[@user-xw4sn4lq4h]

1) Ranch Fairy has a wizard 2) After listening carefully and watching the demonstrations, the wizard is correct and therefore the ranch fairy is also correct. 3) After ordering arrows from a few different sources some of the arrows were excellent and others from the same batch not so much which tells me that they didn’t use the squaring tool. I am not surprised but now I know why I got what I got! Thanks wizard 🧙‍♀️ and ranch Fairy 🧚‍♂️! You both are removing my excuse for being a talentless archer and a poor shot when I don’t practice consistently! 🏹🐗☠️🏹🦌☠️

[@RanchFairy]

Some of the variability you see amongst different brands is literally the carbon consistency / quality. I was amazed by this. For instance, I bare shaft brand X 250 spine / 250 up front. Change brands and say a linear carbon to one with a weave on the outside. 250 spine / 250 up front. The bare shafts generally wouldn't be the same. I figured 250 is 250!

Glad to have found you! The Trad Lab, Jimmy Blackmon and The Push always were (and largely still are) my go-to for trad stuff, but there's a lot of compound nonsense online and it feels wonderfully reassuring to have found someone who backs up what they're talking about with objectivity. I've also never found anyone as thorough with arrows, of course. It's interesting that arrow tuning seems to be a much bigger thing in trad but I've honestly heard terribly few people talk about it for compound hunting.

[@RanchFairy]

Arrow tuning is the same for a stick pushed by any string. Compound guys all think they can make a bow “shoot” an arrow

[@RohannvanRensburg]

@@RanchFairy I was told that multiple times by various compound guys. I was asking about point weights, insert weight, bareshaft tuning and most of them seemed to paper tune to pick an arrow spine (with children's arrows) and then be off to the races. I was initially surprised to hear that many people didn't get passthroughs on deer when I managed to with a 56# longbow lobbing a 550gr arrow at 170fps, but I understand why now.

Good advice...i personally like to marker up and square the end of insert as well. Most inserts are mass produced with low quality control. sometimes i find high points or surface is square but not perfectly flat.

[@DIYSportsman]

Good tip. That's one reason why I like slow cure epoxies. I skip the dry fit and usually go from squaring right to gluing, and then spin test until it's perfect and let it cure with the broadhead still in.

What's your opinion on using hot glue to attach the insert?

[@chancetorres9457]

@@alexnicely8059 hot glue is the only way to go if you are doing this kind of tuning. Cause if you insert is a little loose and spinning the arrow throws off your mark a bit you can set it solid and add heat to it to make adjustments

[@boblynn9168]

Hey Troy, while squaring the insert side of the arrow, you should also stress squaring the nock side too. That is just as critical to arrow flight as the string pressure on release will cause the arrow to fly wonky if not square too. FYI... i know you probably know this Jedi Master.

[@voxpopuli905]

Hey guys I can’t remember exactly what comment section it was. But some of us were talking about what arrows what inserts what draw length we had etc etc etc. I mentioned I got the Easton 6.5 acucarbon. I found them to nock tune quite quickly and so on. However they’re pretty weak. I was shooting a new bow that I love btw, Halon32 and I shot until I could barely hold the bow steady. My last shot I moved and I hit the dovetail joint on my 3D deer target on the legs. It’s freakin plastic. Well it totally shattered the arrow like a cheap piece of Chinese goods. My gold tip cheap ass cut downs are tougher than that. Don’t get the Easton 6.5 for building adult arrows. Gold tip hunter XT or black eagle or grizzly stick something that’s actually proven to be strong

[@chadboxdorfer4899]

I had some Easton flatlines and for every deer I shot, they’d break. I’ve shot the same single gold tip shaft through 4 deer and it’s still solid

[@voxpopuli905]

@@chadboxdorfer4899 currently have a 6pack of gold tip hunter pro, 4fletch. .0001 straight tol. And I’ve bumped up to a Mathews VXR. These arrows are great. I been shooting what’s left of the easton 6.5 and I’ve broken two more due to a target shift, and the incoming arrow hits another. It actually hit my gold tip cut down 340 and then the 6.5 and the Easton broke. As well as breaking the incoming 6.5. What a joke. I had much higher expectations for that arrow. That design is awesome but they need to change up the material and they need to spiral them in a weave pattern opposing each other not going all one way like threads on a screw.

