If you don’t have one, get one. I’ll never shoot another bow without one installed.
Already got mine and love it!!
i realize I am kind of off topic but do anybody know a good website to stream new tv shows online ?
@Xander Kristopher Try flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Ahmad Davis yup, have been using Flixzone for months myself :)
I can picture my wife's face when she walks in with groceries and I'm shooting my bow through the house! Great explanations on the tuning!
Blaine Boutte you are so right
His wife does it with him
He put one through a window once and she wasn't happy. Very entertaining though.
my wife holds my camera and quiver as I shoot in the house my 2 yr old retrieves the arrows. now now. my targets get upset though. all in fun.
Blaine Boutte I got in trouble for shooting a my baret 50 call of my porch let alone my Martin max 33 that shot threw metal door in the house
Anybody else notice the kitten poke his head around the door just before his shot at 12:06?? Haha😂🤣
that cat was like ohhh shit i'm in a bad spot xD
maybe its a cat that he doesnt like that much
That cat tells all the other neighborhood cats that his hoomans have these strange birds that fly through their house. They're really long and skinny and fly so fast you can't see them pass by you. The other cats are like, pfffft. They all think he's making it up. 😂
I waa gonna commebt the dame thing but isnt a dog?
I was just looking for this comment and knew I would find a couple😂😂😂
I think you just taught me more about tuning my bow than the last 50 videos I’ve watched put together...
Don't even know how I got here, but now I want to learn how to bow hunt and this guy's videos are gonna teach me.
It's really fun you should try it. Just remember it takes a lot of practice 👍
cashmerecardigan do it man, bow hunting is life changing. Even just going out and shooting is a blast on its own.
I had absolutely no clue that people took bow hunting this seriously.. Keep it up man.
He's about to hunt the most dangerous game animal on the planet with a bow and arrow so he ought to take it seriously lol.
Lol! "Don't touch the arrow it needs to be on camera!" Classic!
No one: KZhead recommendations: 900 GRAIN DEATH DART Me: KZhead wtf, I have never watched a video about hunting bows before
And now you’re hooked. 900 grains is way more than even Joe Rogan shoots lol. Bowmar is a SAVAGE!!!
@@Vohtwomax Do you know the purpose of grains as per a measurement with arrows ? Why would it matter what Joe Rogan shoots. (Yes I know he shoots). I just dont see the relevance
@@friendlyoldbum9182 oh yeah, I know the purpose and it absolutely doesn't matter what Mr. Rogan shoots other than the fact that his arrows are about 800 grains each and Bowmar's are even heavier. Just thought it was beast mode is all. 👍
@@Vohtwomax Its just wild drawing 80+lbs. Strong bastards. My bows are all around 60lbs and I get sore while out all day. But I guess while hunting you don't draw the bow 100 times that day.
@@friendlyoldbum9182 yeah, I just had a new bow set up and I've got 70 lb limbs and figured I'd max it out. You're totally right, it's only the one shot that counts. I can't even imagine pulling 80-90 lbs.... My shoulder already hurts lol
When you go to the gym only to be able to take out the arrow from the test room's foam
Lol I might have to do this😂 My club has these very hard buts and I'm pulling 70 lbs 31.5" draw but I'm not strong enough to pull them out. I have to use thoses rubber things they make for this.
One of the best tuning videos I’ve seen, great job
Amazing video gave me a lot of knowledge on tuning my bow!
I learned a lot in this video thank you
REally enjoyed watching all the specifics of tuning. Great video . Subscribe to all your stuff.
Wow my head is spinning with all the Great Info!!👊
Fantastic audio/voice quality. I'm wearing headphones and it sounded like I was in the room lol.
Wow very impressive!! Good luck guysband can’t wait for that video!
I love how he just casually shoots in his house
my wife isn't too happy about it haha
Perfect setup,tune,and job! Succes is guarantied
I’ve never seen a bow tuned this way. Typically we set center shot on the rest and never touch it again. Very interesting, always good to see other methods of tuning!
I learn something new in every one of your videos.
Great informative video guys! Thanks for your efforts in these.
