This channel is for archers of all levels that want to help grow this awesome sport. Let's become more knowledgeable & share what we know on this journey together.
I believe that’s the conversation that we as archers all have in our minds when the latest and greatest new bow release comes out. especially when your married, the dog house is my new address lol
Sweet video. Watch your draw length in the pics of you shooting from the side and back. Try a 1/2" to 1" longer, your back elbow is a good amount in front of your body and you have a decent bend in your front arm. A bent front arm is not 100% repeatable. Think about "bone on bone", wrist-elbow-shoulder. You start to draw with a straight front arm, then you bend it to get you anchor. Just trying to help, not criticize.
Good day. God bless, I am going g to my 1st asa in Connecticut. Any words of advice. How was your 1st time I see you did a look of work to get better. You have help me with some of my issues..
Another helpful tip with an index is I touch my pointer finger to my thumb creating a closed loop if that makes sense and just pull through the shot. Keeps my finger placement on the trigger the same each time. I do the same with my thumb release. That has helped me immensely just to focus on the shot process
Interesting review - thanks. Can I ask what the square thing on the side of your scope is? Is that an eye dominance mask? Can you buy them or did you make it?
That isn’t a wise decision. In known if you’re not shooting at least. 30 up. You have no chance. You’re just donating. I’m switching to unknown and that’s definitely dumb to jump in the pro class.
I have the Kairos coming. My DL is only 28.5. I just really wanted to see if the Ethos is better than my omnia. It definitely holds better. I’d say it’s more consistent as well
Logic dictates brand loyalty has no tangible value. What does have value is the bow that fits you in more and better ways than other bows you have used. All the characteristics that make this “new?” one work better is what we are always seeking.
Yeah that’s why I shoot what I shoot. There’s no brand loyalty at all in my collection of bows. I have close to 20. I buy what I want because I want it. There’s no other justification I need. I don’t care about numbers. I don’t care about size, brace height or none of it. If I shoot it and makes me feel good. I buy it.
I would think an indoor eval doesn't do it justice. I think outdoors with stiff winds will show you the better holding/more forgiving bow. Just my $.02
If you can’t hold at 5-10 yards. You think you’ll be able to hold at 20-80yds. There’s a 8x lens in that scope. If I’m not holding at 5yds indoor. I promise you I’m not holding at 80yds outside If I didn’t have the 8x lens I’d agree. But know I hold this bow well outside because I hunt with it.
I never put the thought into the string angel before. But the way you explained it made perfect since. I’m shooting a longer ata now and I’m not as accurate as I was with my short ones. I’m 100% going to look into this and see if it helps. Great video btw
My verdicts are 37 3/4 and my Omnia is 32. Just think about that string angle difference. I’m still testing but right now the shorter axle to axles are winning.
I'm shooting my Kairos quite well and enjoy shooting it. I'll shoot my first 3d course tomorrow and will know how well I shoot it. Thanks for your work and best wishes.
I’ll wait another year fees like they called it in this year. No new tech in the bows. No new anything other then longer ata and used a cam from a target bow. Colors are nice though
I’d say go shoot them. I don’t think anyone could truthfully say. These bows hold like the Era or the omnia. The Kairos definitely holds better than the Verdict. I doubt any brand comes out with new tech anytime soon that consumers will notice or not be upset about. Unless you want the bows to shoot themselves.
I was a Mathew’s guy from 2003 - 2018(give or take a year) I got an Elite from Keith Trail in 2017 or 18 and I’ve been a fan ever since!! Elite Impulse
When I was introduced to the elite verdict. I was actually shooting a bowtech. I told myself I wasn’t going to switch bows. Cause at that point I had a Mathew’s V3x PSE Supra RTX, prime inline 5, bowtech reckoning. I was done buying bows. Then I met a guy in Vegas. Now I have 2 verdicts, omnia and kairos.
@@arrowsup right but even 2 month old nocks can be pretty janky. Especially if you’re shooting a competition and really want the best performance possible you should get new nocks. They’re small pieces of plastic that are prone to wear. Give it a look into I think it makes sense.
@StanielP you swap nocks every 2mo? What nocks are you buying? I’ve never had any issues with my AAE IP4 or beiters nocks. Where I need to change them that much. I get though a season just fine and I shoot indoor, field and 3D.
@@arrowsup oh yeah, there are a bunch in used hands. Just need to ask around. The hook can be turned around and used backwards, you keep tension on the middle finger to draw and slowly release the middle finger to make it fire!! 🤭🫣
my brain does not pick up the function of those. I like to be fully in control when I let things fly. if it holds the string and I can feel when right before it release I would be more comfortable.
Oh I couldn’t wrap my brain around it either. Honestly I still can’t. All I know is it works. It breaks cleaner and my accuracy has definitely went up. I have spent 1000s on handhelds. 20+ releases I have and none 2nd hand. All to be introduced to a release that came out in 2008 and I execute better with it than any other hinge or back tension in my collection.
I got a 2 finger hooker, its amazing how quiet your shot is without a release going off next to your ear. I got it for next to nothing with another release. I wasnt even sure they made them anymore. I was excited to see someone make a video about it that wasnt 15 years old lol.
They’ve been around since 2008 & I knew nothing about them. A friend on fb told me about them & I wish I would’ve known about these. I wouldn’t have spent thousands on other handhelds. I’ve been chasing this type of hold for 3yrs
So help me understand, you shoot this like a hinge, but the head doesn’t move, correct? As you rotate the release, it just slips off the end of the hook?
Yes! It’s so strange but it works. Best handheld in my collection. I hold way better with it. There’s nothing moving so your hold is never change shape.
