Proving the Bend Test - Gold Tip Warriors
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 авг 2024
- Putting the Bend Test up against a full dozen of Gold Tip Warrior arrows to see how many will shoot a clean bullet hole while paper tuning. The Bend Test to tune arrows is proving to be a much simpler, effective, and more efficient way of spine aligning arrows. Nock tuning is effective, but can be a long a tedious process. This method will get arrows flying well and grouping down range. I provide a quick demonstration and then take them to the paper to prove this theory. I still firmly believe this is better than Nock Tuning.

Tired it, 5 out of 6 bare shaft arrows were spot on through paper, one nock had to be rotated maybe 20°. Thanks Matt 👍
Awesome!
I just did this test about 10 days ago with a dozen Gold Tip Hunter XT's 300 spine and had 12 bullet holes AMAZING 😜. After watching your 1st and 2nd videos on this arrow bend process this has changed the way I tune my arrows. Your results conform that as well. Great video, Brother 😉👊🇺🇸
That’s awesome to hear!
One thing I wanted to mention that I didn't tell you. Using the same type of insert on both ends of the arrow I find extremely important and leads to better consistency in the overall bend test. That's the conclusion I came up with. I just wanted to pass that on😉@mat_in_texas
Interesting video sir. Job well done.
Thank you
I found this to be a very interesting and well presented video. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I always use the Bohning blue,never had a problem. To take them out just put the points in a cup of boiling water for a minute or two,that's enough to take them out.
Good to hear
Thanks for the video! Good information!
Glad it was helpful!
This is absolutely changing the way I am going to tune new arrows, as well as stripping the vanes and tuning my old arrows this way. Thank you! How do you like the Modsaw, and how long have you had it?
The modsaw is fantastic. Awesome do-all tool for an average guys. No frills, just gets stuff done. I couldn’t recommend it enough.
@@mat_in_texas heck yes! Stripped, bend tested 10 arrows and 10 bullet holes through paper followed all on the first shot. 🙌🙌
@@greenem23 Dude! That’s awesome!
Used that hot melt for years with great results. Just clean out the carbon in the shaft. Plus I can heat it lightly and clock my broadhead to my liking. Cool video. I made an adapter for my Last Chance press for spine testing. 👍👍
What kind of adapter? I’d like to see it
@@mat_in_texas it’s just some wood blocks that shorten the gap between the horizontal arms. I use the wheel to gently squeeze the shaft.
@@timbow50 a bow press is on my short list.
No Press Needed. Just Press Down With 2 Blocks of Wood. Fast and Easy.
Great video and trouble shooting. 🎯
Thank you
I still buy the most expensive bows and arrows as well do this bend test as I have an archery addiction 😂🤣
It’s a fun, expensive, but fun addiction.
@@mat_in_texas can you do a bend test for recurve bows? As I also have an archery addiction😅
@@elbacon158 I believe so, just index the weak side away from the raiser and they will probably fly great.
So, what do you mean when you are referring to nock up? So essentially you mark the opposite side of the slope of the bend. For example, it is marked on the side that doesn’t have the bent carbon towards. Is this because you are reflecting under pressure it bends and curves out, the non curved is the weak spot? Then you mentioned you want the Knox up? But also referred to wanting the bend down. So the indicator of the weak side is down? Or the curve is down. So, to simplify it, the slit needs to correspond with the line? Sorry I’m over thinking it. And just learning.
All good friend. Asking questions is how we figure stuff out. I actually have another video that I go into depth on how to do this. This was more demonstration of the paper tuning. Go check it out. It should answer most of your questions.
you can use your bow press to do the same thing.
Yup, bow press works great!
Mat great video. I enjoy your testing and tinkering. If you later change to the heavier brass inserts, I am wondering if these paper results would change significantly. Thanks. JT
Thanks for stopping by! I’ve already applied this method to the heavier arrows for the MXR. When I swap this set of Warriors to the brass inserts, I’ll run all of them through the bend test again, but I’m not expecting to see any changes.