[@jeffzirkle8728]

I once built a dozen arrows from factory 2nds. 200 arrows, I will not say the company, but out of 200 arrows, I squeezed out 12 that spun as true on at least one end. The end that spun true, it got squared, then the other end was lobbed off and spun again till it spun true, then all arrows cut to length and squared. I wish I would have known about insert tuning. Never gave it a thought. But out of those dozen arrows that I shot in house at the bow shop, I might have 4 left, I Robinhood the crap out of them lol, and they went through 4 different bows. I believe they are slap worn out because they stopped grouping at 60 yards. They still shoot good at 20 yards, but I do not practice at 20 yards.

Practical Tactical It’s crazy

[@30cpe]

Hmm, something new to try. Honestly, I haven't had all that much trouble with the inserts. I've used 3Rivers brass and Gold Tip brass and both spin true with Black Hornets or Stingers. I cut my own shafts using an antique metal lathe and a Dremel type cutoff tool, so I know the ends of the shaft are square. I've not found one that was tighter on one end than the other. Seems like quality control might be lacking on those. I've used Beman, Easton, and Gold Tip with the same results. I do nock tune though, so I'm looking forward to your video on that. I have also nock tuned fletched shafts, which seems to make a huge difference.

[@johnwalter6410]

Never thought of doing this

[@northerntimberoutdoors9319]

Great advice, I would definitely agree that it isn't the broadheads fault for bad flight usually but I rarely hear people complain with expandable heads about inconsistent flight. Especially when you consider the fact that your average guy shooting expandable heads usually shoots further more confidently. (At least this is the case in my friend circle)

[@RanchFairy]

Northern Timber Outdoors kzbin.info/www/bejne/nou9ZGl-nsl9fdk This is the problem. People think it an arrow hits a deer or elk with a light mech - it will magically penetrate that very inconsistent medium. They are wrong

[@edwardpockett4862]

Great videos no crap/bs, Look forward to the nock tune, as going to be building some arrows soon for a hunt in Spain in March wild boar and red deer ! Gold tip arrow 100grains of brass and 200grain cutthroat broadhead hopefully do the trick!! Watching from UK.

[@RanchFairy]

Edward Pockett Outstanding!!! Keep your shots low and forward, preferably quartering away. Watch my shot placement videos and see others where I do autopsies. It matters a lot When you are stalking, If they see you, they don’t have a neck, they tend to spin toward you and give you a hard quartering in shot. SQUAT down to shoot horizontally, if possible and pound them in the neck shoulder junction. It will break them! Send me pictures! [e-mail]

[@michaelrosa5410]

I always have cork screwed my inserts in so the insert glue and shaft are completely covered and sets up right,then push down on the arrow on a hard surface to make sure it sets up flush. Key is to make sure your shafts are cut clean,squared and cleaned up inside and the edge has no burrs. .

[@OutdoorShellback]

I am a believer again (still?). After spinning some Beman Centershot's a couple days ago with my Magnus Stingers I found that most of them were wobbly. Granted, they're a couple years old and shot plenty of times, but it was obviously time to build some new one's for this season. Last night I followed through with this vid's teachings and it was obvious that there is a particularly better way to orient the insert into a particular shaft. You can't just say it's all the same. At least when the season comes I can't blame the broadheads...

[@RanchFairy]

OutdoorShellback More tricks to come along!!

[@Justin-zs1ql]

Not sure if anyone already mentioned it but if you can get your hands on some silver sharpies it makes the squaring part a little easier to see.

