    You're spot on with this. I shake my head sometimes when I post a picture I am proud of for a piece of equipment I buy etc and all you see is people coming on your post trashing your equipment. I am 100% with you. You have to use what you can afford and what works best for you within the budget you have. And at the end of the day those of us in this outdoor world should be lifting each other up and high fiving each other not tearing down and discouraging others. I appreciate what you guys do and the message you speak. Keep on keepin on!

    I have GREAT Respect for Mr Michael Waddle. A Hard working good man. I am surprised at his level of upset in this video. I didn’t realize until the end how old this video is. I am old and recall the beginnings of compound bows. My first compound was a Browning explorer , wood riser and metal cables XX75 aluminum arrows. The razorback broadhead was AWESOME as was the Bear 2 blade and the Zwicky. Mr Waddle is right everything can work. We are fortunate today to have all the quality choices we do today. In our gear choice , like our political choices we sometime have little tolerance for those whom chose differently. Years ago we blissfully didn’t know this happening the way we do today.

    I just gotta say…. I love this . And what you say about not planning to hit shoulder cannot be emphasized enough. Too many veteran hunters out there teaching new hunters bad morals in hunting as far as what is your effective range . What
    shot is acceptable. Top
    of the heart . Perfect
    broadside. The further
    away from that
    scenario you get its
    gets exponentially
    harder to git the target. Also, know the animal behavior… when to draw , when to shoot. Dont let your equipment get lonely in the closet. Shoot year round. Compete somewhere …. Its fun and it’ll make you better.

  • @joelzelko1537
    @joelzelko1537 3 года назад +4

    Problem is most guys aren't from the good old days, when you couldn't buy a pre tuned bow. Waddy said it best when he said "student of archery" back in the day you had to shoot all year and experiment to find a good set up. I remember when aluminum Easton's were almost a half inch diameter and we used overdraws to lighten our arrows up. You have to experiment for what's best for you.

    • @597914
      @597914 3 года назад +2

      That's the thing...nobody needed to lighten up their arrows. We were sold that idea by the industry types. People keep trying to reinvent bowhunting. Who needs all this junk to hit an animals vitals at 20 yards? At 30 or 40 yards? People are missing out by stretching out their shots. Nothing is more exciting than a bear at 9 steps.

    “Everybody that I’ve looked up to has given me the opportunity to refine what I like the most”...well said Michael.
    I’ve applied parts of what the guy down on the ranch subscribes to...particularly cut-on-contact heads because it makes sense with my setup. But I’m not a full disciple of the million-grain arrow build.
    The reality is my 10 year old son took his first archery doe last year with a 28# bow, 25” 600 spine arrow, 100 grain old school Muzzy 3-blade, 15 yards quartered away shot out of a tree stand...she went 40 yards and dropped. Even found broken a rib during the “autopsy”. So, maybe we’re overthinking far too often?
    Same goes for fishing. I can’t recall how many times we’ve used a strategy that’s totally counter to what the experts and conditions usually call for...yet we have a great day anyway.
    Pick your weapon, dial it in and go hunt! Good luck to all this season!

    Man I have much respect for you buddy.I have watched you for years. But when it comes to hunting weight arrows I feel lightweight and mechanical broadheads have no place in the woods a friend of mine and myself who are better-than-average shots lost 7 deer in one season because of Rage broadheads that did not deployed or opened in flight. I am a staunch proponent for heavier arrows and I don't mean 700 grains and cut on contact or at least a very Stout fixed blade. Personally I shoot around 520 - 550 grain and use only cut on contact and single bevel broadheads prepare for the worst expect the best . We never planned to shoot those heavy so-called impenetrable bones but s*** happens you know as well as I do and that is why I don't believe we should be using lightweight mechanical all that garbage . Even though deer are a thin-skinned you're going to wish you had that plan B Arrow. Leave those lightweight arrows on the 3D course.

I agree that alot of what's out there will work as far as arrows and broadheads and I agree that it's a balance of what's important to you (accuracy and wind drift or penetration and bone breaks). However I do have some disagreements that I hope you'll look into. While yes the guys shooting hogs at 20 yards are using 800 grain arrows, it's for their situation. There are also guys hunting public land @thehunting public. That have found a balance in the 550-650 grain area that is a great balance of bone breaking (including that front leg bone because they literally sheared a mature bucks humorous in half last season) and distance. My current setup is 580 grains on a 65lb Ventum and I can get 90 yards on my sight tape. I can't help but wish as a consumer that instead of being fired up about the wave that is coming, maybe you should be thinking about contributing to it (ie. Designing a single bevel G5 or the world's first expanding broadhead over 125 grains) I agree shot placement is key but hunters are unfortunately human and bad shots happen. I'd rather have the confidence to bust hard stuff if I torque my bow 5 inches left on the biggest deer of my life or even a fat doe because I still get excited of those too. Love ya Waddy.

