REAL ARCHERY & ARROW TALK With TBone & Waddell

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

T Bone is such an inspiration. His love for archery is genuine and he has that laid back personality! I could listen to him all day.

[@gcnphilly]

Every bow hunter should watch this video and recognize that T-Bone is the man! Such great knowledge and passion for archery and bow hunting. I'm sure I'll watch this a couple of times because there's so much great content included. Thanks guys!!

[@CormierTC]

I appreciate that they actually broke down the benefits of heavy and light arrows. There’s so much division in the hunting community about this right now. I look at arrows like hand loads with rifles. What am I trying to accomplish and what am I hunting, then build an arrow to suit that goal.

[@mikeguy9668]

Exactly. No other way to do it

[@andrecancilla4901]

This should alway be the goal In archery. Whether you are hunting or shooting different disciplines of target archery. Your arrow should be tailored around the biggest problem you face in said discipline. People want to just choose a side and then bicker and argue.

[@wnapierjr7572]

Man we are so glad to see T-Bone back in action. We are still praying for you.

[@wk9953]

Amazing podcast! Glad to see t-bone at it. I really appreciate how T-bone is supportive of all the ways and has put in so much thought into what and how he does it.

[@jimparker6843]

Michael,we met at Harrys in Bordentown around 2005 or 06, I was there with friends and you and I were talking hunting laughing and joking around and my friends were talking me up and mention that my shotgun had a name “Big Bone” and you asked why I name it that and I suggested that if you ever got your your own show that you ought to name it Bone Collector,and you did and much more, I have been following your success over the years and like to thing you remembered the fun conversation we had that evening and how proud I am of all your success, keep on keeping on brother!

[@JimmyBeanz13]

I'm glad T-bone is doing ok. Prayers were sent for him by many!

[@CCRider5312]

Amen 🙏 brother

[@BoneCollectorTube]

Much appreciated! 💪🏼💪🏼

[@markkahler1130]

I love how T-Bone still enjoys building and working on bows 30 years later! I love working on bows and wonder if I'll enjoy doing it 20 years from now. Thanks for being positive and transparent T-Bone!

[@jefflinnell8492]

Thank you guys , great to see t-bone back at it. We pray for you t-bone and all your brothers

[@roymyers8575]

My best to you T-BONE!! You’re loved and appreciated!!!!

[@gt3idson]

can listen to T Bone talk about bows all day

[@jrberke77]

Y'all are a blessing ! I look forward to seeing videos. My family and church are praying for you T-Bone

[@CCRider5312]

T-Bone is a Awesome guy I’ve met him, as well as Michael And Nick on the USA 🇺🇸 Tour y’all done back 9-10 years ago.

[@grumpyolddan7803]

Thanks T-Bone I'm old school. Still shooting 2117 aluminum. 29" out of my recurve

[@kendallinman606]

Two outstanding human beings right there. Never met either but love them both. God bless the both of you and your families.❤️🦃🦌

[@juanrodriguez-mu7ko]

Hey T-Bone it’s great to see you doing better. May God bless you and keep blessing you we need you. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@nathancourtney2006]

Really like the way you back up your position, well informed and humble. Thanks

[@StevenRAssmann-tb7ty]

It’s good to see you guys again (even if it’s not in person on KZbin). TBone -I wish you the best and I hope to see you again soon. I missed seeing you in Nashville at the NWTF convention. I hope you get the leg you need and that you work out the situation with Nick. Don’t hesitate to call, I am here for you all. Michael again this was a great video . Don’t be a stranger . Swing by Franklin the next time you are in Ky. - Your Ky Friend.

[@Thedudeabides803]

I shot a Pro Hunter 400 for years, way too weak spine for my Halon 32. The kinetic Pierce Platinum 300 I shoot now has me shooting groups I never thought I could achieve. My local bow guy was steering me wrong for years. Once I took tuning my bow and arrows into my own hands I cannot believe the difference from my old setups. Videos like this are so helpful to the community.

