Glad you caught that - I thought that the was the best one liner on the video! -DS

Good people on this channel! I'm learning something new everyday! Thanks fellas🎉

This video had me in tears love the vibes and jokes, makes you feel like your there with you guys and tips and tricks from Josh are top notch keep up the good work fellas

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jonathanbartlett5317]

Dan, Tim, Jake and mmjj. You are a wealth of knowledge from tunning, equipment and hunting tip. You guys made myself better at archery. Now my hunting buddies picked up bows and ask me all the questions. Thank you for doing what you do. ABT!!

[@vancejohnson1778]

Digging the tinkering, sweet seeing all the different builds u guys are rocking

[@timbow50]

Another really good video. Enjoy seeing the BS and the ABT . The only way to figure out what works- good,bad or ugly. 👍👍

[@morgunallison7217]

Met your nephew here locally, great guy turned me onto your Channel. my first year getting into bow hunting, I’m in north Idaho. I Have rifle hunted for many years. It would be awesome to get to know you guys. Great content

[@jeckol3200]

Just bought my first bow, a hoyt torrex xt 60-70lb draw weight. And I bought it because of this channel, thanks for having passion and energy about this sport it really made me want to start shooting, and boy am I hooked.

[@adamschmidlin8294]

Good job guys! I can’t wait for next Monday!

[@coreylyon72]

Just built a dozen arrows with the super sabers and they fly great! Loving them so far 👍🏻

[@ElkShape]

Nice!

[@zacchurch502]

Killer tinkering video, Dan. Jake and his short face😂. I actually changed my anchor slightly with my recent Phase4 build to gain some distance out of my sight tapes, I can relate. Now is the time to be #ABT so I have plenty of time to get it dialed in and rock solid. Tim, keep up that good fight, you'll take them down one day🏹.

[@DB.KOOPER]

I like the Arxos head but Im in love with my HHA RYZ set up on my V3X 33. IMO the HHA sight base is incredible.

[@gregjohnson8290]

So stoked, love you guys thanks again. 🤘

[@ElkShape]

You rock!

[@ericzulick7480]

Always love to see input from Dan probably the only person shorter than

[@kodycarrillo1869]

MFJJ must of watched a KZbin video on how to shotgun 😂 compared to last time when he stabbed the can as he was trying to drink from the top. Love the videos with the whole gang!!!

[@whagler12]

Would love to see a video about different scope housing sizes and why choose one over the other…thinking of buying a $300 sight but want to make sure I’m getting what’s right for my situation. Any guidance you guys have would be great!

[@cozycare1655]

Those Axcel sights are butter. The individual (or gang) micro adjustments are awesome. Thinking of getting the landslyde mount and attach my 5 pin to it. Good tinkering guys! 🤙🏽

[@ElkShape]

Right on

[@caninphx]

@@ElkShape Love mine as well, great little sight, i also worry about durability, but it seems to be a champ. I can't take it off like my spot hogg and use it as a hammer, but it works well and I suspect will last many years to come.

[@Pstratis541]

Awesome video as usual boys!! Glad to see some arxos love.

[@ElkShape]

More to come!

[@south_hunts_605]

This was totally worth the pot of coffee this morning thanks boys🤣

[@colingregory7464]

For a while when I had shoulder issues I was shooting with my anchor set to the gap between my second and third knuckles to give me a longer range, kind of worked, but would need two peeps to switch back and forth

[@Thedudeabides803]

Envying the warmer weather you guys have. We have a foot or more of snow in Vermont. My 7 year says Sunday, “dad let’s go shoot our bows” and I said there’s too much snow and too cold. He yells “wimpy wimpy wimpy” 😂 affirmative son.

[@c.a.m.matherly9958]

It's not warm here at all we got snow again yesterday...

[@robbyarms7rong]

Cool to see you rockin Korbin’s T shirt. I’m gonna go see him about a bow in a couple weeks.

[@douglasely7416]

Love the videos keep up the good work ABT

[@samventura5455]

Another great vid and just the info I'm looking for right now, I'm also looking at the Landslyde with 5 pin what size pins do you run? Do you you guys go to TAC in PA?

[@bencreach7839]

Hahaha! Why do you always come in with your zipper down! Love these videos and the jokes and relationships!

[@ElkShape]

🤣🤣

[@michaelneal8586]

Shot with the Landslyde all last year, issue with it was all the micro adjust exposed to elements. Also difficult sight tape maxed out at little under 100yds V3X 70# 396 arrow weight for TAC. I switched to the new HHA max Ryz 2pin, can shoot multiple arrowset ups and easier to set. So far sight of the year!

[@ElkShape]

Noted we got a review coming

[@dylanhoude1091]

Love the bow vids man keep it up 👍

[@ElkShape]

Thanks! Will do!

