4mm spine thats super slim . iv bèen looking for a 4mm 400 spine arrow with less grain per inch than the fmj 4mm spines , AND can get them to the UK . i shoot small cal rifles in the uk and kind of want to carry that over to my bow shooting .
Good shooting, I like your sight I've had a few Montana Black gold sights and like them but I plan to go with a tetra on my new Bow time to switch my set up a little.. lol
Allie, love the hair, and the arrows! lots of beauty and strength in this vid! 💪 Three arrow devices that are in my eyes mandatory, an arrow squaring tool, balance tool (roller), and a scale.
Those are really good hunting shafts for the money. They are victory vforce shafts rebranded for sportsman’s guise. I shoot the vforce shaft because the trophy hunter shafts don’t come in .300 spine. I consistently get under two inch groups at 50 yards with these, and have killed deer with them for the last 10 or so years.
Great job!! It's awesome to see how far you've come! Make sure after you're more comfortable to practice positions you'll be in while hunting. Shoot out of a stand, kneeling, sitting, one leg up etc. My friends and I used to play a game like "pig or horse" in basketball. First person would pick a spot and position and angle to shoot from (no rangefinders are allowed during the game), If he makes a good shot, then the next person has to make it. If they miss they get a letter and so forth. Just a fun way to practice a lot of skills you'll need for hunting. Keep up the great videos!!
Love the videos, keep at it! It’s amazing to see the improvements and passion. I purchased my second bow, PSE XPEDITE, while here on Germany and I’m realizing how much I still need to learn. Of course, learning is a lifelong journey.
I hit golf balls from 40 with a Ross Cardiac every shot. I still dont shoot animals from more than 30. Its just not necessary. With Urban Archery and the regular seasons I can pass up all I want and still have a freezer full.
I just finished my new whitetail arrow build this year - I shoot a PSE unleashed at 58# with a 26.5" draw length so my arrows would work for your setup fine. They are Beeman speed 400 spine arrows cut at 28.5" with 2" blazer vanes with a 100g. brass insert. You can shoot any 100g broadhead you want but the final arrow weight is around 450 grains with a nocturnal lighted nock and my FOC is still at 18.4% which is awesome. They fly like darts and penetrate great. If you lose the nocturnal the weight drops slightly but the FOC jumps to over 19%. The GT velocity 400 works well with the same build. I made some of those up with 50g brass inserts but shoot them with my 150g single bevel grizzly heads. FOC is almost 20% with a finished weight of 438g. Yes I know these aren't ranch fairy "adult" arrows but mine are adolescent arrows for sure!
My arrow cut to 29,never weight them there vap.arrows.bow pound 75.the arrow slight twirl on fletching area.100 grain field tip.should I use a 125 field tip.?
Outdoors Allie great now get a 100 grain brass insert and increase the lethality of your arrows. Unfortunately that’s prob gonna overwhelm the 400 spine and make them shoot like a noodle. Go back up to a 300-330. What your using now is a sleet load when ya need a magnum. If you’re worried that I sound like a crack pot, look up Dr Ashby study on arrow lethality.
Yes, you're super cute and have pretty hair. But holy shit, could you put your hair back in a pony tail or something? Its super annoying watching you mess with your hair every few seconds.
Hi Allie, great video. Some hunters go out and target practice on our magnificent wiled life,I’m glad to know you are not one of them, you earned my respect. I think your lovely hair could wrap around the string during the shot. We don’t want you to get hurt,with all do respect I recommend a pony tail or some kind of hair covering,believe me I have seen it happen. By the way nice camera work. Good luck.
Great video, nice to see you put all the time and energy into learning everything about your bow and now arrows. Mathews makes a great bow to bad they won't put a solid wall on it or I'd switch over.
What did the glue weigh , • 3 of a grain ? Haha kidding consistency is key ansolutely .. its good your making arrown and showing us numpties how to do it,, your too honest a few peeps i know would just say yep three right where i put them , too much glue in that bottom arrow 😁 breathing excercises help thanks for sharing
I would suggest that you practice wearing the gear that you wear to hunt. Having your hair tied up, or under a cap may also help, because it looks like it is distracting you. At 20 yards, you should be nailing the heart area every time.
Outdoors AIlie would Shoot with you and day of the week! Take a look at my videos! Shooting a Nickel at 25 yards as well a Cherry at 30 Yards with my Mathews VXR 28
Love the video im truing to get my daughters interested in shooting bow but there pretty girly 💓 so your videos might help your girly as you flip your beautiful hair now ivwant to thank you for such a great video your doing great can't wait to watch more videos.