[@davidbilliter5619]

Man, T Bone, I have nothing but mad respect for you . I don't know if you remember me , but we somewhat competed as archery techs . Our shops were about 80 miles apart, and you know w archery shops, that's in the same neighborhood , lol. I came over to your 3D range a couple times and competed back 20+ years ago. Shot pretty good at the first one and wound up winning it. I called you and asked about results because we headed on back to the house before it was over . You informed me that i had won and we said we would figure out how I'd get my winnings at some point. Wasn't much money , but a few dollars. Turned out it was over a year before I made it back over to your shoot ( we had 5 active clubs, so I shot closer to home usually ). I showed up and just said my name. You reached under the counter and handed me an envelope . It meant the world to me that you remembered . Your just a class act, brother , and I hope by now they have that peg figured out ! God Bless

[@seanbarrett4127]

I bought my Hoyt torrex (31 inch) last fall as my very first bow and i love it. Definitely expect to buy a flagship later on in another year or two. Went to a target archery shop recently and wanted to get a proper target bow set up. They only carry PSE and I am a left handed, so they got to put in a work order. They are ordering me a PSE Lazer (37 inch) I don't have any brand loyalty, i just love the bow that shoots good, but I would be lying if my expectations were not super high because of how my Torrex shoots. Amazing podcast and T-Bone has a great archery mind. I need to listen to him more often because what he is talking about with ego...i see it a lot in the short time i have been shooting. Overloading on poundage or "its my bow, its not me" . (someone not shooting good and they are convinced the bow is faulty). Thankfully for folks like T-bone, George Ryals and Joel Turner and so many others sharing their wealth of knowledge, it's helped keep me so much as I learn this amazing sport.

[@GunnyArtG]

I appreciate your balanced perspective. I'm in the heavier is better camp but then again I only hunt out to a max of 30 yards on Texas sized deer who get a vote and might not be where they were when the arrow left the bow and I like the margin to penetrate and split bone.

[@Quiksilversurf311]

I’m not even able to hunt and I still enjoy you two chit chatting all about it. It sure makes me wish I was able to be set up to get out their and give a few a dirt nap.

[@thadhenley6559]

Brother you have always been one of my favorite people in the hunting industry so I hope nothing but the best for you #stillprayingforbone

[@Outdoorswithtmoney]

Sitting in the listening to this for like the 8th time and still learning evert time I do. Love you guys

[@darrenlowry7477]

I've listened to this 3 times. I'm glad these 2 are friends and found a way to share it with us.

[@michaelnorris9937]

T-Bone glad to see ya back in the arena

[@charlierayt]

Dang ole son. Tell us how we can help. You have given so much over the years. Me and my brother Jeff met you at Flatwoods WV at the WVBHA event. Jeff was selling his handmade turkey calls. I asked you about the Can Cooker. Lol. It was like we had known you forever. You’re courage has helped a lot of folks whether you know it or not. I betcha folks would be happy to give a little back. 🦌🙏

[@shakydcustomlures5075]

T Bone I love your tech videos inspired me to get all the equipment from last chance Archery an start building an tuning my own bows. Thank you for all y’all do for the sport!

[@tonyhensley7777]

I remember shooting those 2314 through a Jennings Carbon Extreme at 74 pounds from 1993 to the early 2000s. Man archery equipment has improved a 1000%!

[@beaubellamy2999]

This is great. I’m a new bow hunter and I’m going through my own cancer deal. I appreciate the information and I really enjoyed the conversation

[@toolman9081]

Wish this podcast was on Spotify. Keep up the great content guys. Love you all.

[@vincentmckinney5964]

Best podcast I’ve ever seen

[@allenscott9326]

Agree with everything y'all enjoy listen to the video and I'm glad see you up and around T-Bone

[@wrobo6122]

Guy’s this is the best Podcasts i have Heard in a long time. Y’all Keep up the good work and keep those podcasts coming.

[@rickeymartin8517]

I enjoy listen to y'all I learn something each time thanks y'all and God bless you and your family.

[@markb.1259]

I HATE long videos..... but I'd pay BIG MONEY (at least a buck $3.75) to listen to THESE PASSIONATE PROFESSIONALS!!! Michael... T-Bone... WOW... You two are AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@lonnypenner6729]

Love to see tbone keeping move forward

[@waynestevenson9613]

Two wellsprings of archery and hunting knowledge! Thanks for this! I remember back in the day T-Bone was the man to beat in competitive archery!

