@@ArchersAnonymous-nb4ym I have a video idea with this exact comparison coming up! Thank you for the suggestion!!

Me too there is a whole section that was supposed to be sped up not sure what happened there but. I will try to condense and make it less boring in the future. Thanks for the feedback…. Unless you have insomnia in which case you’re welcome glad I could help! 🤣

Followed up with your email. Thanks for reaching out.

@@WessMaynard351 from my experience I would say yes especially with fixed broadheads it becomes more noticeable. I have some testing planned on this coming up.

Send me an email at [email protected] or reach out on instagram we can chat.

@@geoffader no unfortunately different buckles and I would have to cut the muley freak buckles out or break them to change them they are sewn in.

Glad you enjoyed it! Let me know if there’s any particular topics you’re interested in that I haven’t discussed. Thanks for the support, Lucas

Absolutely, in fact I said in the video, that the test proves and shows nothing. 👍 thanks for watching.

@@danielhoerig2649 check your print setting make sure it says print to actual size or scale at 100% because it’s small printing software likes to scale the image.

@@Lucas_Palmer_bownerd_engineer my printer app on my phone wouldn’t let me change it. Saved the file and emailed to myself. Printed from the laptop and all is good. Thank you!

@@danielhoerig2649 thanks for the update I’ll have to work on suggested apps for printing. my goal is to provide everyone the ability to print tapes. For some that might be library or Office Depot but still an option. Let me know if you have any other issues.

@@joshuaeck2712 I am working on android version should be out in a couple months. 🤞

@@Lucas_Palmer_bownerd_engineer oh OK

Appreciate your support.

@@Lucas_Palmer_bownerd_engineer just printed out some sight tapes to verify what I had selected. This really helped me fine tune my metal sight tape. One suggestion. Give the option for tick marks every 5 yards as every yard is a little crowded. Also love that I can get the tape set up at my elevation and print another for the elevation I’ll be at in September!

@@rrvil awesome glad it was helpful! Thanks for the suggestion I’ll add it to the list.

@@nightvarmint it’s coming I promise.

@@benjamins7799 which HHA do you shoot?

If you can take a couple measurements for me I can add it to the app. I need the diameter of the dial which the sight tape is attached to. The second measurement is the how far 1 pin travels per a full rotation of the sight tape dial.

Awesome, I’ll get that information for you when I get a chance.

I have an HHA optimizer tetra the diameter of the sight tape wheel is 1.677, but it has a couple of tapes on it which are .0035 thick so it could be as low as 1.663. I can’t get it to do a full rotation but did half and the math comes out to 2.365 of pin movement for 1 full rotation. I also have an HHA optimizer lite ultra. The wheel diameter is 1.892 with 1 tape on it so it could be as low as 1.885. 1 full rotation maths out to 1.554 of pin movement.

@@benjamins7799 Thank you very much I added the features to the app, based on your measurements. Updates usually take a day or so to get approved, so you should be able to update tomorrow to version 2.8, which has these sight tapes. Let me know if they appear to matching up or not, hoping to get my hands on more sights soon to add as many as I can. Thanks again Side note if anyone has a sight they would like supported please provide the measurements and I will happy add them!

@@Jsfea01 spin rate does helps to balance out imbalance in the arrow system. Imbalance created by shaft flex, weight imbalance, geometry imbalance, shaft straightness, insert straightness etc. so ideally we want a rapid spin up. However, I have not gotten to the point of determining how much spin is necessary hopefully I can create some guidelines to follow for that. Surface area and where the surface area is relative to the shaft is the most important factor. Thanks for the question.

Thanks for the support, any comments, questions, or suggestions please let me know. 2 months free should still be active until August.

@Lucas_Palmer_bownerd_engineer I checked for it, unfortunately I don't have IPhone, is it, or will it available for Android?

@@SWMissouriOutdoors I am working on the android version. Keeping the cost low by doing it myself makes it take longer. I am hoping a couple months to have it finished.

@@royleerobinson5 correct and change the value listed as “scale adjustment” listed on screen it will be a whole number. I also recently was made aware of a bug when switching between sights specifically from sport high to black gold/linear it does not like to update. However if you click on HHA or one of the other options then back to black gold it will update correctly. Working on a fix right now for that.