I use these exact same arrows. Guide Gear Trophy Hunter Pro's in 350 spine. They're actually made by Victory archery. I have mine cut at 29 1/2 inches with 200 grain brass inserts topped with a 125 grain Muzzy Phantom. Yes, I like a lot of FOC for good reason. They are awesome arrows at a great value. I'm using these for my upcoming blacktail season. Love the passion you have for the outdoors Allie. Keep it up.
I'm shooting a Mathews too. I have both types of targets (in fact, I have that exact same 3D target) and for some reason, I'm far more consistently accurate with the deer target. In fact, I'm dead on with the deer. I also learned to stop shooting after a few rounds. Fatigue sets in and has me 2nd guessing myself. It's a lesson that all the greats press; It's better to shoot a little everyday that you can rather than to try to shoot a lot on one day. BTW, I'd take that group all day. Good job. ☺
Whoa. Lots of comments! Lol Def ensure bow is tuned (timing, rest, etc.) then shoot bare shaft to see arrow flight and impact. Seems like you have the stuff in your shop to get it done. Watch the Ranch Fairy videos. I’m sure some people have mentioned this in the many comments above. Hope this helps! Happy hunting! 🙂👍🇺🇸🏹🦌
I miss my bow. I need another one, kinda want to build it like you. Great form, awesome groups, excellent arrow knowledge, shooting practice/mentality or philosophy. Im sure the bow is like an extension of your arm now, You make me want to get of my ass, get another bow and do it in 2023. Well done.
Those are good arrows for the money. Last month I bought a half dozen of them 350 spine and cut about 1/2" on them myself (dremel setup). Came with inserts. I did add a dab of glue on the fletching leading and trailing edges for durability. They shoot straight and hit hard for me using a 150 grain field point. They weighed out with the field points in at about 452 grains each complete. I'm a 20 yard and under shots (if possible) whitetail and hog hunter.
I use the same arrow in 350 spine, 29.5 in, with 100 grain Thorn Archery original mechanical broadheads. I am getting 308 fps from my Elite Ritual 33 @ 65 lbs, and 30 in drawlength. Great value arrows
This is my first season. Your videos helped me break the fear of working on my own stuff. I built a home shop an do everything myself now. my arrows are victory RIP TKO v6 sport, 75g half out insert, 175g German 2 blade broadheads, nocturnal nock, q2i DV-X 3" vane in 3 fletch. Sinks into my 3d to the fletching.
Great video, Allie is so pretty. Her bottom cam is faster, did she check cam lean? i Saw that draw board and bow press. See how the arrows fishtail? Nock tuning is easy and will fix much of that funny arrow flight. Also if you feel the bow torque left or right, your fingers may be tight, let the front fingers relax. Nice work, you'll be slay'n em this season.
You should number your arrows so you can easily identify any “flyers”. I use Muzzy 3 blades so I line up my fletching with my broadheads. Quartering toward you aim at leading shoulder. Quartering away aim at the off side shoulder. That’ll put you in the boiler room every time.
The most important thing about arrows are that they as identical to each other as possible. Second is how they fly out of your bow and onto the target. A technical shooter requires that everything is the same for every shot. That way your arrow flight is zeroed to your sight. Since I'm an instinctive shooter I have a little more tolerance to mismatched arrows. They're really the only variable when I shoot. I don't normally shoot heavy and light arrows. The tips are the determining factor when I shoot. Practice, Judo tips, blunts and hunting tips all make the identical arrows fly differently. Large bladed hunting arrows can plane, i.e. curve, during flight and need to tuned, rotate the tip to get a straight shot. Practice, practice, practice.
i find putting a tiny dot on (as) my aim point really tightens my groups a 1" white dot on the 3d deer will help loads i use a 1" black dot on a white target 130m away with a ffp sight on my 177 rifle and end up shooting golf balls or eggs ( always a buzz watching them explode ), yeah shrinking your aim point will shrink your group with practice ,
No offense but you’re using a expensive bow and cheap arrows. The few more bucks each would really help with your groups. I love Guide Gear stands and sticks. I wouldn’t cheap on arrows tho. Good luck
I see and hear your points with larger diameter arrows rather SD arrows, but I've found the wind deviation, penetration and accuracy between the diameters is nominal at best out to 100yrds. What have you found with your T&E, rather what the common thoughts are between the diameter variations.
