Looks like he stopped uploading. But the only good advice you can trust from a KZfaq comment is to stay away from complicated, and don't stop tinkering. Carbon/alu shafts, "extra FOC", or just about anything else unique is probably more of a gimmick or gag than anything useful. FMJ arrows bend easily, you can find brass and steel inserts cheap and they're universal, and there's plenty of heavy carbon shafts out there. Don't buy one manufacturer's hype. If it's bright and shiny, trying to grab your attention, it's probably crap. If it's subdued, and just says "it's straight, durable, and gets the job done" you'll probably be happier with it. Generalization, here. I have $9 arrows from Cabela's that fucking rock, but aren't terribly durable. I have $25 arrows I built that are tough, but it's costly and time consuming to fine tune the recipe. Insert/outsert combos are very tough, but cost more and may not meet all of your needs. Standard inserts can leave your shaft vulnerable, possibly costing more in the long run. Prioritize what you want based on what, where, and how often you shoot, and don't be afraid to experiment. Worst case scenario you don't like the combo and have to buy more, but you learned something from it.

Thank you so much! And of course, my job is to provide what you want to see. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to improve the videos, I'm always trying to make them better!

Samuel White I would love to see you review the gold tip hunter xt! Just because it’s the arrows I shoot and would like some more info on them

Thank you so much, that means a lot! That's exactly what I'm trying to do and I'm glad I could provide you with some value. Again, I really appreciate it.

HAHAHA!

And the other 3 are from alt accounts

Thanks Ian, that means a lot! I'm glad I could provide you with some value.

Thanks Paul, that means a lot!

Me neither, I'm pumped to let you guys know what I found! Thanks for watching

Thanks Doug, I really appreciate it!

Thank you so much Yvan, I appreciate your kind words! I'm going to keep at it, and we'll see where it goes.

There are actually websites where he can get paid to give his opinion on certain products.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, I'm glad to help!

Thanks you so much Geoff! You're completely right, once you take a look at the average quality numbers by brand, you can clearly see how they differentiate in manufacturing processes, as well as quality control. I really appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching! Here's the full board of arrows and their rankings so you don't have to pause it on the video: www.strongshotarchery.com/arrowreviewboard

Perfect! Let me know if there is anything else that could make the videos better, I'm always trying to improve. Thanks for watching!

It would be awesome to meet you. Thank you so much Chase, I appreciate the support!

I really appreciate it John! Thank's for supporting the reviews on the GoFundMe

@@SamuelWhiteArchery I like the way you provide useful information in your reviews. I don't know of any other arrow review that has compared arrows this way.

Thank you again for your kind words, it means a lot. You're exactly right, these things take so long to put together, haha! I've been asking past users of the Mossy Oaks about durability, and 1 guy has had some issues with carbon splinters (a few arrows over time), and the other guy has had no issues at all. I'd love to do some stress tests in the future, but that's not in the budget for now. In regard to your comment on one of my other videos, I'm in the works on some similar style broadhead reviews like you said. Prepare for your mind to be blown some more, lol! Thanks again for all of your support.

Samuel White awe yeah! Can’t wait!

@@TheBudgetSportsman Let's definitely connect! I'll put my email here and we can talk further. SamuelWhiteArchery@gmail.com

Thank you so much! No, I haven't been able to do the SR6 yet, but I have done a review on the SS. I'll put that link here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8qUmdaLx7jdhps.html

@@SamuelWhiteArchery great thank you. I'll check it out

Well dang! That's impressive, what draw weight were you shooting?

@@SamuelWhiteArchery PSE Brute X 70 lb, 100 gr G5 Montec, 28" Mossy Oak from Wally World

When I checked those Bone Collector arrows out at Walmart, they definitely didn't look like Victorys. The nocks were kind of strange looking. I'll see if I can get my hands on them sometime in the future. Thanks for watching John!

@@SamuelWhiteArchery I have a set of 6 I'll send you. But I have shot 3 of the 6 arrows maybe 10 times. Let me know.

