Excellent presentation, really refreshing to hear common sense talk over hype and ego. I made my last upgrade when I discovered my $1500 bow didnt shoot any better than my $300 bow.

@tau2104 3 года назад

Well said Sir, I have learnt the same things over time my 38 years of shooting. I spent thousands over the years on the latest kit hoping for improvement in results. But I learnt later in life that even a modestly priced bow, shot by a shooting machine will show a high degree of consistency and repeatability. After all the bow is a machine. As the organic part of the shooting system… me in this instance, with the physical and psychological variables of a human being meant that I could never reach that shooting machine consistency. I realised the bow as a machine would always outshoot me in repeatability and performance. So spending money on the next new high performance cams, that would give me an extra few ft/sec made absolutely no real difference at all. I began to understand the main problem was with me not the equipment. So diligent, structured training, gaining experience and knowledge made the biggest contribution to my shooting and bank balance.

@tsz374 2 года назад

Amen to everything you have said. I have switched bows about every 5 years. (Not near as often as some.) After I bought my 2015 Prime Rival I was done. It felt good and fit me.

After having worked in an archery shop for the last few years I am firmly of the belief that the best bow for someone is the bow they like and the bow they shoot a lot, that's the bow they'll shoot best with. Too many people lose the forest for the trees. You can shoot pretty much any bow in any configuration well just so long as you shoot it A LOT

I've had 4 bows so far. I keep trying to upgrade but I always run back to my original bow, a single cam 2005 Bear Trx400. It was a gander mountain special, a budget package. I bought it for $50 at a garage sale 4 years ago. I just can't shoot anything else as accurately. Looks like I will stick with it for good! 73lbs @ 29.5" 304 fps Heavy as hell Stable Quiet Maintaining 1.5" accuracy at 20yds is easy. Maybe 1/10 arrows will be outside of 1.5"

My Mathews DXT is the last bow I will ever need , with a single pin setup from 10-25 yard lung shot it’s solid , quite , accurate and at 60 pounds & 28” draw has enough energy for my arrow to easily pass through a deer .

As a finger shooter who bought my first compound in 1976 I love it that you’re talking about longer axle to axle bows with lower letoff. My favourite bow is still my Browning Explorer that I picked up in San Francisco in 1983, 60lb peak and 30% letoff 48” axle to axle that has never fouled me up in heavy country and allows a quick smooth draw for the rapid shooting on feral pigs and goats over here in Australia. Yes I would love to upgrade to something faster but the archery world has left me and my dated shooting style far behind 😉 🇦🇺

I love my 2005 Bowtech Diamond Liberty. I just had lower poundage limbs put on because of injury and not being able to shoot for a long time. Now getting back into archery, I am adding in traditional archery as well. Wanted to start that after I got "good enough" with my compound but I got hurt. Still learning after all this time that its best to keep it simple to your understanding. Like some are geeks about it to a fault. Just enjoy the activity. Have fun while figuring it out. Getting others that you know into it makes it so much better. Most of the community is great. Open and supportive. AND you sir, ... Need to be in front of the camera more.

I always learn something from your videos. I am still working my way back to hunting accuracy after a year of not being able to shoot vertical bows. I had some Bohning Bolt Vanes and figured I'd try them on my arrows (my xbows didnt shoot them well). I put them on with a slight offset and they worked great. And yes, they are definitely quiter... ,kinda funny, my xbows like the Blazers and my verticals like the bolt vanes.. But, I will fletch up a few with Blazers again and try them as soon as I can because it's back to the xbow for a bit. - Public service announcement: I have to use the xbow because of a treestand accident today. My bottom or top slipped (still not 100% sure) and the left side of my face met the tree. My glasses lens popped out at the impact. My left eye is blacker than black and swollen shut. It swelled up so fast that the gash in my eyelid didn't bleed. I had my HSS harness on and I was belted to the tree. It saved me from a fall to the ground. So please, please... Wear the harness and be attacned to the tree. It was my fault. I was trying to climb too much with each move up the tree and my mind was on the deer I bumped and the guy walking his dog... Not on making sure my stand was set before I made another move. God was watching out for me.. He told my guardian angel "Not yet"... Please be safe.

