Bowtech Core SS 2024 Bow Build With MFJJ!!!!

[@jesusisalive3227]

Im self taught on how to do pretty much everything. It ammuses me how similar you do things to how I've been doing them for the last 35 years. Started shooting a bow when I was about 8 years old. There has been a lot of trial and error over those years to end up where im at now. 😊

[@harveyrousejr.2069]

I've finally found a pro shop in my area that is awesome and very competent.

[@toddzoro9831]

MFJJ is a good dude. I'm just getting back into archery hunting after a 35 year hiatus. I live in NJ (unfortunately); MFJJ has been very gracious in answering questions. He deserves our support.

[@prestonweatherby314]

I order all my archery stuff from his company ran very well and my experience with customers service was awesome and love he supports vets and active duty first responders will always buy from them for my archery need

[@donthornton7528]

Started watching about 8 months ago you and the guys (elkshape) are fun to watch glad Bodie Turner can help you get the job done. Your tip on using your local shop says what kind of guy you are. Appreciate you

[@blackbeard0323]

About damn time you finally decided to build the best bow!

[@ojamnitr]

My next bow for sure. Love the adjustment for the cams. Good vid bro My only request would be that you show the tuning process for the builds as well. It just feels like a cliffhanger when the build videos end lol

[@jasonwatson2679]

I ordered a 10 degree down adapter and had questions about modifying it and he was more than helpful over email. Shipping took a bit but I am in FL. Would gladly order from again.

[@michaelc1839]

Mfjj needs to open a store in Australia. We sorely need some top notch archery fellas over here.

[@htt2128]

I love watching you channel and have learned a lot from your teachings. i was wondering if you had ever considered using a Blake's hitch instead of the football clamp for your rest cord?

[@Gerry-w7q]

Hello Josh always great videos . I'm glad you and Tim have a chance to test all the equipment that I don't get a chance to check out..Here i Pennsylvania my local bows shops only Carry's a few big company's. Like Mathews, Hoyt and Bowtech. Or another shop carries Mathews and Elite. But I'm Looking At The Elite Omnia because of the 32 axle to axle. I'm a short guy At 5'7" with around 28 draw. But I really can't go to much more then 32" bow. For my height.

[@Antlersandarrows]

I'm 5'6" and run 33 inch bows and have for years. What's your height have to do w axle to axle on a bow?

[@Gerry-w7q]

@@Antlersandarrows 5'7" wow that's good I didn't realize I could use a 33 axle thanks

[@WendellAbigania]

Try checking out the Elite Ethos if your local shop has it. It's a 33" ATA bow and has good reviews. Also with that draw length at 28" I don't see any trouble you'll have with a longer bow. It'll end up being more forgiving during your draw cycle and shots. I like shorter ATA bows for ground blind hunting and my draw length is between 28-29"

[@josephacker5716]

Awesome rocking the Linkin Park tshirt. 🤘🤘🤘🤘Can you do a review of some of the new Xpedition and Obsession bows? I've been very curious about them.

[@Thedesertplumber]

We need some more sight options for the core mount!

[@cragar]

Curious as to why you didn't do the 3rd axis on the sight? I have this setup myself & took the dual trac from my Carbon Icon over to my Core SS & upgraded to the centermass mount on the Core SS. I may switch to the standard mount, because, like you I run my sight all the way in.... and also have my drop rest all the way in after torque tuning. Have had the bow about a month now - still fiddling with it.

[@ILhunter23]

Cool vid, I wanted to see the tuning of these bows

[@jeffspencer7489]

I noticed you put the limb cable on the axle feature. I’ve seen others suggest that the position of your limb cable is dependent on the timing of your rest. Rest timing is dependent on the position fore / aft on the limb. I ran an experiment and it did impact how long the arrow was supported. Have you looked into it?

