3 Rivers Archery Traditional Only Arrows

[@Doubtful-optimism]

Just got my set a few days ago. shooting a 62#@29" recurve cut 1/8 past center, so I needed a super stiff arrow to be able to shoot the amount of weight at the tip I want. Ended up going with 300 spine, 75 grain brass hit insert, 150 grain broadheads/field tips. Ended up at 31.25 inches and flying like darts bare shaft. The great thing about these arrows is how much you can customize them to fit your needs. A lot of people think that 5/16 carbon arrows have the most available components, but the axis arrows seem to be taking over. You can shoot lightweight aluminum inserts, 50, 75, or 100 grain brass hit inserts, and so on. Super adaptable arrow to fit your needs and like you said, they look pretty sweet. I put reflective yellow wraps and 3" shield cut yellow fletchings on and they look fantastic and are easy to see in flight.

Love getting all this detail! Thanks for sharing ! 😍

More gear intros and reviews is what we need!

[@r1sabotage]

I love how the German Jagers fly, they fly like field points for me with crazy penetration. I have the 100 grain though with 75 grain incerts. I'm shooting them with gold tip traditional classics at 400 spine cut to 30.25 inches. That was my receipe for perfect arrow flight without feathers. I put three inch straight fletched feathers and have perfect flight out of my bow which is 45# at my 28 inch draw. I bounce between 3 Rivers and Lancaster, two great companies

[@Hambone8771]

I hunt with traditional bow. But I always order from 3 rivers archery!! I love them!!

[@lsumme21]

Great video as always, buddy! Keep em' coming🤙🏼

[@kennethumphlett4052]

I agree with you on these arrows I've been trying to get the Beman white outs and I understand that Easton bought them out and these look pretty much identical so they're good chefs you will enjoy him but I would change the inserts I've been hearing bad reviews on that but the how do you hear that all the time best thing to do is testing yourself and bear shafton and you won't have any problem nice talking to you again drop me a line thank you

[@DavidWilliams-xp7gp]

Good looking arrows .

[@benathens3294]

I shoot Gateway 2.25 shield cut Feathers and love them.

[@puristconstruction4788]

Hey mick, love your videos . Mainly for the excitement factor! Reminds me of me! So I have a “tip” I had my 400 spine flying weak @30.25 inches with 175 grain up front( 50 grain insert, 125 point) Added an arrow wrap to stiffen it a little and worked a treat. Also if you four fletch with those 2 inch it’ll stiffen it some more and if you four fletch with 3 inch feathers (without wrap) that might just nail it....! However as you said, just going of vision provided... might need some testing Love ya work, from da 🇦🇺

[@ArcheryGeek]

Great advice! I’m going to put some 5 inch feathers on and see how that does. I dropped the poundage of my bow to 45 and it corrected things but I want to get to around 50. New spines arrows I think are the only option .. maybe?

[@rich51257]

Those are some cool looking arrows. I’ve been shooting the Black Eagle Instinct arrows which I guess are the same and they fly fast and pretty accurate coming out of my bow. Nice video!

[@ArcheryGeek]

Thanks that’s a great arrow too!

[@alexmacdonald258]

Oooooo! Didn't know they made white shafts! I tried the small feathers on the last batch I made, and really don't like them for aesthetic reasons. They fly fine, I just don't like the look, so I'll go back to the 4 inch feathers next time. Yours REALLY look sharp though; love the color!!

[@Hambone8771]

I shoot carbon express heritage but I'm game to try some different arrows! Thanks for the info!

[@erictilley9393]

thanks for the info. My shaft are on the way from 3 Rivers.

[@ArcheryGeek]

I ordered another set too. Let me know if you get yours. Mine are still not here but this time of year is hard on USPS. I heard they switched to UPS now

[@erictilley9393]

got mine last Friday from the post office and I have a black widow pma 52# a Bob lee 50# and a bear takedown 50# by just changing the weight of the heads they fly great out of all 3

[@erictilley9393]

all 60 inch bows

[@mikerobertson197]

The aluminum half outs bend and break fairly easily in my experience.

[@bryanknapp6897]

Here’s a thought, that I’m yet to test. But does the spine of an arrow get affected by temperatures? Example would a softer spine shaft become stiffer when hunting in ‘minus’ temperatures or does a stiff arrow soften from extremely hot weather. Again just a thought. Beauty arrows you got there sir, they must be great arrows for video work.

[@thelogicalsportsman700]

I bought the same arrows a 6 pack I also order a universal quiver an other 6 pack steel inserts an left wing feathers an wraps it was pending then it put the money back in my account I need these items hopefully I get it

[@seanjorgenson8064]

Iittle bit stiff short draw doesn't bend them as much.

[@dentonhunter4494]

Love your channel new in trad archery from compound going longbow I know this will heat up the chat im currently trying to pick a aiming method either gap or split vision for now arrows will be tradtional only but will be using wood arrows once the newbie in me gets done will get into competion here in my home state of texas have a good tradtional only called tradtional bowhunters of texas and a club that has asa shoots as well thanks for the good info here

[@ArcheryGeek]

Awesome. If you look in these comments you will see Delano’s comments and he is from Texas and an absolute hero of mine in the Trad world. Ping him if you need any help or advice

[@r1sabotage]

I'd advise not to go with wood arrows. I've been shooting since last March and I had the same mindset as you by shooting wood. Wood is not consistent and you have to do way too much and have knowledge to make sure they all fly similar. Once I went to carbon, my grouping shrunk overnight. I love the look and feel of wood but I'd rather be accurate and consistent in my shooting. I'm finally seeing real improvements after I went to carbon

[@guitjolin]

@@r1sabotage you have to go through a lot of wood shafts to find a consistent set for your quiver, but nothing tunes out of a bow better than wood arrows.