I've been rewatching the playlists since I'll be helping a few buddies out with their builds and am already getting the itch to build a new one for myself. Glad to see your channel growing. Keep up the good work. God bless.

[@daemon1143]

It would be interesting to see a well cut & squared shaft with the knock and insert set at the worst position, against a matching shaft with both in the best tuned position, shot from a machine mounted bow; bare shaft and fletched. There would be no arguing with the importance of the tuning if the quantifiable results were different under these circumstances. Seems nuts to go to extremes on bow quality and tuning then piss those small gains away with poor arrow build. Even on field points I suspect that asymmetrical weight on the shaft ends would cause deviation in the shaft flight during the early high flex portion of arrow travel. Thanks for sharing Mr Fairy.

[@RanchFairy]

Daemon You bet. It’s such an easy thing to solve but I get tired of hearing “X brand broadhead isn’t straight”. The broadhead manufacturers are not trying to put out inferior products. That’s all I care about. Excellent broadhead flight. This helps as part of the overall equation.

[@blaineholcomb2118]

Question - when you tune an insert and spin test it with a broadhead, won't it only spin true with that broadhead. If you screw another broadhead into that insert couldn't it show some wobble? Or will every broadhead spin perfectly?

[@DomT0311]

Had a problem with this today actually, now I'm confused as to what to do.

[@mm2_Arya]

Correct. What i would do is mark your broadhead with the arrow you tuned it with. A simple number or letter will make it easy to match them back up

[@tristenrodney8682]

@Reyansh Trey yea, have been using flixzone} for months myself :D

[@kennethrobie8789]

You need to add one more step to your insert tune. You must match up the broadhead/insert straightness so that the broadhead ferrule spins as true as the arrow shaft. You should marry one broadhead to one arrow for as perfect alignment as possible.

[@nevin3123]

thanks mate

[@jaysears06]

Silver sharpie works good too.

[@travisbowers5143]

I dont understand how would you insert tune if you first need to shoot the test kit of field points to see what weight flies the best? You wouldnt know what size insert you are going to use until you try a diff combo of point weights- then you settle on what hits the best and figure out what insert wt and head combo you are going to use. That said , you are going to have to glue your insert in to test so what if you find the 300grain field tip flies the best(stock insert) and you have 150grain broadheads so you are going to need a 150grain insert. How do you get the old insert out, and do you then try to insert tune it? Maybe i've overthinking this or thinking wrong but I dont get how this is possible if you go thru this process from scratch

I’m onboard. My final inserts slide in/out easy and your spinning method here has been tough to do with about half my arrows b/c of the fit. Going to switch from CA to epoxy and and use an arrow spinner (instead of spinning the point on the countertop) which I think will fill the “slop” and hold things in place while I spin them in the fixture, plus allow me tweak them while the epoxy sets.

Troy, I've been watching your videos and love the science behind it! I'm a golf professional and have been making and tinkering with clubs for over 30 years and many of the same issues happen with club building. I've been shooting the standard 400 spine arrows with 100 grain broadheads for years and have killed many deer, but have also not been as consistent as I would like. Watching one of your videos with the Hunting Public, I noticed you put Ted into a 300 spine with 225 grains up front. Like Ted, I shoot 60 lbs with a 28" draw length. You stated in this video that there seems to be a honey spot with these set ups and the 300/225 arrows. I would like to move to a heavier, more FOC arrow for next years deer season.

fisho joe Absolutely gonna blow through one! Send me pictures!!! See my latest 43# high FOC pig kill video. If you have any further questions - [e-mail]

[@matthewlemura8111]

When you put your inserts in do you make sure your broad heads line up the same way. With a 2 blade are they vertical, horizontal, on an angel or does it not matter. When you start nock tuning they might be all different ways

[@RanchFairy]

Matthew Le mura I make sure the inserts are straight and then nock tune. I haven’t messed with trying to put all the broadheads the same.

