Can I come work for you and live in the back lot in a tiny house?

[@BOOMER-rs5qn]

Hands down you have the most informative archery videos.

[@robohjhonson3711]

Yep 100%

[@Enders1315]

Check out Ranch Fairy too. Pretty interesting.

No big price tag, no big tears when you use it as a club for that mercy kill. Top vid

[@splintergg]

I think it's great that you can play the part of a customer in your shop and remain so objective and also to be just as daunted as a customer may feel when they walk into an archery shop. Great content, great video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@stickboy6772]

Great video, as always. I always learn from watching you and enjoy the information you share. I respect the perspective of informing people that going inexpensive is logical until your skill builds enough to sense the difference in higher quality products. I never got into any hobby where my products weren't changed out over time, as I learned what I liked. Going inexpensive makes sense, put the money you have into the bow, the rest can be swapped over time. Most, if not all, shops won't be this honest. Respect.

[@reecearnold2825]

Nice ive just ordered the NXT DRIVE with the pro set up for $390. Cant wait to get it and teach the mrs how to shot a bow. Those who shot together stay together lol.

[@jeffrylotz138]

Simple video with the most information that's easily understood. I thank you for all your videos. I wish you were in my neck of the woods

[@benjaminrigby5609]

Got one off you the other day, loving it! Cheers

[@Crossandbeyond]

Awesome discussion, can't wait to see you shooting it!

[@israelcomstock5745]

Awesome review's. You give so much information and unlike most reviews you don't have a sales rep standing next you. I've been shooting a 19 year old PSE Flash for a few months and settled on buying a 2021 Drive NXT after this video. Thanks for everything and keep it up.

[@ericadams1745]

After years of shooting i finally understand how/why stabilizers work

[@vaneck619]

wow, lol

[@AussieArcher1234]

2nd WOW ..After YEARS. WOW just WOW

[@LukeMcMullin]

"I think I would be able to shoot quite good with $1,200.00 set up," heck my first hunting compound bow cost me all of $50.00 and I shot a nice six point buck with it as well. It was a 45Lb. Bear Blacktail Hunter, with Easton xx75 arrows and Thunderhead 125,s. I up graded the very next year but I still don't have a $1,200.00 set up. So if you are wanting to get rid of that bow set up, I would be happy to take it off your hands, Ha Ha, Love your videos Steven thanks for posting. Luke

[@frazier22303]

Great content! Love the channel. Tuning tutorials? Bare shaft, paper, walk back, torque tuning, etc?????

[@josephtreadlightly5686]

Looking out for the customers needs instead of getting sleep. So Stephen of u. I don't think people know how good the VAP's r. I love the performance I get out of them after your recommendation of them a couple of years ago. However u r not doing them justice unless u r using a dropaway rest. As far as a hunting quiver goes to use them in there is nothing better than the Conquest Talon which u gave me a heads up on. Thanks for both😁

[@jamiemcgahey1947]

Can you list all the stabilisers used in this vid please

[@jonpaul4935]

Hey Steven, loving the look of the 2021 drive, after watching this video I'm left wondering exactly which accessories you use in your "bow kit" and "pro bow kit" options?

[@lordcarnorjax8599]

It would be nice to see another video in this style but for a target setup. The PSE Drive looks like a great bow for some one getting into compound target archery.

[@1RobHunter1]

Outstanding work as always. Very Professional

[@OlaCurtius]

Now why should I buy the Driver over the Stinger? Is it the replacement of the Centrix? Could you make a PSE 2021 line up? Cheapest to most expensive and how they complement each other.

[@mohawksniper79]

I melted my whisker bisket on my pse embark i went with a drop away QAD hunter changed my groups big time. My favorite release was the OG Cobra wrist release sad they dont make it anymore they changed thier release not sure if is a new owner but the OG cobra was the best

[@angief1671]

Nice work. The drive Nxt is a shooter for sure

[@vincentdegraaf2222]

Great review and yes why break the bank on expensive items while a much cheaper item works nearly as good if not better in some cases

[@dougeldredge]

double prong rest , 34 $ on amazon ,worked back in the day , will work today

[@Jason-pd6wc]

What is that stabilizer at the 16:13 mark? (The $40/50 one)

[@ThomasBReef]

Your channel is great! Been watching a lot of your vids, older to newer. QUESTION I've got a 31.5" draw length, and am looking for a great bow that is a balance of fast, and easy to shoot. 70lbs draw weight. ATA I'm not too picky with. I have $700 cad and can't decide if I go new, or used, or what to get... cheers!

