Thanks! Been watching for years! Not very consistent but love the content! Great to see someone from PA and a fellow catholic. I hope everything with the move and the property is still going great. God bless
Thanks so much man! I’m still fighting the good fight, getting railed and persecuted regularly for being openly and unwaveringly and unapologetically Catholic, so I guess that means I’m doing something right. I’m humbled by your support. May God bless you a thousand times over.
Thanks for the video I’ve been trying to figure this out for months. And I love that you explained it simply. Most guys use a bunch of jargon without explanation to blow up their egos.
I've been hunting most my life but have never touched a bow. Wife is getting me one for Christmas to start hunting with. These videos help a ton. Looking forward to learning as much as I can
After a number of years of convincing my brother has gotten my wife and I into Archery. this channel has been an amazing guide! on top of which the Christian touch and genuine love of the sport is fun to watch and even more informative. ive watched close to 2 hours of video and this is by far my favorite clip to this point. THANK YOU for your work!
You just took a subject that alot of people make so complicated and put it in good old common sense language. Your videos are awesome, Sean. God bless you

This is one of the best, if not the very best arrow selection video I've ever seen. Your explanations are full of important details almost nobody ever takes the time to explain, specially to noobs and amateurs like some of us! Thank you!
HI Sean, I wanted to say thanks for making good wholesome archery videos. I also appreciate you as a archery ambassador. It's good for archery to have a positive channel. My two cents and keep up the good work helping archery grow.

Just getting away from the trigger and into the string and your videos have made the transition much easier. Thanks for all of your help, one of the best channels for information.
This was the first video that gave a very clear and concise explanation of how to choose the right arrow. Yes, there are mathematics involved but it is very easy to understand. Thank you for taking the time to break it down to the core.
Your videos are great! Me and my brother are hooked. It's refreshing to see someone genuinely trying to help new archers without a sales pitch for their "can't do without" latest, greatest gimmick. Thank you, keep up the great work!
cracking explanation. My simple head is going to need to watch some parts of this a few times over but I love how you break this 'dark art' down into a formula. Really appreciate people like you doing that - giving up your time and knowledge to help others :) Subscribed :)
Thank you, Sean, just got my hunting license and hunters safety course. I want to hunt wild hogs in the state of California and I'm getting ready to buy my first bow. I thank GOD that HE led me to your site! I'm 100% disabled Vet and look forward to my first hunt!

@@seansoutdoors I also watched your giveaway video today and listened to you brag on the goodness of God and pray on live video. Brother I couldn’t get to the subscribe button fast enough! Praise God!
I just started getting back into archery and felt I needed a refresher in all this and I must say...That was the best vid I've seen explaining arrow selection...Ever. Wish you would have been there when I was changing from shooting my 45# Bear recurve to my 1st compound, a Martin Fury 70@ 29", back in 1999. Now THAT was crazy ….like the difference between throwing a rock and firing a howitzer....Thanks again Sean and keep up the great work, God bless.
Best explanation I found by far, thank you. I am buying cheap 230 dollars bow from Aliexpress, has max 70 pounds draw weight. Now I know how to choose. Thank you.
What a FANTASTIC explanation of all things to be considered in spine selection of an arrow for you given set up for your type of bow and what you intend to do with said bow ....i learned this information 10+ years ago and I've read and listened to many articals and or videos on this subject and Sean's video is the BEST overall explanation o. The subject of arrow selection based on any reason or situation I've seen or heard 👍👍👍
I've only been into archery for about a year now and this video helps tremendously in understanding what the numbers mean and how to put them into perspective in shooting your bow. So thanks a lot !
Thanks for checking out my videos. I appreciate it. God bless you. www.amazon.com/shop/seansoutdooradventures www.seansoutdooradventures.com facebook.com/seansoutdoors/ instagram.com/seansoutdooradventures/
Finally there is someone to give very in-depth advice that doesn't come off as an obnoxious ass. Thank you for the information and a regular guy demeaner.
Recurve can be very different. I shot recurve Hoyt Olympic Style exclusively for years, and my initial provided set of aluminums that I mainly used in the 80s to 1990s were super slim, bullet target point only arrows with real (poly) shorter feather fletchings. They were really, really slim, but again, this was for some reason the standard for Olympic Recurve at that time, and for youth shooters. Looks like the new compounds are a whole other thing. Especially hunting vs. target shooting, of course. I don't recall if my arrows were Easton or what, they were so slim you couldn't even see markings on them, I do recall that, so maybe not. I also used the same arrows for outdoor and indoor shoots, although later I was mainly only shooting indoor, so I never switched sets of arrows by then.
