Podium Levels? What the heck are they?! Find out with MFJJ!!

[@bryantrimborn9489]

Glad to see you using the levels to square everything up; including the arrow level and then marking the string. Never seen any shop do this,

[@Sticksniper0625]

Man thank you for everything. All the info you give is freaking awesome 🤘🏼I just received my bow press,braw board and bow vise. I’m looking forward to learn as much as possible from you guys ! You rock bro 🙌🏼

[@neilbolan8768]

Your tutorials are awesome! Really take the trepidation out of working on my own bow. Thanks!!!

[@steven_farmer89]

Thanks for re-uploading and fixing the sound. Can you do a review on the spinning inserts from Ethics Archery, is it the real deal or all smoke?

[@22snipes]

After I get my turkeys my bow is coming to ya Josh I need new strings and cables. Need the new hamskea rest and a tune 💪🏻💪🏻👌🏻

[@budlight924]

Just came across some of your videos and starting to watch more. Do you or someone you know have a video on how to select your first bow? Unfortunately I'm across the country and can't stop in. Really eager to learn. Thanks for any and all help.

[@richardwsmithjr3188]

I've learned so much from your videos ! Been shooting bows a long time , alot of trial and error but enough backyard experience to grasp what you're saying and why it makes sense. Why not have everything as precise as possible ! I love your approach to hunting arrows as well - lobbing 600 grain arrows - what are we hunting rhinos ?? . Over and over I keep thinking the same thought - do I get on a plane with my bow and come to your shop and get it setup right , or buy a ticket and fly you back east ?? Truthfully, bow shops around me sell bows ... Don't have a clue how to set them up. What's a second and third axis ?? You want me to put your bow on a draw board and measure the peep placement why ? Well we don't have a draw board here ? What's that have to do with a sight tape ? On and on , clueless

[@charlieselfe7289]

Hey. I have been watching you for a couple of months. Just wanted to say I really appreciate all you guys do on here. I have learned a lot from your videos.

[@jlrnky]

Just got mine in the mail today. Thanks MFJJ!

[@briandyck5719]

Thanks for the videos! Any chance you would do a review on the Ultraview UV3XL scope?

[@RobertWilliams82-22]

So why do we level the string and not the riser? I’m asking because I’m my head, When you shift cams over for tuning purposes then the string is not longer 100% level with the riser… I would see this more crucial especially with a sight like spot hogg without a 1 axis adjustment… and if you tune your bow right and nock travel is good then the angle of your string shouldn’t matter… leveling string could change your grip from bow to bow if they shim different for tune… wouldn’t leveling off the string put a “CANT” in your bow is you for example shim the bottom cam all the way left and leave the top cam centered…

[@RobertWilliams82-22]

And I understand that a riser will flex some, but is it seriously more then how far a bow sometimes requires to have a cam shifted over?

[@RobertWilliams82-22]

Also, I am no where near the shooter good enough to notice a difference… I’m just thinking in terms of a mathematical variance

[@podiumarcher3447]

I agree with your initial thought but that’s why you wheel lean your bow for tune before you level your sight. Your tune should be done before you even put a sight on the bow.

[@tomcable9998]

can you explain more on leveling to the string vs the riser. I spoke with 2 bow shops and they were firm on leveling to the riser. I'm not smart enough to explain why leveling to the string is better. I would think adjusting the cam would move the string off plumb from the riser (assuming the string was plumb to the riser from the factory). The shop leveled my sight to the riser, then I played with it at home and leveled it to the string, which was different.

[@alsmith7316]

My problem with these levels is that they are not cheap. My problem with using cheap levels is that they are cheap and basically do not work. These are not cheap, but I am so glad I broke down and made the purchase. These actually work and work well. Good job Josh..

[@reecearnold2825]

Mate Reece here from Australia 🇦🇺. Good info great reviews. Can you set up a hog hunting arrow your professional advice and how to set up a drop away rest with all these new cam systems. Cheers.

[@16jduran]

Quick question: Is it different to level from the riser than from the string? Or it’s best to level from the string always? Thank you

[@erroljohanning9625]

Could you do a quick video on fletching sizes and how they would be used . I am just getting started in arrow building and have a lot of questions on this subject.

[@mattmeraw6564]

Great video, helpfull information. Is the second axis adjustment on majority of sights or just the high end options?

[@jeffprovost5961]

Love your videos! How about a video on your thoughts and setup of a drop away rest if you get time. Mathews Integrate MX is on my mind. Been a diehard Hamskea guy for a while now, but thinking of going back to QAD just for the full containment.

[@josephbettis6584]

The wizard of bow....your the best ...love all your videos

[@nicetryb0z0]

Video topic if you havent already done it: bow hand pressure dispersion between contact and pressure point, avoiding reaching or heeling etc

[@dreaneau]

Ready for your 3 bow builds!!!! Hoyt, Matthews, BT

[@michaelmangino9819]

Cool video I appreciate all the great stuff you do to teach us vs. Just selling it.. I applaud you for that. As not to many people wanna share there knowledge. But either way no matter what it is. If your interested enough you will always find a way to learn . ✌💙🎯

[@Cparchery...]

