I would like to see yall repeat this but test some custom ordered arrows built the same way but have the shop spine index them and then shoot them against your knocked tuned arrow and see how they compare.

This video is Money! I've benn nock tuning for a few years and your breakdown was simple and easy to follow!

I mark my arrows to....a slash with a sharpie for each buck I kill with that arrow. I've got an easton axis 400 with 6 marks on it and going strong.

Good stuff guys! I'm pumped for this season! Goodluck to Yall, can't wait to see some videos!

More bow tuning and in depth equipment videos this off season would be extremely valued!

thanks for the great technique of using slow motion video to analyze how your individual arrow - broadhead - nock combinations are performing. Good luck this fall

I do threw same thing by numbering my arrows and writing it on the odd fletching. Pro tips by Aaron!

Great tips as always! Hyped for this season! 🦌

Probably be the last video I get to watch for a while we have a hurricane coming in the morning and I'm in south east Louisiana so I figured that I'll watch the Hunting public to ease the stress

Great info...been doing that for yrs...it was point on....keep up the great work..

Better to tune and nock tune though paper than watching a video playback. Tells a better story.

Nice quick get ready for season shooting tips video. Now that I recently bought a new bow I have to do that for two bows now, albeit with the same arrows. 🏹🦌

Take a look at 7.56 min mark. The Arrow is flexing/vibrating in the Bow Prior to Release. Obviously effecting flight as well.

Wow great advice and always with good content ...thanks

I got my five hunters marked up and quivered a couple weeks ago. I might check them out slo-mo style, but all indications are that they are flying like darts. Three out of my dozen of Gold Tip Kinetic Kaos were the only wonky ones, but they were super consistent wonky....low and right - I was slinging some Kentucky windage shots with them the other day and stacking them at 38yds. Dudes...i am super pumped for my first bow season! Oldschool public duck chaser going after mature bucks with a bow for the first time. Just pulled a trail cam on some public this morning....and one shot - one pic amid all the false trips, doe, coyotes and hogs - was a really nice tall, heavy eight point. Am ready to have a little sharpening session following y'all's and Ranch Fairy instructions. Did I mention I was pumped? I'm pumped.

I start that process during build. The straightest and most consistent in weight will get marked for later quiver testing. Also for off season, you can make practice nocks with a normal nock and some grub screws or brass all threads screwed in to weight match your lighted nocks. Handy trick when you run out of dead cells. Just take a scale and nock to the hardware store to find the right pitch and length for the extra weight needed.

Awesome tips like this video good work guys

Thanks for the tips

watching thp always gets me excited for archery season

Come on to Ky guys. Bow season opens next Saturday. Great opportunity for a velvet buck. Good luck

Warb, I noticed on release and before the arrow leaves the rest, your grip changes slightly. Right at release your 2 fingers clench by instinct so you won't drop the bow. A wrist sling can prevent this by giving your mind comfort in knowing the bow won't fall if held loosely. Slings let you follow through with the shot and the bow will naturally tilt forward after release. It is a minor adjustment, but every little thing helps. You obviously shoot great already and this is just a suggestion to tweak it a tad further in the off season.

When marking arrows I like to write them down in a notebook and keep notes but one thing I've learned when shooting them is that I like to put numbers on the side of flecthing I cant see that way it doesnt get in my head if I know I have a wonky arrow to try and compensate for it

Great video boys , I shoot all my hunting arrows with my hunting broadheads on and just sharpen them to hunt, I never swap the broadhead from arrow to arrow as this makes a big difference with a 2 blade head , as the broadhead catches the air leaving the bow in a different way , try it , get a arrow shoots say nock high and look at your head orientation if it's horizontal or something similar then screw a head on that sits vertical will normally shoot perfect , that's why I shoot a 3blade head now , got equal plaining sides .🧙‍♂️

Never knew you can tune off the knock I always thought it was my bow. Good to know

Seems like overkill to some I'm sure , but then again , any tuning all kinds of shooting and Always using the Same weight , nocks , broadheads and arrows ! Great advice and cool support having a guy film and watch in slow motion ! 👍

Were you bare shaft tuning or were you Bear shaft tuning? 🥁 🥁💥 Thank you, thank you very much

Awesome video what sight are you using and where can I find these arrows? Thanks buddy

You're not paranoid. You're detail oriented. Nothing wrong with that at all!!

I do the same but I just look at impact at 30 yards. Generally this weeds out the bad ones.