I'm no expert by a long shot so take this for what it's worth. You have the same habit that I had while practicing. You sky draw your bow. I'm not saying not to but the more you move the more the animal can catch your movement. I was told to raise my bow to aim and them pull it straight back. It's way harder to draw this way so if you choose to do it you may have to wait on upping the poundage of your bow. Also stop practicing when you start to feel fatigued that causes all sorts of bad habits. I wish you luck on your future hunting endeavors.
You'll be set for the hunger games. The real ones I mean. Where you get to eat deer when you're hungry. 🙂 Should you be using the tips you're going to use in the field when you sight in, or are you just checking for accuracy now and plan on redoing it when you're ready later?
If I were you I would grab some 150 grain and 200 grain field tips when pushing that much weight you loose some speed but it will punch straight through the deer.
Instead of an arrow squaring device, get a pipe cutter. Ive used one of those a lot. The make an automatic 90 degree angle, and they're cheaper, just as effective.
Watching you shoot, it looks like your left hand is gripping the bow a bit tight. Try to relax that hand once you are at full draw. It will reduce the chance of torquing the bow and give you a tighter shot group.
What kind of broadheads do you use or plan on using? Have you ever tried going up some grains and using a 125 grain? Say a cut on contact, fixed blade?
I cut my arrows 1 inch shorter than my draw length. Been doing it that way for 30 years. Just dont need an arrow sticking out that far from the riser especially with today's rests that sit far back.
HI ALLIE ! I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER / EASIER WITH A REAL TARGET / DEER TURKEY ETC FOR WHEN YOU'RE OUT HUNTING THAN A BOX SHAPED TARGET . GLAD YOU'RE GETTING USE TO YOUR BOW . LITTLE ONE IS GETTING BIGGER TOO . HOW'S THE WEATHER THERE ? BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH & THE PUP TOO ALWAYS ! ENJOYED !
I don't know if she is necessarily, but she's in very good shape and I wouldn't think she'd be upset by saying that size, I don't know she might be a 6 for all I know, I was just trying to be nice and you turned it into a typical hypersensitive keyboard warrior response. Pretty sad you can't try your best to compliment people on the internet these days without being attacked. Go away troll! Oh and by the way I won't be responding to you're inflammatory response.
Rowdy Broomstick replying anyways becuase I know you’ll read it 😘 if you didn’t know what size she was then why guess? That was my only point. She is so beautiful and the rest of your comment was respectful, it just wasn’t necessary to pick any random size much less the smallest one 😘 that’s all !
Speed is never what a hunting arrow should be aiming for when using modern compounds. There is plenty of actual studies on the matter. example 80# compound a 350 grain arrow can be moving at 330fps as it leaves the bow, by 40 yards its moving at 294fps a 625 grain arrow can be moving at 274fps as it leaves the bow, by 40 yards its moving at 261fps The time to impact at 40 yards is 0.38s for the 350 and 0.43s for the 625 arrow thats 0.05 second of difference White tails reaction time is ~0.05seconds and it hears the shot in 0.1s at 40yards and is already moving by 0.15s Neither arrow was crossed even half the distance... String jumping cannot be beat by arrow speed at any range. Heavier arrows Less wind drift Better penetration Quieter shots Less energy/speed loss over distance Less deflection by shrub impacts. Less deflection from bone during passthrough. The only real difference that matters as an advantage for faster arrows is arrow drop, faster arrows are more forgiving for people that can't judge distances properly.
@@OutdoorsAllie I will just correct myself slightly. When I said string jump cant be beaten by arrow speed at any range I mean compared to each other. 20 yards or less and the Whitetail can't move fast enouth either way.
Paul Huval ,her hair is different, used to be much longer n not Brown.. It had blonde hi- lights in it.... Check some older vids, you will see the diff!!
I like your enthusiasm. I think that you should check out the “Ranch Fairy” on you tube. It might change the way you think about arrow performance. It surely did for me. His methods are super easy to follow and the results speak for themselves.
Check out Ranch Fairy channel on high FOC arrow builds. The science is amazing. When correct arrow set up is matched to the bow, you can shoot a field point with no fletching and the arrow will fly straight like a dart to the target. 3d targets don't always match what where the heart and lungs actually are. He goes over that too.