I find your discovery very interesting!!! I'm wondering if you happen to have then mounted broad heads to see if they shoot like the field points, or, is there even more diddling around to get them to shoot the same?
Getting them to tune through paper doesn’t mean broadheads will fly perfect. You’ll have to get outside and broadhead tune. This process makes broadhead tuning very easy. I’ve got a video about it on here too.
I Do Not Care For the "Blue" Glue. EASTON ARCHERY LOW TEMP HOT MELT is Great Stuff. Cool Tip in Water. Thanks For Sharing.
I’ve been told the glue that Iron Will sells is really good too.
How far are you from the paper ?
@@ernestroger3326 10-15 ft
So i just built this and tried this method. I think that there is too much slop in the drive head of the bar clamp. I had 3 trouble arrows out of 9 so 6 where bullet holes. These arrows have vanes on them as well. Im trying to come up with a way to tighten up that fitment of the pipe and the head that moved to squeezethe arrow.
If you have a bow press, that works really well too
There was a channel Samual White that used the cheapest Wallyworld arrows and just nocked tuned them. Shot amazing groups at 100 yards. But when a guy does this he’s running out of excuses, lol. 👍👍
Ya, I think I’ve watched those
So question , do this test before or after cutting arrows to length ?
Yes, you’ll want to have them cut to length and have the insert or point glued into the front
@@mat_in_texas I assumed but I figured I would check first, this is a fabulous process that saves a whole lot of time , and has a homeloader that knows 800/1000 rounds months we all know time is limited so and you buy the equipment and develop process to complete the task in math, obviously I will follow up make a paper but this seems to be in second process .
So my clamps got delivered today already had a 4 foot pipe, already tested it on six arrows that I had sitting around, yes as well noticed testing that laying it horizontally versus hanging it vertically there is a difference, more of a consistent flex vertically so once again glad I came across your videos this is definitely a timesaver, still will run through paper and not to but this is gonna save me so much time
Hey mat! Next time use plain hot glue sticks that are made for craft stuff. Much stronger than bohning blue
Noted
I concur , craft glue and much cheaper
The excess glue. Make sure you save it. Cause you can still use it. Instead of throwing it away
🤦 I should have known that…
Great video . fletch those arrows and shoot them through paper again and see what happens?
You think it will change?
I think it's more just wanting to see the complete build process and if anymore adjusting takes place. That's what I was wondering anyway. I'll check out the broadhead tune video it probably explains some of it.
This method can work but when adding fetching that goes out the window. Once Fletcher the paper tears change once again
Challenge accepted….
Mr. John Davis explain how it goes out the window, your arrow is going to flex no matter whether it's fletched or not the strong side/weak side of your spine is its DNA if you will that does not change once Fletching is added , now flight path might change so paper tuning is definitely a must follow up but your spine is your spine, please correct me if I'm wrong I'm always willing to learn
@Aldocello1 yes your right with your response I should of re worded my statement better the tune changes from paper tuning bareshafts then paper tuning fletched shafts it's just easier to skip the step of bareshaft thru paper and just paper tune fletched arrows since that's how we all shoot arrows in the end anyways it's just a wasted step in my opinion
This things legit!
It’s been working for me for years.
Great video, creepy music. Don't need that.
Thanks for the feed back. I used about half a dozen songs, which ones didn’t you like?
Honestly with any amount of hearing loss (most people past a certain age and probably ALL hunters past a certain age) any background music just makes it harder to follow the words. In my opinion when your talking no music is best. Good vids, thanks for making them.
I was legitimately waiting for the jump scare while watching. I scrolled through the comments because I knew someone had to feel the same way.
Spend more time shooting and less time fiddling with arrows and tunes. You'll see way better results. Paper tunes are just a starting point and mean nothing in terms of accuracy.
But fiddling is fun. You should try it sometime
