Putting the arrow where it needs to be is far more vital than its FPS

@ijaxon6675 2 года назад

Completely true. 10 pounds if not less. If you could get close enough to a deer and stab him with an arrow in the heart it would kill it. So yes a 30# bow can kill a deer with a well placed shot.

@Ranger_k16 2 года назад

You're not wrong however there is a caveat you overlooked. If the arrow is not traveling as fast, it will have a steeper arc and will take longer to get to the target which can translate to striking a branch ect it also gives the animal more time to get out of the way and could result in poor placement

I found a Barnett youth bow at Walmart for more than half off on clearance and picked it up on a whim. I figured it would be good to target shoot with along with my sons. It was set about 43 lbs from the factory and that felt just fine to me. My buddy hunts and as humbling as it is, I've never even been able to draw his bows back. I'm only 5'-6" and not super strong and the youth bow feels just about right to me. I had to dial it back to about 25 lbs for my wife and oldest son to be able to pull it back but I know I can always crank it back up to the max for myself. I don't see a need for much more, because I'd probably struggle too much with it. This is just for backyard target shooting anyway.

Just the video I needed....The second I clicked I see a Penn State hat, I though ok this guy got that part right he is worth a listen......then you added a PA hunter (my home state) made this extremely informative to me just getting into archery at a later age (40+) having filled many many rifle tags over the years my son is now hunting making rifle season more of a learning time for him, so I wanted a hunt I can call my own. Not that I mind showing him in any way. Its just a Dad thing I have spent many years on my own hunting so now I have to learn just like him. So I figured why not pick up bow hunting for some :me time" in the woods. Grab one of these adjustable compounds like Diamond pro or Bears G2 that way when I am better he gets my old bow to start his learning cycle with. Great stuff!!!!!!!!!!!

@travismoore2495 7 лет назад

good video and info, people need to remember your pass through or penitration relies relies heavily on kinetic energy from arrow weight. people often increase poundage to increase speed but the problem is your only going to gain 7/8 fps for 5 pounds of draw weight, and often require a heavier stiffer arrow. it's not all crank your bow up and call it a day. the biggest factor is your cam design and how fast it can release the energy.

@MrSmoothasf 5 лет назад

I haven't been shooting long and the first time I used my compound bow I thought my shoulder was going to cave in at 55ibs. I dropped it to 45 and after 2 weeks of getting my technique right I was able to put the bow up to 70 and I pull that with ease. The let off is enough that it doesn't affect my accuracy. My point is with the correct technique there's no need to be using 35-40pound draw weights and taking the risk of injuring rather than killing.

@vf12497439 7 лет назад

When I first got into the sport I went all out for an 80# setup. I was elk hunting in the west so I justified my decision because of the size of my game. Later I picked up a Martin bow to be my target practice bow, it maxed out at 70#. My groups of practice shots tightened up immensely at 40 and 60 yards. I discovered that I was using so much energy pulling and holding the draw weight that it was negatively effecting my shooting ability. I routinely shoot 65#, 70# bows now as a well placed shot will always be more lethal than a poorly placed more powerful shot.

@vf12497439 7 лет назад

+Nikolai Kravchenko when I first got into archery hunting draw weight meant faster. Now the bows are so fast that you can choose. I had a Person Spoiler 80# bow with an over draw and shooting a 26 inch arrow I was getting speeds of 250 fps. That was pretty fast in 1990. Now with the newer bows and carbon arrows... Well you know lol

+daimon hellstrom lol, I never did tree stands but I'll be 45 on my next birthday and I'm stiff in warm weather! Lol

@vf12497439 7 лет назад

+daimon hellstrom I've had good results, I've often wondered about tree stands but in my area it's tall timber and tight underbrush. You could sit on a good trail for a week and not see an animal and sometimes they might travel that path daily. One Hunter can run a heard of elk out of an area and they might not come back for weeks. Basically the herds are scattered after opening weekend and you might spend several days locating a herd after that. And if a lead cow is killed in a herd, that herd could scatter into two or more small groups. That being said I've wondered but never wanted to stay stationary. Most people on the coast range of Oregon stalk instead of using stands.

I shoot a 55lb recurve with a 675 grain arrow going maybe 170fps. It will go through any bone on a whitetail. I have no problem shooting a deer quartering towards me.

I know several guys that hunt with 40-45lb bows with really heavy arrows and have no problem getting passthroughs on deer even through bone.

@richardpeterson3753 6 лет назад

jokes aside, I'm pretty sure there are dynamic differences between bows and crossbows, so my question is, if I'm looking for a crossbow that can reasonably take up to large game, what would be the ideal draw weight? not asking for an extream end lol. I may need to make the bow prod, and I also don't want to draw a 175# draw crossbow repeatedly all day. can a 75-100# prod work? I'm not totally sure what differences are between bows and crossbows in terms of draw weigh, and energy of projectiles, but I know the two won't be identical just by nature of the design. I don't need to seige a castle, just drop a deer. so what is the reasonable ranges in the crossbow world?

@andrewwolflethecatfishmast790 6 лет назад

I use a 180 lpound crossbow. I'm only 13. I use rope cocking aids to pull up the crossbow string to the trigger lock. I pretty sure you will be fine. Pick the bow that appeals to you. Shoot and practice with it. You will do just fine.

@bossmcasskick4051 7 лет назад

What if you made an arrow out of a steel pipe (with the diameter of an regular arrow) and drilled a shit ton of holes in it so that the blood could gush out through the arrow itself? The arrow usually blocks the wound channel and you have to rely on the cutting of the tip to do the killing. With a pipe it would be like an open wound that can't close. I'm guessing it could also channel blood into the lungs if you hit those. Has an arrow like this been made before?

