The most underrated archery hunting channel on the planet period. The RF needs to be on every major hunting pod cast ...Rogan, Meat Eater, Newburg, Grity Bowmen, ect ect. Wake up the archery world !💪🏽🇺🇸🏁

No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth. - Plato

This is hands down THE most important video about the importance of workhorse arrow systems. Thanks, RF.

After watching maybe 20-30 of your videos, I can clearly see why people really don't like you much. It's the same reason that I'm subscribed. No matter how much salt you season it with,, the truth leaves a really bad taste in the mouths of the most arrogant and prideful hunters that will not admit they are or have been wrong. It's embarrassing, humbling and sometimes even shameful to realize that we've made fundamental mistakes, but there are physical laws that scream out "There is a better way.' But here's the reward: You are helping this of us that really want to be better, more effective hunters, become better, more effective hunters. Your one of the best science teachers I've studied under. I'm taking notes . Thanks Troy

Troy is a standup dude! He put up with a bunch of questions from me via email, and took time to answer right away. Building my adult arrows based off of his recommendations. Got me some Sirius Ranch Fairy Apollo’s on the way. Cut to length, 4 fletch with 100 grain inserts. Going from Rage flappers to Black Hornet Ser Razors. I’m looking forward to the change, and his research has really help renew my interest in this great sport. Support this guy! Thanks again Troy!

“Freebasing with their typewritters”. LMAO! I think you nailed it with that one for at least 99.9%.

I changed my entire setup in the last 2 years learning from you and the Doc. Thanks for all you do! Love your content!!!

Got my Tuff head coming soon 300 grains of love

I don’t feel you have to make any other videos. This says a lot. I have your broadheads. And the evolution. I’m pumped to use them! A few days I’ll be out hunting

here I am, deer season is over, watching this again ... wow, I want to go out and shoot something through the Vital V now. Thanks Troy!

Troy has lead the viewers to water, but that doesn’t mean they will all take a drink 😆 If you are a conscientious ethical hunter, with a decent mechanical aptitude, you will understand Troy’s message. Some will pay attention due to personal experience losing an animal while using a flapper broad head, and are seeking a better solution. Sadly, many animals will be waisted, due to others falling prey to the hunting industry’s mass marketing of flimsy inefficient broad heads. Thanks for your dedication to research and testing RF!

You know the only problem I have with videos like this is every time he comes out with one these videos; adult broadheads disappear from the market so ordering more turns into the waiting game LOL

To clarify, the strings on the sweatshirts are intended to cover your shame for shooting flappers and kiddy arrows. Then the RF insisted to remove them because you have graduated and entered a new realm of bowhunting, no more shame

Hello Troy. Some folks get their feelings hurt when they watch your videos but facts don't care about your feelings. If what you are doing works for you, then by all means keep doing what your doing but if not, and there appear to be a lot of if not's, I'm glad you and Dr. Ashby are here to help.

Good stuff RF - I've been doing this for decades heavy arrows many double arrow inside an arrow to get the weight and always strong steel broadheads - it is great to see some of the long known practices of Big Game Traditional Bowhunters get out to the rest of modern archery. I have taken less than ten quartering Too shots last 30 years but I've never had one fail - ALL hit the dirt Quickly!!

"Free Basing on their KeyBoards" OMG! LOL

Yes! been waiting for this. Happy Holidays brother.

Totally get it. I switched to a fixed blade this year because of your videos. I have witnessed extraordinary difference in penatration. My existing system is 480 grains. I plan on moving that up in the off season, just didn't have enough time to properly test during season. But I've seen enough evidence to know heavier is where I need to be. Thank you and the animals we hunt thank you.

As a dad with 4 kids that hunt this is the best info can have them learn. thanks RF

Well done. Another straightforward and educational video.

Getting my popcorn ready should be interesting night

I liked the ranch fairy approved check at the end.. another great education video. Thanks Troy

Strangest hunting year for me / my first deer was a slight quartering to (with RF arrows) and went down in sight. Only my .30-06 and .270 WSM made shorter death runs! But I only had one bow kill! Very atypical BUT - I spent TIME on each arrow, practiced like crazy, and that one deer didn’t suffer and my freezer is full.