[@renatugaming5730]

well with used you have to be careful, if you get a bow from ebay, you risk not getting a bow that has a warranty. I don't know off hand which bows could go to 31 inches, maybe elite or hoyt or pse has some options you would have to check. You might have to fix it with getting a longer loop length or by putting twists in strings/cables (don't remember which one increases draw length so you would have to check on that). Many bows have 70 pounds as their max draw weight as long as you don't get a youth bow, but your draw length would prevent you from getting a youth bow since a lot of beginner bows from say, diamond, don't go past 30 inches (maybe if you're lucky). ATA is more honest because of regulations but only HOYT uses them. I would suggest looking at your nearest archery store to see if you can get recommendations, they would be better at suggesting equipment. If you buy used you would need to buy new strings and cables which would cost an extra 100 dollars, but you might have other issues too that would need to be checked. i would suggest staying with name brands if you want nice quality that isn't going to break on you and that shops can service for you (PSE, HOYT, Mathews, Bowtech, Diamond etc etc.). I ultimately can't decide for you, but with some of these companies reaching up to really expensive for price point, it's a decision that is up to you. Another option is to try to save some cash to get something better, because there are some mid priced bows that are really nice bows that are just a smidge over your budget. Keep your arrow price in mind too, some top brands to get arrows from are Gold Tip, Easton, Black Eagle, Carbon Express, and Victory. With these brands you get way more options for spine than buying your arrows off of amazon.

[@renatugaming5730]

2021 Bowtech Amplify new has max draw length of 30 inches (add twists to the cables to make your draw length longer and use a longer d loop to get to that 31.5 inch draw length if possible) 8-70 pounds of draw weight, 31.25 inches axle to axle, 6 inch brace height and speeds up to 334. you would have to see if you could get a bowtech dealer to get it to you though, it runs at 549 usd (696 cad roughly) at Lancaster Archery Supply (my personal store of choice in the U.S.) for the barebow. Just one bow I saw that might fit you, but might need to go a little lower if you wanted to get accessories and try to shoot that way.

[@ThomasBReef]

@@renatugaming5730 I bit the bullet and ordered a PSE NTN 33. Goes up to 31.5" and 60 to 70lb draw. Opted to get a new bow from a dealer because its just so difficult to find anything used in my draw length. Warranty is also important for sure!

[@renatugaming5730]

@@ThomasBReef I am happy you found the bow that you wanted! PSE has nice bows with amazing customer service, often compared to Bowtech. Happy Shooting!

[@ThomasBReef]

@@renatugaming5730 Thanks! My current bow is a PSE EPIX and I really like it, beyond the draw length issue haha. I havent picked up the NTN 33 yet, but should have it within the week. Excited for sure! Cheers.

[@theamazinggoldfish8713]

Looking forward to your review on the LAZER 🏹🤠👍

[@renatugaming5730]

Would cartel stabilizers be good or would it not be worth it? They have threaded weights, up to 30 inches in length, and I got a full set (long rod, 2 side rods and a v bar) for about 100 usd.

[@davidduvall4846]

Hey Steven can you please do a review on the 2021 PSE Lazer I'm thinking about getting one for 3D next summer !Thanks!

[@JW-bw8nj]

Anyone know which metal micro-adjustable sight that was? He mentions the other accessories in detail but glosses over the sight really quick.

[@wcwcgarner2717]

I shoot a T R U Ball . And I am new to the sport and I like it alot.

[@Speedy99Q]

Great channel, you dont feed your viewers all kinds of bullcrap to sell expensive products that do nothing, like 150$ Channel Branded bow Grips!

