Ok I am shooting traditional style at 45 pounds. Does this mean I would
pick a 270 grain arrow? All the archery shops around here know nothing
about traditional its all compound for them.
Great question! You really need to tune your bow with a bare shaft if your
shooting off the shelf. Using a 270 arrow is a bit light try a 350-400
range arrow. I would recommend the tune to get the right weight for your
bow.
Forgive my ignorance. Does making the fletching left or right really make
that much of a difference? does it hit the rest if I make them that way or
does it go into effect while in flight?
@JesusDillinger Because in a recurve or a long bow to stiff or a to weak of
an arrow effects arrow flight. The draw length and the weight of the draw
will help determine the arrow spine. To select the proper arrow for the bow
you have to shoot different arrow spines to get the best flight and
trajectory off of the bow.
When you were talking about weight of an arrow ,does this include the broad
head weight also? Or 45 lbs draw X 6 = 270 + broadhead 100 grains total
weight 370 ?? Please explain and thanks
Are you shooting a recurve or compound bow? Compound bow would be total
weight including broadhead. Recurve bow would be more about the deflection
of the spine. You may have to go a little heavier or little lighter
This has always had me wondering. I still shoot aluminum 2217 arrows, 60
lbs 29 inch draw. My friends call them logs when looking at a carbon. I
have an older 50 percent letoff compound and want all the kinetic energy I
can get vs speed
Hi, I’m new in bowhunting. I would like to hunt wild boars.I have aHoyt
Vector 32 at 80lbs draw weight and using Easton Powerflight 300 9.5gpi. and
using 125grain broadheads. Is this the right set up or do i need to change?
Please, i need your help.

@josephrobinson1976 then you shouldnt worry about it as you dont really
care about the compound that were designed for them
@MarsTalionis No it doesn’t matter. It only goes in effect when the arrow
is in flight.
a big important factor left out is to match spine to the bow befor anything
else the proper spine will make it easier to tune a bow
I’m thinking of buying a long bow. Folks say the stiffness of the arrow
should be right. Why not just use the stiffest arrows?

These are some excellent video’s. Thank you.
@meatmisslechunking Thank you for the compliment!
Thanks can u do a video of bare shaft tuning for compound bows now days Ppl
just don’t tune it’s crazy !!!
@ripfletching Thanks for the idea this week we will be doing the pros and
cons of bare shaft tuning your compound bow.
@ripfletching The video you wanted to see has been posted for this weeks

It depends, you can have your arrow come to just in front of your rest, i
prefer the arrow to come about an inch off the front of the riser.
im shooting carbon express and they kick ass