[@wesfletch7826]

I could watch y'all's podcast all day everyday y'all are awesome very knowledgeable but down to earth and so inspiring y'all do a awesome job God bless to you all and thank you for everything y'all do

[@lukuswagner9652]

I didnt get to finish the podcast but I hope realtree got him a new bone collector, monster bucks, so on and so on leg. They always seem to be good ol boys but I cant believe this discussion ever had taken place. If hes one of their best friends and setting up the equipment that makes their millions, this video should have started out, I'd like to thank the whole real tree team for helming me and my family.

[@BroadheadsAndBobbers]

T-Bone you are amazing and so full of knowledge!!

[@chucklewis5396]

T-Bone giving real talk about arrows!! Great job guys and keep it up!

[@jefferyjones2684]

Come on bcbs a give T Bone his leg already let man get back to walking . So glad T Bone is looking /doing good praying daily for him now add leg to prayer also. and put your mojo on another bow that's great

[@matthewmcnulty698]

Amen

[@timbarton6611]

Glad u are feeling better T-bone God bless u love u brother

[@kenstuber7409]

I love this podcast and the subject. I met all three of you years ago at the Coshocton Ohio Woodbury in the middle of a tornado with the electric off. Another man and his son and I sat around a circle with the three of you and T-bone had a campfire on his phone. Awesome time!

[@zachbrazeau3886]

I've probably watched this at least 4 or 5 times and still come out learning more each time

[@harryhitchings1968]

Man, this was an awesome, and informative podcast. T Bone knows his stuff! I got so much out of it. Like I was just sitting in on the side of a couple of good friends havin a visit. Thank you!

[@gunmedic3517]

Always a ton of knowledge and education. I wish you all the best T-Bone, you guys are awsome.

[@andymullen1752]

I recently became a bilateral above knee amputee I'm just getting back into shooting archery now that my kids are doing the nasp archery in school. I still have a lot of fun shooting. I also have Blue Cross and Blue Shield so far they've been pretty good but now I am waiting for my sockets from Martins.

[@AndrewLakey]

Great conversation. I can absolutely relate to the comment regarding a moose at 20 yards and all your pins on the vitals. Years ago I was fortunate enough to take two Bison, the first shot at 25 yards I settled the pin on the vitals and laughed to myself " I can't miss" ....All my pins were on the vitals.

[@johnmasson3979]

Excellent... Fun and Informational!

[@aureliobatoon4857]

Great podcast! You guys a for REAL!

[@Gibsonlife573]

If you just watch ranch ferry I hate to bring this up the only reason why I do is because they show with that lab radar how much energy and speed that a light arrow loses versus a heavy arrow like it was like 3040' a second at 60 yd versus like 12' a second when they have a year old

[@austinschone2525]

I’m cheering for ya t-bone

[@THELAFFCHANNEL]

I'm new to archery and learned a lot from this video some I may not need quite yet but this will for sure be a video I go back and watch as I progress Im also watching and learning your turkey call videos too and learning from those as well thanks man

[@chickimac1]

T bone is awesome. Should be an inspiration to anyone who loves archery or just hunting in general

[@2ndAveScents]

Boys we need more of these podcasts from you fellas

[@DirtNapCity93]

I agree with t bone on the rear deploying mechanicals. At the end of the day no matter what you shoot make sure your arrow is stable and your blades are sharp.

[@CodyStarling]

Such a room full Of knowledge. Just recently purchased a quest G5 compound bow to try to get into the bow hunting. I tried years ago with a PSE just never got the opportunity to make a shot, but what I was wondering, in y’all’s opinion y’all have been on both sides of the fence would you save up your money if you were back in your 20’s working a construction job and having to provide for a family, would you save up and buy the top Of the line or would you go with a mid range Hoyt is in my eyesight in years to come but what would you do? Maybe this is video material. I know waddy did a video about when he was starting I feel like everyone watching these videos feels like they gotta have the newest of the newest every year just like the guys on the shows. But I want to be able to hunt when I can, shoot a nice realizable bow thag I can keep 8-10 years or untill finances get better.

