Simply Traditional ep.4 "Changing things up"

In episode 3 I was tuning a set of carbon arrows to the Big Stick Gremlin. Well, needless to say, wood arrows have taken over my longbows. So, in this segment, I'm giving instruction on how to straighten wood arrows and shooting a few groups with them! Come along as we tune woodies for the Gremlin!

Over 30 years ago I would make.all my own arrows. Cresting, dipping, the whole 9 yards. But life happens and shooting took a back seat in the car. But ever since I retired I have Ben thinking about getting back into archery and watching this particular video has me on the fence with carbon and wood so I wanted to thank you for the sleepless night lol.

Anything I can do to help!

Tell me where to go shopping would be helpful all my stuff was lost long time ago and 3 rivers is good but not a one stop shop

[@pitbullman4111]

3 rivers is a good place to get most your stuff but search small shops to find those items that are specific to what you're looking for

At first glance I thought Your bow was a Big Jims . Thats a sweet bow .

[@gunshyarchery]

Have some woods on order from St.Lawrence Strings.... So now you're saying I need to get a straightener 😂

[@jamescooper2618]

I'm sure the carbon guys are laughing at this but people don't understand that we shoot wood arrows because we WANT to shoot wood arrows. They are more quiet and often just fly better out of longbows and recurves. Straightening arrows is like cleaning your guns after a day in the field, it's just something you do, but many wood arrows never need to be straightened.

I need some 33.5" 60 lb spine woody's

Have you ever had a longer bare shaft fly stiff and a shorter one fly straight? I’ve got one at 29.5” that’s slightly stiff but the 29” one flys perfectly straight.

[@pitbullman4111]

Could be bounced on the longer shaft that may actually be weak. By shorting it it may have more clearance. Just a thought though

[@jacobchapman8515]

Hey man, I really enjoy shooting trad bows but my beard always gets in the way-any recommendations?

[@pitbullman4111]

You're going tonloose some hairs lol. Nature of the beast

[@bqoutdoors2334]

I figured out why your shooting to the right!! Your shooting a 56 inch bow and calling it a longbow 😂 jk good vid.

You are right about the grain runout. I have a matched dz of the 3 Rivers arrows. The runout is just as bad as what you showed us on 6 out of a dz.