[@muddog2159]

I would stick with dead enter 10 inch for hunting and than for off season for target get the v bar and get the longer one for target shooting and can add weights

[@timbow50]

So before winter sets in there when are you going to take us on 3-d shoot with this bow? " all work makes Jack a dull boy". 3-d is way more fun than shooting dots inside somewhere.

[@robohjhonson3711]

What I’ve taken from this video is he like the dead centre.

[@thorout8377]

I also use dead centre stabilisers (from Steve). They are seriously hand down best value. I shoot a Bowtech Reckoning.

[@wcwcgarner2717]

I have the Bear paradox. 32inches axle to axle ibo is 330 fps. I have a Qad ultrarest drop away. Trophy ridge REACT pro 5 site. Trophy ridge hitman stabilizer 6 inch. My 1st bow. And it shoots great. And a Apex side mount Trophy ridge hitman rear stabilizer. And 70 pounds.

[@tcnarber1]

Which stabilizer?

[@AussieArcher1234]

Does the Drive have room for a PSE Roller cable slide ?

[@icallbs4613]

Those prices you pay across the pond must suck, that's 2x the cost here in the states...

[@LukeMcMullin]

Hi, Steven why not just shoot it with the sight it comes with and save the $50.00 ? I know if I was buying a bow that came with a five pin sight I would not spend the extra until I wanted to up grade and then buy something that really changes things. I would then add the fifty to upgrade to better arrows. Luke.

[@tcnarber1]

I would say pin brightness is a big issue there. Most of the ready to shoot packages don’t have a sight with adequate pins

[@AussieArcher1234]

The cheap sights are weak plastic and brake easy , the Pins are horrid in poor light and inside and they dont adjust the easiest , As you drop down the sight from 20 the last pins axes is not level so the arrows shoot off to the left or right, and if you correct it and go back to 20 , now the 20 pin is way off left or right . a metal sight is much better.

[@LukeMcMullin]

@@AussieArcher1234, I must say I haven't seen the sights in person, so In view of what you have said about the poor quality of the sights the bow comes with, I would then agree with Steven's choice. On the video the sights looked good enough but no one wants cheap plastic sights. Luke.

[@AussieArcher1234]

@@LukeMcMullin Was my first upgrade I did on a Ready to shoot bow I got. The cheap sight was good for a few weeks as I learned to use the bow ,But the micro adjustable metal sight I upgraded to made me understand how cheap and nasty the plastic ones are.

[@AussieArcher1234]

@@LukeMcMullin Their are 3 kits, the PSE RTS kit , Steve's budget kit and Steve's Pro kit . And the Bare bow . I have the PSE kit which has a quality sight and rest as i didnt need a release or arrows etc . Very happy with the PSE kit

[@gianpietrogottardo6056]

topoint tp640 I guess

[@MrMalditor]

Tru ball max pro + thumb release was only 108 in the US and is adjustable. May have been a decent option for the budget too. Only thing I was thinking I liked better than what you chose.

[@AussieArcher1234]

108 to aussie is $145 plus postage brings it to 170ish and the long wait to get it at least 4 week or longer . Its a bit hard to walk out the door with a ready to shoot package without a release. And i think you have missed the point of the Video

[@MrMalditor]

@@AussieArcher1234 I didn't miss the point, I was just surprised he didn't carry that model. I saw several other tru ball thumb releases of high dollar cost behind him. I didn't mean for him to order one special.

[@timbow50]

Awesome until you picked a barrel design wrist release- bummer junk. Those make you fit to them because they have limited length adjustment. The strap style is better as they are infinitely adjustable to fit your hand size. Beginners will learn to reach out with their index finger and slap the trigger- guaranteed.

@@pellet_on_pellet relax mate, with twist rates in strings these days its fine and perfectly normal practice while setting up a bow. No one wants to tie in a peep half a dozen times to get a set up and tune. Unless you dry fire it of course, then I've seen a tied in peep come out and that's on the idiot not loading an arrow before pulling it back.

[@pellet_on_pellet]

@@theconcourseapprentice2451 all that’s needed is a simple tied loop around the peep which still allows it to be easily moved up and down the string to correct rotation. There is no reason to not tie it in with the most simple loop.
