Josh said "cougar sausage" to be specific🫢🤭

Also "You gotta take care of your meat" 😆

Thanks for the like! As an archer from Zimbabwe this podcast and the rest of the KZfaq archery world has been a great resource.

Thanks for listening

Thanks dude! - tc

Dudley is all about 265-285 if I remember correctly. I think that’s kind of a happy medium goal speed. Not super light, not crazy heavy.

You’ll get a bigger than 1 inch hole on entrance. It’s comparable to any other 2 inch cut. Whether the design is to open after the rib cage or not, it cuts a 2 inch hole going in

Words!!

I’m at 530gr total weight and shooting the focos with 150gr heads, tuffhead evo 2.0 broadheads are what I’ve been working on tuning and I think none of my issues have anything to do with the setup but I’ve found with my Hoyt nitrum 30 27.5” dl 66dw, if I don’t get a solid push, pull, release my broadheads don’t come off the bow good and the margin of arrow at 20yds is about 4” off center.

Lol same here - tc

This is not necessarily true especially if by heavy arrow you mean high FOC. High FOC can create it’s own host of problems with arrow flight. A heavy arrow with low FOC isn’t the same as a heavy arrow with high FOC. A heavy arrow may be a solution for someone with low draw wt. or length but it shouldn’t be the norm for everyone. People don’t understand the concept of arrow flight, the purpose of your traditional vanes, and aerodynamics. 1) why people have poor arrow flight at high speeds is because majority of arrows aren’t spine index correctly/oriented in their proper bend. 2) use too big of a profile broadhead which supersedes what the vanes can do. You essential just put bigger vanes on the front of the arrow. 3) anything over 280fps and aerodynamics becomes super important and regular vanes such as blazer, aae, ect. do a poor job of stabilizing an arrow because they can no longer work on the drag principle and start to flutter. Instead of building arrows correctly people will essentially make arrows heavier which will drop arrow speeds down to 260-80fps and they all say this is their sweet spot. Reason being they slowed an arrow down enough we’re aerodynamic is not a huge factor and regular vanes can start working on the principle of drag. Of course it’s easier to control a car at 40mph vs 80mph. I would rather build a proper arrow, use proper vanes, use a proper fixed broad head rather than making it slower by making it heavier. You will see these concepts quite evident in crossbow world where you have fps as high as 500+ now.

What spine arrow do you shoot with those specs?

@@jacobwilliams4979 dropped to 72# currently with a 100 grain head. 60 grain total ethics insert and collar. VAP SS cut as short as i can 3 Tac driver 2.25” vanes and 15 grain halo nocks. Perfect paper tear with 300 spine. But im probably pushing it. Although MFJJ usually shoots 300 spine as well to stay as light gpi as he can.

Menards is a Wisconsin based company so it’s not that crazy that you have them in Michigan. The whole arrow mass topic is retarded. There’s reasons for both. There’s downsides to both ends of the spectrum and both have their positives. Just make sure you’re arrow flight is perfect, your broadhead is sharp, you know where to aim, and have the ability to hit where you’re aiming

watch one of our broadhead tuning vids!

@@JoshandTim even when the field points are flying consistent with each other?

Yessir

@@JoshandTim appreciate yall! Keep up the great podcasts.

I'm at 70#s with 26.5"DL and a 436grain 18% foc arrow and it's 281fps 😆 I'm looking forward to putting an arrow into an animal.

I’m shooting low 280s with 525 grains 29.5 inch draw. Looking forward to shooting one as well

70lbs

@alexgarete1521 yea us short draw guys ain't blessed with that lol. If I used a 525gr arrow my speed would drop down to 225ish if I was lucky. When I was using a 475gr my speeds were around 240ish. Now I got a new set of bloodline strings and lighter arrow with titanium insert and titanium broadheadand a stiffer spine these things are lasers beams. Those bloodline strings added close to 10fps not are if its because there thinner strings or what

@@tylersweeney22 ya that’s unfortunate and can be tough because that extra draw length really helps you push some of these heavier arrows the same speeds these big elk deer hunters swear by shooting the 280 range

They bought out truglo

@@user-hc4jn8sd2u when you say “they” do you mean Nap bought truglo?

Glad someone noticed!

A risk we’re willing to take.. in person conversations are the most powerful

I have two Athens bows. They’re great

Are you sure about that ? I feel like all the deer I’ve killed within 25yds the arrow went exactly where I was aiming

@@longshotdiedtired1582 im not sure of anything thats what they show and I have had a deer drop under a very fast and light arrow at 18 yards she looked like the matrix

That’s a smoking setup