Every time you drop that bare FMJ on the table it sounds like a schedule 40 pipe!
I can hear our convo now... Sarah: "what's wrong with my car?" Josh: "nothing, I just need the hood for a video" My wife and I are also Sarah and Josh.. similar convos have DEF transpired... 🤣😄
What a beast of a setup! Can’t wait to see the hunt film. 👍
Pete Larson hopefully we get one!
the cat when he shoots at the green dot!!! hahahahahaah
I wish I was that good on working on my bow etc and shooting truly amazing great video
Interesting tuning video! Learned a lot. greetings from danish bowhunters!
The boom when the arrows hit the hood 😳🤙
it was crazy loud!
Dude, your traps are on point.
This man is an artist
Got yourself a new subscriber my man. Dope video 🤙
thank you! hope you enjoy our content
Mate Your a Beast!!!💪💪Awesome video brother👌
Sweet setup Subbed. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That is insane!!
That house is huge 😳
Honestly I watch this video moreso just to see the tuning process. I already reload my own ammunition, but I've always been interested in bow tuning.
Da-Um! OK, this is a Most Excellent, Professionally Filmed, Informative, Educational Archery Video! I don't think you left out one detail. I believe, if you get a good, still, broadside shot placement, there's no doubt, it will be a complete pass through. Even if you hit shoulder bone, it's going to be absolutely devastating to Ole Black Death. But, Dear God, be ultra careful (Double Back Up Rifles). Can't wait for the footage! OMG! This is extremely exciting! I'm a new subscriber, fo sho. God bless brother! Got you in my prayers.
Absolute beast!
Wow that's crazy power
Man when I need that little kick in the ass inspiration to get out and practice for deer season you guys are second only to Tim Wells. Keep up the great work!
Mate, your setup seems serious but, please don't underestimate how tough, enormous and dangerous cape buffalo are, there are plenty of videos of them soaking up multiple shots from big bore safari calibers and keep on going for miles,please have a guide backing you up with a stopping rifle or it may be your last hunt. I'll stay tuned for the hunt! Cheers
Arrows and bullets are completely different, bullets get absorbed by flesh way easier. Plenty of videos with arrows dropping cape buffalo, they usually just stumble around wondering what happened before dropping.
@@T-DsGaming Hey mate, I am aware that arrows are very effecient killing tools, but what I was saying was when you shoot the buffalo if you get noticed and charged by him, bows and arrows would not be sufficient to stop a charge. Look up 'Death at my Feet' here on KZhead to see what I mean by that. Cheers.
@@nickulvatten1039 Don't need to look up, I'm very well aware of what they can do. The good thing about a bow and arrow is they are silent, they don't even know what hit them. Plus like you said, I have never seen a cape buffalo hunt where the guides didn't have back up guns so he should be fine. I also look forward to the hunt.
@@nickulvatten1039 I agree with your comment, but furthermore, I've been on YT for over a decade, and you're the first to bring up Mark Sullivan. In my opinion, it's some of the best hunting footage that's ever been recorded. There's snippets on YT. He has other videos as well, and his wife is active here on YT if you visit their channel. Thanks for reminding me what I'll ask for on Christmas!
@@T-DsGaming King, Nick is giving you a gift. You might as well do yourself a favor, and look up "Death at my Feet". I can't recommend his videos highly enough. The guy, Mark, is as real as it gets. Only shoots animals that are charging him.
Thats what i use on all my game Bone breakers not acupuncture pins
Check the straightness of those arrows after the hood shot. Then get a full carbon arrow. The full carbon will retain its straightness were the aluminum/carbon will not because the aluminium will hold the bend
Very very true, that's why I shoot Gold Tip
@@jonnydupuis2041 I don't like gold tip because of their slogan. And I honestly believe victory has a much better arrow
@@cdp50359 everyone I know shoots Gold Tip for the most part lol.., I know a couple pros who shoot em and they think they're the best🤷🏻♂️.., however, I do respect your opinion and will look into Victory as well
Thank you very much I got a wealth of information about tunning a strong bow and using super dupper arrows. A very good informative movie, keep them coming, please. The 5 mm FMJ Easton arrows is what I use for hunting. I love Hoyt and I planing to purchase an RX3 just for watching your video. BTW I own a Spyder Turbo that is awesome.
