These vids are worth every minute ... Just started doing my own work and its satisfying . Ordered most of my equipment and parts through your website , press , draw board , arrows , components , etc...These vids have made it effortless with a little practice . Built my first naked bow ( Mathews Phase 4 I ordered from you ). About to restring a bow for the first time. Great feeling not to have to drive to the bow shop , just pull up Podium Archer or call your shop ...Not to forget the vids on shooting , building arrows and what components work best ....Keep up the good work !!!
MFJJ thanks us for watching. Class act. Guy is putting in constant work - making the videos to teach anyone watching how to build a bow. I'm just thankful for the instruction. These bow build videos are the best. Helped me put together my first bow almost a year ago now. Keeping it tuned, and shooting straight. Keep up the solid work.
MFJJ I really enjoy your videos very informative. I was wondering if you could do a video on installing a peep sight. I know you have a video out there showing how to tie one in but I was hoping for a more in depth video of different peep options (with the advantages/disadvantages of each). Also when setting up a new string how to get the peep to not twist, when do I twist the string (which end of the string to twist) just a in MFJJ video special on selecting and installing a peep into a new string/new bow would be greatly appreciated.
I'm in Australia mate, and the tune/tech/shot cycle and progression side I have learnt and made me more confident working/tinkering at home watching the legend himself, your unselfishness to share your knowledge has been phenomenal and priceless Thanks MFJJ
Good video! Nice to see up close working and setting up the rest and nock point as well as the knots. Whether or not I'll be able to find this in a few months or not is a different story! It'd be cool to have a shortcut or an album on your channel to different parts of working on your bow to be able to find quickly instead of trying to remember what bow you were working on that day when I saw that tip on tieing soft knots, etc.
You've helped me a ton watching your videos. A lot of great tips and I've gotten way more comfortable doing most the work on my bows at home. Building all my own different arrow setups, and even had some arrow questions I emailed to your website and you were cool enough to take the time to help me out. Love the videos and thanks for all the great content. Now i just wished I could get moved from Alaska to Northern Idaho so i could come check out the shop...
Great content. I am wanting to become more self sufficient not only to work in my bows but eventually building my bows all myself and your content helps immensely as a learning tool. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you very much for yur value content. I am watching from Germany and would love to have a shop like yours near my hometown. Unfortunately we don't have any shops like yours.
Thanks for all of the information that you put out there. Videos are great and I do order things from you because my local shop does not carry some stuff that are needed to build arrows. For that I'm grateful that you say it will take a week for me to get it and it's the in less them a week in good working condition and nicely packaged. Keep up the great work
After using hamskae rests I switched back to vapor trail rests. Their both limb driven but the vapor trail is simpler and lighter. After 15yrs working industrial maintenance and 2 decades of keeping my vehicles on the road you learn to look for simplicity and reliability. I'm surprised vapor trail rest's aren't more popular on big youtube channels? I'd assume its due to sponsorships and marketing if I had to take a guess.
Wondering, why do you wax the piss out of the soft knot material and wax the crap out of the d loop material? Kidding! We watch because you provide solid information. I appreciate the opportunity to learn. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I love watching all your videos , I order everything from you. My shop is not good so I buy everything from you. I’ll be buying my Mathew’s or Rx8 or Ultra or Alpha X 30 or Elite Ethos. Soon as I get better with my bear adapt plus.
I've used other's methods on tying a d-loop, I find yours the easiest. Plus I just carry pre-cut, pre melted, d-loop material in my kit. So if I ever have to replace it in the field, its much easier.
Went to your shop, shot it and dig that bow. As a back pack hunter it’s a great balance of light weight, performance, and packability. Sadly I only got some inserts for my RIP TKO 250’s, which by the way rock.
Hello Mfjj, with out knowing just how many years you have in grade of your bow maintenance Knowledge, with all the pain staking efforts you put in your details of everything you know, Makes a really good video
Another great video full of great tips. Appreciate thee honest reviews & trying out the new camera angles. I know it takes a lot of time to make these videos & really appreciate the effort. Excited to see the next few videos!
Good video, I’d really like it to continue with the hard part. Seems most of these need to be shimmed as far left as possible for a right hand shooter and then the cam lean really excessive. Twisting up the yoke on one side helps bring it in line but it takes a lot of twists.
Hamskea recommended against putting the cord though the PBTS, because of the blade bouncing back up as the weight of the rubber dampener moves forward. Time to put the high speed camera to good use😉
After building this bow I am curious what your thoughts are on what Carbon bow you think is the best. I am looking to get a bow refresh soon and would love to know your thoughts on these NEW carbon bows that are out there.
I really enjoy each and every Video you publish, I would also order one or the other piece not being available here in Germany, but I am not sure if you would ship abroad (except Canada) or better Overseas. 🙂
Just curious, you always say that limb driven rests are more accurate than cable. But you just turned that limb driven into a canle driven. Will that affect performance?
Josh do you sell those straight handled Allen wrenches or do you know where I can get them I've been looking for a good set for years tired of the Harbor Freight junk
Why do PSE and Mathews and others use a floating yoke design rather a fixed yoke that can more easily be adjusted for cam lean? Is there a benefit to the fixed yoke design that I'm not seeing?
Must be the 3” reflex doesn’t matter one iota. Hmmm. But we can’t buy bows from your site except the Title. It’s a shame because I want a lift and my local shops have proven to not deserve my business because I have to tune it myself.
Can you show us an example of a Mathews yoke spiller ‘cracking’ because the cord was attached to it. I find it hard to believe. I own a V3X33 and Phase 4 29. Both have Epsilon rests on them and both are attached to the yoke splitter. Thousands of arrows shot through them both with zero issues. On the other hand, attaching the cord to the limb creates one big problem in my experience. The ridiculously long cord hanging down at full draw has a tendency to snag on the gripper of Mathews quiver at the shot. When this happens the arrow hits the rest and the arrow flys off into Timbuktu.
Would be nice if someone showed how high your arrow rest is off the shelf, since everything is based off that. Seems like everyone just slaps that on and then tunes the bow the rest instead of tuning the equipment to the bow.
Why do have such a short d loop, i dont shoot a big one either, but im curious what the benefits is. I think it be hard to get my wisechoice to clip in with a arrow, i dont know just asking questions