[@dmorgan724]

Crazy question of the day... when building your arrows.. is it a good idea to set the broadhead in a position that puts the main blades at 12 to 6 O'clock.. and inline with most cock vanes? It seems this set up would also help slip the broadhead between ribs in the rib cage adding to a complete pass through. I used to do this when building my shafts when using flappers. Id spin test the insert, add the broad head, then fletch the shaft with the head in the 12 O'clock position. What Im really asking is if this a good idea or not needed

[@RanchFairy]

Uh - wow!! You do you!!! But I think you might be kidding and then if so - we’ll played

[@dmorgan724]

@@RanchFairy -- LOL!! No! I was truly curious when build a better set up (adult arrows) using the Black Hornet, most likely but possibly the Magnus Stinger broadhead. I realize, when shooting an adult arrow hitting bone isnt an issue. Not having a clue about this IS my problem. Jus trying to look at all the angles, as it were.

[@RanchFairy]

@@dmorgan724 Ok - so it’s all about arrow flight first See my video bare shaft tuning process and how to order ranch fairy arrows Get the flight nailed and your broadhead choice is great

[@chuckbacon4712]

Your opinion.. Inserts or outserts? And why..TY in advancec

[@RanchFairy]

Inserts - because they are simple and easy.

[@doneddy2204]

Does the wizard have this all written down somewhere, or is there a good book defining these steps to making quality arrows

[@RanchFairy]

Don Eddy He does somewhere in the man cave. That’s why I did my High FOC insert tune and my bare shaft / nock tuning videos. That process takes a long time. Game changer.

[@Austin_Mitchell1]

Will spinning arrows on a arrow spinner work the same? Or are you doing this on a table to keep it all together since it’s not glued in.

[@RanchFairy]

Austin Mitchell Spinners work On a table because anyone can do that

[@mtg42c1]

What if your insert is not square. Then what do you do?

[@adamholt4274]

Which insert glue have you found works best with the apollos?

[@RanchFairy]

JB weld

[@mr.skeptical3071]

I thought you were supposed to cut full length 1/8" at a time. Your saying to go ahead and cut them all way down?

[@RanchFairy]

for trad, you cut them because the arrow bends around the riser. It's a bit more work. For compounds, with all the variability and a straight release - cut them to length. Sure, you could start with a full length arrow, on a compound and leave the point weight the same, cut till it flies....but I AM NOT doing that video. Super pointy hat with a portion of OCD and a smidgeon of ADD. I'd have to start a pharmacy or liquor store.

[@justinriegel8142]

Can expand on the wobble? I am using 551 grain set up including a 125 grain tooth of the arrow on front. I am trying to insert tune everytime I spin it, it looks great no matter which direction the insert is? What am I missing?

[@RanchFairy]

Justin riegel That’s ideal.

[@DadDnumba1]

Nice videos!! Just tried this but having some complications on my new dozen of BEA Ximpact, Ethics Insert/Outsert & Broadheads(Solid Legends/similar to Ironwill 125gr & Wasp Darts 100gr). Seems to be more of a mix and match as to which broadhead best produces less wobble for arrow than rotating the insert. As i try one broadhead/insert/arrow i will get a wobble no matter how i rotate but can switch shafts until find the right shaft with no wobble on the right broadhead. Is this possible its the broadhead mainly the WaspDarts produce the most wobble as the SL's are pretty spot on

[@bradyhoglund5630]

Does the weight of the insert matter? What weight would u recommend to get a higher FOC? I shoot 29" arrows at 70#

[@RanchFairy]

Brady Hoglund Weight of insert is part of whole “point” weight First 3 videos here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIrHZ4OKpt10ntE

[@RanchFairy]

For you - 250 spine only. Don’t mess with 300’s

[@CYOTsNiper]

how would you tune with the shorter stock insert? I just order some Hunter XTs was planning on using the stock aluminum insert

[@RanchFairy]

Same

[@guitarboy1997jo]

So this happens after you figure out the handload? Do you just take the insert out of the test arrow and tune it to your broadhead?

