Great video. You actually tested his theories, not just discredit his thinking . Troys videos were the first videos I watched when I started building my arrows a few years ago. As a western state hunter I couldn't do the 550+ arrows. I settled on 504gr at 14.2 foc. I took things from RF, MFJJ, Aaron Snyder and built a arrow to suit my taste out west. The fact that the RF challenges conventional archery thinking and makes people loose there minds makes me like the guy.

The heavier arrow comes into play when you hit bone. That is going to happen someday. Shot placement is very important, but the animal may change the shot even on speed setups. That said, shot the heaviest arrow you can with the trajectory that is acceptable to you with the best quality broadband you can afford and make sure it is as sharp as you can get it. Let it eat.

I think the biggest takeaway here is the fact that you took the time to properly sharpen your broad heads, a razor sharp head reduces drag and increases hemorrhage(the main reason animals die from archery). Arrow weight arguments will never be settled but know one can deny that a razor sharp head kills faster and penetrates further. To me this is the most important factor and unfortunately too many people don't take the time to ensure that this is done before heading to the woods. In my experience a well balanced arrow with a scary sharp head on the end of it has never failed me.

Hands down arrows leaning around 500 gr and cut on contact broad heads are the winners. You made excellent points in your close, it comes down to knowing your equipment and practicing in hunting scenarios.

I lost a big deer due to him being a little quartering to and getting like 3 inches of penetration. I was shooting 384 grs with a shwacker. My local shop is all about speed. So, they push those types of arrows with lower GPI. I started building own arrows and went to the extreme and now have the balance I want.

I also went heavy last year for my crossbow, but I think one of the major steps was learning about nock tuning.. New shafts were nock tuned and used a heavy single bevel. Two large Kansas deer down within 40 yards and easy blood trails with pass throughs. Your comments about accurate ranging were right on the money. Works very well for short range hunting.

I was glad this video showed up in my feed. I met Troy in April. I won the Hog Hunt raffle he promoted for the Ashby Bowhunting Foundation. I met Rob Nielson the current president of the foundation. I also met Jeremy Johnson... one of, if not the best archery elk hunters in the country... i also got to meet the Doc himself. After spending 4 days with these guys, i got to review the Natal Study by listening to docs stories. Picking his brain was like entering a whole new world. I've been shooting 550gn single bevel for years after having some tough recoveries with a Sevr. Troy inspired me to start a channel. I'm currently following docs arrow build, including vane tuning... something nobody does. I've got the build on the channel. 655gn, 27.2% FOC and these things fly like absolute lasers out to 95 yards. IN HEAVY WIND!!! I've never had an arrow that shoots so well. I cannot wait to put it through an elk this september. Troy is ridiculously smart, and genuinely wants to help people be more successful. If people were more open minded, and actually tried it like you did, they would be pleasantly surprised. Good video and review, man. I'm giving you a sub.

First off, 4 of the top 5 items in the Ashby reports are addressed in selecting the proper equipment (look at Grizzlystiks tapered arrows with extreme FOC & structurally sound designs using single bevel Samurai broadheads of razor sharp 440C stainless steel. Their setups cover all of these incredibly important issues). Arrow flight is therefore the only item that archery hunters need to focus on once the right arrow shafts/inserts & broadheads are chosen. This is assuming you have a decent bow that can deliver consistently accurate & properly spined & straight arrows out of. Then you can choose the arrow weight based on your quarry. For example, elk-sized game & above need more penetration power than do javalina or coues whitetail in Arizona, so a 650gr. build is more appropriate for the larger game like elk etc. Virginia whitetails can & do get big, so a heavier than light arrow setup is more appropriate for them, but perhaps not as heavy as elk-sized or larger game should be hunted with. The rest is up to the shooter being an accurate shot & then the equipment to take proper care of the meat!

I’ve harvested 4 deer with an Easton sonic/ 50 grain brass insert and 100 grain g5 dead meat. Nocturnal nocks. Shooting a Hoyt rx7 64 lbs 28.5 draw total arrow weight was 412, 4 deer shot at 4 dead deer. 4 pass through shots 37 furthest shot closest 18. Not one deer went passed 100 yards. Troy is passionate but overbearing to say the least. I like blood trials i will stick with what works for me.