Some serious carnage for sure!
Great video! Way beyond my bow hunting skills as I’m new to it. Only been on a hunt twice and still have yet released an arrow. I’m in love with the sport though. Been to Africa and seen these giants up close. One charge our vehicle! The closer the horns curve into each other can determine the age.
Hey man, what is the brand of arrow square you are using?
Fascinating.
I've hunted with bows for over 35 years, and I never knew 90% of this stuff. Thanks!
Really great video! There are so many great tips. Thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome John thanks for commenting!
Thanks! My pleasure!
Thanks! My pleasure!
Thanks! My pleasure!
Thanks! My pleasure!
AWESOME VIDEO BRO !!! JOB WELL,,,,,,,,,,DONE !!!
thank you!
Good tuning method, explained clearly, would go 4mm I reckon, for buffs ur going to want it deep, it’s tough.
Biggest advantage is the ethics steel insert. The FMJ hidden insert system is a terrible design, means the end of the shaft takes all the impact force and will deteriorate much quicker than solid steel or brass. Plenty of stories of the fronts splitting open on hard bone hits.
Good tuning man
"got the hoyt redworks rx3" and my inner self twitched at the over $1,500 bow with all the other stuff to go along with it cause im just a poor sumgun
Just Some Salty Boi just keep saving an you can buy one one day, they are worth it. That bow will last your entire life and then some. Buy once cry once kinda thing haha.
Dude 86lbs that's pretty crazy, as the bladesmith Doug Marcaida says "It will kill". I can shoot 50 or 60 lbs recurves and it serves what I hunt so far, as well there's no let-off like a compound has. So if you imagine an avg English Long Bowmen would normally practice between 90-150lbs with war bows.
What speeds did you get with the 900gr arrow ?
awesome video !
Super talented, had no idea you knew your way around a bow like that. Would like a video just on the line tuning you were doing with your rest.
I might have missed it, but what are you getting for FPS with that set up? I’m asking because I am curious to see the difference in kinetic every between say a bow set at 80lbs and pushing a 500 gr arrow at 290fps or yours at 86lbs pushing a 900 gr arrow at whatever speed.
I notice it looks like you used hot melt on the inserts. Did you do that on the FMJ and was that just for testing or was that done instead of using the epoxy?
4mm wins, less resistance. Also it has a lower GPI for more FOC. More FOC means more efficient penetration bcause of less angular momentum on impact with uncentered resistance
Well he's definitely not going to have penetration issues anyway. I say 5mm. Who doesn't like a FMJ?
Learned a lot from this video, that being said have you ever shanked one into the wall on accident haha
The cat watching the arrow fly past like:
Why not go to the butcher and get a cow femur see if it goes through.
Nah,car hood attract more viewer
That's insane ,I shoot an 85# lingo and it punches arrows thru all the 3d targets I'd say it would most likely punch thru that car hood
Great video! At 900 grains you are probably losing kinetic energy. It would be worth shooting over a chrono and crunching the numbers. For my 70# centergy the max energy is around 475 grains so I would estimate your 85# bow would be somewhere around 550-600 grains. Energy vs arrow weight will make a parabolic curve which depends on how fast your bow shoots the arrows. It might be worth some ballistics gel tests too.
I used an online calculator to estimate your max energy with your bow. I set IBO at 350, weight at 85, and adjusted arrow weight up to 925 grains. At around 500 grains is where I got your max energy at around 120 ft pounds. At 900 grains your energy would be 77 ft pounds! Use your chrono and this website (www.larrywillis.com/bullet-energy.html) and you will see that the heavier arrows you are shooting the more energy you will be losing. As for penetration the only way to know for sure is a ballistics gel test or just shoot your buffalo with it because I'm sure it will be just fine.
Ha ha great video ....extremely informative and alot of fun good job people 😊
Thank you so much!!