Thank You, Sean for explaining everything so clearly. This is new information for a beginner like me, and you have really made it as easy as possible for me to understand. This will make it possible for me to have the right information needed before I make a purchase. "God Bless You, And Thank You!!" This really helps!!
So very thorough going through so much vital information, Sean! A final unasked for tidbit for new target archers, if you are shooting outdoors with any potential for wind, a larger diameter lightweight arrow will see a greater effect from the wind. But for indoors, obviously, you are spot on. Thanks so much for another awesome video!
Hey Sean thank you for your video. I asked you to make a video talking about arrows not too long ago and here it is that mean a world to me. I really like the way you explain everything, once again I appreciate you.
Thanks for checking out my videos. I appreciate it. God bless you. www.amazon.com/shop/seansoutdooradventures www.seansoutdooradventures.com facebook.com/seansoutdoors/ instagram.com/seansoutdooradventures/
You should be commended your explanation of arrows was perfect im so impressed I know its very difficult to explain, especially to someone that has no clue great job.
Excellent job, Sean. The best summary and explanation I've ever seen. I knew this information, but I've never seen it explained so well. I will be sending your video to others I'm trying to introduce to bowhunting.
Wow, thanks so much! I appreciate that! I do find it challenging to synthesize things in the most relatable way possible. I just do my best and hope that it is good enough, and comments like these make me feel as though I am at least coming close to my goal, so thank you! God bless ya.
Hi Sean, great information that you share. I love it. I used to experiment with fletching materials and insert concepts. Never went to market with any of them. One thing I can suggest to you in explaining the friction aspects of a wider, thicker arrow, no matter whether it's carbon or aluminum. A wider arrow has more total surface area than a more narrow arrow. More total surface area provides more area of friction in measurable units to occur as the arrow passes through a target, foam or flesh. Keep up the good work! God Bless.
Hi Sean, quite a complicated subject very clearly explained, I'm a beginner and find quite a few experienced guys on RUclips tend to overlook the small things that are 2nd nature to them, you however have taken the time for a more in depth but still easy to understand tutorial, Thanks, God Bless.
Thanks for checking out my videos. I appreciate it. God bless you. www.seansoutdooradventures.com facebook.com/seansoutdoors/ instagram.com/seansoutdooradventures/ www.amazon.com/shop/seansoutdooradventures
Thank you so very much for a comprehensive explanation. For someone who shot compounds in the early 90's with fingers and now getting back into archery shooting a release I was totally confused as to what arrows to use. I totally understood the easton charts and my 2216 arrows but carbon wow
Noob question: why DO you need spine in a center shot shelf? I mean a crossbow bolt is stiff as hell too. In my understanding spine was needed with traditional bows where the arrow has to travel around the handle.
When an arrow is shot from a bow it bends dramatically (archers paradox). Finger shoot it bends to the side, release shooter it bends down. A crossbow bolt doesn't bend because there is a solid platform under it the whole time.
Great video Mrs. Sean I buy the bow that you recommended me and now I am following your videos to see which arrows you recommend thank you and God bless you
I think this guy is great explanations are easy to understand as a teenager I had lessons my dad was a hunter I just target shooter but have been away from shooting for 40 years or more. A lot has changed in the 40 something years but I am getting a lot out of his videos Great videos thanks
Just started shooting.. THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDEOS! You explain everything so clearly and my form and accuracy have improved greatly since I found your channel!
In addition to all that I like to spine align my arrows too. I know there are different ways of doing that, but I invested in an arrow spine tester so I can find the spine and align it at 12 o'clock for my compound bow. I've found it really helps with precision shooting.
Hey dude much love from the UK, gonna make my first compound strings this week and all the good information i've got is from your channel so thanks buddy you've been well helpfull keep it dude. Happy hunting :)
Thank you Sean, You have a gift for teaching and I am thankful you are using it for our benefit. I'll be watching your vids over and over...slow learner lol
As an engineer, what did you think about the idea of a heavier arrow for better penetration for hunting. To me, this does not make sense unless the draw weight is turned up. momentum equals mass times velocity, so it seems that a heavier arrow would travel slower, thus the momentum at impact would be the same either way
This information is very helpful to me. Im going from target/ military rifle to target/ hunting bow. Theres a lot to learn and it's an interesting new direction with the tools and trade.
