These video's are so helpful when it comes to learning new bows. Changing strings and tuning different bows can be challenging since finding the correct way online is almost impossible. Finding one source or video with all the details on this is priceless, it saves some much time searching every forum or RU-vid. Thanks again
Step 1: go to the draw board and measure exactly the draw lenght. Step 2: go to the press, replace ONLY one cable and its yoke. Step 3: go to the draw board and synch the cams adjusting the lenght of the new cable you have just installed. Step 4: go to the press and replace the other cable and its yoke. Step 5: go to the draw board and synch the cams adjusting the lenght of the last cable you have installed. Step 6: go to the press and replace the string. Step 7: go to the draw board and measure the draw lenght, adjust it until it is the same exact lenght as you measured in the beginning. Done: no more adjusting required, you can install accessories, D loop and go tuning. This is how I replace strings at home, best method I've found.
I absolutely love the more in depth videos over the fast forward how to bow set up videos. I’m pretty stoked to watch the cam tuning videos coming up and would love seeing some more in depth string,sights,cam,arrow videos!!!
Really good information. The little pro tips that seem minute are really helpful. I can't wait for the tuning videos! It would be helpful to know how much paper tear correction you get from each tophat in the kit. I'm really glad you are doing these videos! Nothing beats learning from a pro!
Thanks for your video I just got a phase 4 33 so I was glad to see how the strings were changed looking forward to seeing how the timing video is keep doing the videos
Great video, breaks it down to not be so tedious and gives some good pointers along the way, definitely makes me feel a lot more comfortable to change mine myself instead of having to go to the shop, wouldn’t get this level of content anywhere else, excited for the next segment of this
I wanna say thank you! This really gave me the courage to dive in and start learning how to work on my own bow. I bought a press last week (from you of course) and today I just finished my first string and cable replacement on my new V3X. It look me a bit, but this video helped a ton! Got it all timed, and I'm gonna build a paper tuner tomorrow and hopefully be sighting it in tomorrow afternoon. Really awesome!!
These are great for the diy guy that isn’t close to a shop, so they can do their own work. I like that you reference the timing holes. I for one am not familiar with all makes of bows and where the timing holes or reference marks are on a cam. That helps a lot with synchronization and timing, thanks!
Great video a lot of quality information that most pro shops won't tell you I appreciate that. Not sure if grating better focus on things such as the cams is possible but may help some folks. You have a wealth of knowledge and glad you are willing to share. Keep laying the content down. May God bless you
Even though I don’t own this bow, super helpful for the process. If I ever did buy a bow like this, awesome reference to go by! Feedback like you requested. 1. Better lighting would help a ton. 2. Better shots of the cams and posts. Maybe add some still shots while editing. Thanks a bunch MFJJ! Maybe the Bowtech Solution SS next? 😉
Where's Tim??? He's got camera skills! Just kidding. Setting up to do our own bow/arrow work at home. Great seeing "how to" videos and hearing "tips". Looking forward to seeing more videos. Thanks for answering emails.
That was an easy to follow. Only thing I would say is work on getting the bow completely in the frame, and making sure the focus is locked. Other than that, looking forward to seeing more of the tinker/"bow building basics" always good even for people that already do it.
This is great and well received by us DIY people that are learning to do this. I would vote for a video of how to shim a cam (not mathews) and the process involved. Very little on RU-vid with this subject.
Really appreciate your sharing this kind of thing. The little things that might go unnoticed like inserting the cable ends through the yoke plastic piece from the underside. Something that might be done wrong by the inexperienced. Looking forward to the future vids. Even simple (yeah right) things like peep/d loop alignment done by a "master" would be appreciated. Thanks Josh.
Found this a really good overview & to be honest feel comfortable doing it. Would also be good to see the same procedure done on bows other than Mathews. When it comes to tuning I would also like to see how to tune some of the different types of rests (eg cable drop away as opposed to limb activated).
Lots of good information in the installation process. Looking forward to other brand installs. Keep up the great work. Maybe a couple splices of close ups of cams and string routing around the cams would be helpful in future videos.
Man you didn't choose an easy topic to du a solo video! It was really nice. The top ca was awsome. You forgot to edit when you pulled off bolts and bits to yrhow in the magnet tray of the first cam removal. 😊 man it was really cool! Liked it alot! Keep up the good stuff man! 👌👍👊
Plus one on the magnet tray. I put two on top of my press. One holds my Allen wrenches, razor blade and a spare axle I use to push the axle out. The other I put my parts into.
Great video!!!! Nothing against my home town bow dude. But I just feel sometimes they are trying to get you good enough and out the door. I have purchased my own bow press and need to set up shop and start doing my own tuning
Thanks for the video. Not too bad, can follow what you’re doing easy. Fix your angles a little and you’re good. I like “common sense” and you got it !! Put more vids out.
Great video! Definitely want to see a video on top hat tuning and timing the newer Mathew’s bows. Also, how many twists and what direction to get the cables to lineup in the hole? Also would like to see a string change and toming vid on bowtech ss34! Thanks man!
It would be nice to see you do some videos on tuning target bows. I know a majority are hunters on the channel but a lot of us do both and i think a lot can be learned from both categories to make a more well rounded shooter
Thanks for the excellent video. If you could add something in how to deal with peep twists and rotation issues to your project list it would be greatly appreciated.
Love the content mate! I’m just getting into archery so absorbing everything like a sponge! Forgive my ignorance but I’m curious as to why you change the strings on a new bow? Is it a quality thing or something along those lines or is there a performance factor that comes into it? Keep the vids coming, you are entertaining to watch and love that you freely share helpful information based on experience!!
How about a video with some different ways to tune a phase 4/ V3x now. This was a great help in learning to change my own strings, but now I'm ready for the next step.
I had a set of Gas strings put on my V3X and I swear it now has a twang when the shot goes off and I can not remember ever having that before with the stock strings.
First time I did mine I did not check my pictures to see if they were in focus so when it comes to reinstalling strings, I had three blurry pictures that were useless. Take the time to check your photos to make sure they are clear.
Great video as always. Not sure if its the lens on the camera that doesnt seem to focus to well on the close up shots or the lighting. May some still frames for the important close ups ?
Nice job very informative definitely needed for those of us learning to work on our own equipment only issue I saw is a couple things did not focus in like for example cable on the cam peg. One thing you could do here is add a few pictures of the important stuff like that to the end of each video. Just a suggestion not something that’s absolutely necessary.
I just put a set of Gas strings on my Granite V3X 29. In flo orange wt gun metal servings. And the Total peep tech grip for mathews. The best grip on the market for mathews bows.
Some of the close ups were blurred, but you will get there. Good info and keep up the good work and slow down just abit. I get it, time is money it seems and we do have a pause function available.
Think might be a better perspective from your View, so we see what you are seeing.....maybe not but it's a thought but I understand that its kind of a hard shot to get and stay out of the line of sight. Great Video
Great video! I'm curious if the ATA was correct with these strings. I had a set of Gas installed on my phase 4 33, and they were too long resulting in an ATA of 1/8" over spec. They has to add twists to the cables, and string to get the ATA back in spec. Maybe the shop just ordered their sets too long.