Back in the seventies, heavy arrows and fixed broad heads were about all that was available . I have better results with expandable broad heads and arrows with 100 grain inserts . Arrows shafts around 8 grains per inch. Blood trails are better on average although not normally necessary because most I watch or hear fall. Adding front of center weight and good arrow flight will improve the performance of all broadheads.

You hit the nail on the head in many aspects. Listen if you are having huge space gaps in your setup going heavier you are entering or are in diminishing returns. Ashby is awesome Troy is awesome we are not killing Cape buffalo and rhino or elephant in North America. Moose is the toughest we got. Do not put your setup into diminishing returns. Eds study has one major take away that’s always missed. Go as heavy as you can with a trajectory that is still suitable for you. The kinetic energy machine determines the sweet spot. Compounds, recurve, long bows, crossbows all variations with different draw lengths ect ect will have different sweet spots but they all be the same in respects to numbers. 250-290 +/- 10 or so fps 0.6-0.8 slugs of momentum 95-110 ft/lb KE If you are in this range you are perfect. Speed matters ke matters momentum matters having a super slow projectile with low ke and high momentum is just as useless as stupid fast high KE and low momentum. The pin gaps and or chevron gaps let’s you know if you are doing something right or wrong. My crossbow has higher spaces with lighter arrows than it does with 520 at 600 plus things get really wonky so I use 520. 350 is really fast but that drop is just as fast at 50 yards and has no momentum and it hurts the crossbow as well shoulders lol. My recurve 600 is absolutely no problem and it’s a 50 lb while the crossbow is 200lbs. Let the machine tell you what it wants to eat.

A couple of points I need to make. I shoot Prime compounds & recurves. The one thing in common is the Blackeagle X-Impact's. The Victory VAP TKO'S also work but I shoot the Valkyrie Centerpin system. The inserts/outserts r specifically designed for the X-Impact's. My compound is @ 63 pounds with a 30" draw length. 250 spine X-Impact with 570 grain total weight with 22.50% FOC & a Valkyrie short Jag which is 210 grains with a 60 grain component that the head screws into. Same setup with the recurve. But the # is 52 &,the 400 spine arrow is 495 grains with 27% FOC. The bare shaft tuning with this setup is incredible. I can say that the Bloodtrail is ridiculous & that short Jag just keeps going with a much better Bloodtrail than a single bevel. 30 years ago the NAP was similar. They had the sharpest blades but the design only gave great internal bleeding with very poor Bloodtrails. The Valkyrie 3 blade busts through bone like a single bevel but it also cuts & doesn't dull until the shaft stops deep into a log. My only research has been on large MN deer. I am a farmer & I can't travel. Thanks for the video & your breakdown. I'm glad u r able to go from state to state. Keep it up. That past doe by the way iis exactly the spot that I call an Aortic Blast. Nowhere near the spine but totally lethal. I will take that shot from a 🌳 💯 % of the time @ close range quartering in.

I'm just now seeing the failures in the field that should be driving the change to these "adult arrows" as the fairy puts it. In the end hunt with whatever makes you happy. Who cares what anyone else thinks or is using. I'll stick with a low to mid 400 grain set-up and a quality expandable.

Complelety agree! I would argue that the blood trail from an expandable is a very important part of the equation.

The deer definitely die but if you're hunting thick stuff its just not awesome.

Completely agree with you. I killed about two dozen deer the past two falls with a 450ish grain arrow and mechanicals. Not a single arrow didn’t 100% pass through. 74# bow, 29” draw length, and tuned bareshafts to 30 yards before putting the grim reapers on the leading end. I’ve been down the heavy rabbit hole and the odds of hitting a shoulder knuckle only increased due to the larger pin gaps. Even then, that telephone pole with a tiny fixed head out front didn’t go through a knuckle.