I watch your three videos in the series excellent content, it’s a great education. Thank you for paying it forward.

Greatest video yet Thanks Troy !!!!

Appreciate all your information and time and effort into this subject! There's so much I still want to learn and love listening to you speak about it! Heck maybe I'll get to hunt with you one day! Your not to far away!

I’ve learned so much watching rf and the hunting public why aren’t these guys mainstream?!

That was excellent, should be mandatory to watch for all hunters period !

Haters can hate, but the man speaks the truth! Preach it Troy!

Excellent,love it,Merry Christmas and hopefully a good new year

Great info Troy, I agree 100% and will have my adult arrows built by 2021 hunting season

Thanks for a healthy dose of realism. People will take the shot, best to be prepared.

Better then hitting them in the ribs with a flapper and it failing! Much quicker death love it! Im fired up because you and Doc got my confidence back thank you 🙏

Thankful for you RF. I'm still a big boy, but shooting adult arrows! God bless the Ranch Fairy

Both 1 and 2 of these videos should be part of the hunter education program. Good job troy

True words, clear spoken! Thanx RanchFairy Sensei🙏👍👍👍😎

Absolutely solid advice. Thank you

Love your videos brutha. Thanks for all you do. Just ordered 250 gr cutthroats for my adult arrows for deer season here in Arkansas. Wish you'd merchandise a shirt with your fairy with tbe arrow wand like on your channel pic. At any rate between you and the hunting public y'all are my TV channels lol. Keep up the great content man.

Such good info! Thanks troy!

Respect what you do and teach/preach. I also watch THP. Hope you get a chance to use the elk Aaron got this year that really shows what an adult arrow will do. Keep up the awesome work, it is needed and appreciated.

Great series brother. Hope you had a great Christmas.

Life changing videos. Going with iron will heads

Always a fun time watching the fairy

Fantastic video! Logic and reason rule. I won't bowhunt another year without adult arrows and tough, razor sharp broadheads. This stuff is really game-changing.

I changed my set up following the RF arrow build video's... I'm all in with 300 spine arrow at 600 grains and 20% FOC... pound em......thanks for ALL your content RF... keep up the good fight...!!

Hy following you from europe !!! I want just to say that your are perfectly right in what you say but for me the most important think is that your explanations of your theory is just so clear and so easy to understand by anybody. Your are just a goooood teacher... and I would also add after following your videos that I have change my setup to arrow 420grain slick Strick broad head to 580 grain single bevel broad head and since all animals that I have shot were recovered with 50 yards... thank's for your dedication of ethics hunting.. and keep going on... from one of your video fan !!!

Thanks for the information. This was very helpful.

Great video brother! Keep preaching the truth! Love your videos!

I like many got indoctrinated into the fastest arrow is the best in the beginning of our infant archery walk, went straight to you tube school finally got a hold of these RF videos man did my world and thought change , ethics confidence response able hunting learning what really works great in various situations thanks a lot troy keep up the great work 👍

Just wanted to say thanks for the content.

Shot a buck in Kansas this year with a 450grain arrow setup with a stinger sharpened the way you recommended. Entry was last rib and exit was through the shoulder and stuck in the ground! Buck ran 50 yards and died in sight, that’s a good feeling! Just ordered Grizzly’s 650 grain setup, should be able to punch through anything now! Thanks for making me a believer!

Excellent info brother, thanks.

Excellent vids! Thank you.

Perfectly explained!!

Yes sirrrrrr! That fairy dust is good shit man! I got my arrows up to 526! Going out in the am, if I im successful you will be receiving pics or video if im lucky! Im lucky my buddies a bow Wizard!!! Bass!? Can't wait Troy love largemouth bass!! Your channel is awesome and entertaining you're a stand up man!!

That's how I shot my buck this year! Cut the front point of the left shoulder and exited on the right leg. Cut the right leg to pieces and had a 3 foot wide blood trail. The arrow went through like a bullet and split a rock.

