My phone has heard you say twizzlers so many times that I've got twizzler ads popping up

Your crazy ass has become my favorite person on the internet

Started watching you when you did the series with The Hunting Public. I've learned more about arrows in 4 days than I have in a lot of years. It just so happens, I've been wanting to increase the weight of my arrows, then I find you. 😁👍🏹

I wanted to publicly say thanks to the RF for the guidance he has given me via email over the past few weeks. He has responded quickly regarding arrow flight questions all the way to some not often discussed shot placement questions. Thanks again!!

Glad to see you used the picture I sent. Slightly KZfaq famous now. At least I knew to move the rest up now. 👍🏻

Started paper tuning today for the first time, had nock high shots. Was frustrated and stopped shooting. Sat down on the can, opened KZfaq and had this present of a video to make things better. Thanks RF.

Ive had my bow to the shop twice. I dont have a press or I would have worked on it myself. Anyway I took it in and asked them to look at it and that i suspected the top cam was out of time. He looks at me and tells me that these bows just dont go out of time too much. I asked him to humor me and give it a look. (he has a hooter shooter) About a week later he said it was done and sure enough the top cam was out of time. Huh?? I take it back home and a few days later attempt to work through some hand loading. Every combination of field point 200-300 on a 250 and 300 shaft had a hard left tear. I messed with the rest a bit but the adjustment would require the center shot to be way out of line so I started looking into it. I learned about the top-hats being adjustable on my Triax. I took it back to the same shop and asked them to take a look. Again they looked at me like i was an alien and again i asked them to humor me. This time I left a couple 300 spine bareshafts and 200 grain field points (I didnt want him tuning it with one of the twizzlers and telling me it was fine) and asked them to paper tune that setup the best they could. They argued why that wasnt a good idea and why it wouldnt fly. They said when I fletched the arrows they would fly diff. and why was I trying to shoot such heavy arrows. Why didnt I just take a 400 FMJ and go with it. I tried to explain but again the alien look... ! About a week later he calls to let me know it was done and guess what, it tuned a perfect bullet hole. I asked if the top-hats had to be adjusted and guess what the answer was?? Duh? Back home I go and with a little tweaking, I now have the choice of shooting 250, 275, or 300 grains on the front of those same 300 spine arrows. So my point is just as the fairy stated. When nothing seems to be working with any of the combos, its probably the bow. And as a warning to you, alot of people will think your heavy arrow vision is ridiculous and that it wont work. I showed the shop guy pictures of the results of my post repair hand loads and I could tell I had his attention finally. He had at least started the thought process! Good luck and it will take time, effort and poss. some repair costs but it does work....

When you say "get a psychologist," I can't help but imagine somebody actually sitting down with a psychologist and explaining how their bare shafts give them bullet holes at 7 yards but a slight tear at 20 yards. And the psychologist just staring at their notepad wondering what in the world is wrong with this person. Thanks for all the informational videos while still being extremely practical and helpful!

Yeah, gotta say I appreciate the straight forward anti-political correct approach. Sarcasm and straight talk has always worked for me! Thank you good sir!

Man, this stuff is just great. Had my 100 grain heads in my Victory RIP TKO 300's shooting great. Got my Ranch Fairy 200-300 Grain Test Kit yesterday. Couldn't get one of the heavy points to arrow tune. Did what he said, I stopped took a night sleep. Woke up and moved my rest till my 200 Grain points shot awesome. Guess what I now have 200 grain and 275 grain points shooting great and I didn't have to go nuts. Now I get the benefits of High FOC and Sharp broadheads this Fall. Ranch Fairy keep up the hard work and thanks for all this free info!!

Shout out to Troy. I’ve come across several ...internet sources that have made me a better hunter this off season. But no one has been as much of a game changer as Troy. All the gear , strategy, and tactics are fantastic and needed , but if you don’t recover your animal , why are we doing this. Troy, your education on arrow flight , weight, and penetration is a game changer; and that’s an understatement. Thank you again for your hard work . I hope you continue to do what you’re doin.