@@OutdoorsAllie Troy (Ranch Fairy) mainly hunts hogs in Texas. Each year he shoots dozens of them. Previously, they were only recovering about half the hogs, shooting high speed, light arrows, mechanical broadheads. He stumbled on to Dr. Ed Ashby's arrow lethality research in Africa and decided to give his research a try. He shot a medium spined arrow with a heavy single bevel broadhead with a 54 pound long bow. The arrow hit the hog in the shoulder, went thru the shield, passed thru the body diagonally, and exited the hip on the far side! Hog weighed 210 pounds. My arrow over-penetrated said no bowhunter ever.
If you don't already have a broadhead partner, you should check out Titanium X, I have been super impressed with them on whitetail and hogs. Durable, sharp and affordable.
Somebody probably already said it but if you get those fliers like that set it aside and come back to it later. Shoot it by it’s self and if it continues to fly off center it maybe a simple fix or scrap it. Good vid. Hope that helps
Have you ever shot with a kisser button on your string. It gives you a more consistent anchor and with your shooting style may just be the trick to get rid of those annoying flyers.
Outdoors Allie they are kind of awkward when your use to shooting without one. The biggest thing is to get them set just right. I don’t have one on my target bow but I refuse to hunt with out one.
Um not really . They can still be shot accurately without paper tuning . Yes a nice tune is an easy way to set your sights but the thing about sights is they let bows that are untuned shoot well enough that people overlook tuning all the time . Tuning and sights have very little to do with one another . Tuning is more about range and energy at the point of impact than it does with setting your sights . It's not like a untuned bow is kicking arrows in different directions as long as the rest fastened down well and is hold the arrow in the same place every time the arrow will go to the same spot it is aimed
16 seconds into the video... Did you do something with your hair? Looks darker..?? Looks good. Ok... Back to the video. Excellent video! I don't shoot many arrows at once at the target cuz those arrows are really expensive if you split them.... Or lose them. I really don't like losing arrows. I used to shoot at a 3d. Really should get another. I can't believe it's almost July! Archery season is going to be here quickly!
2 invaluable purchases; #1 would be the Lumenok arrow squaring tool which u can mount perpendicular to your fletching tool on a nice piece of wood that is 6" wide & stained. I do both ends of the arrow b4 installing nock & fletching. #2 Bomar nose button. Yeah, people say that u can tie serving on your string & it's the same. Nope, not when it gets cold & u r wearing a mask or your face is cold which makes your anchor point funky. I shot a kisser for years. Nose button has lots of value & is well made plus u get 2 sizes to tinker with, & u know u like to tinker,🤔
This is a very good video. Do you plan to do another video more specific about setting up arrows? Getting the weights to be nearly identical is important for consistent arrow flight but there are some other factors that are also, if not more, important. First, the arrow needs to be perfectly straight from one end to the other. Carbon shafts are almost always perfectly straight (more expensive shafts have more consistent density (grains/inch) and spine) but the nocks on store-bought arrows are often not well aligned to the shaft so you might want to check that. You mentioned a squaring device to make sure that the insert is perfectly square to the shaft, which is even more important when shooting broadheads. Another factor for consistent arrow flight besides the correct spine is the spin. Arrows that have been fletched by the manufacturer are often straight fletched, which does not provide spin. Even if the fletching is helical, three 2.5" vanes do not provide much surface area to generate adequate spin. This is one of the reasons that four vane fletching is becoming increasingly popular. You mentioned FOC but not what you are targeting. Arrows with 14-16% (even up to 20%) usually fly more consistently, which is why you might find that 125gr points "fly better" than 100gr points. Rather than experimenting with different point weights and fletching configurations you can use FOC to inform and narrow those choices. Unfortunately many people focus on reducing the weight of the point to get more speed without understanding the impact to balance and flight.
By no means am I an archery expert. I work daily to perfect my form and accuracy. Consistency is key. My son and I video each other so that we can see bad habits. When the camera is looking at you straight on, you tend to lean back toward you shooting hand after you come to full draw. Work to keep your upper body inline with your hips. It will help your accuracy. It doesn't appear that you do it every time, or some are more pronounced than others. Archery is fun, but it's much like golf, even small things make a difference. Keep having fun. Enjoyed the video.
You continue to constantly impress me! I’m in the process of building my easton axis 300 arrows for 2021 elk season. Your videos are always a good watch. Btw, a plus 1” length is always what I go with. Good call. And good luck on your hunts!