    Awesome truth from Waddell. Watched this a year ago, and it was good to revisit it. I couldn't begin to count the different arrow combinations I've tried and taken game with in the 45 years I've been bowhunting. The one absolute truth I've learned in that time is that the bowhunter is the biggest variable in the success of the hunt, more so than their equipment.

    I agree. My dad first took me deer hunting when I was 10 years old. I am 70 years old now and have slowed down a bit but I still try to get out there during deer season. I have always been a rifle and shotgun hunter, although I have bow hunted when I was younger. I enjoyed it. I have shot just about everything in North America that is legal to hunt and good to eat. I agree that you should do what you enjoy and what is legal , be it bow, rifle, shotgun, whatever works for you. I still use my Remington chambered in.308 that I bought used in the '70s and I still use the K-Bar knife that I carried in Vietnam as my hunting knife. I suppose the haters will tell me that they are old and out of date, like me. B.S. Too many armchair experts out there trying to tell people that their way is the best way and the equipment that they use is the best. It makes me laugh. Great video. Keep up the good work and I wish you luck on your future hunts. Sorry for the long winded post.

    Exactly.... I prefer recurve but had to change it up since I can't practice like I should because of work. I had to go back to compound. Then after heart surgery I found my recurve poundage is too much so I have to deal with that within the next year. But it's about getting out in the woods and enjoying the hunt. Gun bow whatever.
    Much respect Mike

    Loving it. You and I have a bunch of the same old broad heads in our tackle boxes lol. I had to pull my tackle box out and start showing them all to my wife and telling her the about the animals I've taken with them. She just got into archery hunting with me about 5 years ago and she's taken more animals than I have in that time frame. I've harvested my fair share of animals in my 35 years of bow hunting so she always gets first pick. She only shoots 37 pounds and uses a g5 montec and last year she smoked her first buck right through the shoulder and dang near cut his heart in half. He didn't run 30 yards. Loved the intensity in which you delivered your message, definitely showed how passionate you are in what you do. Haters are gonna hate and rational people are gonna understand. Keep the RUclips thing going, your a natural. To all you assholes I hope you have a good season to. Instant classic I loved it. Happy hunting this season to you and your family.

    You are leading them to failure schilling Mechanicals-You didn't mention once about hitting high and if you hit a buck high up by the spine a Mechanical will not blow through the deer and will immediately stop when hitting Bone but a Fixed will blow through pretty much any bone besides the Giant Shoulder Bone and if you are hitting the Shoulder then you are aiming incorrectly or need to practice alot-Also it's this simple Mechanicals will Open if they nick even a tiny branch or any kind of debris when a Fixed will blow through it with zero problems-It took me losing two Pope N Youngs a 140 inch and a 150 inch because of Mechanicals to change to fixed-I had a 10 pt 150 inch at 10 yards I called in off a doe that I saw when I got done from the tree so I was on the ground and there a was Tiny and I mean Tiny Rose bush Branch in between us I didn't see and it made the Mechanical deploy before it hit the buck so I watched him run off with an arrow hanging off him touching the ground as he walked away and the Mechanical went in 1 inch at most and if I used a Fixed Blade there he would of died-Then last year I shot a 140 Inch 8 yr old (oldest buck I have ever seen) and my bow shot high from dropping it from the tree on accident and the Rage again failed me hitting below the spine hitting a bone, zero blood trail and the buck survived then 1 week later I used a fixed blade called a buck into me with grunt and bleat and hit the exact same spot I hit the last buck at BUT this time the fixed Blew through him paralyzing the buck and dropping him instantly-I use to love Rage because in 12 Years I never had a buck ran further than 70 yards and die but any time there was anything wrong a Mechanical failed-Once you lose enough Shooters you eventually change.

    I think maybe there might have been a misunderstanding. Maybe I'm wrong, I haven't watched every hunting video on RUclips, but I don't recall anyone saying there's only one way. I absolutely agree that there are many ways to complete the task. I absolutely believe there is typically a most efficient way to complete the task as well.
    You mentioned higher foc has greater potential for penetration. You also mention you shoot higher foc because it has greater potential for precious. Why not use your platform to encourage bow hunters to be as lethal as they possibly can? The optics of higher recovery/ kill rate is good for the longevity of the sport and your livelihood. The more lethal we are the better it is for all of us.

That low quality broadhead screwed into a flimsy shaft worked but it's not what's likely to work over the broadest range of circumstances. A whitetail rib shouldn't cause an arrow to deflect and it certainly shouldn't stop the arrow yet we see it all the time.
