Archers ! Pay very close attention! This is the knowledge that you have been looking for! Believe me your 43 pound draw recurve bow will definitely cast a proper arrow right through any Deer 🦌 that you can get within range! Enjoy!

Now that I know more on the subject, this video makes a lot of sense to me now. In the beginning, after watching it multiple times, it would leave me in a fog of information. There are so many good nuggets of critical info in here. Much appreciated mate.

This guy is a fountain of knowledge.

Video I have been waiting for! Thanks so much Jeff! And best of all is that all my theories has been confirmed! God bless!

I'm not saying "misinformation" I am saying alot of information left out. Correct arrow tuning goes in to alot greater effort and detail than just cutting a specific spine arrow an inch past your draw length and screwing a point of a certain weight on to it. You can start full length bare shaft, use several different point weights if you like and cut the arrows down to tune correctly (even with a specific point weight in mind) and get multiple spines to tune. Other wise you are just using a "general idea" of what someone else thinks will work out of your bow and restricted to the point weight they think they have figured out for your bow. This is with them not knowing even if your bow is center shot. The 2 main things I would tell a relative newcomer is 40#@27" is no where near the same animal as 40#@30" and will require an entirely different arrow. And number 2, You can get away with an improper spine and a field point... The same cannot be said for broadheads. Do your homework, understand the correct tuning principles and enjoy the success of knowing exactly what tunes to your bow.

Great stuff. Very informative. Thanks Jeff!

Your information confirms what I found. I have a Bear Hunter TD riser with 40# Sage limbs, 26.5" draw, and 28.5" Tradition only 600's with a 175 grain point fly great. Thanks for the informative video.

Appreciate everything you do for us freind

Another great video, thank you

Thanks , great info

Excellent video. I am struggling with building my arrows for my 35 and 40 # bows

Jeff, thanks for another great video loaded with useful information. I have 2 questions for you: were you ever in the military and do you ever preach? You just seem like you could have been a very good Army instructor and you also seem like you'd be a natural at preaching the Gospel.

So get this....I have a 51 pound longbow, and I got BE instincts in 600s at 28 3/4 inch length, with 300 grains on the end (head plus outsert) and I have those arrows flying great... I thought 600s would never work, boy was I wrong, worked out better then any 500 I tried...I am at a 28 inch draw...540 grains overall.

Great videos. , keep em coming Are your bows cut to center that your describing here . They seem to me (newbie of only 4 months) to be a little weak. Not questioning you at all just wondering because I am looking for a little lighter set up than I'm running right now for my 40 # recurve

Hey Jeff Randall I left you a phone message ignore that got my bow today. Took me a minute to use the stringer bow is sweet so thank you very much.

Oh thank you so much! I've been looking for info on this and it's so helpful! What setup would you recommend for 26" draw length @ 39# with 26 grain lighted nocks? Would I be able to get by with Easton ProComp Hunting 470 spine arrow (7.3gpi) at 27" long and 50 grain insert + 125 grain tip/broadhead?

You recommend serrated, single blade broadheads for light poundage with tip weight less than 200 grains? Thought I would use them this year for better blood trail. I like shooting arrows over 29” as I tend to guide the arrow to draw with my index finger to keep it on the shelf. Using axis 600’s and less front end weight to maintain flatter trajectory.

I'm 6'7" 32" draw been using black eagle vintage as they come 34" what weight 2 blade would you use

Thankyou for these videos. Do you have a recommendation for what tool to measure draw weight with?

I'm shooting a bob lee one piece #40@28". I draw 28". My easton axis 500 spine shaft cut at 29 1/2" bareshaft perfect with a standard inserts and 150 grn points. If I go much heavier on point weight it gets squirrly

I've been getting those Gold Tip Warrior arrows, but I've been getting the 500 spine, and just recently today found our that that's too stiff for the recurves I'm using. (one's shorter, being 54" long while the other is average length; but both are 40#) I'm also using 100 grain field points, and was told I'd need 600 spine for that.

I have Trad Only Barebow 600's cut at 28", 100gr insert and 125gr point (total arrow weight 515gr) flying absolutely perfect out of my Bear Grizzly 42# at 26" Draw. Still trying to get a heavy arrow setup tuned.