I can’t wait for archery season!! Great video as always. Hope yinz have a good holiday weekend!
Cant wait!
Outdoors Allie Will you be doing a video on the broadheads you will be using or like the best for the fall archery season? Just curious, thanks!
Your grip with your left hand...shit loosen up. You dont want any phalanges other than your proximal in the thumb even coming close.
Cool did you line your Broadhead with your veins
I do, especially with fixed blade.
thats a good idea of matching arrows weights with the inserts to get a more consistent batch
4mm spine thats super slim . iv bèen looking for a 4mm 400 spine arrow with less grain per inch than the fmj 4mm spines , AND can get them to the UK . i shoot small cal rifles in the uk and kind of want to carry that over to my bow shooting .
Good shooting, I like your sight I've had a few Montana Black gold sights and like them but I plan to go with a tetra on my new Bow time to switch my set up a little.. lol
Allie, love the hair, and the arrows! lots of beauty and strength in this vid! 💪
Three arrow devices that are in my eyes mandatory, an arrow squaring tool, balance tool (roller), and a scale.
Agreed!
Great job Allie 👍
Thanks Jeff!
Those are really good hunting shafts for the money. They are victory vforce shafts rebranded for sportsman’s guise. I shoot the vforce shaft because the trophy hunter shafts don’t come in .300 spine. I consistently get under two inch groups at 50 yards with these, and have killed deer with them for the last 10 or so years.

.......🤔 im gonna need some friends.
Hey Allie, you pull that bandana off way better than Amy Winehouse!!! 0:31
Use your bandana keep the hair outa your face..
Love the videos, keep at it! It’s amazing to see the improvements and passion. I purchased my second bow, PSE XPEDITE, while here on Germany and I’m realizing how much I still need to learn. Of course, learning is a lifelong journey.
Awesome. I'm in the same boat!
To hell with arrow speed. Put some weight on those arrows. It'll quiet the twang in the bow and give you some much better penetration.
That seems to be the theme.
I'll try it out!
I hit golf balls from 40 with a Ross Cardiac every shot. I still dont shoot animals from more than 30. Its just not necessary. With Urban Archery and the regular seasons I can pass up all I want and still have a freezer full.
Try using feather fletchings,
Two words for you..... Ranch Fairy.....need some adult arrows. Lol
Right 450Gr+ 20%+ FOC. You wanna hit the animal or go through it.
Its archery till you hit the animal. Then its hunting. :)
I just finished my new whitetail arrow build this year - I shoot a PSE unleashed at 58# with a 26.5" draw length so my arrows would work for your setup fine.

I love looking at nice equipment .
i smirked
I would say get a bowmar nose button over a kisser. No fps loss and alot more precise, especially when your contorted in a weird angle in a treestand
please check out ranch fairy your arrows need more weight
I'll check it out.
My arrow cut to 29,never weight them there vap.arrows.bow pound 75.the arrow slight twirl on fletching area.100 grain field tip.should I use a 125 field tip.?
Would love to see you do a video with the Ranch Fairy.
Maybe one day!
Congrats on the grouping, it is exciting when you start a build and get to see it come together.
Sure is!
Outdoors Allie great now get a 100 grain brass insert and increase the lethality of your arrows. Unfortunately that’s prob gonna overwhelm the 400 spine and make them shoot like a noodle.

Yes, you're super cute and have pretty hair. But holy shit, could you put your hair back in a pony tail or something? Its super annoying watching you mess with your hair every few seconds.
Tyson Burns , indeed.. Also not safe as it could get ripped out by the string or arrow nocks! Tie it back... Please ? Before you get hurt!!??
Sounds like a you problem; Try focusing on content instead.

That's all you need good shooting arrows and good shot placement and you can harvest any thing in North America

Thanks for the feedback!!
From what i can see i think if you bought a backtenstion/hinge style release, you could get most of your groups alot smaller
I've been wanting to try one.
I'm shooting a Mathews too. I have both types of targets (in fact, I have that exact same 3D target) and for some reason, I'm far more consistently accurate with the deer target.

Do not cut your hair,use a Barrett , or ahead band … just saying ….. me …

Since I'm an instinctive shooter I have a little more tolerance to mismatched arrows. They're really the only variable when I shoot. I don't normally shoot heavy and light arrows. The tips are the determining factor when I shoot. Practice, Judo tips, blunts and hunting tips all make the identical arrows fly differently. Large bladed hunting arrows can plane, i.e. curve, during flight and need to tuned, rotate the tip to get a straight shot. Practice, practice, practice.
