bow of choice Prime Nexus 2 80lbs Draw length is 28.5 inches shooting the Sirius Vulcan 200 spine arrows at 32 inches carbon to carbon length arrow weight is at 557.5 grains before I drop a 125 grain field point in jumping up to 682 grains the foc on the arrow as it sits is 17 percent .
What a fantastic gift 🎁 for a great guy that has helped you a ton at Elk Shape camps and with the Elk Collective Online Course. Light and fast with plenty of FOC. Didn’t mention the broadhead of choice but that is up to Dirk. I have a fletching jig but I don’t believe that it does much of a helical. Should have checked before ordering off GoHunt. Thought about going Single bevel, but to keep cost down I probably will just stick with my 100 grain G5 Montec CS and M3s.
Victory arrows are absolute beasts. I had one ping off the post of a chain link fence and stick in a tree and it’s still going strong. The stainless field tip was bent, but the shaft is still 100 percent. I shoot Scheels Vendetta and Vendetta Pro in 300 and 350. The one that went off the post was a 350. (They’re made by Victory). Even had a couple bounce off rocks from misses and not a single splinter.
Dan, you should do a quick rundown of all of the tools you’re using to build bullets. You have somewhat done this in the past, but a guy updates his gear. Saw, glue, inserts, nocks etc. be a good vid for everyone to Have all the arrow building gear in a one stop video.
I can see some MFJJ arrow wraps and vanes coming soon. That would be cool to shoot at TAC this year. If you have any ideas of building some let me know first. I'll be the first to order those. MFJJ seems like a solid dude and it's refreshing to watch somebody going the opposite way of some other RU-vid personalities. Heavier arrows are not all that they are cracked up to be. They have their place I'm sure, just not in my quiver. Nothing over 430 grains for me. I like my high foc and the smaller gaps in my sight tapes. Keep up the great content gentleman and wish you all the best in this upcoming season.
This was cool to watch. In the future, do you think you'd be able to go more in depth about what all these different specs mean, how they effect the shot, and what to consider when putting arrows together for ourselves? Bit of a novice here, but I'm loving all these videos!
I've been adding MF to the beginning of peeps names for years. A classic old school way to ramp up the exploits of those you love and can't do without. MFJJ! Wazzuupp?!?!? Side note. When fetching arrows for a newb I call it the "penis" vane. The looks I get are priceless. Cheers, crew.
Good day. Just wondering what the setup is?? I’m looking at these arrows to build a fast good Foc arrow just not sure what spine I need I shoot a Mathews v3 31 75# mods 28.5” draw and I have plenty of 100 gr broadheads so not keen on getting different broadheads. TIA. Love the channel
I would like to know what fletching jig was used for the helical it put on the arrow you built and a question, how does that much helical affect the drag or energy of the arrow.
540 grain xImpact black eagle 31 inch draw and arrow, 4 flech heat vanes 3 per helical. I wouldn't go below 460 grain unless I was hunting Jack rabbits. People kill elk with light arrows but they are way above average shooters. Normal hunters should stay on the heavy side, I've seen to many wounded animals otherwise. The bugler is a hoot.
I shoot extortions. So strong they are rediculous. Pretty heavy though but i shoot 580grain. Im shooting v3 31 at 31 and 75pnd. Most of my shots are under 40.
That spine mark is NOT accurate! They apparently just randomly throw that mark on there. If you spine test or knock tune em you will see that line is a lie. Anyway, that's splitting hairs...go on😁
Take a bareshaft, make a mark with a sharpie, take a shot at a close by target (less than 8’) and see what direction your arrow spin. Than fletch left if your arrows spin left😁
Almost every string builder makes clockwise twisted strings, which seems to consistently rotate left. First String and a few others twist counter clockwise and their strings seem to all clock right. That said, it really doesn't matter, your fletching will take over in a few feet of the bow anyway.
@@2ndAveScents you bareshaft with a field point. It will fly very similar to how an arrow with a fixed blade broadhead. If you can get a bareshaft to fly right, you should be able to get ANY fixed blade broadhead to follow suit.
I used the Ranch Fairy method, after tuning my bow through paper in my local shop to get it square. My bow is a Bowtech Rpm 360, 29” Draw, 70#’s. I’m running a 100 grain insert, 150 grain point, 4 fletch helical Rayzr Feathers, 6” wrap and deepower lighted nock on a Day Six 300 cut at 28 3/4. 625 grain overall weight. The arrow is bareshafted and nock tuned to 20 yards. I’ve also shot a 150 grain Iron Will Wide Solid and a 190 grain Simmons Treeshark (2 1/16” wide 2 blade fixed head) out to 30. Both group with field points. Basically, if your bow is square and your form is correct, you can tune your bow/arrow setup to shoot any Broadhead to fly with field points. Weight matters, so tinker until you get your sweet spot. Your results will show how particular you were in the tuning process.
And to answer your question, “need” is a matter of perspective. Do you “need” it on a calm day, inside shooting spots, or outdoors in an open range? Probably not. Do you need it when your form is crappy because of buck fever, and the wind is heavy, the angle is odd? You can never have too many plan b type safety nets that help your arrow recover in case of something going wrong.