Great video Troy loving the THP vids from the ranch I can’t wait to test out my hand loads on a booner

The process has made me better. Can’t wait to put it to the test this fall

This answered EVERY question I had after my first round of hand loading... THANK YOU!

Great job Troy, love your videos and pure honesty. I thank you, i have learned a great deal from you kind sir, keep em coming brother.

This may just be your BEST video EVER!!

Yep, awesome video again & clarified the fairy formula a little more!! A million thanks RF!!!!

Thanks for making these videos you helped me out getting my bow tuned in fairly close now to work on me and my groupings

Saw you on thp and i can listen to you all day man you very smart trying to learn alot ty

This video is just what I needed to see today! All tears going one direction, heading to the shop soon

Thank you for the videos. I watched your video with the hunting public then I was hooked. I have learned more in the last couple days of watching your videos than I have in the last 27years of archery hunting. Thanks!

Troy, love the channel and all the pearls of wisdom. Plus the smart comments. HAHA 😂 keep it up. Hope it all pays off for the kids and myself this fall. We miss pig hunting down south.

Total love all the videos, also the fact that you replied to my email within hours shows me how top notch you are. I appreciate all the help!!

your knoledge is overwhelming, thank you

Troy, thank you for sharing this . I think it’s one of the most informative videos you’ve ever posted, it has literally saved me from going crazy.

Great video. A lot of good points. I was driving myself crazy paper tuning. Sometimes you have to walk away and come back the next day when you have a clear head.

Happening since 4th grade! 🤣. Thanks for providing this info!

Preach it brother! I had a customer message me for two weeks trying to paper tune. He was shooting a very grip sensitive bow and really did not know how to tune. I spent hours and hours working with him via messages before we finally got him straightened out.

Dude you're funny outtakes about archery stuff and your mannerisms, you make me laugh I love watching your videos keep them coming

I think the whole first half of the video was from my message to you last night. Haha! Whether it was or it wasnt thanks for the reassurance troy! Keep up the good fight

I like how you get straight to the point. I’ve been learning so much watching your channel

Watching this vid againagainagain-thanks Troy!

Always good info Troy.

I can't wait for my new string to come in so I can tune EVERYTHING. I wish I stumbled on your videos a week earlier than I did because I probably wouldn't have ordered 2 dozen 350 spine arrows. I probably would have ordered some 250s and 300s to see what happens.

Haha I could seriously watch you all day! Stay awesome brother!

My brother and I just ran into this issue this weekend with his bow. We are taking it in this weekend!

Some of the paper hits looked like mine!! But with Patience. Finnally later beams. And with Patiences I need days!!! Thank you for your teaching Mr. RANCH FAIRY!!!

I'm late to the party, only started down this road about 3 weeks ago. I appreciate you dumbing it down and laying out realistic expectations. I'm impatiently waiting on packages to be delivered....

Thanks for the video!! Just throwing this out there for people watching, not always when you take it to “the shop” will it come back perfect. A lot of times you might have to move the rest quiet a bit.

Definitely late to the party on this video, but I just found the channel last week. The best thing I ever did was to start moving my point/FOC and arrow weight up and paper tuning a few years ago. I would mess with the rest, d-loop, poundage and tiller until I got it right. And the amount of freedom from having to use a specific type of fletching is nice. Once my head wrapped around flight and penetration, I could care less about speed. You're the 1st person that I've heard talk about nock tuning. That'll be next on the list. Adult arrows for the win!!!

Love the content you’re changing the game for me. And I watched ted n jake drop those 🐖 thats what im looking for

So much information, thankyou

And Make sure your shafts are good! I was doing some bareshaft and broadhead tuning yesterday and at the end of the day had one bareshaft flying like a dart out to 20 and one was flying terrible. Turns out the terrible one had gotten hit earlier in the day and had a 4” hairline crack on the nock end.

