Good lighting and framing. Decent music choice. The multiple cuts were a bit much during the intro, but otherwise a good video. The machinist in me wants to turn that brass rod on a lathe to round the edges and give it a better finish. The archer in me thinks you are attaching too much mass to your bow, as I have seen you shoot with multiple weights on your riser. But opinions vary.
Can't remember off the top of my head. I purchased a handful of bolts of different lengths with different thread coarseness at the hardware store. I'm inclined to say it was fine thread. If it were me, I'd buy one of each and see which one fit the best. Wish I could be a better help on this detail. Good luck!
If you already have all of the hand tools to do the job, it does end up being cheaper. A Yost brass weight is currently about 50$, and it is an excellent BB weight. To make this 2lb weight I showed in the video, it cost me just over 30$ for the brass, the epoxy, and the screw in total. The 1.5 inch round stock comes in a bit cheaper, and will cost a little less than 30$ to build... There are cheaper stainless steel options out there too, like the x-spot BB weights on Lancaster Archery Supply. Those typically run about 20$ for a 12oz weight. I have a few of these. They are an excellent choice if you are on a budget, but want a nicely machined weight.
It definitely does. This bow is my hunting set up, so I'm not too concerned with World Archery rules for this bow, however, I will be using the weight for my indoor set up this year. So far the weight fits just fine on all my risers I shoot. Cheers.

@@hervevazeilles3790 yes, and thanks for the clarification for others who may not know. I am aware of the WA rules, and that the washer is a no go for WA competition. This is my hunting bow and I have set it up to my specs. I prefer a hunting bow to shoot as smooth and quiet as I can get it to be, hence the washer. Thanks for your comments. Cheers.
It does slow down the float and improve shot stability. You might not want to go as heavy as I did with this weight(32oz), but if you are looking for a better balanced bow with a slower float, I recommend a weight for sure.
I'm working on a video that will showcase the bow more, and I will be definitely shooting it with the weight. Thanks for your comment. I hope you enjoyed video.
Absolutely. Thanks for the clarification, for those who may not know. This is the bow I use to hunt, so I set it up to my specs. I like a bow to shoot as soft and quiet as I can get it.
To balance the bow, I would start out with a pair of 8oz -12oz weights, depending on the riser you shoot, and the naked balance it has with the limbs. I prefer a heavier set up to slow my float, so I tend to use 1lb weights or heavier. Your mileage may vary for what feels good to you, doesn't cause injury, and shoots best. Check out John Demmer's set up currently. From the latest videos I have seen, it looks like he is using the Yost weights in 11oz or 1lb range. Also look at Spanky Brooks set up. His bow weighs around 8lbs total, so it's really just personal preference, and what shoots well. Below are some links to places I get my weights from, if you wants to play with fine tuning your risers balance.

ruclips.net/video/U3gC8e03EB4/видео.html Take a look at Spanky in this shoot and how his bow reacts after the shot. There is not a lot of swing and the bow stays very much vertical in hand during and after the shot. This is how I like my bows to balance, and what I am aiming for when I set up a riser.

Hey I just built that weight and followed your instructions and it turned out perfect, great video thanks so much for your work.
Hi Brad nice work. This is Greg. We shot together at Woodley range. See you at the range.
Hey buddy! Glad you like the video. I hope to see you the next time I'm in LA.

DIY Tuesday-World Archery Inspection Ring.
No rubber spacer allowed for BB (WA rules). Otherwise great video. Thank you. Keep them coming.
5/16 fine or coarse thread?

@@PointOnArchery fine thread wont fit
How much does all the equipment cost in order to do this project? Cheaper to buy a commercially made one!

I wonder if it would fit thru a 12.2 centimeter inspection ring.for World Archery.

Does the weight improve your ability to stay on target when aiming/shooting?

Could you show shooting with it.

the rubber washer between the riser and the weight are prohibited to WA rrules
Absolutely. Thanks for the clarification, for those who may not know. This is the bow I use to hunt, so I set it up to my specs. I like a bow to shoot as soft and quiet as I can get it.
seriously, a little piece of rubber dampening is prohibited?
where do I get a rule book? Thanks