Feeding the algorithm. Great video. A video unpacking the nasty comments you receive would be funny. Happy New Year

I bought Dad adult arrows for Christmas. He was offended but now loves them. Thanks Ranch.

I made the shot about 7 years ago with a 65 lb compound 29 in draw probably 475 grain arrow and a wensel Woodsman Broadhead with feathers. The arrow entered at the mid-point of the neck and exited in front of the opposite side rear hind quarter. The deer ran up the hill away from the swamp and died on the edge of the field 50 yards away where I easily drove my truck to pick it up... bang.... dead. You got to love it when a plan comes together

“Shoot properly adulted arrows” needs to be a T-shirt.

Thanks for your help and info

My setup was tuned better than it ever was previously, bareshaft and paper, broadheads hitting with field points first time ever. And for that (and the 15 yard bloodtrail) I Thank You👍

I will always wait for a broad or quartering away shot hands down!!

From Human physiology and experience as a Respiratory Technician, the lungs do as you state have multiple lobes and the critical vessels connect the heart and lungs, exchanging carbon dioxide in the blood from venous circulation, oxygenating in the lungs before being pumped back out to the body as arterial blood. When an arrow or other object passes through the chest cavity, it first pierces the pleura, a sack that surrounds the lungs, enabling them to keep the lungs expanded. When the pleural sack is pierced, the lungs will loose their ability to stay expanded and consequently oxygenate arterial blood. This is important knowledge for hunters, because ANY SHOT THAT PIERCES THE PLEURAL SACK WILL RESULT IN DEATH. It might not come instantly, but when the lungs loose their ability to expand, oxygenation will fail to occur and death will follow. The lungs aren’t two balloons, but rather thousands of tiny balloons that rely on a sealed lung cavity that is pressurized to stay expanded.

Spitting facts keep them coming

Love it 🦌🏹

That Andy Rooney quote is great. This one is similar: "The moment a person forms a theory, his imagination sees in every object only the traits which favor that theory." - Thomas Jefferson

A comment because the algorithm demands it

I passed the exact same shot as the last shot you showed on that hog animation. Had my target buck at 5 yards quartered too from a stand at full draw with 2 days left in the season. I badly wanted to put the arrow in the crease between the neck and his shoulder but I let him go. Few weeks later he broke off one of his main beams and I have not seen him since. I have been a rage hypodermic shooter since they were made, they have yet to fail me. But you are right, I feel limited. I am going to be building some of my own arrows and cranking some FOC into my set up, I have not decided if I will put the Hypodermics aside or not yet...but what you have shown through your channel is convincing. I love the way you prove your what you preach keep it up!

Great info, definitely had passed a shooter buck quartering to at 50yds. I’m shooting roughly a 560gr arrow @70lbs, 28” DL. I didn’t feel comfortable with that angle. It was a little too much quarter to. Love the info, maybe I will have to tinker with a single bezel broad head

Changed my setup last session after I broke my arrow trying to pound one. Took 6 hours to find it and only had about 8in of penetration. Only thing that saved it was I hit the main artery in the neck before hitting bone.

I'd like to visit you, at your ranch. Your videos, along with the Ed Ashby Foundation and The Hunting Public videos, have made a huge difference in the way I hunt, shoot archery and look at a whitetail's vitals! 👍 I went with a heavier arrow setup, last fall and it paid off with a heart shot on my first ground killed buck, at 27 yards. This year, I'm stepping up with a slightly heavier arrow, single/left bevel Grizzly broadheads (razor sharpened) and a highly tuned Elite Ritual 30. 😎

First let me say that I shoot longbows only and have for nearly thirty years. I’ve shot most of good two bevel heads about three years ago I changed to to Grizzly 150gr.head and I shoot wood or aluminum arrows in the 480 to 550 gran range out of longbows that or 40 to 45 lbs and get pass throughs. Great stuff on here.