[@tristantuthill8580]

Just posted up on dans chat with Joshy about dad… first time poster long time watcher, thought I’d jump on the last vid to let ya know you probs will never see it but Josh wanted to let ya know there’s a bit more on that post on that vid, f***€€€ love your boys sh*€ and totally hooked Josh you changed the relationship I have now with my sick father can’t thank you for that stay safe or if it gets sticky Tim you better have the cam rolling brothaaaaa much love peace!!!

[@toothlessarcher]

Man i hope to meet you guys one day. Might try to hit Big Sky in 2024....

[@elkdeerfish]

I'm a skeptic of the New Dialed Sight. I'm very interested to hear Jake's take on the sight soon. How easy to sight in, adjust, and what not, or if it's hype. Great vid as usual

[@ElkShape]

It’s expensive but very clean.. we need to learn more about durability

[@caninphx]

@@ElkShape it’s not in my experience with it.

[@rickyherbold785]

Yeah, have Tim do a video on the sight. I’m on the fence. I saw one at TAC, it was 3D printed. Are they aluminum now?

[@caninphx]

@@rickyherbold785 yes they are aluminum, issues a lot of us have had are the 3rd axis adjustments is horrible done, a lot of the screws are stripping/breaking, the cerakote is horribly done, the. Brake system stops working on the wheel. I’ve yet to see a good review on this sight, besides KZbinrs who were given them for free bit saying that’s what elk shape will do, hoping they give an honest review. For 600 that sight should have flawless with zero issues. Don’t get me wrong the concept is great, the build was meh. Look forward to the future with the company.

[@Pstratis541]

@@caninphx that sucks, sounds like you’ve had a bad time with yours. I’ve had mine for months and it was simple to level and sight in for me. The 2nd axis is kinda of stupid I agree, but not a deal breaker, for me at least. Like I said I’ve had mine for over 3 months and I shoot it every day, my wheel is good, no stripped or loose screws, I hit my release on the scope housing all the time when knocking an arrow and the cerakote has held up great! I’d say durability has more than met my expectations, and I cerakote for a living. But that’s just my 2 cents for anyone reading this and thinking that’s everyones experience has been bad,Cause it hasn’t been for me at least, I love it.

[@scottcampbell8011]

That punch line against Jake n Tim was money lol

[@SignTracker54]

The white strings are looking good

[@seaneldridge3069]

Love the landslyde. Not a fan of the head…im a huge fan of the ultraview 3 pin(really a 4 pin) attached to my landslide. The top 3 pins are horizontal and the bottom pin is fix right above the bubble level. With a 465 grain arrow going 285 fps my pins work out to 20-30,40,50 and the bottom floater pin is 63. If im one of you id be tinkering with that next. Also this allows you to have a sight with a light if your in a state that allows it…..Another bonus is once i attached the ultraview i was able to get rid of the offset bracket on the landslyde. Allowing me to be able to see my sight tape at full draw. Cheers fellas!!

[@CodySchmidt-nq1zs]

Awesome videos once again fellas 👌🏼 What button up shirt is Dan wearing!?

[@sarjeant503]

The banter makes my Monday on a weekly basis! Im blown away that MFJJ said “head” as many times as he did and no one commented #littleDisappointed, lol. And poor Jake is always getting the worst of it. Hang in there bud, your day will come! Haha Thanks for another great video fellas!

[@JamesBond-oc4gm]

Awesome giveaway!!!

[@XXXston3wallXXX]

Thank you

[@geraldrivera8706]

Used super saber vanes last elk season and knock down a nice 5x5 those vanes are legit

[@chetmanley2883]

I started building my own sight tapes with archers advantage and it’s 💰

[@patrickscheel3943]

Boys!! Try tinkering with aerovane 2!!! Completely silent arrow flight.

[@bloodlinesarchery]

Spicy Dan today 😂😂 Yeah the dloop thing happens. First shot of tac… RIIP

[@brianpulscher6514]

Yeah that 2nd axis adj on the Landslyde is a PITA, I just reset mine this weekend with my new scope. 3rd axis is easy anyway. Love the sight overall though. Took my dealer over a year to get them in.

[@ElkShape]

Right on

[@caninphx]

Same here, took me over a year, just happened to check lancaster one day and they had them in stock, bought it and 30 mins later it was sold out.

[@newzealandspotlightersasso9181]

You lads see the new canyon pounder by Option. Got my hands on it last weekend. I'm pretty impressed to be fair shot it a bit. Gonna take a while to save up for one but I'll most likely run that next season

[@ElkShape]

We have seen it

[@bmook019]

Setting third axis like that is definitely a good starting point. The most accurate way to set it for the shooter is to shoot it in. The most perfect archer has some natural torque.

[@caninphx]

Yup get the press adaptor from LCA to make the press pivot. at the ctr point, been doing this for years, ITs almost always dead on for me. usually a slight tweak when I set it at full draw, but thats it.

[@marcusmize9636]

I’m a poor unsuspecting bastard.. lol

[@sticks7971]

Love watching you guys. Unrelated question i was just thinking of. Arrows. Why so many different ones out there. Many in same price point or close….. why wouldn’t everyone shoot the same arrow if its the best arrow for the bow?