[@WendellAbigania]

Hamskea actually has a detailed explanation/recommendation about the location of where to mount the actuation cord on the limb. It's a very interesting read. Something about you want rest support around 50-70% of the power stroke or shot cycle of the cam. Less than 50% the arrow might lose support before reaching it's speed where it can guide itself. Above 70% there can be a greater chance of added shock introduced to the rest at the shot. And lastly fletching contact can happen above or below the acceptable guidance range. Everything is dependent on the bow make/limb design, draw length, and draw weight of the bow.

[@Johnbobon]

0:48 What is it about bows that can extend an extra inch of draw length that prevents them from being finicky or falling out of tune in comparison to those that max out at 30" DL?

[@jordancler931]

Bro if you take 3/4" heat shrink and put it on the centermass bracket that comes off the bow it makes a great stop reference point. I can show you!

[@spencersmith3884]

Love the shirt!

[@jasonlainhart5274]

Love all the content

[@andydillon447]

I have a core ss lovely bow ,but do check out the cost of parts from Bowtech .Most of us derail our bows from time to time ,but when your repair bill comes to 1/4 of the total bow cost its a shock.

[@ryansullivan9413]

Yoke tuning video would be nice Also a drawboard update would be appreciated

[@Holledel]

I love the limb driven ratchet on my sequel 33

[@PennNative]

Josh, Will that rest fit Mathews bows with there angled cable guard? Thanks

[@WendellAbigania]

@1:45 Josh has it on his LIFT33

[@jonesy1986-e3u]

Question, will you have to relevel your sight with the string, if you have to move your cams during the tuning stage? Or will it be so small it won't matter that much?

[@scottgulden7035]

Will you give a review of how it shoots?

[@paulheberling2750]

Linkin Park! 🙌

[@mattthadd4663]

I can’t wait to get an SS or SR.

[@nathansampson4162]

So the axle to axle on the SS34 is too short? But the lift 33 is good?

[@sihunter2920]

Could you make a video bow build on a prime nexus line because i have not seen a video that goes into detail like your videos,and there diffrent bow on tha way that it has more cables and set up.keep up the great work

[@shortbuslife3440]

You'll probably hate this idea but how about some reviews of the cheaper Chinese bow packages? They make some good budget starter bows and mid range stuff.

[@jimlacek6847]

Do you use split limb dampeners?

[@steveschultz8887]

Another great video

[@Vaulterboy05]

Josh, how come you didnt put a peep in this build initially? Just curious!

[@aaronhall765]

I wanna see you shoot it. Do you have to run longer D loop. Because draw max at 30"?

[@Angel.Custodio]

I used the Ripcord Drive limb driven and I felt the string kept slipping on the rest, cause the blade to rise. Is the new rip cord better or is it the same attachment style?

[@chris_f_eden]

I love my Core SR

[@arnaldorivera546archery]

MFJJ I have one bow and I'm trying to used for 3d and hunting I'm trying to use the same arrow. Which arrow weight I should use

[@dannydean5449]

Josh I've heard you say previously as well as in this video that peak DL set up is hard to keep in tune. What have you experienced that leave you with that conclusion? I'm 31" so guess I'm screwed? I holy ask because close to 40 years in Archery and I've never heard anyone say that before. Lol thanks bud!

[@nate_krysl]

Is there a way to run the -10 degree offset you sell with the offset mount?

[@michaelniemeyer2998]

Yes if you buy the gen 2 offset mount it will screw into the offset hole and you can mount your stabilizer into the 10 degree offset with the quick disconnect. Currently what I am running on my bow.

[@randythomas4050]

Won’t the rest cord pad interfere if you need to press the bow? I’m currently shooting the Core SS.

[@bham311]

Other than changing the cable/string why would you need to press it? I’m only asking because my Solution SS has never been in a press except when I GAS strings installed.

[@randythomas4050]

@@bham311 what about installing a peep or a cable for drop away rest?

[@bham311]

@@randythomas4050 I don’t shoot a peep and I had my fall away rest installed when I had the GAS strings installed.