15 minutes of Ranch Fairy > 15 hours of chatroom forums

Great video.

awesome! bowhunters need to sharpen their visual and listening skills after the shot...remember direction and listen for crashing. you'll be amazed how sound/distace perception can be sharpened...thx for great info

Keep up the good work

I've been wondering about this for a long time, and have only been shooting at broadside and quartering away angles for years because that's what everyone says you have to do. It makes no sense to avoid this shot if you can hit vitals. Thank you sincerely for giving me the permission I've been looking for to take this shot!

Woooo! Love me some Fairy dust! 🤪

Got my arrows upgraded over the summer because of RF. I’m only at 565 grains but have shot an 8 point and a hog this season, neither made it 40 yards after the shot. I’m shooting 3 blade vpa broad head but stepping up to single bevel next season

Good stuff!

Mr Van Schlupp, " your shooting em in the shoulder, euuurrrra" lmfao 🤣 😂 😆 can you do more of him too please!? TROY goes yeah, I am!! I watch just to see him sometimes lol

Great stuff

RF for president 2024.

Awesome vid

Another bit of truth. Happy New Year.

Solid info, well DONE! If more Hunters would go up to at least 575 to 625 grain Arrow. we would have less videos all over KZfaq with the porcupine quill flapper stick running off deer with one little penetration hole

Practicing my stroping technique so relaxing. I'm using a cereal box front on a table. Its actually working but it seems it kinda leveled off on sharpness or I just need to keep going I did it for an hour practicing and its working forsure becuase i did shoot a foam target. Its cutting paper but not as good as it should. I'll eventually get a nice strop but I heard about the cereal box thing and tried it. Wanted to say thanks again this makes it even more special to me get that edge finish just right ✅

Yep, I can confirm shooting between the shoulder & the brisket (As shown) can be deadly & it's a rib only shot, unless the deer moves wrong. Done it with both arrow out of a tree stand & rifle on the ground. Saw the deer go down in both cases.

Cant wait for the next vids!!! Keep Speaking the truth!!

Excellent

I've only killed one deer quartering to me and the setup at the time was admittedly marginal. 570 grain total weight but with a mechanical on the front. Near shoulder was back so I tucked it in front, smashed into the offside knuckle, sliced the top of the heart. I'm going to build a heavy setup with my 59 pound recurve for 2021. Based off previous tunes I'll likely have XX78, way less bendy than XX75, 2317 aluminums full length with 150 or 175 grain points. Total weight 705 to 730 grains. Should be around 180 feet per second of my bow, helped by having an almost 33 inch draw length.

The sole reason the mass bowhunting public does not go for the ( heavy arrow, high FOC with good fixed blade broadhead) concept is that they are not willing to accept the increased arrow drop - plain and simple.... I get that... It's definitely is something one needs to get used to. Nothing a good range finder can't help you with though. The benefits of a good heavy arrow set up which allows you "shot forward" placement easily TRUMPS the decreased arrow trajectory in my books.

"Freebasing with their typewriters" lol, comedy gold! Love it...

Hi Troy, I’ve always shot 300 spine arrow before I started watching your videos. I don’t weight the front of my arrow heavily like you advocate but I plan on changing that... I have a lot of energy with a 31.5” draw. The last two bucks I killed were on public land in PA and I shot them both through the shoulder/upper leg slightly quartering... only got about 10” of penetration on each but neither one went more than 50 yards

Funny, well done and said

First season hunting. Got a shot at a nice buck first hunt of the year (early muzzleloader). Buck was perfectly broadside I got some bad advice to not shoot in the v but a little further back. Got good blood but the deer ended up crossing a river (then to get shot by someone else). Hunted about 10 more times without getting a shot. Fast forward to late muzzleloader and I had a doe come up to me quartering to pretty hard, actually stomping at me. Ended up aming for the exit along the opposite front leg and she didn't make it 30 years. Entry looks too far forward in the picture but it was a double lung with a perfect exit.

Absolutely correct I am a retired paramedic pound and pond em hard heart lung don't survive

No hate mail here my man. It just makes sense. I'm already working on my arrow set up. 🏹🦌