@tylerspillane5487 2 года назад

So true. Good fundamental skills are so much more important than what bow you shoot. I switched from recurve to compound 4 years ago on a bear whitetail hunter ( I'm pretty sure it's bears first compound) I brought it to get restrung and after shooting my first 6 arrows through it a young guy at the range told his friend how good I was shooting "for that bow". Once I got my sights right and got used to the let off of a compound (only 40% on that bow) I embarrassed the hell out of the kid. Now I hunt with a bear whitetail legend but I have a coyote problem and regularly take them at around 30-40 yards in my back yard with the 45 year old bow. There have been a lot of tuning advancements since that bow came out but the majority of new tech with compounds make them easier and more comfortable to shoot and not always more accurate

I am still very new to archery hunting. I'm on about my 5th season. I am still rocking a 2008 bowtech that I bought used in probably 2015. I have been slowly upgrading it with good sight, rest, and quiver that I can transfer over to a new bow whenever I finally upgrade. Hopefully next year will be the year so I can finally get a bow that is more suitable to my size. My current bow is maxed out on both draw length(has the longest mods you can get) but is still a little too short and poundage. Also we couldn't get it to tune very well due to lack of adjustments on the bow so I need to do a little thumb squeeze to correct.

@ariankozlansky6348 3 года назад

Im so glad you discussed letting down the bow. I feel like its something that is left out with most guys but to me it is so crucial to have a smooth let down. Iv had bows that were good and bad. My buddies all love bowtechs and although I havent shot the new SS, to me I just couldnt let them down smooth. My V3 is nice to let down. Its just important to know that as something important before you buy a bow. Really good video. Enjoyed it!

@MrShysterme 3 года назад

i have to push my bowtech revolt on comfort forward to let it down (at least that is the sensation) because the let off is high and valley is huge (which is nice), this is actually hard on your shoulders because you are not engaging the muscles that will have to catch the string once it starts moving

@Njjb122 3 года назад

@jasonbrady7861 3 года назад

Letdown on my Revolt X is interesting. The backwall is so solid and the letoff so comfortable that it feels like you have to push the string to let it down. It does kinda pull at your shoulder muscles uncomfortably because that transition is quick and powerful from.. comfortably held backwall to the bow wanting to jump forward.. I'm shooting 62lbs on comfort setting... the tradeoff to me is worth the 'harsh' letdown for the solid backwall and higher letoff %... it's a great bow!

@1william89 3 года назад

Completely feel this video, I felt like all the crap I was doing to try and “make my bow shoot better” actually was helping but it in fact was hindering. I changed my arrows from 440 grain arrows to 550 grain arrows, I went from 4 fletch to 3 back to 4 back to 3 now, using 4 different type of fletching. Messed with 4 different releases, tried new rests new peeps. Every time I kept messing with my setup it made my groups worse and worse. Really messes you up mentally when you have all this crap and still can’t get a decent group at 40yrds. Recently I went back to basics of a heavy arrows 3 fletch with a single pin and shoot at 30 to “retrain” myself in simple steps to shoot the bow 😬.

One of them is functional but short draw for me. I may be able to use it by drawing to my chin. The other is larger and probably a better fit but the string is shredded so will have to wait until I can afford a restring and fitting.

I was going to stick with my 06 PSE at least one more season and hopefully get my first deer 🦌 with it, but I went to a new local archery 🏹 pro shop and they had a bare shot (50 shots through it) PRIME BLACK 3 for $600 and couldn’t pass up the $400+ in savings.

@bctpcp9546 Год назад

The only disadvantage for blue is not for deer but for any birds you may have missed sitting in trees above you because they can see color and if startled they might fly off and startle your deer but other than that it would only happen if you were waving the bow sideways in the air (very unlikely), so yeah blue means nothing and is fine for hunting.

Sure who wouldnt? I cant afford to drop $1,800 on the latest Mathews or Hoyt. My bow shoots good and I’m accurate with it. It’s my bow and I worked hard for the money I spent on it. I am however navigating the rabbit hole that is saddle hunting with gear and platforms etc. never realized what a money pit hunting can be. Growing up, i got a rifle for Christmas, had some mix match camo, and a Walmart special Winchester knife.

Hi Nate. It was cool hearing you teach kids. Props to you. I'm a small town English teacher in West Central Minnesota. By the way, I shoot an older Hoyt Ultra Mag and I love it. Keep up the good work.

Middle School English for me! Tough work, but honest work. 😎

@whitetailpoet4243 3 года назад

@@averagejackarchery I love it! 7th through 12th grade preps for me in a small town school. I'm sure the students love your class. Take care.

My Bear was 39" axel to axel and used for hunting all the time.

Like you my Elite Ritual is setup so I can hunt with it or shoot 3-d or dots. My hunting and target arrows have been built so I do not need to do anything to change the bow. I change the sight/scope and the stabilizers in about 1 minute and done.