Wow, I have been on Easton's site and Googling my head off trying to figure out which arrow to buy as a newbie hunter. Seeing how you can spend $100/6 on the arrow plus a broadhead, I would like to avoid mistakes. This video answered most of my questions on arrows, thanks!
Awesome videos man! You have been helping me a lot lately trying to figure all this out..there us a lot more to all of this than one would think when starting out. Little overwhelming honestly. Thanks for your help
Bryan Zellinsky North Vancouver Enjoyed your discussion on the Physics of the arrow and it’s intentional flight. I had my head rapped around building recurve take down bows and now the arrow. Your discussion on the forces and the result was the best descriptions on the subject. Thanks I am a subbed viewer
These videos have been a super huge help for me, Thank you so much for taking the time to do so, i'll definitely be ordering the book after the hollidays :)
I shoot a long bow and ive ben a subscriber to your channel for over a year now cuz you seem ta really no your bow huntin and tunin inside and out and I still set up and tune conpounds for my son and who ever needs it thanx
Great video as usual..I may be a little "old school," even worked at "Bear Archery" in Grayling, Michigan about 40 years ago. I would rather IMO shoot an arrow too stiff (if in doubt) than the light side. Your spot on about kinetic energy. Most Midwest hunters probably shoot 90% of there deer under 35 yards. I shoot a G5 Montec 100gr. on a 27 inch 340 easton arrow at 60 lbs. I do have my 50 and 60 yard pins spaced apart a little more as you mentioned. I realize I could go with the lighter arrow..but am happy with this as it is. Also, I should mention I am shooting a moderate solo cam bow. What do you think?

One thing I will say, KE means nothing. Momentum is what we are after.. Don’t get caught up in the speed game.. Id never shoot an deer with anything less than 500g, knowing what I know now. a heavier arrow outperforms a lighter arrow EVERY time.. No such thing as too stiff of a spine! I love your comparison you make with the baseball and wiffle ball! Spot on!
Yeah, some people are like you and like 500 grains. I have crushed deer for years at 350 grains with the right tip, but I am hunting with 425 grains at the moment simply because that is what companies gave me to work with, lol. But, I have such a long draw that it really adds to the punch. For shorter draw lengths I usually recommend around 450 grains or so, but like you, some prefer 500 or more. God bless ya.
Sean, I shoot a 54lb elite with a 27.5 inch draw. What would be my perfect arrow weight for hunting? 6 grains per pound would be 324 grains. 400 grain arrow seems way too much?
324 grains will not give you very penetration. If you have 27.5 inch draw, I would use a cut on contact broad head and use over 400 grains. You will have more pin gap, but you will have a lot better penetration. At 324 grains, you could lose deer if you hit a bone and don't get good enough penetration.
waltcolemanblows Guys shoot 40-50lb recurves and longbows with 600+ grain arrows and blow through animals.. Don’t worry so much about speed. Shot placement is key.. The heavier the arrow the better! Like I said you can never have too much penetration, and there is no such thing as “overspend”.. With your setup I’d be a 500g
Hi Sean great videos firstly :-) second thank you for your explanation of the stiffness of arrows ect it is the best iv seen so far so a big well done and keep up the great videos :-)
Great explanation of all the different arrow types. I appreciate you sharing your useful knowledge with us. You cleared several things up for me. Thank you Sean!
@@seansoutdoors no problem as again great job of all your videos I am just getting back into bows as crushed and 12 years gone out of my life .. It is what it is
Hi Sean. Recent subscriber here, very much enjoying (lots of catching up to do) viewing your videos, even these older ones, and learning a lot about the many factors that go into setting up, tuning, arrow selection, etc. of compound bows. I would be really appreciative if you might find a bit of time to address a couple questions for me. I have an older Prime. Not real old....2017. It's a Centergy with the #4 cams which make it a 28.5" DL. I'm pretty new to bows and bow hunting so have much to learn but i'm excited about getting out and experiencing this new challenge. Truthfully i don't know for sure if this bow is exactly right for me...i bought it used. Admittedly not the best way to get into a bow and bow hunting, but it sounded like it was about right as a decent starting point. I'm 6 feet tall and from the measuring i've done i believe my draw length is around 29 inches, so it shouldn't be too bad. Just built myself a draw board but haven't yet had the chance to put my bow on it and check the exact numbers. I have some arrows (pre-fletched and with nocks in) that i bought just stock uncut lengths (a couple different brands and lengths), but haven't yet cut any of them down and put the inserts in. So that's one of my main questions..."finally" he says, lol... with a bow at 28.5" DL and knowing that one doesn't want the broad head too close to your grip hand, what would you recommend as a good length to cut to? I was thinking 29.5", from insert to nock throat where the string will sit. Thoughts? I guess that's really the only question i have at the moment. When i began this novel i was intending to ask about spine and total arrow weight, FOC, and all that good stuff, but realized there are so many good vids out there on the topics (including yours), that i'm going to just have to experiment a bit and figure that out myself. But if you have any helpful thoughts/tips on that you want to share, i'm all ears. Just for interests sake; 6 of my arrows are Carbon Express, Adrenaline, 350 spine at 9.9 gpi, currently at 31 inches long, front to nock throat. Thanking you muchly in advance Sean, all the best and God bless you and yours.