Had that wild tear issue - turns out I needed a couple of twists in a cable and all of a sudden my 4 inch tears turned into Penny tears and nock tuned into bullet holes So satisfying to see the progress through the process Thank you Troy!

Such a great video You cleared up a lot of stuff for guys I am sure, me included

Well said man good work

Excellent explanation - tune it to as near perfect as you can, then let the fletching do what little work that remains. Pretty smart.

So what I have gotten out of all of the videos in this series is: 1. You need perfect form when you shoot. 2. Pre fletched arrows cut to length need no tuning. 3. Broadhead/insert weight doesn't matter. 4. You need as much of the total weight to the rear of the arrow. 5. Aluminum shafts are king. 6. It takes 5 minutes per set of 12 to properly tune an arrow. 7. You need to paper tune at 50 yards with a non fletched, pre deployed mechanical broadhead-wielding arrow. I have followed all of your steps to the minute detail and my arrows are travelling perfectly to hit the target exactly how they should. Broadside. Trolling aside though. Very much appreciate all of the hard work you put into your videos, and will definitely be following your videos to get my arrows ready for my first bow hunting excursion this year.

What you're saying in this video makes perfect sense to me. I'm no expert, but you want the fletchings on the Arrow to do as little work as possible. A stable arrow is a stable flight. A stable flight will keep your feet per second at a higher rate, better penetration at Peak Performance. Get the bare shaft as good as you can, and let the fletchings do the micro work.

So many awesome videos lol. K click one watch it, then scroll down and see ten more I need to watch lmao!!

Should have watched this before I started my handload process. Last two days been fighting a tiny tear (about thumb width) and been debating on if I needed to adjust my yokes, or not. Gunna try changing my nock position to see if its that. Thankyou again Ranch Fairy! 🧚‍♂️

Good advise Ranch.

lol I wish this video existed a year ago when I first tried to bare shaft tune my bow a beginner bow hunter. It was definitely one of the most frustrating things I had done in a while. This is the only video I've seen saying it's okay not to be perfect lol. Meanwhile, some other professional archer is correcting for a 1/16in knock high tears in their video. A couple additional suggestions I will add from my experience as a beginner are good strings make this a lot easier over time, make sure your timing is good. Shoot two or three times before adjusting. Also, I figured out aluminum arrows make the initial adjustments a lot easier because you don't have a spine to worry about so if you have some old ones laying around dial down the poundage a bit maybe and give it a try. Then switch to the carbons and knock tune. At least that's what worked for me as a normal human.

Comments on bare shaft tuning were very informative. I'm gonna strip most of my GTs and start over.

Mr. Fairy I got my pointy hat out about 2 weeks ago and started the bare shaft tuning I been shootin 609 grain setups for years so I wanted to move up past 700 maybe 800 my bow now likes 795 grain man oh man I just wanna say thanks for handing me your pointy hat and colabing to make those test kits shooting cut throats 125gn the the brass insert weights and 2413 Eastons with 3in sheild cut feathers lol just let me know who to send the pointy foil hat to next my good man Thanks mr. Ranch rainbow fairy lol 💪💪💪

Maybe your best video! I took me a while, but I did see through the Ken Doll, Body by Venison mentality of the "UBER" bare-shafters. I went from cutting 8 1/2 x 11 paper nearly in half with CHART arrows, to ONCE IN A WHILE bullet holes. WASN't easy...I have at least 2 of every spine from 700 to 250, and a pension contribution worth of Ethics gear and arrow supplies to build within 5 grains of any arrow I design on a 3 Rivers calculator...That's what it takes. RF...Thanks for saving me the trouble, 'cause I had noted a need in the YT bareshaft community to get people out of the weeds, that couldn't see the forest through the trees. I'm too busy for videos, and you and Average Jack are doing just fine, lol. That being said, I went nearly 2 months trying to paper tune a bow that I thought was as tuned as I could get it. THEN, I stumbled across info for how to tune a SINGLE CAM BOW (listen up if you don't already know)...My tiller was so out of whack, that when I fixed it, my nock traveled close to an inch. Take a string and clamp it to the cams, so it runs from axel to axel...This is where you measure tiller from...NUN-CHUCKS OUT!

