BEST ARROWS for LIGHTER DRAW? - Build and Shoot my Whitetail Set Up

[@Kurtdog63]

Screw a field tip into the insert before heating and installing. Simply hold the field tip with a pair of pliers and heat away from your fingers. Helps to warm the glue and the insert/field tip before inserting so it doesn't set up too fast if you want to clock your broadheads with a specific orientation consistent between all arrow setups.

[@lesliemurphy7808]

Love your work Kaitlyn. I think you've covered everything for the purpose of the video. You explain every step in detail. I always learn a thing or two from you and I trust your knowledge. Rock on Kiddo and best of luck this season. 🤠

[@JW-uj3we]

I agree with the last post, a 200-300grain field point make a great insert install device...👌

[@johnw.9572]

I like the way those broadheads fly. I shoot slick trick as well and have for a long time. No complaints and they fly straight. Great video!

[@allanimalstaxi]

I tell you Kaitlyn I really am liking what I see on your video. You are an archer through and through, it is now in your blood. You know why we practice so much every day, 25 to 50 arrows into the targets each day. So, when the time is right and your at full draw on the biggest buck you have ever seen, you can go back to fundamentals and pick a spot just like in practice and drill it home. Then get the shakes so bad you have to hold on to your tree. I wish the best this year and Good Luck!

[@jakerowe3937]

Only 5 days left and it's time to hit a tree can't wait to see your footage this year enjoyed the video darlin can't ever get enough of watching you and learning a few things along the way I know I like your ceader in the clothes idea I got mine setting in some now I used some of a tree though out of the yard

[@GenX-Grampa]

Love that you do EVERYTHING you’re self! I hope you’re open to suggestions and don’t take offense to it. I have 2 daughters and soon my granddaughter that bow hunt 45 to 48 lb draw bows. I build 550-650 grain HEAVY arrows for them. That includes 100 grain brass inserts and 200 grain single bevel heads. One of my daughters hit a bit forward on a quartering TOO buck and afte breaking the shoulder it completely passed through the hind quarter! The momentem is incredible even on low draw weight bows!! Crimson Claw now makes a single bevel called the Cleaver, $30 for a 3 pack! The heaviest they have is a 150 grain but we had complete pass through on every deer this year. One even hit and CUT a limb before hitting the deer and STILL passed through! The arrow speed is slower by THOUSANDTHS, not enough to have a problem with jumping the string with 35 yds and in. Just a tip from an old hunter, use it or don’t. It’s just more reassuring to know you can hit a bit forward and WILL break a shoulder, prob even both.

[@GenX-Grampa]

Oh yeah, good on you rejecting mechanical heads!! I’ve banned them on my land. One too many injured and lost deer from buddies that hunt my land and used them!

[@marinajorgenson]

It makes my heart so happy to see another hunter doing an arrow build close to my specs❣️Cheers to straight shootin girl! 🏹

[@bryantitus6634]

I'm sure there will be plenty of people knocking your arrow weights and so on. You have surrounded yourself with plenty of people who have a wealth of knowledge in archery and with your broadhead choice I think your setup is excellent. One of my old bows was a Parker Hunter Mag that at 28"/60lb draw shot arrows of roughly the same weight as your build at the roughly the same velocities you should be getting. I not once had any issues with penetration running fixed heads. In fact we had a bow that passed through a couple of us that was WAAAAAAY less bow that if kept out of the front shoulder it had no issues penetration whitetail. 24" @47lb but an older Browning Micro Midas from around 2000. I'd have been surprised if shot over 185-190fps with even lighter arrows than yours, and that bow took several deer. Again, fixed heads of moderate size makes a huge difference as you have said. Great shooting!! And good luck this year.

[@rmd9032]

I continue to be amazed at the knowledge you possess. Great job Kaitlyn!

[@dkdogs]

Your dedication to the sport is impressive. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos and post on Instagram.

[@michaelvstheworld3680]

I have been bow hunting Whitetails for close to 30 years. My advice, take it or leave it, get a 200 grain head and bump it up to 484. The average shot distance most people take whitetail hunting is probably 25 yards. How many shots have you taken past 30 yards whitetail hunting? Having a flat shooting arrow is great, but for your draw weight and length you should rethink and approach your arrow build like a trad shooter wanting to maximize penetration through heavier weight and higher FOC. You are right on shooting the fixed blade, but at 384 grains with a low draw weight, I see a lot of backing out and waiting till morning in your future. Good luck this season.

[@kurveball1982]

I agree. too light. I learned the hard way.

[@KaitlynMausOutdoors]

I've only ever had full pass throughs

[@michaelvstheworld3680]

@@KaitlynMausOutdoors never said you couldn't get pass throughs or kill at 384, but when you do hit that shoulder on a big deer, will 384 with 48 lbs draw get the job done?

[@JS-ji5bl]

Im shooting 28.5 draw at 60 pounds and my arrow weight is 388 and my arrow usually goes all the way through the deer. Been shooting 370 to 390 grain arrow set ups for many years and have been very satisfied.

380 ish grain arrow is a happy medium for a short draw low poundage archer. You have a good setup that will kill anything in North America and you have obviously been working on your shooting as you are shooting really nice un-anticipated shots. Congrats and good luck this fall.