[@6saturdaysaweekoutdoors]

Good to see tbone positive and doing what he loves!! Good luck this year!

[@lukevermote1751]

Awsome could listen for ever. Please many more to come

[@danielely7437]

He’s still an inspiration today!! Luv ya t bone

[@clarenceburgess2934]

I appreciate y’all Ol boys so much I been hunting my whole life I am one of those guys that work six and seven days a week but feel thankful every time I go hunting I’m from union sc and I believe so much out of everything y’all said that the Confidence you have in your equipment is as important than anything because I know from my fifty years if you put it where it counts and practice enough to do that most any equipment they put out today will do the job y’all boys keep up the good work thanks

[@JarrettPippin-ew7gl]

Experience and knowledge. I would love to have a dozen that T-Bone made!

[@robertopuig7862]

Great to see you back, with a awesome attitude I have enjoyed your videos and tutorials on setting equipment. On the positive side you won’t need snake proof boots.

[@aarenbolle3388]

I'm so thankful for you guys and the job that you do in educating the hunting community. I wish more "educators" would emulate you and teach us not what to do or think but rather how to think and decide for our selves. God bless gentlemen and keep it up!!!

[@chrisgiller2050]

T bone the man. We love this man. Get hem he's leg 🦵. Hunting machine.

[@Straightahead101]

Give him his Leg

[@pertaani1]

Simply wonderful to follow you. So much important stuff. I miss a similar discussion here in Finland as well.

[@duanerowe3222]

You have been truly a blessing to me

[@mikemcgill3998]

That was a pretty good podcast. Touched on some things without touching on some things. There's a few things that I've noticed about many podcasts that I've watched and tv/youtube shows I've watched. First thing I'll bring up is when Michael said that even though a blade may break off... there's 2 more going in. In MY opinion that is not a very good thought to have. As archers, we should want our broadhead(whichever) to STAY TOGETHER! That is what kills the animal. They deserve that from us. Broadheads have become so CHEAP that most of them(even though 60%of the time they work 100%of the time), we shouldn't be using. Like T-Bone says, take what Dr. Ashby has discovered about penetration and use it in your setup, the best you can. There is so many broadheads that are NOT sharp out of the package. We are trying to make an animal bleed to death. Our broadheads should be a SHARP as possible! Then a lot of broadheads, you can get sharp...... but they don't stay that way when they are violently thrust through an animal. Look at your blades after you shoot an animal. They we be bent, dinged or broke. Then there's been this HUGE push to use these HUGE cut expandables. They work great and they also fail. The manufacturer will put on their website... this broadhead takes this amount of force to open. Most guys don't even know how much force their bow generates. Then they use a HUGE head and get barely any penetration. As an example(not directly at y'all) watch the TV "professionals". Over the past how many years, a lot of people have noticed that their arrows barely get into the deer and they yell, "Smoked'em"! They didn't even get an exit hole. How is that "smoking them"? A lot of guys should try get a close to perfect arrow flight as possible but they can't get that all done at home. They need to go to a Pro Shop. I've been in many shops over the last 30yrs and there is one thing that they all have. If you aren't their buddy.... their pushing you through the store. Your bow is close enough, go hunt. Yet! Their buddies bows are driving tacks. Why isn't that everyone's now that goes through their shop, drives tacks? I used to follow and watch so many outdoor TV shows because when I grew up, they were teaching you something. Then it became this who's who and if you don't shoot what I do..... you're less then a hunter then me. I've stepped away from the TV industry and all my magazine subscriptions. Watch a lot of different youtube channels. You can find what you like and it's from someone who is trying to help. Not from someone that is PUSHING product. I used the marketing and making a living doing it but like me. I know a lot of guys that can't stand what the outdoor industry has become. Most people don't own a 900 acre farm that they can manage. We get very few weekends in the woods. I'll stop this ramble with this...... EVERYONE SHOULD WORK TO BRING ALL HUNTERS TOGETHER!!!! GOD BLESS AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!

[@brandonburker7330]

T-Bone the man!!!!!!

[@royreter6799]

Rock on T Bone!! You are an inspiration! Enjoying what all Bone Collector does, please keep it up guys!