Thanks for the feedback Mike!
i find putting a tiny dot on (as) my aim point really tightens my groups a 1" white dot on the 3d deer will help loads i use a 1" black dot on a white target 130m away with a ffp sight on my 177 rifle and end up shooting golf balls or eggs ( always a buzz watching them explode ), yeah shrinking your aim point will shrink your group with practice ,
Thanks for the feedback Tom!
No offense but you’re using a expensive bow and cheap arrows. The few more bucks each would really help with your groups. I love Guide Gear stands and sticks. I wouldn’t cheap on arrows tho. Good luck
No offense taken. I appreciate the feedback!
I see and hear your points with larger diameter arrows rather SD arrows, but I've found the wind deviation, penetration and accuracy between the diameters is nominal at best out to 100yrds.
What have you found with your T&E, rather what the common thoughts are between the diameter variations.
Thanks for the feedback Chris!
I'm no expert by a long shot so take this for what it's worth. You have the same habit that I had while practicing. You sky draw your bow. I'm not saying not to but the more you move the more the animal can catch your movement. I was told to raise my bow to aim and them pull it straight back. It's way harder to draw this way so if you choose to do it you may have to wait on upping the poundage of your bow. Also stop practicing when you start to feel fatigued that causes all sorts of bad habits. I wish you luck on your future hunting endeavors.
Thanks for the feedback!

You'll be set for the hunger games. The real ones I mean. Where you get to eat deer when you're hungry. 🙂
Should you be using the tips you're going to use in the field when you sight in, or are you just checking for accuracy now and plan on redoing it when you're ready later?
LOL. I'll broadhead tune later!
If I were you I would grab some 150 grain and 200 grain field tips when pushing that much weight you loose some speed but it will punch straight through the deer.
I have been pondering the idea.
Instead of an arrow squaring device, get a pipe cutter. Ive used one of those a lot. The make an automatic 90 degree angle, and they're cheaper, just as effective.
Thanks for the tip Brandon!
Watching you shoot, it looks like your left hand is gripping the bow a bit tight. Try to relax that hand once you are at full draw. It will reduce the chance of torquing the bow and give you a tighter shot group.
Thanks for the feedback!
What kind of broadheads do you use or plan on using? Have you ever tried going up some grains and using a 125 grain? Say a cut on contact, fixed blade?
I added 50 grain inserts and using a fixed 100 grain head to start.
I cut my arrows 1 inch shorter than my draw length. Been doing it that way for 30 years. Just dont need an arrow sticking out that far from the riser especially with today's rests that sit far back.
Thanks for the feedback!
I love your sloppy handwriting
Loved the video did u do something with ur hair I really liked it:)
Nothing particular. Thanks for watching!
125 grain heads should be no big deal since you’re planning close shots anyway
That what I was thinking too.
HI ALLIE !
I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER / EASIER WITH A REAL TARGET / DEER TURKEY ETC FOR WHEN YOU'RE OUT HUNTING THAN A BOX SHAPED TARGET . GLAD YOU'RE GETTING USE TO YOUR BOW . LITTLE ONE IS GETTING BIGGER TOO . HOW'S THE WEATHER THERE ? BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH & THE PUP TOO ALWAYS ! ENJOYED !
Yes that makes perfect sense.
Hello Allie! New sub here hit the bell and now im ready to get to know ya 😃.
Thanks you Robert. Much appreciated!
trop belle! simple et naturelle.
Thank you!
60 feet is a pretty good distance. Nice shooting Allie.
Thanks mike!
Wears a size double zero, crazy beautiful smile, hair shiny and beautiful and she hunts, so basically perfect!
Gross that you think 00 is perfect
I don't know if she is necessarily, but she's in very good shape and I wouldn't think she'd be upset by saying that size, I don't know she might be a 6 for all I know, I was just trying to be nice and you turned it into a typical hypersensitive keyboard warrior response.
Pretty sad you can't try your best to compliment people on the internet these days without being attacked.
Go away troll! Oh and by the way I won't be responding to you're inflammatory response.
Rowdy Broomstick replying anyways becuase I know you’ll read it 😘 if you didn’t know what size she was then why guess? That was my only point. She is so beautiful and the rest of your comment was respectful, it just wasn’t necessary to pick any random size much less the smallest one 😘 that’s all !
you look different without a hat.