[@sofasquirrel]

Great vid. Your adding an awful lot of weight to the back of your arrow. I build my wife's in a similar way but I'd definitely recommend at least losing the wraps and maybe going with a slightly heavier insert to offset the lighted nock. Also use a field point to install your inserts it's way safer. Thanks for the vid.

[@thehappygocurmudgeon5283]

I have a lighter pull too (yay shoulder injuries) and I have found that if I use a little heavier front of center arrow that I’m getting much improved penetration. I use Easton Axis match grade 400, 75 grain inserts, 125 grain Iron Will broad heads and 3 AAE Hunter fletchings at 1 degrees. Also, I have 4 daughters and they love your videos. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@ApexPredatorOutdoors]

I think you can use a heavy arrow with a short draw, you just have to know that it's going to shorten your range as well. If you always hunt and shoot animals within 25 yards a heavy arrow is just fine. But you are correct if you're shooting whitetail at 35 yards with a short draw and a light draw, you may need to have a lighter arrow.

[@KaitlynMausOutdoors]

Thanks for summarizing my video 😁😂

[@MommyOutdoors]

[@ApexPredatorOutdoors]

@@KaitlynMausOutdoors Lol Any time!

[@pik2490]

The thing with heavy arrows…You only need a certain amount of energy to make it through a whitetail. When you blast through it and bury your arrow into the ground you are wasting energy. Energy that you could turn into speed, and still could pass through the deer no problem. Medium weight arrow and cut on contact > everything.

[@ApexPredatorOutdoors]

@@pik2490 I agree. Too light of an arrow gives no penetration too heavy you waste speed. If your hunting pretty much anything bigger than a whitetail though a heavy arrow will ensure that if you hit bone a single bevel can still penetrate adequately.

[@dalehayslip5008]

Awesome 👍🏻 thank you did a great job on your arrows they shoot perfect for you

[@tobywilliamson5213]

Great video, I switched to a heavy arrow setup 2 years ago , it’s definitely a transition , and I’m shooting a broad head that costs 33.00 for one so I’m definitely more aware of my shots cause I’m not gonna lie, the farm I hunt owns over 100.00 in broad heads and axis arrows cause of misses , but I’d rather miss than wound an animal!!! Whatever works best for you is what I’d go with!!! Like you said not everyone is the same if that’s the case be one set up for us all !!! Good luck be safe and god bless

The two most important points for arrow selections for hunting are : #1- Accuracy #2- Quality , SHARP broadheads. All other choices are personal and your game application 🎯 Always enjoy your videos, good luck this fall.🌄

[@l.i.archer5379]

Also, rolling wraps around an arrow shaft works best using a computer mouse pad, because only the back end is on the pad and not the entire shaft. I also take a sharp blade and cut off the overlap on the wrap and just glue a vane over the seam.

[@simonhendry1]

Good information for woman and men bow hunters. Good for men who are shooting lower draw weights

[@austinphillips4658]

ever tried putting a field point in the insert so you have more room to grab so you don't burn yourself?

The good thing about wraps is the old fletching and glue peels off with them.

NOW ON SPINED ALIGNED ARROWS I THINK ITS BEST TO HAVE WRAPS END OPPOSITE OF ALIGN LINE , IF YOU USE WRAPS , I RARELY USE WRAPS , I TRY TO KEEP MOST OF THE WEIGHT TOWARDS THE BUSINESS END OF THE ARROW !!! i fletch 3 or 4 vanes perfect fully straight , no offset or helical , it will slow them down a bit ! for closer shots i like em to spin like drill bits lol ! for mid range ,i will build with both attributes from long range and short range arrows !!!

[@tylerisbell6916]

I like my arrows for my traditional around 600 grains at 50 pounds and my coin pound 550 grains at 60 pounds. You have to make sure you have enough front of center but when you add weight up front you need to make sure your spine is strong enough a good rule of thumb is 7-8 grains per pound

I tried to use the universal nocturnal nock and found I got more nock pinch when I switched to the nockturnal for my particular arrow which for me are goldtip they fit better . That was just my experience I could get consistent flight with them

[@jimlahey3919]

The nocturnal are much thicker than most standard nocks so nock is practically inevitable and need to be taken into account when putting tying on a nock point and D loop

when equipping rifle cartridges, it is very important that one cartridge does not differ from the others in weight, length, thickness of the neck of the hitch case, it seems to me that the technique is the same with arrows ..... then everything will fly to one point 🙃

You definitely have a setup that works for you. You can have the best setup but without discipline and putting in practice time you might as well call it a target bow cause you have no business being in the woods. Great shooting, you looked even more comfortable shooting than in the past!!!!

[@blind-dateoutdoorssportsma547]

Very good to hear that you've moved to fixed, cut on impact broadheads. You're right about mechanicals, they fail. Just last year I watched another hunter shoot a caribou 8 times with mechanicals. The animal finally died but long after his last shot. Mechanicals are really bad on penetration. As for white vanes, I love them. Sometimes I go all white. First, they are easy to track under low light. Second, white blends into the skyline. Lastly, IMHO and experience, deer don't view white as danger or an alarm. I even call deer to my stand with white. One of my sons killed his first deer with a bow because of the white socks he was wearing, no boots. The deer was so focused on the white socks, she never gave the 2 of us any concern, a 10 yard shot. Hood luck this season.