One thing I want to point out, that most misinterpret from Dr. Ashby's reports, and has been discussed on Ranch Fairy... is that Arrow Mass is item 6, but heavy 650 grain arrows are item 12. Basically, item 6 is to be interpreted as "have enough mass, to capture your bows energy, and get the job done" Item 12 is "if you encounter heavy bones, 650 grain is required to have a near guarantee of pass-through" Nowhere does it say you must shoot heavy arrows... only that IF you encounter heavy bones (spine, scapula, etc.) ...but especially on large game like Elk, Moose, Bear, Bison. This is why I want to see modern equipment used for an upated Ashby Report. If you check 11/12 boxes with a super fast, expandable setup, of top-quality construction, and descent mass... I think you'll be fine as long as you don't need to shoot a cape-buffalo in the shoulder. Great video, and I love Dr. Ashby's research and interviews!!!

As a bowhunter and a former guide I say - Whatever you do, experiment and do what works for you, your budget, your hunting environment, the game you are going for, your skill set and your equipment. Heavier set ups tend to be more forgiving on impact. Lighter set ups tend to be more forgiving with accuracy. There are pros and cons to both setups and I have seen both fail epically as a guide. I was not guiding in a state that allowed mechanicals at the time so I have no comment on those but when you are looking at your set up you have to really put every thing together. For me I only hunt hunt with a R/D Longbow and my arrow set up shooting out of a 52# bow with my draw length is a 621 Grain Total with 19 % FOC . Shooting 3 Blade VPA 200 grain heads, 100 grain inserts with AAE PHNX Hybrid vanes. I break several "rules" with traditional. Shooting "vanes" designed for traditional and shooting off a rest but I dont really care because I like it. With my set up I am going for a slight drop in my gaps because I need to have shorter point on and shorter gaps just to improve my aiming. For a guy that shoots only instinctive it becomes more of an issue with what trajectory the archer likes seeing. I also hunt in pretty dense and wet areas so my shooting lanes are shorter. I have never shot at anything over 30 yards.

However at the end of the day it came down to "Are you confident? Does it do the job? " I can tell someone that 4 blade bleeders are not great for 15 yard shots out of a tree in rain conditions in dense green forest because I have seen that set up fail so many times but if that set up is what puts the arrow in the deadly V then that is what you need to use.

When you hunt deer in the woods, and not over a feeder or food plot, youre not getting a shot past 40 anyways. Side note, watch troy and rocketmans research on kinetic energy at distance. A heavier arrow has less energy loss at 60 yards, than a light arrow. Its just facts, and unfortunately too many people cant accept they might be wrong

Big fan of Troy and his knowledge! I switched my set up for both my compound and traditional bows based on his research and the Ashby studies. First deer I killed with that set up and I was sold! Troy knows what it takes to kill animals and every bow hunter should consider lethality (which includes accuracy) over everything else. Quick and ethical kills is the goal!

Great bucks! None of those hits really tested the arrow setup tho. Shots straight through the ribs like that don’t take a ton of energy to get a pass through. I tend to shoot on the heavier side simply because most of my shots are close (average for my last ten bucks is 9.8 yards) and I like to shoot them far forward in the vital V. I’m also not afraid to take a 1/4 to shot and put it in front of the shoulder (at close range of course). A heavier arrow and solid fixed blade works great for those types of shots. I will say that if someone tends to hit farther back (we all have that buddy lol) a bigger head is better in that situation. I think a good middle of the road setup at around 550gr with a solid fixed blade is a great setup for whitetail. With the longbow I like to be over 600gr. I shot a doe through both shoulders with a 630 gr arrow and VPA single bevel and it buried to the fletching and she was down inside 60 yards.

I would expect all these kills would have had the same results with a lighter set up. I went this way for two years and went back to the 425gr with a good fixed head. I shot 60 ls and 27" draw. The 550 arrow i was shooting was devastating to my trajectory. Resulting in high hits and deer ducking the arrow more than normal. I thing broad head design and sharpness play a huge roll. A good fixed head on a 400 gr arrow to be a good balance for myself.

Good job! 15% foc is right at the bottom of what Troy recommends though. Most of the Australian arrow company’s arrows have about 60g outserts. So this, even with a 125g broad head gives reasonable foc. Took 2 Billy goats with one shot, complete pass through both when I switched. Van Diemen single Bevel. I find it hard to believe you guys shoot piss ant 100g fancy broad heads on just a 10g insert at game like deer!