[@Silbar89]

I hope in this video there's some shared perspective as to why the SS was chosen over the SR.

[@timmurphy3769]

Right at the start mate. He needs 30.5 inch draw, or so and sr only goes to 30inch max. Josh doesn't like maxing bows out draw length. Ss goes to 31inch.

[@Silbar89]

Fair enough! (If it wasn't obvious I wrote that comment before the video dropped)

[@mulliganjack]

So when you paper tune, you are getting your center shot set then moving the cam to get your bullet hole. Why would you then move the arrow rest to broadhead tune, Why would you not move the cams specially if you have a biotech?

[@Lucky-si9hy]

Just get a ar 10 and a few boxes of federal fusion ...save that for when the ammo runs out

[@henrybright8531]

No peep?

[@Practice2Perfection]

My experience with the Riocord was bad. I shoot 50 shots a day on average. Every 100 to 200 shot, sometimes more or less, the ratchet knob locking screw would back out and stop the fall or the rest. Sending my arrow to the ground hard, ricocheting to space. Or giving me huge tail high tears. I can't apply locktite one the screw for fear of getting the mechanisim locked up or slowed. It also felt a lot cheaper built than QAD or a Hamskea. Definitely won't be using them again. Just my experience. Edit: Also, the vertical microadjust was too sloppy. When you untighten the locking screw to microadjust vertically, there was a TON of slop. Like 10 click worth. Even though it went back to the same place after locking screw is tighten. It didnt inspire much confidence in the scenario that the screw came loose even a littlle because it would have a drastic impact.

[@michaelc1839]

My local is terrible. I travel an extra hour for a less than local shop who actually know what they are doing.

[@Elkaholics]

Josh lets make a video or do podcast together (in person)

[@drewolm]

To me accessories are important for bows. I was almost on board with Bowtech. I saw the new black gold sight for the Bowtech riser and starting getting excited. Then I saw that hideous stupid looking quiver and said F this thing. Unbelievable they would half ass it like that. Bowtech needs to take a page from Mathews book and care about the stuff you mount to the bow.

[@RzAk-ut1hb]

Mfjj, I think it's great you tackling this build but I really don't care to watch you waste video installing parts, Kinda boring, nothing against you personally. Skip the boring stuff. And give us a clip that maybe concerning things that don't jive. Just my opinion which doesn't mean much to most. Lol, thanks for everything else you do.

[@RomyArms]

Dude. I did give you a shot and ordered something from you and it was a terrible experience!!! The person I spoke to was absolutely arrogant and lacked knowledge of what I was inquiring about. It was past the point of arrogance, it was like talking to a highschool boy with an extreme attitude. Also, the owner (Josh I think is his name) was not much different or better than the original guy. I will never order from there again.

[@j.s.3414]

Poor baby.

[@Angel.Custodio]

I only ordered once and had a great experience, they actually sold me something cheaper that was a better fit.

[@RomyArms]

@@j.s.3414 why? Because I care about how I'm treated? Because I want to be deal with someone who has respect and good moral qualities. Because I want to deal with someone who cares about their customers and provides exceptional services. Your unintelligent comment shows that you have low values and no self respect. Sad

[@mikecrane285]

@RomyArms I live several hours away from their shop. I frequently purchase online or on ebay through them when I am unable to purchase locally. I have travelled all the way up there just to make purchases from their shop or to have them work on a bow. I have NEVER had an ugly or unpleasant interaction with them. Purchased a used bow from them several years ago, and had them repair my new SX80 last year when I messed it up. I personally have had great interactions and will continue to support all of the great content Josh puts out. I am not saying you didn't catch someone on a bad day, but what do you really gain by this post?

[@RomyArms]

@@mikecrane285 It's fortunate for you to have had a great experience. I on the other hand absolutely did not. I will always hold people accountable, which is the purpose for this post. So you think just because your experience was great that those are the only reviews that should be available for others to read? You posted your experience as did I. I think people should have the right to hear negative reviews as well. Don't you?