Great demonstration, thanks for the time and effort...But...please educate yourself & others about what 'Archer's Paradox' really is..... The archer's paradox is the phenomenon of an arrow traveling in the direction it is pointed at full draw, when it seems that the arrow would have to pass through the starting position it was in before being drawn, where it was pointed to the side of the target. The bending of the arrow when released is the explanation for why the paradox occurs and should not be confused with the paradox itself. Congrats on your elk...great vid. 👍👍

Opening day elk Sept. 2, unfortunately I only really can hunt the 4th. Work kind of messing with me. But I got some days off and will be hunting hard from the 19th to 25th

What kind of target do your shoot your broadheads in?

I've never been this early before... think imma cry 😢😭😭

Do you align your broadheads to your fletching, or not worry about it once you are nock tuned?

Making the switch to mechanical this year. Picked up some Magnus Stingers and took off the Rage's yesterday

Change your nock out before completely eliminating it. I've seen nocks cause inaccurate arrow flight

Hey Warb , I just bought a bow and I believe it's my yokes but no matter what I do with sights it kicks left badly I literally just bought this bow it's the Fred Bear Ligit. I could use some advice.

Little over 2 weeks to go here in Missouri. Stoked!

Ward what broad heads are you using and what are the weight?

It looks as if there is a house directly behind your target...or is it can you explain this? I mean it's like a basic safety thing? Also test spin your arrows coz some nocks and broadheads aren't aligned correctly.

Nice quiet setup I like it I have been on board with heavier arrows just like em better I have 410 grain arrow that fly great just don't like em prefer heavier 150 grain vpa broadheads

I think you should take a snap pic of every arrow coming off rest (like 6 arrows) and put them together to show the difference

What camera and settings do you guys use to film the arrow flight in slow mo?

Do you have any issue with peep twist?

States for deer tour? Michigan northern lower and upper penesiula? Minnesota boundary land? Louisiana?

Yall need to come to Alabama and hunt bankhead!

It looked like the arrows were 4 flectched and you were making 1/4 turns why didn't you make another turn on the 3rd arrow?

Curious why you didn't try that 4th nock position on the last 2 arrows.

No problems with aluminum!

What slow MO app do you guys use?

What lighted nocks are you shooting with the Apollo’s? I have the Apollo’s as well but haven’t found a lighted nock that fits with them yet? Used to shoot FMJ’s and would use an x nock but have had trouble finding some for the Apollo’s

I know just by saying im hunting with a crossbow in Michigan im gonna get a few cringes and possible negative remarks... so lets get that out of the way now. Last year I used the Bolts given to me with the Crossbow (as a gift). The broadheads were 100 grain and a standard point with 3 fixed blades. The bolt or arrow was only 100 grains as well. After watching a few videos on arrow tuning and whatnot I decided that because my crossbow is a Recurve style, (not an inverted or compound style) that is shoots slower than newer faster bows on the market today. The standard factory specs stated it was 280 fps and 165lb draw. This year I am shooting carbon express 125 grain bolts paired with an Allen chisel point broadhead, also 125 grains(still 3 fixed blades). The new broadheads and using also have an increased cutting diameter of 1/8 of an inch. I have noticed that when it hits the bag it sounds much stronger and really "smacks" hard at 30 yards. Im also noticing I didnt loose much at all if any loss of speed leaving the Crossbow. Any further advice would be greatly appreciated as I am still a new hunter and face the challenges of public land with no private land to hunt. Thank you to any and all that respond I truely appreciate it!

You can get weighted nocks that are damn near the same weight as lighted nocks.

How grains per inch are you using?

Just got done scouting here in PA. found a good buck in his bed. Can't wait for October to come!

How do you deal with the Nockturnals turning on every time you shoot? Do you manually switch them back off after every shot to retain battery?

You got 4 vanes on there warb. Why did you only give them 3 turns/chances when nock tuning?

are you guys running your arrows through an arrow spinner before you cut and fletch them? Sirius makes some pretty straight arrows out the box.

If you build your own arrows you can always float your bare shafts in the bathtub to find the spine of the arrow that way you dont need to nock tune it later.

Felt good being the 900th like👍🏼

No concern for the building? One skipper would penetrate that wall with your setup!!

I mark my nocks where I started. Then if its moved then it's tuned

What fletching is that?

Match grade FMJ are pretty good bro

I wouldn't have even marked the third arrow. Put it aside and keep going. Making 1-5 the ones on the quiver. IMO

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately all of us don't have someone who can or will film us while shooting our bow.

On arrow number 3, I think you shot it where the nock was originally and weren't happy, turned the nock 1/4 turn and still weren't happy, turned the nock another 1/4 turn and was happier, but still felt it was not as good as arrows 1 and 2, so you stopped, set that arrow aside as better but not as good as arrows 1 & 2. Why didn't you turn the nock another quarter turn and try (so it would be 3/4s of a rotation for original position)? From the little I understand, it seems like that was an unexplored nock position that potentially could have been as good as arrows 1 & 2. Am I mistaken?