Bloody brilliance

Im having a similar problem always the same way im getting it looked at next week so hopefully they get it fixed

This is PERFECTLY explained

Ha! I just noticed Ted from THP @ 18:07; that's awesome!

I’m about to take the deep dive with FOC.

Just finished my bare shaft tuning and found that the 275 grain head on my 28.5 inch 300 spine arrow is just right. I didn't use paper tuning but just used the target like Troy does. I then nock tuned them and they were perfect at 10 yards. Ready to buy my dozen arrows! Thanks, Troy for all the great videos!

Glad I came back and watched this. Had a good paper tune. Tried a 20yrd bare shaft and could see my arrows kicking out. Gotta reset.

Just got back into shooting after several years away. Never seen an RF video or heard of RF before. But I’m glad I did and have to say The system worked for me! The Nock high result was the most frustrating. I shoot a biscuit and had to raise the nock point to shoot bullet holes. Maybe I missed in a previous video… RF test kit with 300 Apollo!!!! Onto Single Bevel Broadheads Next…

9:30 that’s exactly what I experienced. bought some Gold tip arrows to set up and hunt with, I’ve had enough of those “tough” yet so delicate FMJ’s. The gold tip arrows are 300 spine cut to 29 1/2 inches with 225 grains (point and insert) up front. I shot a few times just to see how they would fly as I was in a crunch for time. They did pretty well, with a little tweaking to the Nock and making sure my grip was good, they hit the target a little bit nock high but good. I then stripped the fletching off of one of the FMJ that was cut to 27 1/2 ( all the way back to the rest) when I was setup at the shop and shot that. They hit the target sideways so much that I could just about read the branding on the side! It is INSANE how much the fletching corrected the bad arrow flight.

Cam sync and timing is another one to watch for on high an low tears

Modern day Jesus. Im sure God sent us the Ranch Fairy to bring happiness to our lives. Good stuff

Thanks for the advice RF, I called a psychiatrist to try and book an appointment to discuss my bare shaft problems. The secretary was very polite and professional, but informed me the sex therapist was located on the ground floor, room #69 😳

Great opening commentary on dude nature and the havoc it can reek on Joe averages mindset. I will say that over the years (many) it is generally the shop that is causing the problems, when it isnt the manufacturer. Learning to wrench is easy and it is a lifetime skill. Problems are an opportunity to learn.

During this process of bare shaft tuning, I found that my natural rotation on my arrows is left. They were turning about 1/4 turn in 10 yards. I have always used right helical on my vanes but will now go to left helical. Remember to check shaft rotation while BSTing.

Cheers for your video. Did you get your broadheads from Australia yet? Are you going to do a video on them?

Love it! K.I.S.S. method...chill...it takes time to get it right-people shouldn’t OCD about it

Soon I will get back to shooting and set up some magnums. Want to really see the 800 grain flying

One of the common causes of bow torque and erratic arrow flight even from a tuned set up, is shoulder creep in your bow arm. Push the bow away from your body as far as you can, then push it farther.

Hey Ranch Fairy, first off love the videos! Secondly I was wondering what set up you would refer me to for an “adult arrow”. I have a 29.5” draw length, shooting around 55 pounds hunting only whitetail in Northern Wisconsin.