Usually what i recommend when someone asks for advice for arrows is to at least consider RF. “Adult arrows” do work and are definitely worth trying but i will never, ever, tell somebody that RF arrows are end all be all and anything else is wrong. I used to be on the RF bandwagon and i ended up leaving. I saw some very cultish things in that group and decided i couldn’t support it. I’m not gonna be part of a cult where some of the members think they have final say in what arrow build somebody shoots.

Whitetails within 20 yards, doesnt matter. Considering The Ranch Fairy doesn't tune his bow, his arrows aren't flying efficiently from the jump, so he has to over tune his arrow and make it weigh ridiculous amounts to absorb all of the bows shortcomings. Dont snort the fairy dust.

I’m new to bow hunting myself, but I spent some time prodding people on archery forums about the RF setup. I learned quickly that RF haters often make two distinct claims. First, deer will jump out of the way of your slow arrows. And second, no arrow will penetrate shoulder consistently. Weight doesn’t matter. Another common theme I’ve noticed is the people who make these claims shoot sub-500 with mechanical broadheads exclusively. Yet the people who shoot 500+ with SB heads constantly prove them wrong. I’m not saying 500+ SB heads are the only way to go because I have no authority to do so, but I am saying that people will make claims about things they know nothing about! And I plan on switching to 500-550 gr SB heads myself after watching a 100gr COC head fold on contact with a rib in a perfect broadside shot and fail to pass through

I killed my Canadian elk with a 48lb recurve and a 635g arrow build, 200g two blade broadhead at 19 metres. Frontal shot, arrow penetrated totally. Elk swapped ends and went 25 metres and crashed. I personally don't care about trajectory as even with my Compound bow I'll not take shots longer than about 45 metres.

I'm not going to say RF is right wrong or good or bad I will say Ive killed over 50 deer using my current set up (down from 70lb DW and and a slightly but not a significantly heavier arrow) what would be by RF standards a "lite arrow" at 450 grains W/FBBH shot at 58lbs DW with a 28.625" DL at 265fps I do exercise extreme care to take only high percentage shots with the best chance of hitting both lungs best honest guess would be about 80-85% of my arrow hits are pass through rest stay in the deer My recovery rate on shot deer is over 90% I PERSONALLY do not see absolutely anything I will gain by going to a significantly heavier arrow in exchange for loosing 25-35fps from my arrow speed making judging distance MUCH more critical I use good FBBH'S I sharpen before use to absolutely as sharp as possible and tune my bow well and keep my shots to 40 yards and under Again there is in my opinion nothing I stand to gain by shooting a heavier arrow much slower than a moderately lighter arrow faster. Longest shot I ever took on a mature buck was 41 yards buck was dead broadside arrow cut half way through and broke a rib on its way in and broke a rib on its way out and still went a full foot into the frozen dirt I do not know what more penitraition I need than that That buck the largest body weight deer I ever killed that my butcher weighed at 277lbs field dressed went exactly 51 yards after the shot

Got a double lung pass through at 52 yards with my v3x 33 at 65# this season on a nice buck In an open field. 525 grain micro diameter arrow with a sevr 2.0. I’ve killed many deer with the exact arrow setup between 60-70# on multiple bows with zero issues. It hits hard and crushes bones. Sure a fixed blade would do the job better but I’ve been using sevrs for years and practice with em at multiple ranges so I know exact arrow flight and with the results I’ve gotten out of em I probably won’t change anytime soon. I’m not positive the fps of the older bows but I would think you’d be alright. Whitetails aren’t hard to get good penetration on unless you hit shoulder blades. Even in that case I shot a buck a few years back at 60# 27.5 draw with a Hoyt vector and I was using a rage hypodermic with around a 415 grain arrow at 30 yards and it went through the shoulder being a double lung shot and the arrow stuck in the offside shoulder. No pass through but the deer didn’t make it 50 yards before piling up. Ranch fairy’s testing is primarily done on hogs with thick skin and he usually only tests with fixed blades. From my findings a heavier arrow even with sevrs still get optimal energy and penetration vs a lighter arrow with a fixed blade. Which is why traditional guys shoot heavy arrows. The extra kinetic energy definitely helps but there comes a point where I feel heavier arrows aren’t needed like say over 550 grains for a whitetail. Most whitetail guys I’d say use 425-475 grain arrows give or take to get the best mix of kinetic energy and not have tons of arrow drop. I’m sure there are kids out there running sevr 1.5s with lighter draw weights because they will still open with lighter draws from only being held shut with the rubber bands but having good FOC definitely comes into play also. They even market them for lower poundage/ short draw users. Something I’ve actually used for brodhead testing before was an elk shoulder blade that I purchased at a farm and home store marketed as a dog chew to see how much penetration I’d get based off of different brodheads. You may be able to do something similar if you’re skeptical.