[@TORREX-A.D.]

These also come in 300 spine. I will shoot Compound Barebow with mine.

[@waynestevenson9613]

I went to 3 Rivers website to look at them... they’re a little pricey, but they come pre-fletched and save a little work. They look really nice. I may give them a try! Always looking for something new to try! Any idea what company builds them?

[@ArcheryGeek]

Yes they are Easton axis but the coating is another company I believe. They maybe out of stock on unfletched.

[@seanstevens5165]

I definitely getting some of these at some point. Need to figure out my arrow recipe though. These will be very helpful for fixed crawl and gap shooting!

[@Tooadie]

What for arrows do you remomend for my black hunter recurv bow 40 pound i need 600 the say

[@ArcheryGeek]

I would get 500 spine east axis

[@bowhuntingsoul2149]

So is the only difference the wrap vs the Axis?

[@ArcheryGeek]

Yes I would have to say so and the fact that you get outserts vs HIT

[@bowhuntingsoul2149]

@@ArcheryGeek that’s awesome then because you don’t have to foot it for durability like you do with the Axis

[@samscarbrough9946]

2” fletching on a hunting arrow with broad head. Love your vids but...come on man!

[@eaglecliffdevelopment387]

Valkyrie systems uses 4 2” fletch just shot thru a 9 point buck in Kansas w 40 lb bow arrow passed thru buried in dirt never found arrow; on heavy Voc you don’t need much fletching

[@vieuxacadian9455]

3 Rivers , Good folks .

[@psary644]

Hey, your channel is great and it should have more subscribers. What do you think of the aliexpress curved arches? I am thinking of buying one similar to the "black hunter".

[@ArcheryGeek]

Thank you so much! I haven’t seen it yet, If you send me a link I can check it out. I loved grabbing stuff from Aliexpress, when it shows up in 4 weeks its always a surprise :), thank again and send over a link, i can’t find it through the search tool. Best, Mick

[@psary644]

​@@ArcheryGeek yes, i thought your channel was huge for the objectivity and the image quality. Congratulations again man! The bow I was researching was this: pt.aliexpress.com/item/33058853897.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.654d2e0eT2aRY0 I was also seeing this: pt.aliexpress.com/item/4001061202660.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.5ef82e0e2VSSzI Which looks like an alternative version of black hunter with a different riser, but apparently the draw length @28" is too small for me ( I'm 1.82cm tall and a pull of approximately @29~30") so I think I'll buy the first bow link for security. What you think?

[@ArcheryGeek]

@@psary644 I’m going to check both out right now. I’ll get back to you really soon!

[@ArcheryGeek]

@@psary644 ok I would definitely go with the black hunter with the longbow limbs. Let me know what you decide though.

[@psary644]

@@ArcheryGeek ok, I'll buy it next week, which spine do you recommend for a 30 # bow?

[@thelogicalsportsman700]

Mine came with half out I ordered steel model 2 inserts for foc an other items . But I hope I get my ordered my money went back in my account idk what happened

[@mikecox9344]

What’s the broad heads

[@ArcheryGeek]

Jager 200gr broadhead from Bearpaw

[@r1sabotage]

Those broadheads are real nice and cheap as dirt compared to other brand names. I have the 100 grain which are vented. In my head, the vented will not plane.

[@liquishabombtay815]

Fishing arrow with a label!

[@mental-archery-tech-systems]

Hay Mick love the energy you put out just subscribe to your channel here not to long ago hope your doing well and hope your making more videos like this I’m just starting out with a new style of coaching I’m building it from the ground up and it’s all about the working of the unconscious mind and how it. works do you think archers would be interested in this kind of coaching I have a back ground in the study and of the unconscious mind and how it works and I love archery so I want to bring them both together because I know that anything and every thing that we do in life is calling on the unconscious mind to help us out to support us in what we focus are attention on . Any ways let me know what you

[@ArcheryGeek]

Yeah sounds great. Hit me up on IG

[@delanocarneiro5332]

340s are the way to go. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@ArcheryGeek]

See Denton hunter comment above. Fellow Texan new to Trad. He might like your help on aiming.

[@twintwo1429]

Even some of the most expensive raw carbon shafts , cost less than one dollar to manufacture. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

[@johnmerritt5462]

Why so heavy of a shaft

[@ArcheryGeek]

Heavy is good for hunting and for getting point on

[@donaldblank8873]

You need to cut them down until they fly perfect, A lot of people are shooting that poundage, Nobody wants them because they look cool. That's pointless, Arrow Length, Broadhead wait, Perfect flight, And say they're great

[@ArcheryGeek]

Haha

[@jacobhalverson6278]

They suck !! The white finish damages easily, the cheap aluminum inserts will bend on hard impacts and 2 of my 6 spined closer to 340 than then 400 spine which is what I ordered

[@ArcheryGeek]

Good feedback! I think I mention that they seem stiffer because of the coating, you are correct.. they are heavy too but I still really lobe the look of them and I’ve found them to be bulletproof.

[@jacobhalverson6278]

@@ArcheryGeek I shouldn’t say they suck, you can get better inserts for them I just wasn’t a fan of how the half outserts bent on hard impacts and if I grouped to tight the white finish would easily damage which is more my fault I guess
