It's all about shot placement🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Michael Ficarro There is most definitely truth in that statement. But, I've seen too many times that an arrow deflected. I've long been an advocate of shooting a heavier arrow with a stiffer spine. I'm just happy someone else has been compiling the data that supports my belief.

@@slimjimmy229 no I 110% agree with you, just being funny with what the other side always says..

@Michael Ficarro I have a buddy who always tells me that every year when we're shooting 3D leading up to season. He always dogs my 520gr arrow and trajectory arch on the longer shots. He's also a much, much better shot than I am. Well, I'll tell you that he has called me for help tracking 7 times in the last 10 years.... I've had to call him zero. Enough said.

Thanks for your business.

Its as bad as fishing lures!!!

I just tell mine it’s for filling the freezer 😂

Can you send us bare shaft shooting proof of concept? I've seen this discussed and theorized, but never tested

@@RanchFairy ok, i guess i gotta start a video series. I shoot a 80 pound pse expedite nxt @ 30”, you may not have the same struggle at 60 pounds. I pretty much have to make 250 spines work, i bet your wizard friend can break it down for you as well. Long story short, a 2” insert prevents 2” of the arrow from flexing. It’s not new data and i think you know exactly what i am talking about, just hedging your bets that i dont have time (or desire) to create and edit videos? Or sincerely interested? You have to know im not trying to issue a challenge, i follow you on here and use your content to build my system, except i like a lot of weight. I’m pushing 602 grains 291 fps

@@bryanheimann5370 I think you should start a series. But do know, you are quite out of bounds for the standard guy running normal DW and DL. You are in the 1% and by your comments chipping at "60 pounds" quite ready to measure peckers. So your results will not be typical. If you do your series and lower DL and DW, I bet (remember I mess with a lot of arrow systems) you won't see the same results equivalently to set in stone. But I do know a pile of guys running heavy DW for cape buff and other big nasties in Africa. They don't seem to stand on this one, single, soapbox very long. They focus on the whole arrow and arrow flight. Send me your series and testing link. I'd like to see the results. More knowledge the better.

@@RanchFairy i am confused, are you telling me its no harder to tune arrows for 80 pounds than 60? Or offended by my comment referring to 60 pounds? I am sure yours is bigger, my pecker is just harder to pull. The longer insert definitely helps, it is only part of the system. Geeze

@@RanchFairythe crazy thing about this is i just went from a fan and a follower to wondering if i am going to be the subject of one of your rant videos and thereby publicly humiliated because i disagree with you on one small point under very special circumstances, and i don’t want to spend all my free time trying to create content just to prove a point. I am sure your friends hunting cape buffalo shoot black eagle 150’s, or grizzly stick 170’s, or something from Bishop and the arrows probably weigh 1,500 grains. To be real honest i have thought about switching to a 60 pound resurgence LD so i can build a heavy high foc arrow without any drama, and source all my components locally. But i have been seduced by the power of a fast powerful bow, i have magnumitis and there is no cure. It must run it’s course.

Keep up the chippy comments. I ALWAYS say I use the feeders and pigs to replicate average whitetail distance hunting situations, allowing a ton of shots in live hunting situations, to study ON MEAT arrow performance. You probably missed that by not paying attention. Now, on the unknown distance BS. 1. Between each pin is generally 5 yards (assuming 10 yard increment)......200FPS, 250, FPS, 300 FPS. Your brain gets used to the trajectory and your "guesstimate" if you practice....will be very accurate. (remember, I am OLD, we shot 2018 aluminums and 150 grain broadheads were normal when I started due to lack of weight availability and we whacked all kind of stuff). 2. What do you say to someone shooting 450 grains and they can only pull 50#? Should they just stay out of the field even through they can shoot 50 yards but gaps are more open and trajectory doesn't hit YOUR predisposed "perfect"? If you are philosophically consistent you should say, yes, they should not hunt at all due to lack of speed. But you won't Logic requires introspection of your viewpoint. 3. Your philosophy and my facts will always be at odds. I'm trying to build and study the most efficient killing sticks to fly at critters and penetrate in the most impact points (mistakes will be made by archers and animals can jump the string). You are trying to hit them and hoping it will penetrate. Free country, move on to the group of super archery folks you like to hear from.

87 here!

@@RanchFairy Just a pup! lol

Not true they breath in and out till they die.

About a week or so. And 2024 model is improved !

Thanks for your support.

@@RanchFairy absolutely! Can't wait to share photos of my success with them this season!