Kill a few thousand animals, from feral pigs to elk, and everything in between, with everything from recurves to compounds, vertical and crossbows, mechanical and fixed. Come back in 5 years, 10,000 animals compile the results. I don't think RF is wrong, just incomplete. Tech has come such a long way that I wouldn't be surprised to see velocity play a factor once you get to the blazing fast setups we see today. That said... Dr. Ashby spells out his test meticulously... and any big-name archery company could do it, in partnership with no less than a dozen different companies... so why haven't they? All I know, is someone is hiding something, and the only truly transparent studies ever done, were what Dr. Ashby did. Outstanding video!

I started shoot "adult" arrows as Ranch Fairy calls it many years before he discovered it 😂 I have hunted with bows since 1986 and I have shot more than 400 big game animals with a bow. During all those years I have tested a lot of "fashions" in archery and bowhunting that have come and gone and I have tested much that no one or very few talked about as well. There have been so many lies, myths and hypes that have been pushed by the industry with the use of so called pro hunters. And "Pro hunter" totally stupid term in my opinion. Most of these "pros" are no better hunters or know more than VERY many other hunters. Many of them shooting 200+ whitetails almost every year and claim they have been wild and free ranging bucks... Can you have success with shooting fast light arrows and mechanical broadheads? Yes, you can, but either you will be in situations where you can't take a shot that you could take with a heavier arrow with a single bevel broadhead, or you risk it and in many cases end up with a wounded animal that will suffer for many hours before you find it, you don't find it at all. I use a setup that in reality is overkill for most situations on deer, but I do most on my hunting on the ground by still hunting or stalking, and I want as setup that smash through most bones in a deer. I also hunt animals that are larger than deer in different parts of the world, and I want a setup I can use for almost everything without the need to do anything with my setup. I started to use heavier arrows with higher foc in 2006 and ended up with similar setups to what I use now in 2012. Up to 2012, I still for the most part used 3 and 4 blade coc broadheads, but after 2012 I almost only use single bevel broadheads. Now I have a 70lbs bow with a 32" DL and I shoot arrows that are 650 grains, 15% foc and the arrow speed is 260 fps. The trajectory of the arrow is much better than most think it is and I have no problems at all to shoot long shots and to gap shoot as well. And my setup is VERY well tuned with a VERY good arrow flight. This is VERY important for optimal penetration. With that setup, have I only experienced full pass throughs with the arrow in or on the ground. That on animals as big as moose and eland. I have shot through the scapula on many animals and I have shot through the humerus as well on multiple animals and still had full pass throughs. The "famous" humerus that some "pro" hunters claim is indestructible on deer and impossible to shoot through with bows. I don't want to use a setup that limits me as a hunter when it comes to what shots I can take and still kill the animal quickly. I don't want to use setup where I need to be worried about my penetration. I don't want to use a setup where I am so scared of hitting the shoulder, that I aim so far back that I risk hitting the guts as I see so many hunters do on videos and I have experienced when helping other hunters tracking their gut shot deer. I am NEVER worried about the shoulder of the animal when I take a shot as I know my arrow will penetrate enough to kill the animal quickly, even if I hit it. I am not saying at all that a 650 grain arrow or heavier is needed for deer, but I highly recommend minimum a 500 grain arrow and even better a 550 grain arrow with a foc of 12-17% and at least a some sort of coc broadhead, but a single bevel is even better in my opinion. 1 1/2 years ago my daughter when she was 14 years old, shot a bull elk at 27 yards with a 40lbs 26" DL bow, 500 grain arrow and a single bevel broadhead and she had s full pass through where she hit the top of the heart. The bull moved about 20 yards before it dropped. Sorry for the long essay 😁