I've always used wood! Cheap Chinese wood arrows came in vogue when POC became hard to get, but my full, straight grained arrows, properly spined for my 70# recurve, which hammers the nock end at full draw, will handle any 70# compound that more slowly accelerates an arrow. Definitely my broadhead in front of my hand!!
It is extremely dangerous to shoot a wooden arrow off of a compound. It should never be done because the wood can split and splinter and go right through your hand. If you do that, please stop now before you end up hurting yourself very badly.
Best arrow video on RUclips. Outstanding job sir.
Thank you!!!
finally. an explanation that is easy to understand. thank you
Yeah, I'm from Quebec and I understood everything! I do really like your videos! You're explaining many relevant informations very clearly! Nice job!

When an arrow is shot from a bow it bends dramatically (archers paradox). Finger shoot it bends to the side, release shooter it bends down. A crossbow bolt doesn't bend because there is a solid platform under it the whole time.
Great video Mrs. Sean I buy the bow that you recommended me and now I am following your videos to see which arrows you recommend thank you and God bless you
Great
A must see for new bow owners. I appreciate the safety notes
Sure thing. Thanks for watching
All the details in one video, Thanks. This makes the info easily to absorb and make sense.
Thanks
Thanks. Big help as a newbie. I thought fly fishing was complicated!
You are welcome
Awesome channel and content Sean. Thanks for taking the time to help so many of us out.
Thanks, Andy. God bless you!
I think this guy is great explanations are easy to understand as a teenager I had lessons my dad was a hunter I just target shooter but have been away from shooting for 40 years or more. A lot has changed in the 40 something years but I am getting a lot out of his videos Great videos thanks
Thanks so much. Welcome back to archery!!!!
Just started shooting.. THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDEOS! You explain everything so clearly and my form and accuracy have improved greatly since I found your channel!
Thanks, Taylor. God bless you.
Your instuctional video help me to understand better in the selection of arrows . Thank you Sean.
Excellent! God bless you
In addition to all that I like to spine align my arrows too. I know there are different ways of doing that, but I invested in an arrow spine tester so I can find the spine and align it at 12 o'clock for my compound bow. I've found it really helps with precision shooting.
Amen, sounds good. God bless ya
Lol I just found this channel, I’m like I know this guy! Love the apologetic channel also!
Lol awesome! Thanks! This channel has been way more successful
I just bought a SB-1 based on your videos. Gonna take it out this weekend to my land. Wish me luck!
Good luck with it!
@@seansoutdoors Thanks man. you truly are the best source of archery knowledge on youtube. thanks again.
Great explanation.... another consideration in arrow construction is FOC calculation .
Thanks
after a couple years of reading up on and researching Arrow Spine.. the light finally turned on.. Thanks 👍..
great! God bless ya
Hey dude much love from the UK, gonna make my first compound strings this week and all the good information i've got is from your channel so thanks buddy you've been well helpfull keep it dude. Happy hunting :)
That is great! Thank you!
Thank you Sean, You have a gift for teaching and I am thankful you are using it for our benefit. I'll be watching your vids over and over...slow learner lol
Thanks so much, Robert.
I am a a mechanical engineer - this frightened me ;-)
jk - i was surprised how much engineering theory needed to be comprehended for 'primitive technology'
Yeah, there is a lot to it. Thanks for watching. God bless ya.