@6saturdaysaweek Год назад

Love the work, way to articulate your ideas about the sport we love. Keep up the great work!

@flathead5412 2 года назад

I shoot a 06 Matthews and I ain’t changed a single thing on it. I have been extremely lucky that I have not broken anything or dropped it though I’ve been close and my heart stopped each time. I’m 31 now and the only time I will even think about gettin another one is if one of my two boys wants mine instead of there own. At that point I’ll be hollering at my dad to see if he wants to get rid of his 08.

I’m new to bows and this was super helpful.

@deanehuff1589 3 года назад

Great advice as usual. There is nothing wrong with sticking with an old reliable bow that drives tacks and kills deer just as well as the latest and greatest would. Being a non-conformist is both fun and liberating. Enjoy your archery in the way that makes you happy and satisfied.

@garrettlandin8734 3 года назад

I would soo love to go hunting with you sometime! I don't know much about bows and literally nothing about tuning but it just seems like it would be so much fun to go out into the woods with you man! God bless!

@Deadbuck73 3 года назад

I loved my PSE Thunderbolt... and I still love my Matthews Switchback XT... I still don’t need two cams or six extra feet of stabilizers.. Robin Hood’s aplenty... the shooter needs to learn to shoot and not expect the bow to do magic for them... and that’s when the magic happens!

@robertdeis132 3 года назад

Nate, you're not missing much in the special regs areas. At least in the 5D WMA, too warm and green for my taste. I'm considering switching to a stick bow because I'm getting tired of the maintenance with a compound. I'd rather focus less on the bow and more on the arrows and broadheads.

@craighanson6936 3 года назад

I just got comfortable with my Kure,broad heads are shooting good field points are shooting good thinking I’m ready to go hunting and now you’re making me think that I need to mess with my let off for that nice smooth let down you were talking about oh well I guess I’m not quite ready yet👍🏻👍🏻

@averagejackarchery 3 года назад

Nah! Plenty of time in the off-season for that. Leave the confidence high and shoot it the way it's rocking!

Pine Ridge came out with the Predator vanes back in the mid-2000s. They absolutely sucked at adhesion to the arrow shaft. I hope the Nitro vanes stick better than those Predator vanes did.

@ericeverson6822 3 года назад

Love this video! I’m hunting with my red trx 40 60 pounds 80% let off this year! It was my dream bow I got for target shooting ended up being and shooting so good I want to use it for hunting!

Just bought my first bow a week ago for 100€ (second hand). Very happy with it so far, still learning how to use it correctly.

@naturalgamerjk606 3 года назад

Hey man I just got a new bow and I’ve watched so so many videos on correct form and correct shooting techniques and I just can’t be consistent, I know it’s not my bow because My other bow was on and just I can’t be accurate with this one, my shots are going high left, low left, high right and sometimes bull eyes I just don’t understand

@ALNTV1541 2 года назад

For my abilities, when needing vanes. I’ve had great luck with the shrink vanes you dip in hot water.

I bought a brand new leftover 2015 bow that I had sought after for years. Can I be in the club? AND, few years ago there was a blue bow thread on AT, wish I could find it again. Lots of people killing Deer with all manners of Blue bows😎

@neorcracer5289 2 месяца назад

The hard truth in any sport is that if you’re good enough that a top tier piece of gear will make a difference, some company will happily sponsor you and give you that gear for free or pay you to endorse them. For the rest of us, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t spend to enjoy the nice things. It just means that you accept that you’re doing it to have something nicer and NOT that it will make you objectively better.

I have gone back to recurves, heavier arrows, basic sights. Tab release, shooting gloves, ect. The way I learned 50 years ago, wasn't that fancy. I was taught on a longbow, no sights, natural aiming. I was taught that your basic skills are not in the bow. They are in the shooter.

@steve8828 3 года назад

High let off is not your friend. It is simply a marketing ploy. Using 70v mods on my TRX 34 this year. It feels and holds so much better. Great video as always.

@WM-jy9dz 3 года назад

...it's horses for courses ....your 70% might not hold so well anymore if you have to hold it for 30 sec and longer ....

@henrybrylowski1332 3 года назад

I still like longer axle to axle bow, still have my 2002 hoyt Aspen 48" axle to axle bow (shot with fingers)! And a 2007 vortrix 36" axle to axle bow and have been tinkering with them only for the 3-4 years myself. Wish I wasn't so intimidated for all those years to tinker on my bows myself (shooting for almost 30 years now 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️).
