I don't treestand hunt so I've never minded a longer ATA bow. I feel like I should have bought an Energy 35 years ago...I'm not a huge fan of most of the current bows on the market today.

@@scotteger6271 is that due to the short length of most bows

@@jw-vx8im yes and no...the shorter ATA is definitely one of the reasons but my complaint with most current bows is the pursuit of being the fastest bow on the market. Aggressive cams and crazy short brace heights make most new bows so unpleasant to draw and shoot for any length of time. I actually did seek out and bought a lightly used Energy 32...wasn't the 35 that I wanted but it's still smooth to draw and not aggressive. Still gets the arrows to the target in a hurry and my accuracy with it is excellent.

@@scotteger6271 I shoot trad but going to get a compound so checking what's a good setup

@@jw-vx8im bows are a very user specific thing...you'll have to try some different brands and see what you like. I started with Hoyt because a good friend only shot Hoyt and I knew nothing...didn't like it and eventually tried other things. I tend to like the slightly older Mathews bows (Halon, no cams, etc) versus the new speed bows. Elite has always felt good to me as well as most of their bows focus on smooth draw rather than being the fastest on the market. Hope you find something you like.

This is what he says about 95% of bows though 😉

I’m sorry, but that’s just not true. Paper tuning is relevant to every archery discipline known to man. Walk back, torque tuning, paper tuning, bare shaft etc. are all critical parts of getting the most out of your bow and arrow whether you shoot indoor target, 3D, or for bowhunting. Yes, you can shoot a perfect score with a bow that shoots nock high or left or whatever, as long as it does the same thing every time. However, a bullet hole tuned bow is going to be far more efficient and effective than one tearing 8 inches of paper because your arrow will fly straight off the bow and thus fly faster with less drag, fly a flatter and more predictable trajectory because of that, and increase your consistency. The amount of people shooting 900’s at Vegas is astronomical compared to what it would have been in the past with bows you couldn’t paper tune. Every single one of those archers are tuning for a bullet hole and likely bare shaft. I doubt the thousands of people shooting at Vegas every year would waste their time tuning if “it didn’t matter because you can shoot a perfect score without it”. That’s like saying you can drive a car with the alignment out by any amount, so who cares if you can adjust it.

@@2ndAveScents I agree. Saying it's ok to have your arrows dancing in flight is bad practice. In gap situations the arrow will be inaccurate.

It’s a never ending loop chasing accuracy through cam alignment eventually you’ll tune it back around to a bullet hole :) Everyone should buy a cheap Chinese bow like the the sub-400 topoints and junxing’s. It will show you modern compound bows are insanely accurate. Even cheap ones. Then check difference between the Chinese bow and your performance bow. That’s the difference equipment makes - everything else is you.

I felt the same

Same. Keep your head up.

It will be fine. All depends what you pay. The Junxing Phoenix $250 is cheap and it is fine for the price.

@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale I ordered the M122 Caesar, Gordon limbs and machine cams package with sight,thumb release arrows whisker biscuit and a bow stand for 376 us dollars with the delivery fee included M122 alone is around 240 dollars its advertised as one of the better ones but im not sure nways I'm a beginner do I guess it's a cheap way for me to start on the sport again really appreciate your videos

@@ahmedalkahtib7613 the draw cycle isn't the best, it will try to rip your shoulder out on let down. Balance of bow isn't great either, but was an ok beginner bow. Enjoy!

@@judefuselier thanks man any feed back is appreciated

@@judefuselier my m125 is pretty easy to let down (there’s a noticeable umph as hit the top of the valley and it just kinda sits in my hand after the shot, I’m kinda shocked but I think it’s not a bad bow lol

@Butt of Lewis I know what you mean, I prefer black and purple, but I'm not a colour tart, so mine is red and silver. Problem is that I have a 23" left hand riser.

Offer them 250 and you should do it. Is it in good shape.?

@@wcwcgarner2717 I ended up passing on it. It did look really good but as I looked I noticed the clip on left side of the top axle was missing and I asked the guy about it and he's like I dunno what your talking about it's worth so much more blah blah and im like you don't know what the circlip on the axle is? And don't understand? I told em sorry but I dunno if the axles broken or will hold a ring or what the deal Is why it is missing? and if you don't understand the basic stuff im saying I can't trust this thing is anything useful... I told him he should relist it as parts since it's not a safe entire functioning bow..Get a clip on there before you sell it and put A cam through someone's skull or arm.

@@softsmoken wow. Way to be smart. Good thinking.

@@wcwcgarner2717 Its for an indoor build, ended up with getting a new w&w arion x 39...299. Just finished building it cbe vertek sight, shrewd optum scope, hamskea trinity target rest

@@softsmoken sweet set up enjoy. I just built a 2020 model Bear paradox. 32inches axle to axle. Ibo is 330 fps. Qad drop away. Trophy ridge REACT h 5 sight. Trophy ridge hitman front stabilizer a Apex side mount to another Trophy ridge hitman stabilizer. Enjoy your bow.

True imagine if they had put Flo green strings on it :)

Its got 2 burger holes and you can move the cables. Looks better than Johns

Price though? String quality?

I think it is the same 3 turns 8#

The ritual is a fantastic bow, you’re not missing out at all

@@russellpickett2689 i really like the ritual so far, but the 34" ATA bow elite brought out this year is perfect on paper for the specs I wanted.

Back in the day of the XForce we could not get the left tear out. But Eric Griggs won a heap of shoots with it. Lots of people hunted with that bow.

Do you really think we dont Hunt ?? LOL We have lots of feral animals to hunt, But what you might not understand is we have a Population of 27 million people , their are 3 million registered firearms so around 1.5 million licenced shooters, so you can imagine the numbers of Bow Hunters we have. And America is about 25% bigger than Australia . so we have lots of room .. :-)

@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale were you able to group broad heads and field points or did they just sight in for broad heads? I’m relatively new to archery only been shooting a few years so I’m not familiar with that bow. Love the videos by the way I always recommend the pse stinger to new people based on your videos.

@@travistwwreck1535 no I really had no idea, no disrespect intended but I No in some places you actually legally are not able to hunt so I have no idea if I Australia’s like that or not I would hope that it wouldn’t be.

@@jimk2762 We have restrictions on firearms, no auto or semi auto rifles,No military weapons very hard to get a hand gun, most states crossbows are illegal , but Bows are fine, I prefer a Bow hunting over Guns.

I have one on the way..can't wait to get it I've heard a lot of good things about the Ritual 35s..

Best bow I’ve ever owned and shot and I’ve shot em all almost 👌