@averagejackarchery 7 лет назад

As far as I'm aware no one has ever devised a "swiss cheese" arrow before, although the concept is intriguing. However, in practice, it would be much more lethal for the shooter than for the animal he was trying to harvest. An arrow relies on its ability to transfer the bow's energy equally along the length of its shaft. If there are any weak spots (i.e. holes or cracks) all the momentum and energy gets focused on the weakest spot and the results are catastrophic.

@MyLonewolf25 7 лет назад

In Hungary, the law about hunting says 50# draw weight is the minimal for big game hunting for the man. Women don't have the same legal limit. 50# is very sweet. This is not too much for small game and enough for big game and also in competition, you can use it for everything.

I'm guessing, with your draw length of 28", you're dealing with an arrow slightly below or just at 400 grains. With your draw weight I think you're pushing enough energy out to 30 yards, especially with a cut-on-contact, 3 blade broadhead like the Montec. But shot placement is key with pigs. Even small ones are built like Mack trucks made out of cinder blocks and stainless steel. But you probably already know that. ;)

An Average Jack yeah correct 400 grain arrow is what i'll be using i gotta study a vital chart on a hog to see where exactly to put the placement shot thanks for the info.

@averagejackarchery 7 лет назад

No problem.

@alexhood-keys1321 7 лет назад

I have a 35lb samick sage what arrow spine and grain broad head would you recommend? Also could I shoot this to 25 yards using a fixed crawl method? I'm tired of only hunting during gun season in Wisconsin the pressure is crazy on public land and I think I would see less people bow hunting

@MrWizardjr9 7 лет назад

a standard 100 grain probably and check arrow spine charts

@averagejackarchery 7 лет назад

Alex Hood-Keys You're probably looking at a 600-500 spine arrow depending on the length of draw and shaft length. And the broadhead depends on spine stiffness. You're pushing it at 25 yards with and 35lb bow. I mean it's doable, but it had better be and perfect broadside shot. That's what I'd think anyways! :)

@alexhood-keys1321 7 лет назад

I have a 29 inch draw and thinking I should buy 30" arrows

@averagejackarchery 7 лет назад

Okay! 500 spine will probably be your best bet. Just a personal preference tip: I use 100 grain brass inserts as well as a 125 gr Magnus Stinger broadhead. So 225 grains up front. Increases FOC and also allows me to have a stiffer spine. I shoot 400 spine 31" arrows out of a 45# recurve. So there's another thing to play around with!

@duanevigue1603 2 года назад

I know you touched on it, but ALWAYS check your local laws. Here in Maine, draw MINIMUM weight when hunting deer and bear is 35lbs. Moose, 45lbs. You are ALSO required to be using a broadhead with a MINIMUM of 7/8 inch width.

Great vid. If you think about it, native Americans have hunted deer and other species of animals for a long time and obviously they didn't have the technology of todays modern bows, arrows or mechanical or even steel razor blade broad heads. Yet, they were able to harvest game successfully. I agree the poundage isn't necessarily what gets the job done, its shot placement.

@stizan24 7 лет назад

Illinois is 40lb in 29 inches. I shoot 63 and will probably have it up to 65 by October. I'm going to have it at 70 by next year because I'm going moose hunting and I might have to reach out to 50 yards to tag him. Besides my bow is 60 to 70 and I like the heavy draw. It makes shooting more fun if you can only shoot 6. Besides how many shots do you need to kill a deer? 1.

@ngnmech 6 лет назад

Actually Illinois has dropped the minimum to 30 pounds this year.

hey average jack i am 14 years old i was wondering if 30 to 75 lbs bow will be too heavy for my first bow ( i have no archery stores in my city)

@averagejackarchery 8 лет назад

A bow that goes from 30 to 75 pounds is a great bow to start with and grow into the more you get into the sport. Start with a safe low poundage, and work you're way up. When I was your age I was only shooting 35-40 pounds and did so until I was 16. I harvested plenty of animals and was able to work on a solid archery form because of the low weigh. That solid form has stuck with me now and allows me to shoot those higher poundages. Good luck! God bless.

are pawn shops good places to look for a youth bow cuz I'm only 14 and I'm tryin to get into bow hunting

@averagejackarchery 7 лет назад

Pawn shops are illegal here in PA so I can't say I've been in one to buy bows! However, I've seen A TON of great bows on eBay posted by pawn shops' online websites and they always seem to be in really good shape. A lot of people bring in brand new bows for quick cash and then can't pay back the money and then their bows are sold for half the cost of what they should be. Finders keepers! Good luck and God bless.

@johnkertzman3223 6 лет назад

Back in the late 80's and early 90's I used to hunt with a Hoyt bow set at 85lbs we had to shoot that weight to get any kind of speed for long range shots (50-60 yards). But with the technology of todays bows and the development of carbon arrows thier is no need to shot anything over 65lbs. Unless you are hunting the bears of Alaska or African dangerous game todays bows deliver more than enogh energy to kill anything in the lower 48.

@ericbauer4897 3 года назад

Good video, great info. Mine came factory set to 51#, was thinking of cranking it down, but I'll leave it be. And I've been having a blast target shooting with my new bow, I still suck very much, but I'll get there. You never did mention what shop you work in, LAS perhaps? Just got some arrows from them today, ordered online though. Thanks for the info!!! :)
