That Camouflage is so sick
Im sure it got a SEAL of approval
It’s incredible to watch you work, John. The attention to detail is top notch, and you’re always sharing your knowledge. Thank you!
Been making my own strings and cables for almost 8 years now using 452X string material and Halo end and center serving. Found the perfect number of strands for the bowstring with the perfect diameter center serving to allow the arrow nock to *just* snap on and then pop off with a slight tap on the string.
I have learned so much by watching you. And listen to wait you have to say. I have been into archery all my life but got heavy into it the last 5 years. Shooting a bow is one of the best sports you can do and hunting is awesome . I only bow hunt i do not gun hunt at all. Bows are to much fun.
Whoa!!!! I started installing shrink tubing on the QAD launcher prongs 10 years ago. I believe I was the first one to do that. Glad to see how far that little trick has gone!!!
I was also the first one to take a Dremel tool with a sanding drum to the V notch of the launcher and grind it down 1/8" to get my arrows to line up better with the Berger holes on my Bowtech Destroyer 350s (I have 2 of them), and get better clearance from the capture bar to my Blazer cock vane on my arrows. This was well before QAD came out with the LW1 launcher.
Bowtechs factory strings have 2 little rubber speed nocks I love how how easy it is to set nock height with them i wish all string companies used them
I wish I could show you my d-loop method John.
It works amazing and distributes the weight of the footprint evenly. Stays tight and never causes separation.
Its an outside tied version.
Ive done alot of testing and it doesnt change impact either.
I just move the pulling part of the d-loop to the outside instead of the inside.
No-cares but what a gem.

I like to do 6 on the bottom and 3 on top for your nocking points ,then when you hook your release on the d loop your pulling more in the center of the d loop.
That’s a wicked bow. I LOVE these build videos.
So many nuggets of info in this video
Here’s a little tip once you have your d loop exactly the length you like it ,measure and cut a bunch of them the same length and burn both ends.it might be a little harder to tie the shorter d loop on there but atleast you know the d loop will be very close to the draw length you like.
John,
I always enjoy watching your builds. This was was very good to watch! You added a little more detail in your explanations and it made it exceptional.
The only thing I struggle with is 90% of the guys out there who are going to do that center serving are going to do it wrong and be adding and trapping twist under there string like that. There is a proper direction to serve and tricks you ah e to learn to do it right.
To get that serving on there properly I take the string off. Have it in a string jig under and appropriate tension. And serve tight. With power grip. You can get it “okay” on the bow in a pinch. But I don’t think having Joe bow hunter serving on the bow in a non emergency situation like that is just going to lead to frustration for them. Beiter makes one of the best serving jigs that keeps its tension and you can make a jig using unistrut. And put the string under proper tension and serve it like it should be. I do agree. Most serving. Sucks. Especially from manufactures strings.
If you guys want to know how. Go look up automan on RUclips here. And follow his instructions.
Don’t forget guys. Set draw length and timing First! Get bow in spec and to YOUR spec.. Then set peep and alignment. Then do the D loop. 🤟🏻 or you will be retying or trying to twist the loop around to re align it for proper peep orientation.
Man I am glad you mentioned the rest placement because I have been getting so frustrated with trying to get some of these arrow rest to work on these new bows. I'm happy to know I'm not crazy.
ideal bow build for elk hunts and super awesome riser (frogman pattern - dig it).
Digging that music while peep was being tied in - merge of hardcore electronic and old school hard rock.
Mad scientist at work again. Man I want a bow set up by this guy lol. Your the GOAT bro!
appreciate it!
Great video John nice build 👍👍🏹
2 to the chest, one to the head..... Winning hearts and minds.....
You should name the bow the velociraptor. Awesome build. Awesome video.
Thanatos is Greek= Death
I miss my bow. Covid really fucked me and had to sell it to keep above water.
Kids gotta come first.
Don’t know when I’ll ever be able to get a bow again but I sure do miss it a lot.
Things have really changed in just the last couple years.
Feel like I have to re learn everything and I only just stopped shooting 3 years ago
Buy a beater, go to a pawn shop or keep an eye on craigslist. You can find some sweet deals on bows that may not be the latest and greatest but for sure have killed tons of animals. And can get you back into the swing of things
How can I get my Mach 34 in that Camo🙏😭
War Eagle at 24:48!
I would love if the Woodland Orogin Camo was an option on the Levitate when I ordered. Just got mine early last month.
Very informative thank you!
Sweet set up! Running nock-on rest and quiver on my XF33. lights out!
.
I question tho JD- quiver is CREEKY AF! any recommendations for quieting it down??
Thanks fir making awesome stuff and so much good experience backed knowledge sir 👊🏻⚡️

That can happen sometimes with the dovetail gets super fine dust it. I wipe that off when that starts. This is similar to what happens when a limb pocket gets dry and has fine dust in it and makes it creek. Sometimes a touch of wax can help too
Jocko for President......the bow is ok too.
Great video, that bow came out pretty sweet! Hey what was that folding knife you had?
Awesome video, I love the setup vids. When lifting the rest a bit higher for clearance, do you find the nocking point is also a bit higher than centre? If so do you need to change timing to suit? You're the best mate!
Dont they all shoot bullets through paper from one foot?
Gotta call it the jokoraptor
Is this order of nock points, d-loop, then peep the way you always do it? I’ve noticed that my peep getting in the right spot will turn my d-loop if previously tied. Thanks!
Hey Dud,, why did you pick an EC2 cam vs the E2 cam for him ?
Do you set your arrow through the middle of the berger holes or slightly above?
Im Greek i need this bow
I got anxiety when he drew it back without an arrow nocked 😂
Who did the camo?
Why change from the AAE to QAD?
Because the owner of aae is a flog
I still use both
Awesome vid thanks for posting. Any good recs on where i can send my levitate to get the origin camo pattern on it?
Right?
What do you think about gas string? I got the all white because I heard it didn't stretch but, I had to take it back because of my peep twist. Is that normal or I was just expecting too much . Thanks love your channel here in south Georgia
I make my own strings - no it is not normal. You should shoot about 50 arrows before putting the peep in to allow the string to 'settle'. Then fit the peep, again shoot some arrows for another qsettling in period. After that adjust your peep to straight and it should stay there with no rotation. A lot of problems occur because people make adjustments but then don't shoot enough to 'bed in' the adjustments. Another tip when twisting the string to align peep is to only ever add twists to the string don't remove twists.
When the amount of strings these companies have to make goes up...normally the quality goes down.
How far do you measure from nock point to peep?
What pliers are you using when setting your d loop?
What limb dampers?
Yo JD what does someone have to do to get a JD personal bow built for them, asking for a friend 😂
Draw length doesnt go short enough for Jocko
How come @EchoCharles doesn’t get a bow too?
Nice bow Dud! My nock on tattoo is bigger than yours. Lol
How can I get my NTN dipped in that Origin Raptor Camo 🔥😶🌫️🔥😶🌫️🔥😶🌫️🔥😶🌫️🔥😶🌫️🔥 Dopest of the DOPE
I laugh when they just eyeball the arrow at 90degrees. Take the time to level your bow and your arrow,and then it won’t hurt to move your rest up or down a little to fine tune it.and I’m just a rookie.
