Archery | Assembling Arrows

[@craigblair6222]

Thanks for sharing that. Clear and uncomplicated. One step I would add, particularly if you are building an arrow with a carbon only shaft. You get the best results when bonding points and nock pins if you clean the inside of the arrow shaft with isopropyl alcohol and a q tip or cotton bud. The dust and debris collected inside the arrow after the cutting process can reduce the quality of the bond. I have proven this by building a set of Easton carbon ones, not cleaning the inside of the shaft and finding points missing when I retrieved the arrows from the boss. Found them in the grass by metal detector behind the boss and repeated the glueing process after cleaning the shafts internally. Much better result

I can't help myself, I think it's so cute that you added the glitter sticker :D Nice video, thank you.

[@mychongck]

Great sharing Nu Sensei! As always, I like your videos and teachings.

[@johntam4287]

One tip from watching Crispin Duenas demonstrating how to fletch spin wings is to sprinkle some tal powder on the vanes so that they won't stick to each other in the quiver.

Man, I thought you're Japanese all the time back then until this video. Greeting from Vietnam.

[@MartyInLa]

I thought he was Japanese or Filipino.

[@YTMegiddo]

From all this time watching your War Thunder videos and now your Archery vids... it nice to know your name. From one Dave to another, hey man!

[@sibagatov]

Great video!

[@CROSSFIRE_TACTICS_SOFIA]

Thank for the video.

[@jeffwhite7158]

Where did you have the stickers made with your name on them at 5:58?

Great video:)

[@1rudgie]

Really useful, thanks!

[@MikeMafiaII]

Great guide, what would you need to differently for this to work for wooden arrows?

[@matthewohkokyew]

Did you experience any different flight characteristics between the lighter ACE and the heavier X 10, and is there any considerations needed for spinage as compared to your ACEs. Love your videos. PS: you might want to invest in over the shaft nocks so the expensive X10s don't bite the dust after one shot

[@louisnaturani3837]

Great vid on arrow assembly. Where did you get your name stickers from please.

[@seeingthepattern]

This is a great and helpful video (as always) - but could you give more information that deals with knowing what weight heads to use etc

[@Awwyeeah]

Hey Nue , does having the tape on the end of the vanes have any effect on the flight of the arrow once it comes in contact with the arrow rest arm?

[@MyTesseract]

Have you switched to a weaker spine? I sort of remember a previous video where you were using ACE's 670 and 720.

[@NUSensei]

Yes.

[@erniebuenafe1433]

Not to belabor the point, but did you have to change limbs or was there still sufficient adjustment left with the tiller bolts?

[@AlgosExplained]

Hey I'm a David also! Love your videos man.

[@simplyeason]

how do i know which side to glue my fletchers on? im so confused

[@MrWizardjr9]

would a soldering iron work as a source of heat? Its a digital one and I can set it to 50-480 celcius. Or my dad has an rework station that he doesn't use anymore and I can ask for him to bring it home would that be a better choice?

[@mackemforever]

The problem with using something like that is that you're restricting where you can work. It's inevitable that eventually you're going to be in a position where you want to remove or replace a pile or pin while you're out at the range so something that requires a power source isn't a great option. Personally I've built hundreds of arrows over the years and have always just used an ultra cheap cigarette lighter. Does the job perfectly well and because they're tiny you can easily have it in your kitbag.

[@MrWizardjr9]

AJSBristol​ I don't think I want to bring a candle and matches with me every time I'm at the range and I can't hold a cigar lighter steady and make the arrow

[@mackemforever]

Well that's why I didn't say to take a bloody candle with you to the range! You also don't really need a particularly steady flame. You're not applying heat to one specific spot, you're simply heating the entire pile or the entire pin, where you apply the heat on it is completely irrelevant.

[@NUSensei]

+AJBristol: The way you said it implies that anything requiring a power source is a bad choice. He's obviously not going to be using a workbench tool in the field. Yes, lighters work fine. Other tools can work just as well, if not more conveniently. The fact that you can't bring a candle or a soldering iron with you in the field isn't a "problem", and the problem you raised is easily addressed by bringing a lighter with you in the field.

[@MrWizardjr9]

NUSensei also i have a power bank with an AC outlet so I can concievably run the soldering station for 30 minutes :D

[@Anson1616]

Hello sir how can I get get arrow... I want arrow to buy.

[@Anson1616]

Sir an you teach us how to make repair arrow that have been damage or band ...

[@JCMusicVids]

Hey NUsensei, I have been watching a ton of your vids for the past week, and im loving them! I want to get into archery myself, and I want to get a bow to get started. Im a young teen, and I have found the Genesis Original to be a popular choice for many beginners. Do you agree? I would like to start hunting as I get older and stronger, but for now just practice shooting. Thanks!

[@NUSensei]

The Genesis is a "kiddy" bow that is good for casual families or large clubs. As a personal bow, I would not recommend it. It is effectively a "training wheel" and doesn't grow with you. Buying a proper compound bow will give you something that you can tinker with, learn to shoot with and grow with.

[@JCMusicVids]

Alright, ill look around some more. Thanks!

[@S4suk3S4mur41]

Hey sensei, where do you buy those clear stickers ?

[@NUSensei]

Mine were from ArrowSocks

[@S4suk3S4mur41]

NUSensei thanks!

[@YeeThirty]

@@NUSensei clean looking for sure!

[@fengyink]

Now we see the olympic grade x10, enjoy shooting.

[@pequodexpress]

The plastic nocks are just press-fit to the aluminum pin, no glue?

[@NUSensei]

No glue. They're meant to be easily replaceable.

[@pequodexpress]

@@NUSensei Thanks. Your videos have helped my son and me get into archery. I'm currently sourcing supplies and materials to make arrows.

[@pequodexpress]

@@NUSensei Is the nock able to rotate on the pin?

[@luizbertoneto]

Can it be done without the fancy feather machine? I don't have it and it would take a month to arrive.

[@NUSensei]

You can do it by hand, but it's harder to get the measurements exact.

[@PatiencyBee]

I have a question: where did you get the skyliner tool for attaching the fletchings?

[@NUSensei]

Beiter makes it. The specific one I used here is a 3D printed model sent to me.

[@wayne2wax]

What happened to Chinese Garden in purple ? you got bored ?

[@kollinmickelsen7866]

I’m sorry if this sounds stupid but do most arrows not come with tips cause I’m just starting and was disappointed when the arrows didn’t have tips

[@NUSensei]

This is correct. It assumes that you are choosing your own points based on your needs, as each type of point and weight is different.

[@phantomcruizer]

Are your vanes mounted straight, offset or, helical? Which BTW is better in a competition? Another great video thanks for posting.

[@mackemforever]

No one method has an advantage over any others. It all comes down to personal preference and the arrow behaviour that you're getting from your bow, some styles will work well for some people and some won't. Try all three and find out which works best for you.

[@eliasbartos5313]

How much would a pack of spin wings cost

[@DucNguyen-ig7ej]

Elias Bartos some cost 13 dollars for fifty some can cost 30 dollars

[@HieuTran-iy8bu]

Nice video. Btw, David Nguyen? Are you Vietnamese? :D

[@jimjones9323]

[@tw8245]

That sure cost you a pretty penny didnt it!