We can't keep them on the shelves. When we have excess inventory, we'll add different weights.

Read books much?

@@RanchFairy LOL! I'd like to say our Prime Minister here in Canada also reads but I think he's using it as a manual!

Agreed! They would be on my arrows if they would make them.

Why is left better?

@Anonymous F It's not. I am left handed and started that way with my arrows. All my arrows I fletched left wing.

Me too!

Ditto...

This one is a Swiss army knife, with bleeders or without! Price point is solid.

It is untested formally. All of our kills with bleeders have shown no issues. But there hasn't been anything over 200 pounds and no hard bone impacts. Our blood rings are small...just to address your concerns.

I went through the humerus of the shoulder of a 150 inch whitetail with a 125 grain single bevel iron will with bleeders at 35 yards and had no issues. deer died in sight and was plowing dirt the whole way

Rmsgear cutthroat

@@coltonmerriman1296 Well, they don't have the cut out in the back, they don't have blood rings and as noted. Screwdrivers, tired, pliers, etc. are pretty much the same tool. So, some companies innovate. Some sit around and hope that the same old thing will be a winner. Are they similar? Yep. Except for the differences. Ya think the boys at my competition could have dreamed up anything new?

They do in fact have the cut out on the back just added the blood rings

CTRL + C .... CTRL + V

I love reading these comments. I own both now and side by side they are completely different. The RF ferrule is much bigger in diameter and smooth from tip to arrow. The cutthroat has a very sleek ferrule and then steps up to match the diameter of the arrow. I had a tough experience on an elk with a recurve due to this abrupt step up (I believe). 200 grain cutthroat next to a 200 grain RF, two completely different heads. They are similar only with the cut outs in the blades due to each company trying to achieve a longer broadhead at the given weight. But what do I know

I'd look up dragging deer you tube channel, he did a whole x bow tuning series, and tune the bolts. Or search "Ranch Fairy crossbow". Do that with 200 grain points and you will be happy. They will certainly handle the velocity and impact!

Thank you I appreciate you responding to me and I will be looking into both of them…… Good luck and good hunting!

We had a significant issue with the steel temper, we lost a bunch of heads that will never be sold and had to change it. Put the tower at the highest setting and reset the bevel. Should be about 32 degrees on the precision adjust. The rest of the process is the same.

Hardness is mid 50's RC

@@RanchFairy Thank you.

S 7 was a significant cost increase for limited gain per $.

100% it will work!!!

We had a major tempering issue and would have lost about 50% of the heads. Unfortunately, they told me after they went into the store. Despite that. You can grind the edge down to the highest setting on the Worksharp. Since the edge is now tempered. Put a block of wood (apparently a snuff can works great - one of my subs) under the clamp so you can press down. My apologies.

They are not. I wanted to keep the cost reasonable. It's an excellent steel. The fun thing about steel is if the temper is not correct. S7 or kitchen knife. It doesn't matter. I've been amazed how much that matters.

Appreciate what you do. Thanks for the response.

Then go watch some tough guy with a tan and some tattoos! Whatever makes ya stiff!!

I updated it. Look in the Ordering and Arrow tuning playlist

We are doing a facelift - Spring 2024

So, if you increase the point mass and decrease insert mass you should land at the same place. HOWEVER, and this is a bit of minutea. The increased point mass will very slightly increase FOC, because yes, its more forward. I'd work on perfect arrow flight first before worrying about that. As noted. One piece broadheads have very limited weaknesses at impact. Much better system.

@@RanchFairy crossbow here. I ordered Sirius Phoenix 300 gr. 22 inch bolts and a field point kit and have deducted my 3 hunting arrows out of the lot that fly the best. To be honest the 200 gr. and 300 gr points fly exactly the same with the same point of impact to 30 Yards. Not tried out past that but since the flight and impact mirror each other roughly, I am going to go with the 200Gr. broadheads figuring it will up the speed some. I pretty much keep shots in the 40-50 yard max zone and most are under that. Now it's a question of do these single bevels fly close to the field point, hoping so. Minor adjustments I am sure will get us 'on point' I suspect.

@@jeffhays1968 Heck yeah. Send me pictures this fall! Troy@ranchfairy.com

Not this year.

On the website - Tuffhead side, look for blood rings.

Cuz they dont want the head to loosen and they're too lazy or dumb to loctite their heads on

That is on the list.

Well, I know him very well and he didn't say.

That's great. It's not on a kudu. So I guess we'll be ok.

Move on. There's about 10,000 serious guys with tatoos and flat brims. Freedom!!!!
