The COMPLETE Guide to BUILDING Your Own Arrows

[@jm4nier20]

The "three dabs of glue" is KEY. Great advice. Thank you. I was totally over gluing.

[@baan3197]

watched several arrow build videos, this is the one that gets the most nods. nicely done instructions and good information.

[@GA_GIXX8R]

I followed this to the T. I am very happy to say I have 2 dozen arrows Tuned, Fletched, Nocked and ready thanks to you. What a GREAT Process. I ended up using a mini chop saw, because I didn't have a lot of the gear you do. Also bought a cheap arrow spinner on Amazon, then placed a book in front of it and placed sandpaper in between. Who knew that a Hornady reloading manual was useful in archery.

[@adamcarter7095]

Great video! I liked the tip on using a gun brush to scuff up the inside of the shaft before installing the insert. I will be trying that on my next set of arrows. Thanks!

[@Kozeal24]

Can't believe this only has 10k views. Your videos are well made and entertaining. Great work! Keep up the great work!

[@sunnyruth8575]

Thank you for sharing

[@donovanstockton44]

This is your best video yet!

[@ryanmonaghan4816]

Awesome video man, just came across your channel today, it is great! Thanks for all you do.

[@hunterrud5892]

Wow! So helpful Mr.Bowman

[@HuntUrban]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Joshua-h7d]

Where do you get your supplies

[@gabrielhouston5660]

Heck yeah!!

[@rwhiting1984]

What glue do u use for or vans??

[@HawkSlings]

Do you not spine index or nock tune before fletching?

[@theklutzyoutdoorsman5265]

Awesome video! Still wondering how you get a Black Eagle Carnivore to 550gr?

[@ElOhGeeAyEn42]

The Klutzy Outdoorsman he shoots a 250 spine

[@bigjohnson4427]

Most gpi u can order, cut arrow a little long, add brass insert with 125gr head

[@HuntUrban]

Hey bud - I’m running a 30” arrow, 250 spine: 291 (30” @ 9.7 gpi) Insert: 14 gr Brass screw ins to insert: 80 Field point: 125 Fletching: 7.7/ea, 3 fletched (23.1) Wrap: 5.5 Nock: 8 Total: 546.60

@@HuntUrban Thanks :)

[@LUMBRZACH]

How much length do the centric outserts add to the front end of the shafts...? Sorry for the dumb question, cant find this info on the Day 6 Website.

[@robertoclaytone]

You don't bare shaft tune/nock tune, but you kinda insert tune?

[@georgemaerkle3427]

What’s the advantages of using an outsert?

[@hamiltonharvey7196]

When placing the vanes in the jig, I believe the factory sets the helical at 1 degree, however I was told for a truer spin you should have it at 3 degrees. What are your thoughts? PS - I loved the video!!

[@HuntUrban]

I've actually ended up going in the middle - 2* right helical. Works great for me!

[@ElOhGeeAyEn42]

Do you take your nocks off when you put your outserts on?

[@bigjohnson4427]

Logan Hallman yes you should as it creates a airlock within arrow shaft

[@HuntUrban]

Yes - the nocks are not installed until after the inserts are on.

[@chuckwhite8365]

Great step by step video. Do you index the fletchings and nick? If so, what is your process for doing so? Also, do you glue in the nock and if so, do you use fletching glue or the insert epoxy?

[@bigjohnson4427]

Chuck White never glue in a nock, odd vane up always so twist nock to achieve, when fletching always put a vane over the crease of arrow wrap so that it doesn’t come peeling up

[@TDIETZ22]

Yeah definitely do not glue the nock

[@LaraAmelia7]

You ever bought/ tried making carbon arrows from wholesale carbon tubing?

[@Anythingforfreedom]

Is this cheaper? Or just more accurate?

[@edwardpockett4862]

Your a mathews guy! I have a vertix nock low with bere shafts and can't get rid of it , nock a bit above centre and still the same🤔 any ideas would be very useful? only thing that will solve it is if I put a 1/2 turn on the top limb bolt shoots perfect then but is this OK to run it like that? Great videos buddy 👍👍👍

[@HuntUrban]

How are the cams hitting? Are you sure the bolts are the same? Maybe try maxing them both out, tuning it, then back both bolts out as needed

[@edwardpockett4862]

@@HuntUrban sorry for late reply, both cams are hitting the same ! And I shoot pretty high grip to, only way I can solve it to take a 1/4 turn out of the upper limb or have the cams out of sink,

[@MegaJ2e]

what about if your shooting a trad bow's ?