He did those in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pr5yoNuJuKmvZH0.html

I'll definitely take a look at getting my hands on those! Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.

I was extremely surprised by their incredible performance! Is the durability good with them?

@@SamuelWhiteArchery The ones I had werent bad at all. I've had a few that developed splinters but you could have that with any arrow imo.

How long did it take for a few to splinter?Nonetheless, that's not bad at all for the price!

@@SamuelWhiteArchery some would be after 10 shots and some would last months. The quality control of them is the only major downfall I've found in them. And I've bought several from different batches over the years and they all have surprised me. I'm happy with my "mossy oak" arrows

@@joshuascott7935 Even with the quality control issues, they're so cheap that you could replace them no problem. That does suck that they could go bad in 10 shots though. Anyways, thanks for watching Joshua, I really appreciate it!

Hey Justin! What do you mean? I'm assuming you're meaning how there were a few bumps while I was spinning the arrows. I wasn't actually measuring the arrows when I was filming. I was a LOT more consistent when I was measuring for results. I didn't put too much attention to it when I was filming. Thanks for watching the videos and for the great feedback!

@@SamuelWhiteArchery Ah! That makes more sense. An interesting comparison for you might be finding off brand arrows like the korean made cartel triple neo arrows (A/C/E like arrow) or if you really want to try something interesting try and get your hands on the Chinese made Bee arrows. They are an amazing answer to the x10's and they shoot just as good as them for less than half the price of just the x10 shafts. I will be getting some myself from a friend who's gone over to china for a little while.

​@@SamuelWhiteArchery Let me see if I can finally get this reply out for the 6th time haha. I kept having to go do something else and forgetting to save the comment before closing so here goes. You are doing a bang up job in that case. I love the work you're putting into this and have seen the wall mart arrows vid too. 10/10 Stuff you have going. Thanks for clearing up how you are measuring it. I think something you might really get a kick out of is trying "copycat arrows" I've been shooting some arrows called cartel triple's (Now called cartel triple Neo) They are A/C/E knock offs. There are also another more seriously impressive arrows called bee arrows from china. They might be a lot harder to get a hold of unless you can find someone in china that can get them for you. They are a competitor to x10's but less than half the price of x10's and shoot just as good. I'm getting some myself soon. Also as a side note if you ever get a hooter shooter then you should run your tests again with it and see what changes when you take the human element out of it. P.s. Sorry for the wall of text

From what I've heard, aluminum arrows often bend over time, and carbon arrows will have spine degradation over time as well. I'm doing long-term tests on this now, so I don't have any results yet. I'll likely do a video on this in the future! Thanks for watching Tanner.

I'm just now running across these reviews and the Red's are currently what I shoot. I would like to see that as well.

I personally love the cheap walmart arrows. And it doesnt sting as bad on the wallet when you break them or fuck them up

I'll see what I can do. DANG, those T64 FMJ's are expensive!!! Haha, thanks for watching

Joshua Scott I love them too but I really want to see if there’s anything decent about the cheaper small shaft stuff for the better flight and penetration they can offer

Samuel White it’s crazy stuff man! But so far you’re the only person I’ve ever found doing this kind of thing Is it possible to get those mossy oaks as bare shafts? I kinda wanna pick up some to build up and use to put in my own inserts and knocks

@@MyLonewolf25 They are re-branded Victory Vforce V6 Sport, you can get them as shafts. $59.63 for a dozen on Amazon

That's a really good point, most of the time it's the stock products of the manufacturer. In this case, it's Victory nocks, but in other cases it could be Easton or Gold Tip nocks. Thanks for watching!

Samuel White I bought a half dozen mossy oak last fall. They really did shoot nice but there wasn’t a lot of penetration shooting my halon at 70 pounds. And had a few insert issues. Other than that no complaints. Good arrow for target shooting. Bone collector has a pretty solid arrow and they are a bit thinner than others.

I'll see if I can get my hands on them at some point, thanks for watching!

Just subbed to your channel, keep at it man!

