JOHN DUDLEY'S HUNTING BOW & ARROW SETUPS 

John, as an old bow hunter I would say “ ride it while you can “. During my best years there wasn’t the awesome equipment of even the last 10 years. The last five years we have the best archery equipment EVER. I am disgusted that I now have to shoot 60#’s or less. My skill level is only like 280 of 300 on a 40 yard max 3-d course. I shoot some arrows at least 5 days a week. Some days 10 shots some 30 to 40. At 72 years old this 2023 season may be my last, who fricking knows. You are on the ride of a lifetime which I’m so glad for you. Young and strong but it will be gone. The information you pass along is so valuable to thousands of archers because it’s facts you present from years of getting it done. I personally applaud your hard work to have gotten to this point in your life. 👍👍

You're a true inspiration John Dudley

Dud ur lookin swoll brother! Killer bows man!

Yeah buddy. Whitetail season has been a go here in MN. Kind of sucks rifle started but a well. Just got to be a little more careful

Thanks!

Just ordered the Levitate yesterday.

How do you go about finding the ideal arrow length when adding weight up front?

Is that light bow much better for your shoulder? I would think that alone would be a game changer

I have the exact same setup 🤘

Hi, does fletching colors are important? Are they some colors see by our prey?

What kind of kickstand are you using John?

Whats you thoughts on the 75gr stainless halfouts? Im shooting the 260 axis with 125gr head and they drop like crazy. Probably best to use them for tree stand hunting only and find something flatter for elk.

Hey Dud does your arrow wind up being around 29-30” since you have that condor wing span? 😂 I have been experimenting with the 5mm for a bit, but seems you wind up on the weaker side of spine in comparison to others. Thank you for all the vids especially the bow build/tune/repair ones you done over the years!

I just built my first set of arrows. I need 31" ish arrows so it was a hard time making a light arrow with good FOC. 31" Sonic 6.0 300 spine, 50gr brass insert, 125grain point, 3 AAE Max Stealth vanes. Ended up 483gr roughly with 12.5-13 FOC I think. Only shoot a 60lb bow right now.

Does anyone know how to setup a tradional bow so that i dont hyperextend my arm to try and get the full draw back? I have mine just slightly off so that i need a couple more inches in order to get a full draw back to the back of my mouth. If i try to pull all the way to the back of my mouth than my arm has to be hyperextended in order to get the power i need to hit a shot.

What spine FMJ did he shoot when he went up in poundage? Did he stick with 300 with FMJ at 80lb anyone know?

What brand and model arrow is he shooting?

Any info on the stabilizer?

I so bad want one of these bows. I live in Tasmania, I don’t think anyone has seen or used one here.

Im a big guy im 6.2

29inch, 500gr axis 12% foc, 302fps. people with slow bows, 420gr at 280fps tell me to go light im shooting to slow since my arrow is heavy to them. foc i found recently new arrow build, same weight but 6% higher foc, need 55m tape marking to hit 50m. why such a drop on target, equal weight doesnt seem to impact the same with foc change

Mr Dudley, now that you shoot the best bow, please try shooting the best broadhead, Ramcat 125gr.

Why in the hell does it have to cost $1900 ,I need lottery money for that bow

John Dudley is the greatest bowhunter that ever lived.

No point in shooting 80 pounds. People get pass through on bison with 50 pounds but some dudes think compensate shooting as much as they can tell their friends about.
