I'm a believer now. I watched this video the other day and numbered all of my arrows. As you said, out of a dozen, there were 3 or 4 that flew differently than the others. I turned the nocks and all of them came into the center. I used a marker and marked the arrow for the arrow for up just as you did. Heading to Africa in 9 days and I'm feeling much more confident in ALL of my arrows and how they fly. Much appreciate Sir.

I have been knock tuning for 11 years, and its absolutely the best way to Find your FAVORITE arrows

Truth in this wisdom ,I've been doing this for the last 2 years and it works

Hey Troy just wanted to say thank you for all the information you are helping provide the archery community. You have helped me considerably. My local shop couldn't help me with anything as far as getting fixed blades to shoot properly with my xbow. I bought my own fletching jig. Went through bare shaft nock tuning which the shop said was unnecessary. Put on bohning x vanes 1 degree offset with a right helical lastnight. I shot it this morning and wow it works 1 inch groups at 40 with field points and broad heads.

Great video, you are definitely my favorite archery instructor now sir. Watching your videos greatly improved my knowledge and helping me build my skills. Thank you. And keep those practical advice coming.

I used to shoot recurves and longbows. Set them up the way you are setting up your compounds now. It absolutely works Great. Everything you say is true. I couldn't believe the difference high FOC, heavy arrows, nock tuning, etc. Improves Everything. Evan the bow felt better. Good to see you preaching to the compound users. Love your vidios. Your a hoot man. Bet your wife was nervous the first time she showed you off to her parents. Stumbled into you through The Hunting Public. I couldn't stand hunting vidios until I saw theirs, seem like a very good cast of characters. Problem is they remind me of how much I have slowed down at 68 compared to 25. Love the one where the kid try's to leap over the fence and crashes. No problem he gets right up and try again and makes it. I would still be laying their trying to get up. Keep up the good work

This has been happening to me for years. I get a dozen arrows... There's always a couple that just don't want to fly right. You bet I'm going to remember this and do just that.

Thanks for posting this. I had a broadhead tipped arrow behaving badly. I tried your nock tuning trick yesterday and after two adjustments it was hitting with the fieldpoint tipped arrow. Thanks and keep posting all the goodness you post.

I am late to the party but , you are 100% correct. A little nock tuning does wonders . Got 6 arrows out of 9 to fly true with broad heads. Thanks for info bud!!!

My God, this works so well. Its ridiculous. I had broadheads fly ----> straight into a tree. Turn the nock and no shit, it brought that sucker a whole foot over to my point of aim. Even with arrows and broadheads that dont spin true! It's crazy how well this can work.

Place an insert and field tip in each end of an arrow shaft (no fletchings). Use something to compress or flex the arrow (we used a bow press). The arrow will flex only one way. Mark the top of arched arrow, set the up fletching to this mark. Then line nock to the mark and shoot to fine tune.

I tuned 10 arrows yesterday. It is amazing what a 1/4 turn can do. Had 3 arrows go from 3 to 4 inches out to 3 inch group in the 3 inch center of my target just turning the nock less than a 1/4.

I am a big fan of your studys. I recently stumbled across this the otherday when shooting my recurve in the back yard. I had 3 arrows out of my 6 consistantly hitting high right. Switch my nock to different cockfeather and they are hitting with the rest. Awesome research my friend. Keep up the good work.

Always identify and mark the weak spine plane or the strong spine plane on each new shaft. It doesn't matter which plane you use as a reference. Then measure the spine on every arrow with your spine mark always oriented the same. Keep a notebook so you can compare various batches of arrows against each other. it doesn't matter whether you have the mark up, down, right or left. Just be consistent. Also, it is quite common to find one or two shafts out of a dozen that are significantly different from the others. Set the maverick arrows aside to use for stump shooting.

This makes a lot of sense thank you for the info

I love your sign in the background, mommy has a head ache. You kids go play in traffic😂

I just did this with 5 of my arrows. Went from 1"/1.5" down to 4 bullets and 1 at approx 1/4". Can't wait to test them on the range.

Depending on arrow manufacturer, a lot of arrows have a seam. That seam will be the strongest side of the shaft. That should always be indexed up when fletched

You are changing the game!

If you just find the spine of your arrows before tuning, you will be way better off. You have locate the exact spine. If jock tuning after already fetched, you can only get close. Maybe the true spine is between two of the vanes. If that’s the case, you’re screwed. So do your api e testing before you do anything else. Trim the shafts first, then find the spine, then fletch.

Awesome video man! Really enjoyed how practical this video is. Really like how you describe some arrows as misbehaving. Archery is a lot about tuning and tuning and more tuning.

I'm starting to understand this arrow tuning thing a little more.

22 people invested in Rage Broadheads and Full Metal Jacket shafts disliked this video. Ranch Fairy rocks!!!

You should make arrow packages and sell them. I’d totally buy a bunch!! You know your shit. Another awesome video

Love your info. Victory arrows are spine aligned so it really cuts down on nock tuning.

