Thank you, Average Jack, from providing more information in 10 minutes than I got in over an hour of trying to do research on the differences in point types. I'm trying to add mechanical differences to arrow head types in a tabletop game I'm making, and your demonstration has been invaluable in figuring out what I'm actually considering adding in.
🤣 “Ooh, that bugger’s in there!” Anyone would think you’re an Aussie mate! 👍 Thank you for even more great content! I’m going for Saunders Bullet points now. Cheers!
Hey Aja, I have a question I was shooting 46 pounds, now I’m shooting 48. It’s kind of hard to draw.. my question is will I get used to drawing the bow and why is it hard to draw?
Could be poor technique, bad form and you are using the wrong muscles. Generally if your form is good, the more you shoot the better and stronger you'll get. A lot of RU-vid archers have really terrible form.
You either have to do 150 takes to produce a finished video or the outdoor production companies are dropping the ball by not picking you up! You’re a natural in front of the camera. Clear concise delivery of information from a “best neighbour in the world” style personality. Subscribed.
Personally. I like the bullet points. Last year I proper robin hooded 14 arrows (not just nock damage, shafts split open) at distances from 20 to 100 yards. As for shooting a lot. That was the plan with the lockdown, unfortunately the missus keeps finding other jobs for me to do.
I’m really liking bullet points. I’ve got some 100 grain Allens and some 200 grain stainless ones from Ethics. Easy to pull. Besides the point design, if you are running an outsert, collar, or footer, it will be harder to pull and really hard on bag targets.
Great question. I find actually it's more related to penetration rather than the hole itself. Visualize something like clear ballistics gel. Once a bullet or arrow goes so far for penetration testing, it has now comprised all of that space from the edge of the target to the inside of the gel where it stopped penetrating. If that arrow is now made much shorter, then the compromising isn't as deep and lead to longer target life. I can't actually say this for certain, but anecdotally it's what I've observed shooting over the years.
I enjoy long distance target shooting. I have uncut arrows maximal edge spine 300 (33 inch so 9.7gpi) + 125gn point = 445gn They fly nicely of 30lbs compound and group in a 5 inch circle. However, I am a beginner so what do I know! Initially I was going to cut them to 30 inch to keep the arrows at 425gn. Should I do it? I am training myself to get up to 70lbs asap so the arrows spine will suit better. Any tips?
Tried the Allen bullet tips. Sure made my retrieval a lot easier than the other field tips I was using, thanks for the helpful info. I'm an old geezer just getting into archery and I was having a terrible time getting my arrows out of the target The Allen bullet tips makes life a whole lot easier.
I put those NAP bull nose rounded things on my new arrows today. Mostly because they did not have anything else in stock. I shot out to 40 today, just got home and put a dab of shoe goo on the threads to keep them from loosening up. They look pretty dorky but hey they flew good. Working my way out to 60 for this Spot Hogg sight tape. That seems like a mile lol. So this evening is being consumed by watching target flinch videos, and trying to find my most relaxed draw length. Lightened the trigger on B3 Hawk helped too...back at it tomorrow.
Allen Bullets were the only thing available during deer season. Man...I thought I was getting a good deal at Walmart for $3/10. Really love the mileage you get out of these. Geat shooting with Carbon Express Wolverines.
Very informative video. And timely as well since I am about ready to build some new outdoor arrows. Problem is right now stock is pretty low - on line anyway. I might need to make a trip to a local store. Well done as usual.
very useful comparison. I often wonder on field courses if pulling the arrows from 3ďs is actually where the exercise lies. putting tjem in is the easy part.
Another informative video, thanks. I just came on from my 1st outdoor session in a t-shirt (Binbrook, Ontario) shooting Easton aluminum shafts with a bullet style point into a Morrell yellow jacket. At the end you mentioned an arrow lube? I have used floor wax so far is there something better?
Ha, made me laugh. Great video. I watched it because I was wondering which style of FP to buy. I lean toward bullet or combo, but I'm going with the bullet. I shoot a Morrell Yellow Jacket bag style target and find they are the easiest to pull out.
Hi 👋 Jack , This was an incredible video on field point selection . I know that I have to have that red target 🎯..My favorite colour . Do you think that I would have an issue extracting my 20” carbon bolts or do I call you for assistance ?LOL .I have a set of bullnoses only they are fluted point to the rear. Old and unique..Be safe mate!! I’m a Navy vet