Love the arrows thinking about getting some....but u should up your poundage some....what do u shoot now?
45 ish. I plan on bumping it up!
What Broadheads will you be using
NAP
Speed is never what a hunting arrow should be aiming for when using modern compounds.
There is plenty of actual studies on the matter.
example 80# compound
a 350 grain arrow can be moving at 330fps as it leaves the bow, by 40 yards its moving at 294fps
a 625 grain arrow can be moving at 274fps as it leaves the bow, by 40 yards its moving at 261fps
The time to impact at 40 yards is 0.38s for the 350 and 0.43s for the 625 arrow thats 0.05 second of difference
White tails reaction time is ~0.05seconds and it hears the shot in 0.1s at 40yards and is already moving by 0.15s
Neither arrow was crossed even half the distance...
String jumping cannot be beat by arrow speed at any range.
Heavier arrows
Less wind drift
Better penetration
Quieter shots
Less energy/speed loss over distance
Less deflection by shrub impacts.
Less deflection from bone during passthrough.
The only real difference that matters as an advantage for faster arrows is arrow drop, faster arrows are more forgiving for people that can't judge distances properly.
Thanks for the feedback!
@@OutdoorsAllie I will just correct myself slightly.
When I said string jump cant be beaten by arrow speed at any range I mean compared to each other. 20 yards or less and the Whitetail can't move fast enouth either way.
Sorry to see she shoots compound, which are not even bows. They're launching devices.
Thanks for sharing your singular, but ultimately inflammatory opinion. I'm wondering what motivates you to express this in a pro-compound forum?
Your growth as an archer has been a true joy to witness over the last few seasons!
Thank you!!
Beautiful lady shooting archery
Great video Allie and you look a little different for some reason but in a good way 👍😉
Not sure why... Thanks for watching!
@@OutdoorsAllie maybe you are getting older and more wiser 👍😉
Paul Huval ,her hair is different, used to be much longer n not Brown.. It had blonde hi- lights in it.... Check some older vids, you will see the diff!!
I'm happy if I can cover my pattern with my hand at 20-30 yards.
Hi Allie! Nice shooting but maby you should work on that sky-draw before an accident happens.
I like your enthusiasm. I think that you should check out the “Ranch Fairy” on you tube. It might change the way you think about arrow performance. It surely did for me. His methods are super easy to follow and the results speak for themselves.
Thanks Greg, I'll check it out!
@@OutdoorsAllie let me know what you think after you check it out.
I don’t have a saw so I use a husky tube cutter. Cleaner cut and no dust or big set up
Nice!
Nice to see that you're so into bows and shooting. You should try some arrow lube to help with removal from your 3D target.
I'll check it out. Thanks John!
@@OutdoorsAllie Did a homemade dispenser out of PVC if you're interested in the 'recipe'.
Check out Ranch Fairy channel on high FOC arrow builds. The science is amazing. When correct arrow set up is matched to the bow, you can shoot a field point with no fletching and the arrow will fly straight like a dart to the target. 3d targets don't always match what where the heart and lungs actually are. He goes over that too.
I'll check it out!!
Start with video called The Process. Based on PH Dr. Ed Ashby’s research on arrow lethality on African game animals.
@@OutdoorsAllie Troy (Ranch Fairy) mainly hunts hogs in Texas. Each year he shoots dozens of them. Previously, they were only recovering about half the hogs, shooting high speed, light arrows, mechanical broadheads. He stumbled on to Dr. Ed Ashby's arrow lethality research in Africa and decided to give his research a try. He shot a medium spined arrow with a heavy single bevel broadhead with a 54 pound long bow. The arrow hit the hog in the shoulder, went thru the shield, passed thru the body diagonally, and exited the hip on the far side! Hog weighed 210 pounds. My arrow over-penetrated said no bowhunter ever.
If you don't already have a broadhead partner, you should check out Titanium X, I have been super impressed with them on whitetail and hogs. Durable, sharp and affordable.
I'll check it out!
You should check ranch fairy Channel for arrow building.
I'll check it out!
Somebody probably already said it but if you get those fliers like that set it aside and come back to it later. Shoot it by it’s self and if it continues to fly off center it maybe a simple fix or scrap it. Good vid. Hope that helps
Good tip!