[@tysobol]

Blue Cross should be ashamed of themselves! I’m definitely reaching out to them to let ‘em know it. Great to have you back in front of the camera T Bone

[@wcwcgarner2717]

Tbone your the man. BCBS give Tbone the strong leg. So the man can walk again

[@TheArrowsEdge]

Your arrow weight goals are nearly the same as mine. That makes me feel like I'm doing something right 👌👌

[@justinadams159]

I shoot 350 grain Maxima reds. 31 inchers with Blazer vanes and a 50 grain foc insert for the front with a 200 grain grim reaper broadhead and Ive had plenty of good blood trails and lots of dead deer

[@timothyhowell7047]

Hahaha you two together are definitely a couple of characters 😂😂😂😂. Life is life and we all deal with different things. But this was the most random funniest thing I've sat down and listen to in a while. My dad has a good bit of cancer and I've completely refocused my mind and haven't done a single thing to prepare for bow season this year in Talbot county GA. But certainly had me laughing and learning at the same time when y'all were talking about the bow setup. Many prayers T-bone and keep being you brother and keep us laughing and learning from your bow knowledge.

[@tuckergehlert4468]

I have gone back and forth on fixed vs mechanical for so long and this really drove home the advantage of mechanical. I shot a buck that I hit slightly back this last fall. I deatroyed the liver, but was able to catch just enough of the far side lung that the buck ran less than 150 yards and died quickly. Im not sure i would have had that with a fixed blade.

[@FedFire8404]

I'm sitting on Roi Namur in the Marshall Islands wishing I was back home with the family and getting that Spyder 30 drawn back on some targets for the start of season in Oct. Good luck to you all this year and may your arrows fly straight and true.

[@diehardoutdoors]

I could listen to these two talk about hunting all day be cool if they came out with podcast the night before October 1st we can watch before opening day archery get pumped up here in Hoosier state

[@duffy1298]

Been watching these guys since I was a kid. Still love the content.

[@hunterj_10]

Glad T-bone is still getting after it!

[@HTS_EDC]

Man!! What a stellar set of 110s!! I really want one of those 5160 carbon steel models....great line my friend, very impressive!! 👏👍💯🇺🇸🔪🔥

[@THELAFFCHANNEL]

Another good point I'm just starting out and trying to buy new stuff for my bow instead of focusing on me and my form and taking accountability for the real problem I'm new and need to get form down before I can make any adjustments to my equipment

[@stevenwalker9013]

Could not agree more! Love ranch fairy, but he sets up for 17 yard and under shots. For most of us in a tree we want to shoot to 40. That 500 grain and/or high teens in foc is perfect for whitetail. Now the broad head confo I have a differing opinion. Cause I hunt all year for maybe one opportunity. It may be a quartering to shot at 25 yards. I can’t take that with the expandable. I am and will take it with fixed/single beveled head. That said I don’t hate on anyone for shooting what they want. Do you! My issue with the expandable is on rib cage shots not getting pass thrus at 25 yards with 29 inch draw and shooting 70lb.

[@kennylainhart7148]

You guys are great 👍😎 people,God bless your family's!! I always said I'll take accuracy over speed any day!! My buddy's disagree because of misjudged yardage, and I always go back to knowing you're equipment and how it performs at different yardage,!!! Practice practice practice!!!!

[@dustinmize994]

Love that meet in the middle info! I gave a set of 680gr arrows and now have got back to around 500gr. TBone you are the man!

I'm a firm believer in this group of guys. Keep it real fellas

[@singingwolf3929]

We need more podcast! Love you guys.

[@cooltrkin]

Hey guys I don't know if you'll ever read this but the reason you shoot 4 vain other than 3 is. Knocking the arrows either way makes it easier in the bush. and 4 3in. Vains weight about the same as 3 4in. Vains.

[@dwayneacree5339]

Thanks guys!

[@kimberlypenrod2764]

Love this! I really lean on your advice regarding all things archery. Can we do a deep dive into an arrow and bow build for women and low pound draw??? I've been shooting/hunting archery for 20+ yrs yet I really struggle to find relative info for 2024. Please help!