As an engineer, what did you think about the idea of a heavier arrow for better penetration for hunting. To me, this does not make sense unless the draw weight is turned up. momentum equals mass times velocity, so it seems that a heavier arrow would travel slower, thus the momentum at impact would be the same either way
Thanks Sean for making archery science easy. Chuck
Thanks Chuck!!!
This information is very helpful to me. Im going from target/ military rifle to target/ hunting bow. Theres a lot to learn and it's an interesting new direction with the tools and trade.
Awesome, welcome to the sport!
Wow, I have been on Easton's site and Googling my head off trying to figure out which arrow to buy as a newbie hunter. Seeing how you can spend $100/6 on the arrow plus a broadhead, I would like to avoid mistakes. This video answered most of my questions on arrows, thanks!
Great. Glad it helped a little. God bless you.
Great explanation, Sean! I know this will help a lot of new archers shorten their learning curve.
Great, glad you thoughts so. God bless ya!
Awesome videos man! You have been helping me a lot lately trying to figure all this out..there us a lot more to all of this than one would think when starting out. Little overwhelming honestly. Thanks for your help
You are welcome.
I'm not even finished, and I'm already liking this very much!
That is great to hear. thank you! and God bless you!
really well done. the focus on the basics is what I need most .
Thank you
Thank you for this video. I am about to start and this shed light on a lot of questions I had.
Great thank you
Sean, this video is very informative and super helpful to me deciding on which arrow to use. Thanks for clearing up a lot of confusion!
Thanks, glad it helped
Bryan Zellinsky North Vancouver Enjoyed your discussion on the Physics of the arrow and it’s intentional flight. I had my head rapped around building recurve take down bows and now the arrow. Your discussion on the forces and the result was the best descriptions on the subject. Thanks I am a subbed viewer
Great glad it helped. God bless you
These videos have been a super huge help for me, Thank you so much for taking the time to do so, i'll definitely be ordering the book after the hollidays :)
Thanks, God bless you! Merry Christmas!
Good job im out of shape, rusty and you answered my question
Thanks, Thomas. God bless ya
Great informative video. My minds been spinning trying to figure out what arrows I need. Helped me figure all the jargon out
Lol great
I shoot a long bow and ive ben a subscriber to your channel for over a year now cuz you seem ta really no your bow huntin and tunin inside and out and I still set up and tune conpounds for my son and who ever needs it thanx
That is great. Thank you!
Awesome video Sean, thanks! Gives a great, easy understanding of the topic that can be rather confusing if you're just reading about this online.
Thanks, Emmitt. Glad it was helpful. God bless you.
Great video as usual..I may be a little "old school," even worked at "Bear Archery" in Grayling, Michigan about 40 years ago. I would rather IMO shoot an arrow too stiff (if in doubt) than the light side. Your spot on about kinetic energy. Most Midwest hunters probably shoot 90% of there deer under 35 yards. I shoot a G5 Montec 100gr. on a 27 inch 340 easton arrow at 60 lbs. I do have my 50 and 60 yard pins spaced apart a little more as you mentioned. I realize I could go with the lighter arrow..but am happy with this as it is. Also, I should mention I am shooting a moderate solo cam bow. What do you think?
Thanks for checking out my videos. I appreciate it. God bless you.

Wow! This is amazing, thank you very much for spending your precious time in details explanation.
Thank you
Thank you so much very big help iam old school still learning. Been shooting for 37 years or more .thank
Glad to help! God bless ya
One thing I will say, KE means nothing. Momentum is what we are after.. Don’t get caught up in the speed game.. Id never shoot an deer with anything less than 500g, knowing what I know now. a heavier arrow outperforms a lighter arrow EVERY time.. No such thing as too stiff of a spine! I love your comparison you make with the baseball and wiffle ball! Spot on!
Yeah, some people are like you and like 500 grains. I have crushed deer for years at 350 grains with the right tip, but I am hunting with 425 grains at the moment simply because that is what companies gave me to work with, lol. But, I have such a long draw that it really adds to the punch. For shorter draw lengths I usually recommend around 450 grains or so, but like you, some prefer 500 or more. God bless ya.
Sean, I shoot a 54lb elite with a 27.5 inch draw. What would be my perfect arrow weight for hunting? 6 grains per pound would be 324 grains. 400 grain arrow seems way too much?
