Don’t ever get rid of Nick! 😂 you guys are the best!!! 5’9” size 10 shoe… 😂😂 I spit my coffee out with that one ☕️😅

[@ericwiitala5407]

I can't wait!! I'm shooting a 300 spine, Easton Axis 5mm Match Grade w/ a 75 gr Easton insert, a 25 gr Iron Wills collar and 150 gr Iron Wills left single Bevel. 28.5" draw. Total weight is 610 gr. Bow is set at 63 lbs. The arrows are flying really straight (paper & knocked tuned )w/ my Broadheads. I didn'y have a grain # I was stuck on, it's just what they ended up being because they flew the best.

Love it! Ranch videos helped me with my setup. I shoot 60lbs 27in Easton axis arrows 340 spine (28.5 draw) with ethics archery half out 100g ss insert. Vpa 125g single bevel. Lighted nock. About 522 grains total with 18%foc. So far I’m 2/2 on deer. Fly like darts!

I have that same scale...mine has always been used to weigh other things. Good to know I can weigh my arrows with it.

[@calebdixon8583]

It’s interesting seeing these results as they are concepts that have been used with traditional bows for quite some time. The 600ish gr threshold high foc and heavy cut on contact broadheads are all things used to make slow bows more efficient and effective. Very cool watching the high speed vids ect! Keep up the good work!

[@marshallhaslett8717]

Love hearing your setups details and then seeing how they perform through the season.

[@corh2367]

33.5" draw means life is expensive. Mathews bow because Bear doesn't make a bow for me. Easton axis 5mm because they're the only arrow longer than 32". 552 grains with 125 grain head and no extra insert because I already reached the weight I was wanting although it's only about 11% FOC.

Arrow is a Deer Crossing Archery Huter Series, .300 spine, 4 fletch & 3 fletch, 100 gn ethics insert, i shoot & carry 3 different broadheads (because i can through the magic of broadhead tuning lol) 1st Tuffhead 200 gn w/bleeders, 2nd VPA single bevel, 3rd Woodsman Elite 3 blade 200 gn, total arrow weight between 584 & 586 gn's (we all know these heavy broadheads usually are couple grains heavier than the label state). According to the calculators I'm at smooth 22% FOC. God Bless to everyone of my hunting blood Brother's, may we have blessed, safe & successful season gentlemen 🙏

[@wvoutdoors8021]

Watching The Hunting Public and the ranch fairy helped me so much. Planning on doing a new set up this year.

[@feelslikefar50]

"Dutch Angle: The Dutch angle is a shot in which the camera has been rotated around the axis of the lens and relative to the horizon or vertical lines in the shot. The primary use of a Dutch angle is to cause a sense of unease or disorientation for the viewer." Troy will do that to some folks. 😉

[@ikerapt6702]

have been shooting a 400 grain arrow about 300 fps with an easton axis arrow and spitfire expandable on illinois deer for 20 years never a penetration issue. if you like heavy fairy arrows thats fine but 400 grains is perfect in my book

[@brendonhart6686]

Amen

[@mikeftball44]

I feel like arrow set up depends on the shooter and what a where they hunt. I don’t get many 20 yard shots so I shoot riptko 27” with 100 gr mechanical lighted nock with a 70lbs bow 29” draw. 425 gr total weight and 3 doe and a buck down last season. If i go hog I’ll def go heavier.

[@philgiuffre6390]

For inconsistencies with arrow flight with lighted nocks, may want to check nock fit. Lighted nocks are notorious for being too tight on factory servings.

[@OutdoorRhodes]

I have Greg’s drawings but because of an elbow surgery, I can only draw back 60 pounds. What kind of arrows set up do you think I should try 250 spine?

[@The_Judge300]

A stiffer spine is always better when shooting with a compound bow and modern rests today as there is no need for an arrow flexing around the riser without hitting it as it leaves the bow.