Love the video I bought your string level so ill have to buy the arrow level can't wait to get rid of the cheap plastic ones

[@White_devil1980]

What are your views on the trophy ridge sights? Are they as good as the spot hog? Or is there any personal favorite you like?

[@fishingwithphil2582]

I have been bow hunting since the early 90’s and I am still struggling with a form of target panic. I get locked just low of the dot. Any help would be appreciated! Love everything you are doing!

[@michaelmangino9819]

I'd start with some more back tension on your loop. Pulling back harder or softer can help. I totally have that happen often also. Another thing that's helping is when I draw on target having my bow at about the correct level of middle of circle also helps bcuz your height is already established if you do this. ✌💙

[@billgotskillb4308]

Blank bail shooting

[@Grimhof]

Does the string change its angle at full draw, or is it just as level to the bow riser when its not at full draw?

[@mmcguire5687]

Have levels, need the vice! As an aside, can you do a comparison on chrono’s and in particular how ambient light (fluorescent) etc affect the accuracy of the chrono’s. My bow tech runs his chrono under fluorescent lighting, but if I move it closer to his window, the speeds are higher! Oh ya, I’m seriously a moron and like what your doing!

[@dmay5265]

Thanks. Great video. In layman’s terms too. Thanks for making me better. 🇺🇸

[@ercoutdoors1094]

Y’all are wearing my bank account out! Good stuff 🤙🏽

[@rick31869]

That’s the Exact Way to do it brother !!!

[@5MinuteMaj0r]

So only for your first time set up use and when you replace your strings?

[@bowhuntinghuntinggearrevie5494]

Hey MFJJ, can you do a review on the Baker micro adjust ball mount vise? Seems like a Legit american family owned bussiness

[@FireStartersYG]

Love these videos! I recently took my ventum pro 33 into my local shop and asked them to add a few twists to the cable to make the draw length 1/4” shorter. They advise not to do this. What are your thoughts on changing the D loop length vs. twisting the cables?

[@poppasmurf15]

If they won’t twist cables to adjust 1/4” draw length, they either don’t know what they are doing, or are to lazy to do it

[@FireStartersYG]

@@poppasmurf15 Dude yeah, I really like the people at the shop, but yes it would seem you're right.

[@dwalker1873]

I need to do a test on the V3X and the triple stack Fast Eddie XL, if the sight returns to level when you remove and reinstall the sight? I have that set up and fitting it into the Pelican Vault V730 with the sight installed is tight, so I was thinking about removing the sight when it goes into the hard case. Since the sight bar doesn't fit snug in the slot, I am curious if it will return to level.

[@jodymcnab5977]

Love the videos, keep up the great work man.

[@donniestrong7273]

Sweet thanks for the advice

[@richardganz9318]

Will the 2 custom levels be on the website soon to buy , thanks

[@CalPoly2015]

What if your 2nd axis on this sight is level to the string, but the sliding rail is not level to the string or the sight housing bubble? Thanks!

[@perryknetter8577]

Great information video

[@DirtyRedVI]

Do a video on the three bows you’re thinking about shooting.

[@tommurphy6972]

Great info mfjj, i live so far from a shop that tinkering is my new thing. Great to under stand how it all works togeather

[@jeremycavaretta1035]

Love them levels!

[@vancejohnson1778]

Sweet video mfjj, love the videos u do. Nice seeing the details on bow set ups, more a guy learns about the bow better the understanding is of how it works and how to shoot better

[@Steve-ce1mh]

What’s your thoughts on the that 3 pin slider?

[@charlie8796]

Good stuff thanks !

[@TheBowdoc1]

I ordered the arrow level and it didn’t come with the magnet. I sent an email to podium archery email but have not had a reply. Can you help me MFJJ? I also sent pictures in the email.

[@quintenmcdaniel5989]

All of us tall guys have been patiently waiting to see when you plan on doing the Hoyt Highline vs. Matthews Atlas comparison

[@bigwestreviews4933]

I’m a little bit impatient and already bought my atlas but I’m with this guy

[@gordonbutler9602]

Couldn’t agree more!! I also got impatient and bought the Highline.

[@primozkaluza3621]

How do you put arrow square to string in case of blade rest, wich "sinks" down when you put arrow on it?

[@riversarchery]

ordered one a month ago, got it but none of the magnets came with it. emailed and left message no reply :-(

[@jackschwartz495]

How would podium archer build an Rx-7?

[@323guzmandavalos]

The more I watch your videos the more I question the setup on my bow😬

[@rsgard]

Website is looking good

[@leehanks397]

Can you do a video on zingers fletches Josh?

[@BrotherWind]

Not all bows are leveled off the string.

[@narcan2jz]

I will buy. All of my levels are trash

[@macbarb12]

Happy st Patrick’s day!

[@salbattaglia4591]

Complete Mathews bow build, but more importantly the tuning process involving the top hats, timing of the bow, rest, and shooting through paper. I get overwhelmed trying to setup my v3x especially tuning. Multi part video would be cool too!

[@moneyking6659]

I’m a moron. Love what you’re doing.

[@LFC911]

I'm a moron, love what you're doing!

[@EDHBowman]

I’m a moron, love what you’re doing.

[@alexjones519]

They definitely are not inexpensive