@@royleerobinson5 update is now live to fix that issue. Make sure to keep the app updated I add features often any problems please let me know. Take care, Lucas

Awesome! So i live in wyoming and setting up a tape out here is a nightmare witht the wind. Like 5 months ago we were trying to use a rifle ballistic app to do what you did in the video using ballistics indoors to get marks. Have you done more of that and what was your experience?

@@royleerobinson5 I have had a couple individuals try it with good results. However it is very sensitive and easy to be off it is more of a “bore sighting” get you on paper requiring fine tuning. However with the app it becomes unnecessary. You can use the onscreen or printed tape to set pin gaps. A buddy of mine just got a new bow we set it up in about an hr and we’re shooting 90yards without issue. We set the pin gaps to the linear tape option and matched a tape that came with his sight. For curved sight tapes like spot hog you would select a linear tape option to set pins and then Print the tape for the actual sight you are using fast Eddie black gold or whatever. He was hitting a little low at 20 made a slight adjustment and he was dialed from 20-90 with the tape and pins he runs a 5 pin slider. Does that process make sense? I have a bunch of videos I am in the process of making detailing how everyone can do this.

Also you can still do the ballistics method with the free or paid version of this app. You would select the pin you are trying to sight in for example 60yards as the zero, change one of the columns to drop and then shoot at one of the distances 5,10,15, 20 yards and hit the amount high listed on the drop column. However, it's much more accurate to use the sight tape section to set up your sight.

@@bowhunter7922 hey great question no I definitely did not assume constant velocity, I actually built a ballistics calculator based on a study of arrow drag from the Japanese institute of technology which found drag coefficients of an arrow. Fom that I determined the drag per interval from launch to x yardage to determine what would be the downrange velocity. However, some discussion in the video is discussing the two most common arguments of today. Which are energy based penetration estimate vs a momentum based estimate. Neither are accurate which ED Ashby confirmed in his testing as well. I then used the poncelet model of penetration specifically a solution for a non deforming elongated rod to estimate penetration which followed much more closely with EDs results and others. Thanks for your question and support, take care.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for the tip! I appreciate the support take care, Lucas

@@Lucas_Palmer_bownerd_engineer Thanks for the reply, I did have a look at the questions before posting and hadn't noticed that it had already been asked. Unfortunately I don't think youtube always shows us (the viewers) all the comments, which must be frustrating for content providers having to answer the same things over and over.

@@thewhiskybowman Its all good! I don't mind the comments with questions, it helps me to know what I need to explain more next time. I made that comment such that you didn't feel bad for asking since many people thought the same thing. It's a good question to answer multiple times makes the answer easier to find. You are absolutely correct KZfaq does not show all or even in order the comments. Sometimes I miss comments as well and I am supposed to get a notification for each one! Anyway take care and thanks for you support! Luc

@@gowithabow your welcome stay tuned lots more to discuss!

Agree!

Not yet.

I’m trying to figure out a way to incorporate this as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

@@Mr.bowbender I have a short video addressing this question. The fan is pulling air across the vanes so airflow is from top to bottom same direction as an arrow actually experiences. Thanks for the question you and many others have had the same take care, Luc

@@Lucas_Palmer_bownerd_engineer ok that makes more sense. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see more tests.

@@Mr.bowbender thanks for the support. I’ll keep them coming a little at a time!

Thank you! Take care, Luc

Yes absolutely rotation about the tip is different than how a true arrow behaves. Essentially this would be an arrow with 100%foc. However to compare fletchings it’s a fair comparison. I’m working on how to support the shaft from the cg while still allowing it to spin.

Pulling air.

You are correct this is exactly the setup I have as well the fan is pulling/sucking air across the arrow.

@@Lucas_Palmer_bownerd_engineer oh nice! Did you chamfer and de-burr the intake tube’s mouth? Probably would make for very minor discrepancies either way but just throwing ideas out mostly haha

@@tmalonso I did not I’ll give that a try I am also making a large intake cone as well. The flow has very minor turbulence.

@@Lucas_Palmer_bownerd_engineer best of luck with it, great experiment, excited to see more!

I’m working on it but probably a couple months learning kotlin and jetpack compose now. I hope sooner but just depends how long it takes for me to learn.

I’ll look into that thank you for the suggestion.