Can you knock tune a arrow with ony 3 veins on it?

I choose my hunting arrows by how good the fletching looks lol

Hey, guys I would like to buy a doz arrows from ya, but I need assistance with selection, can you help me with that?

great video guys, but I think all of your arrows were flying nock high. I think if you went up to a stiffer spine your tune would come out much better.

You need to bare shaft knock tune

Dont those Apollo Axis arrows all have the spine pre marked on the shaft to make nock tuning done for you?

Heck yeah guy's it's go time, insert tuned my broadheads to my bolts & got them epoxyed in yesterday. Nock tuning after this rain moves out in a couple days. This year I'll be shooting a 2016 TenPoint wicked ridge, with some 20 inch Sirius Phoenix bolts 300 spine, 110 gn inserts & 150 gn cutthroat single bevel. Should be a lethal combo, let's get after em fella's. Going to be an amazing & Blessed season, God Bless y'all & take care!

And that’s why you use 4 fletch

Ranch fairy was here

How old were you watching when you went to school?

Why aren’t you shooting the thp arrows?

Buy Easton FMJs or Axis arrows and build them yourself.

I bought 2 angle brackets, a 10 dollar dial Indictator. a 1 Kg weight, 2 eye hooks, a 3/8" in stick of wooden dowel, wood glue, 2 part adhesive. and a 1/4"×1" blot and nut. And a 2 ft 2x6 and made my own spine tester. I find the strong side of my arrow and fletch my arrows with the cock vein on the strong side of the arrow on every arrow. way more accurate and way easier. I can spine and fletch a dozen arrows faster than I can knock tune them all. it costs me about $30 between Amazon and home depot to make this arrow spine tester they usually cost 300 bucks online

It comes with quality. You get what you pay for. If you buy a .006 straightness dont expect .001 straightness accuracy. Also having an arrow perfectly square on both ends can make those .006 arrows so much better. If spun and cut properly you can turn a bad arrow into a pretty darn good arrow. Something that can help fix having to go in the yard and chance losing an arrow shoot your arrows a 3ft 7ft and 11 ft through paper if you wanna be super anal and it can really eliminate any issues with broadheads moving forward. Peace of mind is great!

Mine are either over or under spine tails wobble pretty bad 😡🤬

7:57 is that arrow flexing?

Don’t know how you shoot with your quiver on. Can really see in the slow mo how it pulls your bow over to that side.

You're NOT paranoid about lighted nocks affecting flight... My lighted nocked arrows shoot about 4 inches lower than regular nocks.

If you would bare shaft

When we gonna see a western ny public land bowhunt from thp

How many arrow videos can you actually do ?

2nd

5th

Another thing that helps with 2 blade broadheads is orienting them the same on every arrow. Some two blades fly better flat some fly better vertically aligned sometimes you might have to do the same thing as the nock and rotate it slightly to find how that broadhead, bow, and arrow combination shoot the broadhead best. To be able to orient the broadhead the way you want buy small rubber o-rings, then you can screw them on and rotate them how you want and they are still tight on the arrow. All my broadheads are oriented flat that’s just the way my longbow and arrows like to shoot that particular head some broadheads I shoot they like vertical. But having the broad head turned the same every time definitely makes a difference. Honestly more of a difference than the knock in my opinion. I can’t imagine that a carbon arrow has that much difference in spine that turning the knock would make a huge difference but it did seem your arrows got slightly better when you made the adjustment. Turning the broadhead is just another way to make your arrows more consistent.

Your turning the natural spine of the arrow. Next time find the natural spine before fletching them. With both ends of arrow shafts sealed. Dunk them in a bath tub. Let them float until they stop spinning. The side facing down is your natural spine. Then fletch your vertical vane directly on that mark. Set knock with that vane at 12 o'clock. Your broadhead should aliment exactly the same also. If not...heat and turn insert until the blade are all the same. For 2 blades. Lay them at 9 and 3 o'clock. I guarentee you wont have problems with strays. If they shoot erratic. The shaft is not consistent.

Third

That's why I shoot victory arrows,they spine align all of there arrows,so there is no need for nock tuning.

First

Why are you dropping your bow forward? You are forcing that movement even though your bow is tilting back.

Looks like you need to work on your string/peep site. Doing all the work on your arrows won’t help one bit if you can’t see through the peep when you draw! You shouldn’t have to twist the string like that before each shot.

I love watching guys spend 25 bucks an arrow to elk hunt add weights wraps etc when you can shoot an aluminum arrow for 8 bucks and get 500 grains without trying with 125 grain head

Shoot bullshit arrows get bullshit results- victory arrows come spined and marked from factory build them right and it’s done . Or on cheaper arrows just spine test and mark them your self using spine tester , throw out the bad ones