[@steventopper4625]

Tell Jake last year I bought a hundred pack of those Super Sabre Vanes and I just couldn’t get them to fly as well as my AAE max stealths on my V3X29 with the Qad. I was sold on the technology behind the Sabers but couldn’t get as tight groups as my AAE. The banter was funny on this video 😂

[@caninphx]

I just bought a bunch as well to fletch up, doing my own test on vanes. Max stealth Max Hunter, Fiew nock av2 and Av3, blazer, Q2I raptor, Q2i Fusion 2, DCA Super Sabre, TAC and I am drawing a blank on the other couple I have. Anyways, so far I have seen zero difference in groupings with any of them, this includes, straight, slight offset, minimal helical and the crazy helical from the mini max with any of my test shooting. Once i get all the vanes, I will load up my app on my phone (Archery success, turn on arrow tracking and number the arrows) and try to do a 2wk test and track arrows on targets, to actually see how they track overall and try not to be biased/anecdotal. I suspect my findings will mimic what i have seen so far, but I will put them to the test.

[@xfighter1117]

What color strings white or grey??? Looks awesome black with white serving possibly?

[@ThePjpulvermacher]

have you done a video talking about what 2/3rd axia is, or why its important?

[@LoveMountainAdventures]

Congrats to the winner and keep the videos coming.

[@ElkShape]

Thanks G

[@OneMoreBrewSKI]

Question for anyone to answer. I’ve been building my bow and for the rest went with a Hamskey Trinity. Should I use the felt on the rest of leave it off. Iv been told on both sides it helps or it hurts the arrow flight

[@CSteve89]

Hey guys quick question I tried to buy a set of your side plates do you not ship to Canada?

[@alecparsons4825]

How does the outer edge and the core of those 365 targets y’all shoot hold up being outside all the time?

[@BowMadOutdoors]

Sweet!!!

[@rippinlip23]

I ran the super Sabre and didn't see much difference. The blazers shot better.. Also Sabre doesn't hold up if you pass through a foam target. Blazers held up great.

[@deanbrantley]

Are those stacks of shingles for targets?

[@Bowhunterlake]

I just put a new sight tape on yesterday

[@4america695]

Are you guys going to Stevens pass for the Mt challenge.

[@chriscalkins3132]

Have y’all tried any HHA sights? Just picked up a tetra max ryz and love it

[@ElkShape]

We’re fixing to!

[@adambrady3127]

What are those outdoor targets made out of at Spokane???

[@bennyo6567]

I thought you were going to put the new option canyon pounder on your 33 set up

[@rdarnell15]

check those Sabres for contact on the roller guard with a little lipstick on the edges of the vane. I had problems with mine hitting causing tail left tears and ultimately had to turn "cock" vane out left opposed to straight up.

[@caninphx]

I'm worried about this too on my APA Black Mamba 33. CTR shot is different than most bows(13/16), the APA sits right around 11/16 to 12/16, blazers are close to contacting the cables. I think they should work though as blazers at 0.57 tall and sabres are 0.55. will know soon, just need to find the right glue now.

[@tomfoster3619]

Paper tune bare shaft you will get alot better results after you put your vanes on because i garentee if you strip those vanes you will still have a decent rip get a bullet hole bare shaft and your results will be so much better

[@amorusmusic]

“That’s a pro tip. That’s why you watch the video.” -DS

[@chrisbozman9980]

Is that a 10 or 12" on the front of that bow?

[@chrisrogers6263]

Holy shit Dan lmao dude is wilding out on this video lmao

[@mandytompkins5815]

I see Jake wears glasses. Can you do a video about how it effects your shooting. I wear glasses too (astigmatism and long sighted) and I'm trying to work out how to clear up my target.

[@Mitch2974]

I have a question for anyone , especially the Elk Shape crew. I have been shooting @ 80# for about ten years and is usually not even noticeable. When I have not been shooting for a while it can feel heavy but never hard. I got sick 2 weeks ago, when I was better about a week later I got the bow out to shoot and had a lot of difficulty pulling it back( like almost couldn't) but after a few shots I was back to pulling as if I had not shot in a while for 4 rounds of 4. So, I chocked it up to still being week from being sick. So, its a weak later and I feel pretty good but I couldn't pull the bow back at all at 80., so I cranked it back three turns and was able to seriously struggle back 4 shots. Shoulders feel fine, just maybe a little sick yet, but generally feeling better than last week. Any thoughts.? Am I worried for nothing, bow looks in spec and I'm not a novice.

[@shawnclift6952]

I have been trying to get an Arizona left helical ez fletch for months is there anywhere I can get one any help would be greatly appreciated

Pro tip: put your peep in place first with a dummy d loop and get it set. Do your string twists before tying in your nock sets and permanent loop. That way your burn down knots on your nock sets stay on the rear of the string and not twist around that could cause nock pinch.

[@ElkShape]