Have you ever shot with a kisser button on your string. It gives you a more consistent anchor and with your shooting style may just be the trick to get rid of those annoying flyers.
Ya, I dont love them for some unknown reason.
Outdoors Allie they are kind of awkward when your use to shooting without one. The biggest thing is to get them set just right. I don’t have one on my target bow but I refuse to hunt with out one.
Time to increase draw weight on that bow Allie! You're pulling it way too easy.
Increased it today!!
Good job,and well versed .also cool tatoo.
Thanks Dan!
Linda arqueira. Linda paisagem. Lindo arco. Lindo cabelo. Lindo vídeo. Parabéns. Estou vendo aqui do BRASIL.
Moving the sights is worthless unless your bow is tuned properly.
Um not really . They can still be shot accurately without paper tuning . Yes a nice tune is an easy way to set your sights but the thing about sights is they let bows that are untuned shoot well enough that people overlook tuning all the time . Tuning and sights have very little to do with one another . Tuning is more about range and energy at the point of impact than it does with setting your sights . It's not like a untuned bow is kicking arrows in different directions as long as the rest fastened down well and is hold the arrow in the same place every time the arrow will go to the same spot it is aimed
Gostei do arco , qual o modelo?
Glad to see our accu-arrow digital archery scale helping you to build your arrows and dial in your arrow weight!
Love your products! Thanks for watching!
This woman is a dime
16 seconds into the video... Did you do something with your hair? Looks darker..?? Looks good. Ok... Back to the video. Excellent video! I don't shoot many arrows at once at the target cuz those arrows are really expensive if you split them.... Or lose them. I really don't like losing arrows. I used to shoot at a 3d. Really should get another. I can't believe it's almost July! Archery season is going to be here quickly!
Nope. Same old hair. Thanks for watching Eric!
2 invaluable purchases; #1 would be the Lumenok arrow squaring tool which u can mount perpendicular to your fletching tool on a nice piece of wood that is 6" wide & stained. I do both ends of the arrow b4 installing nock & fletching. #2 Bomar nose button. Yeah, people say that u can tie serving on your string & it's the same. Nope, not when it gets cold & u r wearing a mask or your face is cold which makes your anchor point funky. I shot a kisser for years. Nose button has lots of value & is well made plus u get 2 sizes to tinker with, & u know u like to tinker,🤔
I'm going to look into the nose button.
This is a very good video. Do you plan to do another video more specific about setting up arrows? Getting the weights to be nearly identical is important for consistent arrow flight but there are some other factors that are also, if not more, important.
First, the arrow needs to be perfectly straight from one end to the other. Carbon shafts are almost always perfectly straight (more expensive shafts have more consistent density (grains/inch) and spine) but the nocks on store-bought arrows are often not well aligned to the shaft so you might want to check that. You mentioned a squaring device to make sure that the insert is perfectly square to the shaft, which is even more important when shooting broadheads.
Another factor for consistent arrow flight besides the correct spine is the spin. Arrows that have been fletched by the manufacturer are often straight fletched, which does not provide spin. Even if the fletching is helical, three 2.5" vanes do not provide much surface area to generate adequate spin. This is one of the reasons that four vane fletching is becoming increasingly popular.
You mentioned FOC but not what you are targeting. Arrows with 14-16% (even up to 20%) usually fly more consistently, which is why you might find that 125gr points "fly better" than 100gr points. Rather than experimenting with different point weights and fletching configurations you can use FOC to inform and narrow those choices. Unfortunately many people focus on reducing the weight of the point to get more speed without understanding the impact to balance and flight.
Yes, I will get more specific in the future. Thanks for watching Jeff!
By no means am I an archery expert. I work daily to perfect my form and accuracy. Consistency is key. My son and I video each other so that we can see bad habits.
When the camera is looking at you straight on, you tend to lean back toward you shooting hand after you come to full draw. Work to keep your upper body inline with your hips. It will help your accuracy. It doesn't appear that you do it every time, or some are more pronounced than others.
Archery is fun, but it's much like golf, even small things make a difference. Keep having fun. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks for the feedback Jeff!
Stiffer spine, more weight up front. Better momentum and penetration.
You continue to constantly impress me! I’m in the process of building my easton axis 300 arrows for 2021 elk season. Your videos are always a good watch. Btw, a plus 1” length is always what I go with. Good call. And good luck on your hunts!
Thank you Mike!!
Shes hots asf lol