"Not a professional psychological counsellor" ... died.

pretty hard to dis-agree with you

Been watching ur channel, for awhile I have done alot of what ur doing , I shoot trad bows , tunning is still tunning I've had people think I'm crazy cause I like heavy arrows and high FOC I'm 63 years been doing this a long time I like ur presentation of how important arrow flight is . thanks for all ur videos I'm glad there is someone else doing what I have done for many years but not quite as far as testing like u but close, thank u sir for doing what u do, I need 100 grain inserts for carbon arrows could u point me to a place where I could buy some thanks again

Great video man! Question for ya, I have a 32 inch draw length and shoot 70 pounds (I'm a large guy) if I need to step that down I'm all ears. But I've never bare shaft tuned, where would I start as far as selecting an arrow? Currently running 12ish % foc on a 550 grain arrow. Thanks man! Great content.

If anybody checks this video b4 getting started. Your grip and form are absolutely vital in having correct arrow flight. Bow hand torque is a huge issue. Make sure you, yourself, are shooting flawlessly(form) b4 taking your bow to the shop. Most of the "pro shops" won't really help you and will just say it's your arrow weight causing problems

Awesome.

The laugh never gets old 🤣

If you change anything on your bow you must retune! ANYTHING!

🤣🤣🤣🤣!!!!! That was funny but on a real note, you should be a teacher. Man, you're gifted! That was too much. I'm gonna watch that a few more times🤣🤣🤣🤣!!!!

When you are near the finish line. Should you orientate the broad head vertically or horizontal? Blades up down or left right.

First of all, LOVE the channel! I'm curious about loading up 'Man' Arrows for an air bolt gun like the Umarex Airsaber. Would you consider testing for practicality... Any advise much appreciated. Kevin

If you get so aggravated at people asking questions why post vids. BUUUUUTTTTT you are exactly right about all the different people and there ignorance to tuning. I deal with it too man. You just seem very irritated at your own making. Know what I mean Vern. Your funny as shit.

I have never been able to paper tune any of my bows. I use walk back or French tuning and I can get a two inch group at 50 yards. Plenty good enough to win me a couple of chanpionships in the past.

Speaking of using paper, I have a bow I’ve hunted with for years. It shot bullet holes until I upped the arrows to 550. No amount of nock tuning worked on some arrows, fishtailed right. I didn’t want to but moved the rest a little, it improved. Moved it a little more, perfect. So went back to paper to see how bad I screwed it up. Bullet holes. Is it because of the higher FOC the arrow flexes more even though the spine is stiffer? Not sure but it works now. Took my back up bow and set it up for 650 arrows. Same thing. Fish tailed until I moved the rest a touch. Two different bows by 2 different manufacturers. Several different brands of arrows. Some flew worse than others but all now fly pretty well now. I’ve got several different broad head choices I’ve tried on these arrows and so far no major problems. Things are looking good.

What do mean we’re human !? 😂 What do mean We’re not that good !? 😂 Great video thanks man !

Good point "animals don't know they are supposed to die" lol

I started talking to my shrink about bulletholes and what not. They want me on Thorazine. 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

You know, I don’t think most people can take your type of sarcasm because most people don’t like the truth. If you’re going to take the plunge into “Adult Arrows”, I guess you have to make the sacrifice and go all in with an open mind and patience. I haven’t tried it yet but I want to. I like the set up you did for Ted. Those broad heads look awesome.

Its all about shot placement!!!( thats why i use a 6" expandable flap jack...)

What’s funny is us recurve hunters have known what your talking about for years. It also amazes me recurve/compound if your form sucks your not gonna bare shaft tune.

Lol god I love you bro.

I'm not sure if this is where to ask this question but i my bow is a 60lb draw with a 26.5in draw length really short but do you have any suggestions on what arrow, weight, broadhead to start with? Chrono factory arrow and 125gr tip is 250 thanks for the videos

Well does the arrow from the shop have fletchings.......God bless you.

Haha thanks Troy I had the same thing happen with me. All high right , went to the shop three times please swap top hats please swap top hats please swap top hats... no ,no it’s your grip , damnit ok I’ll swap em . Been shooting bullets ever since.

I saw your sharpening video with THP. Can you give me some advice on how to sharpen G5 Montac fixed broadhead 3 blade? Thanks.
