Great video very helpful

[@dargo1183]

Always love learning about arrow building

[@Hydra70964]

Lost an elk shooting a 530 grain arrow with slick tricks at 40 yards. Hit high and left broadside quartering down and I believe I hit the shoulder. (75#, 29,5 draw). Most likely I hit some grass directly in front of me with how fast everything occurred. Considering bumping up to 650 grains with a single bevel next hunt.

[@drtracyst]

great vid looking forward to the next one

[@chrisdowns7443]

another great vid. keep up this informational content.

[@owenleberknight3097]

love the educational videos!!

[@timturner1203]

Really like these videos you guys are doing

[@matthewkyle2534]

Good video. Great content. I just switched to a little lighter arrow for elk this year. Went from 470 to 436. 12 percent foc. It’s going 284 feet per second at 68 pounds. If I crank it down to 72 I’m sure I’d be at around 290. Hoping to find an eastern Oregon bull to test her out this year. Shot placement above all. Above speed or arrow weight. Thanks for the video.

[@marcushamby5894]

Interesting topic I will be following

[@chrisclaps4365]

Another great video

[@martinmountainmen181]

Coming in today for new arrows!

[@craigstieg8940]

A lot to think about and practice with. Thanks

[@michaellavinder1191]

Always enjoying your videos from past, present and future. Keep up the videos

[@emgee3604]

I've killed elk with a 385 gr arrow 🏹 fixed blade passed right through.. 28 inch draw 70 lb bowtech Reign 6

[@loopmtz]

Good stuff as usual!

[@revskull]

I’m shooting 596 grains, 16% FOC, 31 inch draw, at 268 FPS

[@surlyfan]

What bow and draw weight? I am 31” as well, shooting 520gr arrow at same speed, 65lb draw. Elite Ritual 35.

[@andytillack6998]

Great insight to what different folks shoot. I'm upgrading my bow soon and will need new arrows so this helps a ton. Thanks guys!

[@mikekuper2859]

Looking forward to this series. Thanks for diving in the topic!

[@TXBowhunter]

Great Video

[@ONLYACHEVY10]

Really looking forward to this series. Thanks for all the info you guys put out.

[@mikestrong1378]

Looking forward to the rest of this serie

[@SCHunter1964]

The perfect arrow is up to the person using it. We use what works best us and we don't say well that or that arrow is bad. I myself am a 27"DL @ 73# and shoot a 650gr to 700gr arrow with fixed blade broadheads. Why? Because I don't shoot at game past 50 yards and this setup has always worked for me. Do I think lighter arrows are junk? No. Because I have witnessed other hunters having success with them. Like I said Use what is best (Comfortable) for you. Every hunter is different. Thank you for pointing that each hunter has their own setup that works for them.

[@jeffcordero_]

im balls deep in arrows this year. why? to tinker. but this is all great content helping me narrow down my builds

[@derekdavis1076]

Putting some arrows together soon....thanks for putting out this content!

[@Glitzjhn1519]

Throwing logs vs throwing toothpicks

[@ironbulldog16]

Nice Hoyt hat, I'm wearing the same one now!

[@justinthompson7438]

Really looking forward to following this series and see the results

[@danlane2547]

Nice intro video. Looking forward to the series. Interesting to see the variability amongst staff.

[@alexpanting6225]

I love learning about this stuff.

[@clintwhitley9554]

Cool to hear others using fixed for elk and mechanical for other. I thought I was just not able to decide

[@zachpetrik9801]

Definitely gives me things to think about.

[@donaldburgess1003]

Looking forward to the next video...have no idea what weight arrow I should be shooting

[@mgreenst5479]

Love what you guys do, such great information. Can’t wait to see see more of your content

[@wcwcgarner2717]

I have a 27 inch draw. I shoot full metal jackets 340 spine. At 60 pound draw. They have been working great for me. Can talk about arrows for days. Nice review

[@billwhitaker2947]

Great information. I've been using the same arrows for elk and pronghorn but I've been leaning towards something lighter and faster for pronghorns.

[@keithmehls2196]

Tks guys

[@curtishulet7661]

Interesting to see everyone's preference.

[@tracyjones4678]

Thank you for the ideas it gives me a good way to go I'm on my way to vale's white tail

[@jakepeleshuck3701]

Always a topic of discussion!!! Constantly changing! 28 in draw 70lb 465 grain is the most recent

[@okiebob25]

Looking forward to this series and hearing the set ups used by the group. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@wesleymalik5132]

I really enjoyed this video and hearing what people in the shop had to say. I can't wait to see what's going to be in the next video

[@justinking8891]

I’m looking forward to these videos. I’m wanting to start building arrows this year.

[@brycehiigel235]

I thought that was The No Limits Archery Shop. I live around 3plus hours away so don’t get to Denver that often. Nice to see some comparisons and other hunters preferences.