[@richarddean3154]

My setup seems tame in comparison. Victory VAP Elite .166 with 95-grain steel outserts, weighing about 460 grains with a 100-grain broadhead. Just over 17% FOC and full penetration every time. My arrows are significantly heavier than my hunting partners, primarily due to the heavy insert. Good luck this fall.

[@aarongilbertson3074]

This is a perfect arrow

Just went with the Ranch Fairy Sirius Apollo for this coming season. They are flying awesome. They aren't cheap by any means but I think they will be worth the money. Shooting the 150G Magnus single bevel also. 601Grain total.

[@DS-ip4ns]

Just got a new compound, gout victory rip tkos in 300sp, 75lb draw weight and 31” draw. I built my arrows at around 462gr. I have all 12 arrows within a .7gr range from high to low. I epoxied nails into the standard nocks to match the nocturnal nocks I’m using. I plan to shoot 100gr g5 montecs. I measured my FOC but can’t quite remember, I believe it’s 10-11%. 1) what’s your recommended foc? 2) how do I know where the switch point is in spine if based on arrow weight and foc? So if I want to get into the 550gr+ weight, at what point is my 300 spine too weak? 3) I have sparked an interest in the single bevel heads. Watching the potato test, I believe ranch fairy used inserts with bearings. If I wanted to shoot single bevels, would I need inserts with bearings? My bow clocks counterclockwise so I fletched with a counterclockwise helical. so I’d have to loctite any tips/broadheads. Is that sufficient or do I need to get different inserts. 4) I’ve never killed a deer in archery. Is a 462gr arrow with montecs a decent arrow? I just don’t want to wound/lose a deer because my arrow is too light

[@jrhunt414]

I’ve killed deer with a Rip 300 steel inserts and 125 Montecs. Does awesome. Big holes. Goes through bone on deer. Tough broadhead, easy to sharpen on flat stone. Stiff Light arrows with steel on the front work awesome. Get there faster too. I’ve shot all angles and even right through shoulders. Arrow tracks straight and goes into the ground on the other side.

[@claytonradabaugh3212]

How would I know if getting a heavier arrow would fly well with my bow?

[@a.j.taylor4401]

You have to get a couple of different spines and several different point weights and test it yourself. It can be alot of work but well worth it when you find the right combo. Every bow and every person is different so you have to tinker and find what is best for you.

[@kjellidso2460]

Should try out Valkyrie archery systems toughest arrows you will find

[@baileynichols3200]

Does the .204 supernova arrow call for a special sized broadhead? As far as thread size and all?

[@twysted_catalyst9096]

It shouldn't. I shoot the Gemini's, and I'm pretty sure they use the same inserts (which do take standard threaded broadheads)

[@ronaldirvineII]

[@pwarren1516]

After your last video I already ordered some single bevels and went with a different arrow set up. Should be somewhere between 450 and 470 grains. I'm hesitant to go over 500, lot of open country and 50+ yard shots out here.

[@twysted_catalyst9096]

It's definitely doable above 500! I'm shooting ~525 grains and am able to shoot out to 80 yards with no problem with a 28 inch draw and 68 lbs draw weight. I wouldn't go above 575 tho if you want to have pins that go beyond 60 yards

Serious question, what did you not have good results with? I'm assuming you're talking accuracy?

[@TheSouthernObsession]

Bingo man! All comes down to trying a little bit of everything and see what works best for you! It's funny most of these guys are shooting around the same draw and bow specs but all of them shoot different arrow setups. Some of the older hunting shows felt like everyone shot the exact same bow, arrow, broadhead and everything. I like that these guys all use whatever works for them!

[@Orr_s]

Jist go with good middle of the road, good spine and straightness and tuned bow. You can still have good FOC without shooting a crazy heavy arrow thats not necessary, and you’ll have much flatter trajectory and better pin gapping and tape. Animals wont have nearly as much time to move, and if you get a range wrong or they take couple steps the arrow will be much more forgiving than this heavy Ranch Fairy BS. He admitted whole reason he did that was to make up for poorly tuned bows