That would be great! I recently got my hands on some VAP TKO V1's, so that would make an awesome test. I really want to see the true difference between the v3 and the v1. Shoot me a dm on discord and we can figure it out.

@@SamuelWhiteArchery I will send you DM on Instagram, don't remember my password on Discord :(

Thank you! Hopefully I'll review some good quality options that are available in Europe at some point. I agree, Victory really seems to consistently provide quality no matter the type or price. It's pretty dang impressive. Thanks for watching!

Dang, really? I'll definitely have to check them out. Where could I get them?

@@SamuelWhiteArchery They are a new company out of California. They make hunting and competition arrows. I have the AK's (heavy hunting arrow) they are great. I'd love to try their MT (their new .204 heavy hunting arrow) I think they are mostly online until they get more retailers. www.arrowtecharchery.com/

I've definitely been looking into that! Those would step up the reviews to a whole other level. Thanks for watching!

Maybe you could calculate the FOC of the arrows? I know the tips you chose effect this but it’s just a thought.

it would be difficult to say immediately that one arrow would perform better than others given the biggest actors of penetration are the broadhead, arrow weight, and momentum values derived from weight.

@@LimbDrivenTV but arrow weight and momentum are characteristics of the arrow itself. If the head was kept the same through all tests, the test data would be relevant. Though I'm not sure it's really needed, because as you say penetration is largely a factor of of easily measurable data. You don't need to set up an actual test, just weight the shaft.

@@brentmitchell6411 The issue is that not all arrow weight is equal. The distribution of weight will be a factor in how the arrow performs. One arrow with higher FOC will out penetrate and arrow of identical characteristics but lower FOC. Depending on how you build your arrow, what tip weight, and how much brass you use in the insert will change your FOC values and may favor having a lighter GPI shaft. The Ashby studies break down how an arrow reacts on impact and why FOC makes a difference in penetration.

Sam, email me at hcbstrings@gmail.com

@@hcbstrings9257 Just sent!

I'm measuring on the nock end of the shaft, not the actual nock. I hope that makes sense. But you're completely right, if I was measuring on the nock, my results would be total bogus, haha! Thanks for watching.

That's strange, maybe they don't hold them in your area. They're on the website for me.

Did you ever happen to find these arrows? I'm having no luck at all

Hopefully I can get my hands on some more soon, but next video will for sure have the Black Eagle Rampage (0.001")! Do you have any specific arrows you want to see?

That's a good point, I'll definitely be looking into that. The problem is that some of the arrows are only sold in the dozen (depending on the retailer), but that's definitely something to look at. Thanks for the feedback!

Samuel White yeah you’re definitely gonna be limited to the choices versus a dozen in a box but especially with pricey stuff from Easton, Gold Tip and Victory there’s savings to be made. It’s quite specific but what I’d like to see is the real world difference between the grades of arrows. Like between match grade and normal or the V6/V3/V1 for VAPs (this is of interest to me as I usually get VAPs and TKOs in V3 as I don’t feel my results vary much with them vs the V1 graded ones. This could be explained by many other factors than the arrow however (I’m ok but no pro that’s for sure)

I've had a few people request those, so it's definitely on the to-do list. Thanks for watching AJ!

LOLLLL! Thanks Obelix

Definitely, I'll see if I can get my hands on some at some point. Thanks for watching!

I'm on it! Thanks for watching Andrew

But what if I want to look like a floating head in my videos, lol! Thanks for watching Chris.

I'm on it ;) Next arrow review will have the Black Eagle Rampage (0.001") in it. I'm hoping to get my hands on some more in the future. Thanks for watching!

Samuel White Cool! I was hoping to see some of the more affordable Black Eagle stuff in there (Outlaw, Zombie Slayer, Carnivore). I’ve heard a lot of good things about Black Eagle. Love the testing you are doing.

I’m using the Vital Impacts currently but also ordered some .003 Zombie Slayers from BEA to try out. Interested to see if they’d shoot better.