@@BowmarBowhunting no problem....its good to see someone so passionate about what they do ....and enjoying it so much ....the footage with the car bonnet.....or hood as u say 😂😂😂 ...was completey awesome
I hope I'm as successful as this dude one day
U should do a hunt in Australia and if u did u could probs hunt one of my blocks in the sorghum plantation where we get pigs easy over 100kg
Can I come too?
Did you have to sand down the front of the shaft to get the outserts to fit on the Pro Comps?
I love your videos!!! i haven't even watched it yet but i know ill love it!
That arrow is what the Bowman should have used to kill Smaug. Good luck on the Buffalo Josh!
Great video Josh! Give my best to Mozambique 🇲🇿😎🤟
Those are some very stout meat spears you are shooting there. Can hardly wait for the hunts to be posted
What is the arrow speed on the 900 grain version? Thanks for the great video!
I'll tell you now cape buffalo hide is very tuff, I've made things out of tanned hide and its hard to cut with a sharp head knife
What kind of knot do you use for the D loop? It looks like a Prusik
Cam Haynes just cranked his Hoyt up to 91 lbs. Check.
That stiff spine arrow turned into a floppy spaghetti noodle going thru the car hood.
Good bow
Hope y’all get one
With a 900g arrow, i would imagine that when you miss, you miss by a lot. Given the trajectory being that of a stone. Not going to matter with a buffalo at 30m, but imagine the 100m bombs. That's a beast of an arrow though
Sweet tune!! It would be fascinating to see different setups, broadhead, shafts... go through ballistics gel and check flesh penetration!
WesIncredible that’d be a lot of fun for sure!
got a sub from me, thought I knewhow to sight my bow in now you got me excited with all this extra stuff to look for or adjust next time I shoot. lol
Huh, do all carbon arrows have alloy cores? I am really new and got some fletched shafts from my local camping store.. they could tell me nothing about them though. As far as I can tell they appear to be carbon throughout with only the screw end being made of some kind of non-ferrous alloy.
Love your channel. Your lighter setup has to be grossly underspined. I'm shooting a triax at 78lbs and if I run those 170gr ethics outlets with a 250gr head,on a 250 spine arrow I'm underspined by quite a bit and your shooting almost another 10lbs. Good luck to you and I hope your smoke a biggun. Btw, are those cutt throats or bishop heads?
Very good
Why did I get reminded of Mr Rogers from this guy’s voice?
Hey Boss! Quick question, I’m in the market for a new bow, I’ve shot 70lb bows my entire life (should have started lighter at a younger age) but I’ve been debating going up to 80lb for my next rig! What are your opinions on 80lb draw compared to 70? I often shoot 100 arrow sessions with my 70lb rx-1 with minimal fatigue, 70 is pretty comfy, I just wonder if I would become comfortable with 80 after practice 🤔
How did you tune it to gain an extra 6lb? I got a nitrous turbo mine maxes at 72lb
Shorten up the cables
Does moving your rest to tune your arrows to in a straight line affect it's ability to shoot bullet holes though paper, the reason I ask is I thought you have to move your rear rest the same way when paper testing
Im curious about this as well.
Yes it will go from a perfect bullet hole to a small tare
Some girl ran outa the wood 😂😂😂
Oz cuts baby!
I shoot 86 pounds out of my Hoyt carbon element it will go through a toyota driver and passenger doors as long as the windows are up.
BILL GATES how do you know
Great video
thank you!
When are we gonna see the giant 200+ inch buck video you shot this season. Cannot wait for that
Don’t joke about our rhino and elephant 😂😬
He will make sure he leaves your girlfriend's out of it next time
It’s always great to hear how quiet bows are with heavy arrows. They’re only louder with light arrows because they’re shaking like hell with all the energy the arrow didn’t have the mass to absorb. You’d think every Hunter would want the most efficiency out of their bow 🤔
Historically 900 grain hunting arrows were common
I'm using the 160 grains Zwickey eskimo 4 blades for south american Tapir
Than tim wells comes out with a 10 grain blow dart arrow and kills the buffalo.