[@jeffgibson9740]

Great video. I have heard too many times peoples opinions to different gear without really their thoughts behind why they make the recommendations. Arrow selection is one of those areas, as long as you are in safe tolerances (spine for example), that it is fun to play with different setups.

[@StraightWayOutdoors]

I’m So torn between 450 or 475 for an all around arrow build. I hunt mostly whitetail, but occasionally a western trip for antelope or hopefully elk....67 lbs. / 29”

[@AlphaBowhunting]

Honestly you won't notice much difference between them. I would probably lean towards the 475 as an all around build

[@StraightWayOutdoors]

@@AlphaBowhunting thx. I’m leaning that way because of the upgrade in component integrity - stainless steel (475) v. aluminum (450).

[@toreyyoung1518]

I've killed elk with a lot of different arrow weights. Cow,at 35 yards 410gr. 100 gr. Fixed. Pass through ribs. 450gr 100 gr. Fixed 40 yard 1hole . 465 gr. 100 gr. Fixed 45 yes 1/4 ing away. GREAT topic guys!! If you watch the ranch ferry, he's big on FOC and the Ashbury theory.

[@deadfallbrothers2573]

Certainly wanted this to be longer. Now I have to wait 🤣

[@thetimboyle3044]

[@RobertKearl-Outdoor-Adventures]

28.5" draw 80lbs Taw of 706 with the 19 % foc with a 125 grain single bevel samurai overkill by grizzly stik out front

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Discussing arrow weight is similar to talking about rifle calibers/cartridges as well as the best bullet weight and construction. One could even talk about vehicles too. It is all about figuring out what each individual bow and archer 🏹 shoots best. As well as what is most effective on the game you are after.

[@clintwhitley9554]

When you are referring to a preferred arrow weight in this video are you including what the field point or broadhead would weigh? I would assume so because that would put me with a 32" draw, 60# setup, 300 spine TKO's, 75g inserts and a 100g field point at 496.5 Making me think my next bow is going to have 70# limbs so I can make those things screaming fast. The only issue I'm seeing is that I'm not paper tuning very well. Maybe its possible the arrow isn't stiff enough even though that's the stiffest arrow Victory makes...?

[@jackbuendgen389]

Could you guys do an arrow video for short draw adult archers? I am an adult male with a 26 inch draw @70 pounds. Every time I watch an arrow video my draw gets lumped in with kids and women's set ups.

[@dakota_bowhunter]

X impact 300 spine, Valkyrie 180 grain broadheads. You’d run roughly 430 grains with 19 foc.

[@jackbuendgen389]

@@dakota_bowhunter not a bad set up

[@surlyfan]

What do you find to be the best balance between speed and fixed blade broadhead flight? I have heard 270-280 FPS is the sweet spot.

[@AlphaBowhunting]

I would say all things become more critical at 290 plus. Still so many variables but under 290 is doable

[@royhoglund1322]

It would be good if you could touch on shorter draw length and lower poundage shooters.

[@tannergossack2474]

Most of the guys seem to be in the 450-550 range for elk. Would you guys think that is similar for Alaskan moose as well or would you even bump that up some more?

[@AlphaBowhunting]

I personally have never hunted Moose but I would favor the 500-550 range

[@timberg7377]

As always, great information, I'm definitely enjoying this series, and thanks for the opportunity to win some great gear, a spotter would be amazing.. God bless

[@jc_glidin_on_2]

30" @70lbs, 550gr Easton Axis MG Fixed 252fps-Elk and 450gr Easton 6.5Hunter Classics Fixed 283fps-Whitetail/Muley.

[@seanspeers8965]

I understand the need for weight and momentum but never sacrifice what code work to chase the FOC craze. Almost bought into it.

[@headnwest8909]

Us short draw guys need to get a little more creative with out set ups. Would love to have the problem of having a 30 inch draw! But for now with a 27.5 inch draw its a 482 gr arrow at 262 fps for both Whitetail and Elk for me. Fixed Broadhead for both.

[@warrencarter5092]

How do you measure your draw length for your bow

[@jackbuendgen389]

Measure from the front of the riser to the end of your string a draw

[@victorsosa7328]

I shoot around 450g with 70 pounds 30 inch draw

[@colinsoares7507]

Always great tidbits. Unfortunately, these nuggets tend to cost me dearly. I need to come up with more excuses for my real boss!

[@blackarm3265]

I just saw your pic in Hoyt catalog I think you killed a mtn 🐐 goat take care bro🇺🇸🤙🤙

[@zhickman338]

Weights were all similar yet there is probably only one guy shooting Victory 😬

[@cliffburlew9209]

Just get arrows and learn how to shoot back in the day me didn't have many choices and we did just fine

[@flushot6513]

Structure integrity and perfect arrow flight if your arrow comes in sideways don't do ya any good

[@sinepari9160]

The energy my bow outputs.. that's been happening for a decade.. he's MEH lol
