I’ve came into archery just a few months ago and I’ve probably watched hundreds of videos on archery which I’ve learned a lot and have enjoyed, but this video has earned my first thumbs up. Very informative and straightforward. Thanks for the content and hope the bow building process course is everything and more of what we need to do and in what order. You got a new subscriber today.
If you were a member of the Comanche tribe, say 300 years ago, and you wanted or needed to build a bow, all you would need is a knife and a tomahawk/axe. That’s all that was used, and many fine bows were made. Even in today’s age, that’s all that is necessary. I speak from experience.
Great question! The hot melt absolutely works, but, it is not as strong as the epoxy that comes with every batch of easton axis arrows. The way the HIT insert is designed, there is no lip on the insert to hit the outside of the arrow shaft. So upon impact, the glue around the arrow is what helps hold the broadhead and insert solid, rather than pressing against the end of the shaft. By having a glue that doesn’t bond as tight, you’re relying more on the broadhead pushing against the end of the arrow than you are the insert pushing on the arrow from the inside of the shaft (more surface area and is centered on the arrow). On a hard bone impact on an animal, it’s my personal opinion that the epoxy will give you maximum strength with the HIT insert system. Hot melt absolutely does work, and works well, but I believe the epoxy gives the arrow even more strength than it already has. Hope this makes sense! - Josh
@@BowOnlyOutdoors that’s really well explained, I appreciate it. In the past I’ve had a couple inserts seat too far into the shaft and I wasn’t able to screw in a field tip. I thought hot melt would mitigate this but I like your thought process behind using the epoxy instead.
Great video lots of good info as are most of your videos. As for the Comanche stuff that’s great . But why did you watch the video on a compound bow ?
Pretty great info here again... but we need the X-TRA Dollar ... ;) THX 4 Sharing this knowledge...
You are awesome thanks 🙏🏽
Fantastic video! Thanks! 🙂

Thank you so much! Please let us know if any questions you may have about the course and we would be happy to help.
On that bitzenburger jig how do you tell how much helical or offset you’re putting on your arrow because I have one
Just visually, it doesn’t have a set amount of helical. It doesn’t take much to get the arrow spinning extremely fast.
thanks for the material list.
You’re very welcome! Happy to help

Thanks for the video good info
Great video - thanks for putting it together!
Great video. Thanks
great information..thanks
Good video thanks for the detail
Great content. Thanks
Why do a few of the bucks hanging behind have arrows laying in the rack are those the arrows they were shot with
Yes they were! Just something I did when I was younger to help preserve the memory.
Excellent thanks
What’s your thought process behind not wanting to use hot melt on Easton HIT inserts? I shoot 5mm axis and was wanting to switch to hot melt. Thanks!

Great video! What brand is the tool box?
Thank you! It’s just a Plano tackle box.
I put my arrows in their antlers too. 😊
Glad I’m not the only one!
Mine are near them in the grass behind them 😂