[@RanchFairy]

Yes - when you’re doing your final build. Make sure inserts are straight.

[@ericgustafson1704]

Trying to insert tune(GT acculite). Spinning on smooth poly cutting board. With a 125 grain broadhead(g5 monotec, i know! Im moving to adult broadheads soon) installed, it always spins true no matter what position the insert is in. When i tey it with a 100gr head it will never spin true despite moving it a 32nd of an inch at a time. What gives?

[@ericgustafson1704]

Okay, so i just spun my other 125 and it will spin perfect in one spot, but not others. All of the 100s i have spin wonky, some have sweet spots that spin better than other spots, but they all have wobbles in the same shaft. Does this mean that i have one really bad broadhead, and two semi-wonky ones? Thats what it seems like would be the most likely answer.....

[@RanchFairy]

@@ericgustafson1704 Some Broadheads aren’t straight....... Tip bend Etc -

[@ericgustafson1704]

@@RanchFairy ugh. Out of the five i have, three of them were new in the box never shot. Only of the will spin true, and both of the old ones do spin true. Looks like im done with G5. On a happy note, I'll be getting adult broadheads sooner than i thought! Thanks for the dust!

[@ryanclark1841]

Here is my situation I want your opinion. My arrow with a 125 grain one piece single bevel is 437 grains 12% FOC. Same arrow with a 200 grain head is 502 grains 17% FOC. Im using black eagle rampage arrows 300 spine with half outserts. Total weight up front is 254 grains. My draw length is 27.5", my draw weight is 67#. Both Broadhead are cancelled one piece single bevel. Thanks, I think I already know the answer. (It's kind of a big boy arrow). Everyone is telling me lighter arrow for speed 12-15 FOC!

[@RanchFairy]

Ryan Clark Excellent - well by RF standards the first arrow is a skeet load and the second is a heavy dove load. Adult begins at 550! Magnum over 650 - 😂 With that set up and 300 spine you can shoot 450 up front so, all good. Here’s the practical answer - the 500 grain arrow is maximized for damage. You are not going to experience any crazy rainbow effect. Just don’t tell your friends! Tell them they are the light ones! You will experience more consistent flight, quieter bow and should you accidentally hit one of these things called bones. The potential to break and penetrate is very high. We see big jumps in performance with arrows over 16% FOC. Send me pictures!!!!! [e-mail]. Stay tuned. Test lab opens in a month or so. New practical application on the way.

Where do you want pics sent. My Broadhead are back ordered until March but when they come in I will send you some

[@CoreySchwanz]

Thoughts on the Ethics spinning inserts? Would those eliminate the time needed for insert tuning shown here and would they work as well?

[@RanchFairy]

Corey Schwanz Not tested by me. No idea. Nock tuning is the other side of the arrow. The PUSH side. The arrow flexes. Nock tuning seeks the spot they all flex the same. No ez buttons

[@CoreySchwanz]

@@RanchFairy Fair enough, was just browsing their site after ordering the field point kit and saw them. Got my 250 and 300 spine arrows yesterday to do some testing, looking forward to jumping into this side of things this fall!

[@bobrown8466]

I’m loving this stuff! Had been floundering with poor penetration with what “the industry” was telling me was the way to go-light arrows and floppy flappers. You’ve given me a direction to go! One question so far-once that arrow is insert tuned with a Broadhead, is it only tuned to that specific Broadhead? Can you switch Broadheads or does that head forever belong to that arrow.

[@RanchFairy]

Bo Brown As long as the broadhead spins - they can move around. I prefer to number particular heads and arrows and leave them for hunting. The best of the the best

[@jamesmarsee3297]

Do you have to do this with the footer ? or just the insert. TIA