324 grains will not give you very penetration. If you have 27.5 inch draw, I would use a cut on contact broad head and use over 400 grains. You will have more pin gap, but you will have a lot better penetration. At 324 grains, you could lose deer if you hit a bone and don't get good enough penetration.
waltcolemanblows Guys shoot 40-50lb recurves and longbows with 600+ grain arrows and blow through animals.. Don’t worry so much about speed. Shot placement is key.. The heavier the arrow the better! Like I said you can never have too much penetration, and there is no such thing as “overspend”.. With your setup I’d be a 500g
This is a great review I return to every year.
Thanks Kyle. I recognize your face on the thumbnail next to your name. I appreciate you stopping in every once in a while. God bless you.
The slope on that 1 1/2" drain pipe behind you is intense!
It's a waterfall!
I want to thank you for your videos, always great and always informative. Keep up the good work. Your videos are always appreciated
Thank you!
Great video, my arrow groups were very inconsistent and i couldn't work out why. Thank you
👍
I subbed cause you say god bless at the end of your videos.
THank you! And, God bless you!
Hi Sean great videos firstly :-) second thank you for your explanation of the stiffness of arrows ect it is the best iv seen so far so a big well done and keep up the great videos :-)
Thanks for saying that, Richard. I try hard and am not always sure if I am doing a good job or not, so thanks!
You are awesome and very easy to understand for a newbie. Thanks
👍👍👍
About the expandable broadheads...i follow 10gpi or higher and recovery dramatically increases.
Great
Great explanation of all the different arrow types. I appreciate you sharing your useful knowledge with us. You cleared several things up for me. Thank you Sean!
Glad it helped. God bless you
Nice video! Just bought my first compound hunting bow and learned a lot from watching this
Great! God bless you
I like your explaination i quit compounds 11 yrs ago and never looked back tks
👍
Very interesting discussion Sean. Thanks
Thanks
absolutely great presentation buddy . i always was heavy
Thank you
@@seansoutdoors no problem as again great job of all your videos I am just getting back into bows as crushed and 12 years gone out of my life .. It is what it is
Hi Sean. Recent subscriber here, very much enjoying (lots of catching up to do) viewing your videos, even these older ones, and learning a lot about the many factors that go into setting up, tuning, arrow selection, etc. of compound bows. I would be really appreciative if you might find a bit of time to address a couple questions for me. I have an older Prime. Not real old....2017. It's a Centergy with the #4 cams which make it a 28.5" DL. I'm pretty new to bows and bow hunting so have much to learn but i'm excited about getting out and experiencing this new challenge. Truthfully i don't know for sure if this bow is exactly right for me...i bought it used. Admittedly not the best way to get into a bow and bow hunting, but it sounded like it was about right as a decent starting point. I'm 6 feet tall and from the measuring i've done i believe my draw length is around 29 inches, so it shouldn't be too bad. Just built myself a draw board but haven't yet had the chance to put my bow on it and check the exact numbers.
I have some arrows (pre-fletched and with nocks in) that i bought just stock uncut lengths (a couple different brands and lengths), but haven't yet cut any of them down and put the inserts in. So that's one of my main questions..."finally" he says, lol... with a bow at 28.5" DL and knowing that one doesn't want the broad head too close to your grip hand, what would you recommend as a good length to cut to? I was thinking 29.5", from insert to nock throat where the string will sit. Thoughts? I guess that's really the only question i have at the moment. When i began this novel i was intending to ask about spine and total arrow weight, FOC, and all that good stuff, but realized there are so many good vids out there on the topics (including yours), that i'm going to just have to experiment a bit and figure that out myself. But if you have any helpful thoughts/tips on that you want to share, i'm all ears. Just for interests sake; 6 of my arrows are Carbon Express, Adrenaline, 350 spine at 9.9 gpi, currently at 31 inches long, front to nock throat. Thanking you muchly in advance Sean, all the best and God bless you and yours.
Gust draw back with one on and have someone mark the arrow just past the riser and cut them all to that length.
Thank you for the video. I was always wondering if 400 was a good choice for me and it was. Awsome explanation.
Great, glad it was helpful! Good luck to you and God bless you!
I've always used wood! Cheap Chinese wood arrows came in vogue when POC became hard to get, but my full, straight grained arrows, properly spined for my 70# recurve, which hammers the nock end at full draw, will handle any 70# compound that more slowly accelerates an arrow.
Definitely my broadhead in front of my hand!!
It is extremely dangerous to shoot a wooden arrow off of a compound. It should never be done because the wood can split and splinter and go right through your hand. If you do that, please stop now before you end up hurting yourself very badly.
