At a first look, the UV3 looks like more of an indoor designed scope. I know they are really built for all around hunting, outdoor, and indoor archery. But look at the length of the scope compared to more traditional outdoor scopes. Sun will glare really bad on some shots even with long shades on them. The UV3 is a lot shorter so I could only imagine the problems associated with that. I also think that it’s super innovative for those wanting a simple one-piece design. It’s PERFECT for that! Looks sick. Designed and redesigned really well, I just think that outdoor won’t require as much light from a built in light, also the glare would be a killer for outdoor shooters.
I know this is an old video but I really like to rewatch these OG vids, would really like to see this style with the new bows lift vs title let's goo!!!
Could you please explain to me what you mean at 16:16 when you say your hunting bow is not set up for targets, I am new to the bow hunting, and don't quite understand why it whould be set up differently. Isn't the goal to get a grouping of a quarter? Doesn't matter if they are different styles of bow. I know you whoud't read my comments, but if anyone is reading please if you could explain to me what Chris Bee ment when he said this. Whould really be amazing.
Probably, as long as the arrows are spined correctly for the v3. Only difference poundage makes is speed and feel. Target bows dont need to be anywhere near as fast, especially because most people hold better with higher letoff, not higher draw weight.
Do the hunting/target 3D setup challenge! I’ve always shot hunter and recently got a 34 so I could do different asa class and still have a hunting bow.
Yeah I like your videos and been watching a while. But I'm not sure that I'm ready for the commitment of a subscription yet. I am considering it though.
Very nice and informative video. Two things struck me: (1) it seemed the hunting bow got shot with different arrows than the target bow and (2) this may have been a camera angle thing, but it seemed the arrows did not hit the target in line with the assumed flight path, but slightly sideways and tail down. Am I right with these observations and if so, could there have been an impact to the precision? Another question to me was, if having a better sight on the hunting bow could benefit precision more? Not shooting an X is not painful, but missing the clean and quick kill zone would be - or why a simpler sight on the hunting bow?
The number of deer that have been saved by that short bow is probably really high versus the advantages of the longer bow. I see it all the time with hunters practicing with those little bows.
Your draw weights were very different though. Did you use the same exact arrows with both bows, or did they both have their own arrows? If you used one set of arrows for both bows this was a very bad comparison and would not be accurate. The spine would effect this a great deal considering one bow was set at not even 60 lbs, and the other was at 75 lbs. That makes a considerable difference with a fifty yard shot. 20 yards wouldn't be much difference, but fifty yards in rain would be a large difference. I have a PSE Drive-R set at 65 lbs and my arrows are Blackeagle carnivore tuned wonderfully to the bow. It's a short heavy hunting bow and I can do 3-5 inch patterns at fifty yards all day with a wrist release. And I'm no competitor by any means.
I could be wrong but I think the string above the peep is the factory divider that marks the true center of the string, and he keeps it in in case he has to change peeps. I've seen other people do it for that reason, anyway.
Can have the most expensive accessories. Doesn't mean you'll be the greatest. Saw a guy at the local bow shop a few weeks ago put a new Garmin GPS rangefinding sight on his bow and hit about 4 feet above the target at 20 yards. I have a cheaper single pin sight and a qad rest and shoot a cheap thumb release because I can't afford a better one and can group about a golf ball in the same 20 yards.
How about a target bow set up as a hunting bow vs a hunting bow set up as a target bow? Or head to head hunting bow set up exactly the same as your target bow head vs head same setups different bows. Now that would be something even this old guy could watch beginning to end. Same sights, rest ,arrows, release. Strings, peep. Everything.
Thanks for always keeping you videos clean, and no profanity, that’s why I’ll always watch you, means a lot to a Christian bow hunter. Happy Easter Chris
i personally think it more so has to do with what you practice with more, the other day i shot a 2021 hoyt Ventum 33 set up for 18 meter indoor and i literally could not hit the targets, yet with my 2004 hoyt ultrasport hunting setup, i was hitting in the yellow consistently. To me that just goes to show that the equipment you use is only as good as the shooter.
So that's my next question. Thanks for this video, by the way. Would you ever take a target bow into the woods hunting? What if you don't want to spend all that money to buy two bow setups? Right now, I'm thinking about buying one bow to shoot both: league and to take hunting.
Hunting bows and target bows are definitely different. Does that mean you can’t shoot targets with a hunting bow? No. Does that mean you can’t hunt with a target bow? No. They are just optimized for their purposes.
Great comparison! Did exactly the same test (but used the same arrows/scope/stabs/weights/poundage on both bows, letoff 60% on both) with my Reckoning 38 vs my RevoltX 33 yesterday. Shooting 1 Vegas 300 round with each. Results: Reckoning 38: 298 21X RevoltX 33: 298 20X I think You actually can compete with both as pure target bows without hesitation. The 33 might even be better for Outdoors due to less wind drift and faster arrows :-) I will do the same test outdoors scoring a 50m WA 72 round soon. Will be interesting!
Deff do a 3D shoot off between the hunting bow and the target bow and I am a sub love the videos keep it up I have 3 favorite youtubers and that’s Chris bee elk shape and hushin