[@bigjohnson4427]

Watch John dudleys arrow building. You need more then 3 dots of glue. Also with those max stealth vanes they high recommend using the aae prep pen and glue. There is a coating on the vane that if not done correctly will not stick. Also you should clean your arrow wrap after your fingers have touched it or a mouse pad has touched it. Keep it at clean as possible

[@HuntUrban]

Yes, there is a coating on the AAE vane that requires a prep pen - however- any prep pen will work. I’ve used the AAE as well as others, and have had all work well. As for the glue, I highly suggest trying three dabs of glue and spreading them out on the arrow. What do you have to lose??!! I’ve built plenty of arrows and haven’t had an issue, but if you’re doing it differently and it’s working well for you, then keep it up! 👊🏻

[@weaverbeaver8203]

I think your arrow build is great. Yes you will take some heat from some of these people. But I have watched a lot of your videos an you know your stuff. Yes I can't believe 3 dots of glue. But like you said. Uses the tip of your glue bottle to spread the 3 dots out. I shoot AAE Stelth vanes Love them. Keep up the videos.

[@bigjohnson4427]

weaver Wilhelmi using the tip of glue bottle will cause it to clog up, will prevent from putting an appropriate amount on vane, instead use a pin and poke hole in tip of glue bottle and apply

[@weaverbeaver8203]

@@bigjohnson4427 as for at the tip clogging. it also depends if you wipe the tip clean after you do that. I've seen a guy at a archery shop do the 3 dots and uses a business card to spread the glue out. I'm not saying your right or wrong. I've seen a lot of ppl fletch arrows different ways.

[@HuntUrban]

Thanks! It also depends on what glue you’re using. My glue bottle has a needle in it to prevent the bottle from clogging. And yes, I agree, there are many different ways to fletch the arrows, and all are correct

[@Erikfl348]

Do you build arrows and if you do I would like to buy some please let me know I’m very interested to have some of these areas that you build

[@HuntUrban]

Sorry, I don’t build them for a charge - but you can just follow this video and have a perfect set!!

[@tonyallen8626]

What is the main reason for using wraps.

[@tonyallen8626]

@Boxing 101 I've tried quite a few different glue's and I can't get my fletchings to stick to raps anywhere near as well as I can to a bear shaft and that's the reason I don't use them

[@HuntUrban]

@boxing 101 - spot on!

[@HuntUrban]

Make sure to clean the wrap after you’ve applied it with alcohol, and prep your vane with a primer pen

[@tonyallen8626]

@@HuntUrban I don't have any trouble getting my Fletcher's to stick to the rap, if a Fletch comes off it pulls some rap with it and as far as seeing blood a little white spray paint on the shaft.

Is it cheaper to build your own?

[@huntermazzio713]

What arrow wraps are you using in the video? Do you care about overlapping the wraps?

[@greggibby221]

I can’t get my bow tuned help

[@HuntUrban]

What’s going on with it? Send me a DM on Instagram @urbanbowman and we’ll get it figured out.

[@79brumley]

You really should spin them first and cut them from both ends if needed to get the straightest section of arrow possible. Everything else is spot on except you went to far trying to sell the day 6 arrows.

[@donovanstockton44]

I ain't no expert but Day 6 owner Brian is very in tuned with what works for killing deer. They sell very high quality stuff and it's well thought out for slaying whitetail deer which are hard to kill given their extreme reaction speeds to archery equipment.

[@79brumley]

@@donovanstockton44 Your reply literally has nothing to do with my post, All pro level archers spin and cut their arrows to achieve the straightest shaft possible, The same should be applied to hunting shafts. The straighter the shaft the more accuracy potential the arrow has in flight and easier to tune. For hunting arrows I want the most precision shafts I can make. Trust me day 6 arrows are not any better than Gold tips, Easton or Victory of the same grade of shafts.

[@donovanstockton44]

WarHammer - I’m not following your logic but not a big deal. You just proved my point actually. If they’re no less in quality why the criticize Hunt Urban for promoting a brand that seems well designed for white tails? Day 6 is primarily focused hunting with wiry deer in mind. There was a lot of product placement in the video but who cares. If you have a problem with capitalism go all out and vote for Bernie or Warren.

[@bigjohnson4427]

Donovan Stockton lol, my Easton arrows have been blowing thru shoulders for 25 years. Now using the Easton axis match grade and they out preform anything out there. 200$ for a dozen arrows is crazy. Learn how to shoot!!

[@bigjohnson4427]

Donovan Stockton promotes it due to getting free arrows I’m sure!

[@BlackSheepDawnTraining]

My advice is make a few dozen arrows pick out a few and keep them shooting for as long as you can before just throwing them out and grabbing some you won't break as many and youll learn to respect your equipment

[@greggibby221]

Bro I need to bring u my bow

[@RBush-id8zm]

Welp, made it 3 minutes in and already know this guy hasn't a clue how to build arrows. Click bait....
