Long range bow shooting- Equipment set up

[@markio2010]

I learned some good stuff. Thanks

[@tjmperez]

Great stuff Phil! Love the channel and I am a big fan!

[@OpIndependence]

Great advise. at some point I would love to cruz down to your shop and have someone check out my setup and see if it can be tweaked at all...enjoyed the vid.

[@AlphaBowhunting]

Yes sir. Bring it on by

[@timberg7377]

i would love to see you talk about effective range, i have students that think if they hit an 8in plate at 60 yards, they can hunt at that distance.

[@matthewkyle2534]

60 yards. Send it bro.

[@OmarGravity]

Great tip on the secondary mark on the single pin sight. How do you feel about raising the peep sight 1/4 - 1/2" to gain more distance for your sight?

[@jtsoutdoorsandmore8136]

Great video , great tips ! Thanks bro!!!!

[@MRB34STAtCoD]

What did you to make your sight tape? What program did you use? I need to make some sight tapes for different arrow setups that look nice and I can read.

[@AlphaBowhunting]

Archers advantage

@@AlphaBowhunting Thank You very much!!!!

[@hawaee07]

I have the same sight, but having an issue with arrow clearance going past 60yds. I want to range out at further distances for 3D targets(80-100+), do I need to adjust anchor, peep, or my sight? Thanks for any advice and great videos.

[@AlphaBowhunting]

hawaee07 you may need to modify a combination of your anchor and your peep height

[@hawaee07]

Alpha Bowhunting thanks

[@waynemaster2752]

And you need to get your weight up

[@scottskiles7779]

@@waynemaster2752 wouldn't increasing weight run his fps one his target 290? Adding weight would necessitate a heavier arrow to keep fps down.

[@SoloCamXTOutdoors]

Alpha - Great video, you were spot on across the board. I subbed ya.

[@NickW.H.]

Thanks for the video Phil. I'm looking for a recommendation on a five pin adjustable sight. What sight do you recommend or prefer? I'm just a hunter, but these 3D's anymore have these long shots and I'm tired of just winging arrows haha.

[@AlphaBowhunting]

There are many great sights on the market so the easiest way to determine which way to go is price. I like the Black gold Ascent Verdict and the Spot Hogg fast eddie xl for a $200-250 sight. I like the Black Gold Pure and the Axcel Accutouch for a 350$ sight. In all fairness to Spot Hogg, I haven't ever tried their Hog father.

[@NickW.H.]

Hey thanks man. That gives me some insight. I have people tell me, oh you've got to get this sight or that sight when thats the only sight the've used. I like the fact that you've used these sights. I'm assuming I can get different size pins with these sights. What size pin do you recommend for hunting?

[@AlphaBowhunting]

On my 5 pin driver set ups I like to have my top two pins as .019 and the next 3 as .010.

[@NickW.H.]

Nice, I was thinking 4 pins with .019 and my bottom pin a .010, but I like the idea of the bottom 3 being the smaller pin. Our local bow shop shut down last fall so I want to have an idea of what I want before I drive 3 hours to a bow shop. Thanks again for the info, I really appreciate it.

[@redxj4968]

Bringing the dovetail in increases the clearance too correct? So the slider will be in more making the adjustments larger

[@AlphaBowhunting]

Red XJ yes it would give you a touch more arrow clearance but your pin gap will also change in your housing assuming you are shooting a multi pin slider

[@406unltd3]

Good knowledge bombs thanks👊🏻

[@tymorgan3431]

How much room do you recommend between the arrow shaft and the bottom of my sight?

[@AlphaBowhunting]

Sorry about the late response on your question. If your question is specific to your arrow when you are at full draw and right before the shot the answer is I like to have the height of my vane plus about 1/8 of an inch. You can go less but for safety reasons I would not. This also depends on your fletch configuration. If you are shooting a 4 fletch you can get away with a touch less assuming you are not shooting one vane straight up.

[@tymorgan3431]

Thank you!! Also my Black Gold ascent, the sight tape only goes out to 100 yards what tape system do you guys use?

[@billythekid6418]

A two pin site at 100 yards is Not Long Range feller.

[@AlphaBowhunting]

👍🏽

[@dustinh4175]

Hot tip. Center bottom sight pen in center of peep sight and squeeze the trigger and slowly relax and watch your arrow. Stop light a smoke, take a sip of your Coors, relax. Deep breaths, put cig down and be the arrow.

[@johnlaccohee-joslin2113]

What an insult, Long bows were never shot using a release aid for wimps, the string goes on three fingers, one above and two below the nock of the nock of the arrow, this it why a finger tab is used, usually of leather.

[@AlphaBowhunting]

John Laccohee-Joslin thanks for you opinion. This video does not really apply to Traditional equipment

[@kalikasurf]

Long bow? Long bows are for wimps!!! Use a rock and a stick like a real man!
