Great show guys. I've followed the Ranch Fairy for many years. Now I'm following you. I'm shooting 655 at 25% FOC. 200 single bevel, 100 insert. 29" Grizzly Stick 240 Spine tapered arrow. It's unstoppable.

We truly appreciate you following and supporting us!

Hey Troy, I do appreciate the time you put into informing us. But I'm having trouble grasping all this math lol. Can you point me in the right direction? I shoot a 2019 raven R20. I want a harder hitting arrow. I lost 4 does and almost lost a smaller buck at 72 yards. I need something that drives straight through and keeping a tight group? Thank you in advance.

RF is correct about if you use a low poundage bow you need weight. Not just front loaded either, need a bit heavier gpi for penetration. Ive tested this with single cam bows and the best arrow i found for low ibo bows is an axis 300. I tried my Victory RIP XV elk setup with a 200g broadhead and it doesnt work as well as the same broadhead on an axis 300. Theres so much to this and it varies from person to person from setup to setup. Its takes time and a shit ton of money to get it perfect.

Ive found the best arrow shafts to achieve FOC and great arrow flight are RIP XV 250 shafts. The GPI is 8.1 which is insane and the shaft is rated at + -.001, lowest GPI I've found for a 250 spine. i also bought the test kit in Apollo, the RIP XV spun better than those shafts.

Thanks for tuning and and we appreciate your feedback

[@C.Adams82]

For high foc there is no better than the Victory RIP XV. With a 300 spine you can build a sub 500 grain arrow with 20 % foc. It all depends on your componets and dl. My elk and mule deer arrow is a Victory RIP XV 25 grain ss hit insert, podium collar, 200 grain grizzly stik or tuffhead broadhead, with lightes nock its 462 grain with 22% foc. Its is an absolute missle. It will destroy any bone or scap that gets in its way. Tuning can be finicky with the 22 percent foc but it can be worked thru. The sound it makes shooting at targets is wicked when it hits.

[@C.Adams82]

Its not about heavy weight arrows, its about front loading the shit out of it.

[@stephenballard3759]

Why is nobody gluing 1/3 of a skinny shaft inside a fatter shaft, and THEN adding point weight and inserts.

Troy saying mechanicals cut the ke of your arrow by the number the broadhead company prescribes is either so ignorant it’s criminal or he’s just a liar. The broadhead company suggests you have that much ke for their head to work at 100% efficiency. They’re not saying that’s what it costa at impact. If that were the case you’d never make it thru an animal with a 50lb bow with rages and we see it time and time again working.

[@ParasitikOne]

To be fair some energy is lost with the deployment of a mechanical head… because to move something energy is used. I just don’t think it’s the numbers the companies put on the package I think that number is more of a minimum optimal performance number.

I asked Amish around here about Covid. Amish said Covid? I explained Covid. Amish said oh we don’t have Covid, we don’t have TV’s.

[@stephenballard3759]

Funny. That didn't help the Navajo.

[@stephenballard3759]

I just don't think that Troy is that weird. Must say something about me.

[@stephenballard3759]

Oops, he just mentuoned Jordan Peterson. Weirder than I thought.
