You've literally taught me all of the most important things about my hobby. So grateful for all that you share, your word is gold to me brother hope you're well happy holidays
I first learned with wood in the 70's and that was the last time I used them. Last year I was told by all the "traditionalist" that I should be shooting wood and they almost had me. Then I went to ETAR and on every course all I saw was broken wooden arrows! Not talking just a few, but in the hundreds! Quite happy with my carbons. I love my GT Hunters, same reason as you, tough and they are a workhorse. Love your videos, keep it up!
Cheers buddy!
Yeah I know what you mean... Field courses are graveyards for wooden arrows ;)
Have you seen any broken bamboo arrows?
@@jk07ist
Yes I have
Thank you Chris! yeah i'd have thought so too, but the Easton's work out a few pence cheeper from where i get them from.
Take care and Shoot straight
I really appreciate you tutorial on this subject. You help me decide what im looking for. I'll let you know how they work out for me. 🇨🇦
Wait, I am confused. "GoldTip Bearpaw Timberstick"?? But GoldTip and Bearpaw are 2 different companies... ??
Video quality is kinda bad but they look like gold tip tradtionals.
The Axis is still my favorite overall arrow. Even though the insert can be a pain to install correctly. Jim, You have come a long way! Not that these early videos are not fantastic. FWIW. One can't go wrong with the Gold tips or the Black eagle instinct micro diameter or the ............ :-) Lots of good carbon these days
TheNockingPoint I still keep find myself drifting back to them 😅
Thank you Jeff
If you gave up wood arrows, the you are not using a compound bow, as I was told not to use wood arrows in such a bow! So, yeah, carbon would be good in both compound (definitely) and recurve, bows!
I have some older aluminum arrows with 5 inch feathers,and really like them in my old "Bear" compound bow! I will look into getting some of those! Thanks
If that is a stuffed rabbit behind you, they sure grow big in England!!!!
Hi Jim,
I'm wanting to try the Easton Axis, on my KG atalanta bow 44lbs. which spine weight would you recommend?
Thanks
Well-done. Thank you !
Nice video Jim! I've been waiting for this showdown. I thought the Easton's were the more expensive arrow?
where can i get these gold tip tinder stick arrows in the uk my friend?
ill stop shooting Beman centershots when a start missing with them. lol
What's your opinion on the gold tip classic XT shafts that are a smaller diameter but thicker walled? Tougher, better than the gold tip traditionals? I figured you're the man to ask out of anyone.
k w if it’s the ones I’m thinking off they are a 9/32 diameter, and they are great tough little arrow they even come with a ballisticcollar system that makes them really solid!
Hope that helps buddy?
hey jim, great video! but im just wondering if you would have any recommendation on the best balance between cost and performance for someone like myself just properly getting into trad archery, (i dont really fancy blowing 200 bucks on a dozen arrows im probably going to break shooting trees)
any help at all is appreciated!; and just on a side note i have recently subscribed and am loving the channel, i'll definitely be staying tuned! (:
Thanks so much for watching... As for arrows as long as they are the right spine and are straight you can shoot anything. Most archery shops will sell budget arrows... Hope that helps. Take care!
Jim, I know you don't like to compete that much, but you mention using the carbons for 3d's. Do you think you can be competitive against barebows (NFAS classification)?
Hi +Jason Barrow,
I see what you mean, (for those that don't know) bearbow tend to be metal riser's with weights, pressures buttons and rather fancy arrows... But on a good day I can give em a good run for their money ;)
I've done GNAS frostbite's and Portsmouth's against barebow and Olympic style recurve and tend hold my own... (Still only on a good day ;)
But to be honest, I just love to shoot, scoring and competitions have never really been my bag...
Thanks for getting in touch
Jim
Hey Jim, what feathers do you use on your easton axis?
Cheers
Thank you for info.
What type of feathers do you have on the easton trad?
Have both, 500 spine, 34 lb recurve finger release. Easton uses 175 gr insert plus point. Gold tip uses 141 grain insert plus point. Gap shooter (was string walker). Easton was heavier, faster after 15 yard, more penetrating, better grouping (for me) at 20/30/40 yards. After running a 28 target-trail for months, only have 5 gold tip left (out of a dozen). Will stick ti easton once I run down to 3. Made 2 dozens of easton. Gold tip does have a thicker coating, refletching twice without reaching the carbon yet.
Great video!!
i have the gold tip traditionals, mybe not as tough as the timber sticks, but tougher than the axis, not aspretty as the axis, but prettier than the timbers. Feels like good middle ground (:
You should be more concerned about the arrows performance rather than how pretty they are. That being said, you can't beat a lacquered up cedar arrow for sheer beauty.
can you shoot the gold tip arroows on targets?
Nathan Emanuelsson
Nice vid. Very helpful.
Cant go wrong with a gold tip.
CatfishMan Many years on I still think they are a pretty solid arrow!
No love for Aluminum?
+foxtrot45 Personally I like a heavy arrow, reason i switched to carbon is that I can still have a heavy arrow but focus more to the tip. same overall weight but more focused energy transfer on target.
My first real arrows were some aluminum arrows. I don't have a single one left that's straight. That's why I've never touched aluminum again. They bend so easily.
Purely out of curiosity, why don't you hunt?
Tyler Parker unfortunately bow hunting has been outlawed in the uk since the 80’s
Oh that's right.. that is unfortunate. Id have to move lol
great video
Why does he have such huge feathers - when in fact - I assume - he perfectly tuned the arrows to fly straight anyway?
Looks good, easier to catch on camera, and he doesnt do much long range so it corrects the arrow in flight quicker. A lot of reasons, and like i said they look damn sexy.
Prefers stability over speed I guess...
Do you fletch your own arrows? If not where can I get them fletched like that?
jarrid carter yeah I fletch all my own arrows, I just use a large helical clamp with an offset :)