The same thing works with the broadhead if it won't behave, rotate the insert or shim the broadhead. A leather punch and paper or plastic makes pretty good shims for testing if you only want to move the insert once, brass shim is better if you don't want to move the insert at all.

Also remember to spin test each carbon arrow, they do sometimes have flaws and they don’t spin right.

Learn something new everyday...Thanks for the videos man.Wish you was in missouri I cant get my V3 to bare shaft tune for nothing.It groups with my other shafts its just way tear left

Gre8 stuff, RF. Keep those arrows flyin!

Good process RF. I used to spine index, but I found that it never mattered anyway; it's just a starting point. I nock tune with bareshafts through paper; every single arrow. Then fletch (so my cock vane is oriented correctly :)) and shoot broadheads; it's pretty rare to get a different reaction when I do it this way. Both methods end with a well tuned arrow. Keep spreading the news, people are getting it!

Honestly I've been been dealing with a bunch of inconveniences with my broadheads and field points! I'm shooting slicktrick standards 100gr which is a very small diameter broadhead. Definitely going to give this a try!

How would you go about doing your arrow tuning method with crossbow bolts? Obviously there’s a lot less adjustment in a crossbow. Would you suggest nok tuning without vanes on a crossbow (just so you can rotate the bolt to find the sweet spot and then reflects it when you find it?

u sir, are doing a great service to the deer; However, I would implore you to go back to Recurve for another decade . . . this is because recurve has an aesthetic appeal well above and beyond bows with wheels, cables, axles, pins, mechanic release. it is like WUT??? are we shooting a bow or are we operating heavy machinery?

This why victory arrows are spin aligned. ITS IMPORTANT PEOPLE. STOP FOLLOWING EVERYONE ELSE. DO THIS OR SHOOT VICTORY.

It really does work!

So after running through the test kit and finding which spine arrow and weight of broadhead works am I supposed to nock tune with field points then fletch then check with the broadheads and make the final nock tune adjustments.

Anybody else find it ironic how he always says “stay tuned” at the beginning of his videos. All he talks about is how to “stay tuned”

If you move the nock after nock tuning bare shaft won’t that jack stuff up? BTW I love this stuff, going from a 435g finish wt arrow to a 670g and nock tuning bare shaft has blown my mind wow! How many people I know that shoot on arrow bare get a tail R kick and go straight to moving cams and twisting strings. Twist the Nock dudes thanks RF

those arrows that just don't behave, have you every put them on a straightness roller? I watched a episode on Bowmar channel where he would show that these company's just cut the point end of the arrow and call it good, but when he put the arrow on the roller, there would be a slight wobble on the knock end, problem cutting knock end is your "graphics on the arrow" dont look the same in the quiver lol. Kinda like how you showed the cocked feather isn't always gonna be up. Maybe those bad arrows needed to be cut form the back to get better/straighter arrow launch?

I did a bareshaft tune, but with that, my fletching hit the strings of the bow when leaving, apparently not even a 2.75 tac vanes help with the problem. Whisker Biscuit V Plus installed. My bow is a Bear Legit 25" DL @ 56#

Was this before you discovered nock tuning bare shafts or should there be nock tuning both before and after fletching

How do I move my arrows that must have been glued in. They are bloodsport 350 spines with 100 grain field points and 15 grain insert.will a heat gun be the way to go

Question...why nock tune while bare shaft tuning if I have to nock tune when fletched and shooting broadheads ? Once I find my arrow setup that works for my bow and is just off a bit bare shaft, can I just micro tune by tuning my rest and then nock tune once fletched and shooting borashead? Thank you for all this knowledge and enlightenment! Lol

Ranch Slaya, hey I’m getting my bolts ready. I put a one fifty on my diablo it hit high. I switched to Easton power bolts with brass inserts, 150’s. Now they hit exact. 432gr total. I’m getting six inches through a block. Am I still too light? Are there bolt spine issues as well. Do I need to align three blade bolt cutters inline with vanes?

Common knowlege Thanks

What do you think about Beman vs Gold Tip for durability? Shaft as well as vanes for factory fletched arrows

Is there any sort of device for “puring” (identifying the spine) of arrow shafts like golf shafts?

Curious at what yardage is best to nock tune ?

I know this really doesn’t pertain to the video. But I see you have a Sniper Hog sight. I’m torn between the 50 and the 66. In your opinion, what is the sight like and which one would you recommended? Thanks.

RF have you seen the new Zinger fletching? Would love to see a review of them from you.

If you switch out a nock, do you retune the arrow with the new nock?

What vanes are you shooting? They didn’t look like feathers.

Does this apply to arrows for trad bows as well?

Is there any need to nock tune if your arrows are spine indexed?

You ever try floating the shafts in soapy water to find stiff side of arrow? Was wondering if it actually works

Do you ever shoot 4 2" fletch or stay with 3 2" fletching?

Change the nock on the number 5 see if there is a different

Do you square the ends of your arrows?

Did you switch from feathers

I understand everything except the numbers
