Cause they are trash. Just buy a real bow🤦‍♂️

@@lanekejr3209 I've used bowtech, PSE, Bear, Hoyt and Matthews. My Gearhead is my favorite bow above all the ones I just mentioned. They're definitely not trash. That's my 1100 lb Bull elk told me out of Northern Arizona.

Great video. I'm thinking of getting one of these for mountain hunting. I shoot a VXR31.5. Can you do show some longer range shots with it. I like to shoot out to 60 n 80 for fun. Hunt only to about 40.

Skip just helped me order and customize mine as well I’m so excited my first bow

How is the peep sight location? I’m 32” draw as well, and never bought that bow because I feared my peep height would be to high do to the string angle.

you will be pleased with it

I'd buy this just because of the 1911 grip option. I have a few 1911s and a lot of really nice scales. Some stabilized cherry burl scales would look very classy on the standard black model. Even if you don't own a 1911, the scales are for sale everywhere and even pretty easy to make yourself.

After Covid?

covid is here for ever just like the Flu come up with Plan B

I shot them at ATA briefly. They were crazy light and compact. Still shot smooth. String angle was a little small for me though

If you weren't changing anything else, that would be correct. But, to maintain your normal draw length, you'd need to also adjust the draw mods if you changed your brace height. So I might use draw mod 7 at a 5" brace height and draw mod 3 at a 7" brace height for example. So that change in powerstroke which needs to happen as a result of moving the grip would be what causes the change in speed.

@@DIYSportsman Got it. I didn't know you changed mods. Thank you.

This might be the one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpeHlJmX0qmXfH0.html

@@DIYSportsman thanks so much for sharing the link with me.

My fear would be tapping a string with a broadhead while trying to knock up in the dark.

I'm not concerned about it. The broadhead never really gets all that close to the string or cables. You're more likely to just bump the riser and make a click noise.

@@DIYSportsman Try loading loading from front. For me it is much easier, faster and quieter

I think the Arc'Teryx ones are probably my favorite ones. I usually use them more in the early season and then less as the season goes on.

@@DIYSportsman thank you for being so prompt in replies! Greatly appreciated

@@brendenwesterfeldt95 in a video Garrett had in August I responded to him that I bought a pair of hunting pants in the area we both live in. They r the Kingscamo XKG Preacher pants. They r a poly/spandex high quality with a knee pad that is sewn in between the inner & outer layer. My 🌳 hunting is up close & personal so unless it is windy I will be wearing them with a fleece or cotton cover layer. However they come in a Desert Shadow pattern which matches my Sitka gear very nicely. U can look into them on kingscamo.com. Hope this helps.

There's always going to be a bit of personal preference woven in, but if there were any downsides, it would be fewer proshops (if you needed them), and having to feed the arrow between the riser plates. In regards to accuracy, weight, and other measurables or factors, it's going to depend on the model. Carbon T20 will hold and shoot differently than a B36 for example. After shooting the 24, it itself is capable in the right hands at long range, but I'd look to the 30, 34, and 36 if that was a main priority over compactness. At that point, the size is more apples to apples with other bows in the general hunting realm. With their riser design, I have to imagine their longer bows would shoot great at long range, just haven't tried. Though for the tight quarters stuff, the 24 and 30 are nice. Just this past weekend we bushwacked into an area and only cut out a slight shooting window just big enough for that 24 and had phenomenal cover. Experimenting with the different grips would be an area to play around with too. But to answer your question more directly I don't feel like you're taking a step backwards with them by any means. Just pick a model you think you'd like, and shoot them against other bows you might like to help make a decision if you're able.

@@DIYSportsman awesome thanks so much for the reply best ...review of a Gearhead bow on youtube...I would love to see more on your bow in the future ... thanks again

I may. I'm hunting a lot of states this year with little time for each. Depending on how the season flows I may pull out the traditional for a while.

I agree Dave. More longbow hunts lol. Just busting in good fun I have a longbow I hunt with and a Prime logic ct3 that I love and my trad buds rib me all the time. It's all good. I have to admit though that is a weird looking contraption!

@@daviddeleskyhhjhhjjhjh9391 I'm just envious of the AW bow, they are phenomenal

I'm not sure that's necessarily true. I'd imagine it has more to due with the design specifics of the cam and limb angle etc, and whether you're ordering a bow that's specific to 25" draw max or one that's got an adjustable mod that's dialed back down to get that length. Often bows operate best at peak draw weight and length.

I took standard paracord or polyester cord it I could find it. Gutted out the inner core so that it was only sheath material and then tied it on in couple foot segments.

Accuracy probably isn't the best word. Most modern bows will shoot accurately out of a machine or elite archer. 2019 Vegas Bowhunter freestyle was won with a T24 for instance. Usually what it really comes down to is forgiveness of imperfection on the shorter bows, and dealing wirh the smaller string angle. With no wind and field points, I could usually hold 5-8" groups at 80, but that's going to vary by person.

Yes I'm left handed. The bow itself can be swapped to either left or right handed.

@@DIYSportsman thats awesome. I enjoy all the pointers u give..

@@DIYSportsman Since you’re using FOBs what arrow rest are you using with this bow? Excellent review thanks.

Wow! You are really fixed on being old!

Haha...old and negative.

Most of my testing over the summer has been with the Black Gold mountain lite. That said, the V is a little more durable and better in extreme low light which is why I like it for whitetail hunting. The precision has a lot to use with how you aim. It's the same concept as gapping pins which is pretty well accepted, just on two planes instead of one. I think some of the accuracy concerns are perpetuated by guys that are using it to point and ballpark a location which isn't the most accurate way to shoot it.

I agree, but I don't think the deer care.

PaEhKlow Hunting yeah, looks like something a chubby guy that practices sword fighting, alone, in his backyard would design.

Agreed, if I’m gonna spend $1000 on a bow it better be sharp looking. That’s why I bought the Mathews VXR 28
