      Great question. The methods in these three videos are great for ANYONE to use. Kind of a beginner guide for someone who doesnt have as much knowledge or a cam system similar to the old Elites and Bowtechs. Bareshaft tuning takes a little more knowledge and possibly a press, draw board, and other archery tools besides an allen wrench. If you have the tools and knowledge, I'd bareshaft tune. Then check broadheads and broadhead tune IF needed after that.

      @@SomewhereInWisconsin Great. Thanks. One more thing, I can't tell which way you're pointing your index vein when you're nocking your arrow before shooting. It looks like you have the same launching rest like I do. Some Research says to point the index vein fletching down when using a launching drop rest. Another Research says to point the index vein fletching up. Some others say to point the index fletching away from the riser. I ran a test by spray white powder on my fletchings and nocked my arrow in all 3 ways. Shot an arrow with index vein pointed away from riser, index vein pointed up and index vein pointed down. It looks like my fletchings made contact with my rubber arrow holder in front of my rest when I had the index vein pointed away from the riser and when I had it pointed down.
      When I shot with the index vein pointed up, no contact was made so is that the correct way I should nock my arrow or which was should your arrow fletchings face?

      Thanks. Off handedly I don't recall the exact weight, but they are 350s, with a 50 grain insert and 100 grain tips. Probably between 420 and 440 if I had to guess.

      @@SomewhereInWisconsin The last 3 years I have been investing alot of time making arrows from scratch. If u start from a clean foundation by the time u start shooting u will cut down greatly all the outliers. Someone that was more into hiking & fishing asked me a year ago about bowhunting. I told him u need to learn to be a good archer & have confidence b4 u become a bowhunter. I started out as a trapper & duck hunter. I simplified things when I noticed that I understood deer better. It wasn't as random with deer. I've been tweeking things over recent years & I have come to a conclusion. All I care about is what happens @ the point of impact. The closer the better. What I didn't expect is that with modern technology u r far better off shooting a deer like a guy with a shotgun does. I'm talking about quartering to where your maximum energy is upon impact on the front of the shoulder on a deer & exiting slightly lower behind the farside front shoulder. Kills them close quicker than a spine shot which I wouldn't never take. The setup is heavier inserts & broadheads on a micro arrow which is 300 spine even though I'm only shooting with 63 lbs. @ the max. Great arrow flight is the key. I build 6 @ a time & I'm currently working on putting precision match weight Firenocks into my system. I'm doing this right now on 2 different micro arrows. Only 3 will be lighted nocks. The other 12 will be identical in weight except they don't have the lighted function. I have never shot lighted nocks but for video purposes I will be in 2021. My 520+ grain arrows r giving me tighter groups where I don't have stray right or left shots. My sight setup is very open & it helps me w/o a rangefinder to know where I have to aim to hit my target.

    @jcam6809 5 лет назад +1

    HI SIW, Please explain why you take the time to walk back tune and get the rest to perfect center shot. Then when you BH tune you take it out of the perfect centershot. It seems the two would be mutually exclusive? One you work to get the rest perfect then you knock it out of perfection. Also similar to Kolt I followed video (very well explained on all 3 vids) and found the BH hits to the right of the FP. I made micro adjustments to the rest left but both BH and FP move equally spaced to the left. If I had a panoramic target I could keep making adjustments and do a circle! lol.

    • @SomewhereInWisconsin
      @SomewhereInWisconsin  5 лет назад

      Hey Cam, if you walk back tune at say 60-80 yards you rarely have to actually move your rest left/right. If you only walk back tune to say 40 yards, your walkback may not be precise enough, so when you broadhead tune it becomes a bit more precise. Now, if your BH and FP never come together, but just move over, try going back to center with your rest and make those small rest adjustments in the opposite direction. That will usually bring them together. Let me know if that makes sense.

  • @fullwhackparamotoring2420
    @fullwhackparamotoring2420 3 года назад

    This sounds like a super time consuming way to tune a bow. Basically what your doing is making the arrow come off the rest perfectly straight, if it's not you will notice more impact shift with a broadhead than a field point. The much simpler way is just to paper tune the bow, it's much faster and works every time. I've never broadhead tuned, only paper tuned and my muzzy 3 blades always shoot in the same spot as my field points out to 60 yards which is as far as im sighted in for. If your not familiar with paper tuning look it up, it's super simple, quick, and only requires you to adjust your sight once.

    I bet you have a right helical on those arrows dont you. You can see at 5:55 your arrows come off and spin to the right then change back to the left right before impact. If you had a left helical on your arrows it would come off left and continue to spin that way all the way to the target. Get more spin,control, and forgiveness that way 🤘🏼

    • @SomewhereInWisconsin

It IS, however, very important to make sure each broadhead is identically oriented on each arrow so that when the arrows come off the bow, each broadhead catches the air the same.