Hi Jeff, I enjoy your videos, always good content. I have been shooting a Black Widow recurve 50lb. @ 29” draw. I’ve been shooting 400 Gold Tip arrows. I’m 67 now and need to transition to a lower 40lb @ 29 limbs and need to get arrows to match my new limbs. I cut my arrows @ 30” since I have 29” draw. Would you recommend 500 or a 600 for my setup. Thanks for your comments.

great video appreciate everything you do I run gold tip warrior arrows only I'm shooting 43 pounds at 29 inches with the warriors low gpi inch I can go up a spine and put absolute tank weight on the front of it for insane 21% foc and still have an arrow total weight of 496.5 grains for flat shooting hammer hitting arrows have gotten 2 complete pass through on white tail deer and you can not find a better priced arrow for the durability the provide in my opinion

Arrow poor. 42# 28 3/4 “ draw arrows cut at 29 3/4-30” would you go with 500or600 spine in the gold tip warrior for target? Truly appreciate your expertise and contribution to the archery world.

Hi Jeff i have a question for you , really a problem im working on. I am shooting a Leon Stewart Lil Slammer longbow 56” 50# @28” with easton carbon legacy 400 arrows cut at 28” with 200 grains up front with great foc , problem im having is i have 27” draw really closer to 26 3/4” draw and everything flys good 10-15 yds but out to 20 my arrow drop is huge like a ft or more do you have any solutions for this . Should i back off of my tip weight or? No archery shops anywhere close to me that even deal in trad setups , not sure what i need to do i dont hunt large game much because of this i keep falling back to compound but i want to hang the compound up for good any help would be awesome ! Thanks!

Mate what spine in GT trad. would you recommend for a super grizzly be pulling about 48lb and around 29”30 inch arrow ? I’m New to Trad. My draw length in my Hoyt helix is 29” and running a 30” arrow

How can I get in touch with you to order arrows? I’m getting my first trad bow.

Hi Jeff, I'm currently getting into Field & Hunter with shots up to 80 yards & then there are Animal rounds with distances up to 60 yards. My matched (paper test) arrow set up is 5/16 equivalent ID 6.2, Skylon Edge, 800 spine, 29 inches (Inc to nock tip with a 75 grain screw in tip plus aluminium, 10gn, insert. 3 four inch feathers, My best performing arrows weigh in at 254grn. These fly straight & true to my aim even at distance and are forgiving of many of my errors. I have plans to test some 80gn glue in points. I shoot a 35lb (33lb at my draw length) Twin (a deliberate purchase, I enjoy the traditional offset sight-line while taking advantage of modern design & materials), Trad. Recurve (Ireland IFAF (IFAA) - I think the USA has a slightly different definition of what that means?) take down bow. The gold tip warriors are available here in Ireland & I have used them. Currently, they are difficult to get as 800 spine here. I also have a set with 800 Predators 80gr tips, they weigh in at 272grn. I can't make them any lighter. Maybe cutting down the points insert into the carbon shaft manually (as opposed to the existing standard 120gn, 100gn, 80gn, snap off). I don't know if that is safe? In any case, they're an OD of 6.2

Jeff I have a question too. What year did you and Ty start your bow building business?? I have a reason for asking and you will know why very soon. Thanks Jeff. Jim

What arrows and weight would you recommend for a bow under 40lb and 31” draw please?

Lighter weight hunting bows: 1. 37 lb / 26” draw 2. 43 lb. / 26” draw What arrow setup?

I shoot a 46# @28 i shoot 500s with 125 upfront. I wanna move up to a 200gr point and I've looked at tons of arrows and im completely lost.

I have an asiatic tartar bow (very short arrow pass - 30# at 28") and a korean bow (no arrow pass cuts 35# at 30"). I use stock Victory Vforce 600 spine at 31.5 and I draw the full length (30 easy but can extend to 31-31.5 as well). The insert is 11 grains and the nock is 9 grains with 3x 4" feathers. While I do like them, I wonder because of my long draw if a 500 or 400 spine arrows with a heavier point grain. What would be your suggestion?

I'm an adult, 6'2 and have a 25 pound draw recurve bow....what is the best arrow spine for best accuracy with my bow?

My wife is just starting to shoot so I got her a 20lb ILF Bow, most charts show for that poundage a 700 spine shaft, using a 100 gram target point. Is this logical arrow weight etc.?

Where can I buy arrows from you? Website seems to not load (SSL cert issue)

Sorry to bother you I know you're busy but I have a question I have a Southwest archery 40 lb 64 inch takedown Longbow I just ordered gold tip 500 spine Warrior 30 inch arrows and was just wondering what point weight and insert weight would be best for hunting I have a 28 1/2 inch draw any help would be deeply appreciated I am very new to this thank you

Hi Jeff,I have a 24 inch draw,41 pound super Kodiak, I’m shooting’ eastern legacy 600 s cut 27 inch could go shorter, with a front weight of about 225 250, what do you recommend finished arrow 470ish right now, would like 500 or more. Thanks
