The perfect hunting arrow setup

Take the nocks out to prevent pressure from pushing on the inserts

Not necessary using super glue. They dry in half a second.

[@kyleware2520]

Dude tell me about that light! Need that for my shop today

[@5jjt]

If you lightly score, or scour, the inside surface of the arrow the glue will have something to bite into, and will help adhesion. Do the outside of the insert too.

[@gregbrown98]

this was the first thing i thought of. just a quick twist with a little 200 grit sandpaper will massively increase adhesion.

[@jumrobe]

The other nice thing with the RIP TKO is that if you do want to go crazy on FOC, you can build an arrow with greater than 15% FOC without having to go super heavy becuase the GPI is the same when you jump from a 300 to a 250 spine.

I went to VAP TKO last year. Good arrow. Strong.

[@brandonbonner7559]

I agree with everything except for the use of the outserts. I dislike them and have had multiple bent outserts cause arrow failure. Switched to hit inserts with Iron will titanium collars. Makes them rock solid! I’ve bent field tips and had no issue with the arrow, just replaced the tip and kept rolling.

[@SkyHounddroneservices]

I’m also running that setup

[@josephstanczak4340]

Good stuff Chris. Two questions if I may: 1. Do you cut the shaft to length width the added length of the outsert in mind? 2. What diameter field point do you use with these shafts? Thank you

I think my next dozen might be Victory or Sirius brand in 5mm. I've been using Day Six (.204 5mm) and Easton long range (.166 4mm) for a few years now. The Day Six HD 300 spines are tough as nails, never broken one. Can't say the same about the Easton's. I hit a golf tee on my target and one broke in half. I'm finding the .166/4mm's are just more fragile for whatever that's worth.

[@jimputnam7539]

That’s very interesting that you are shooting basically the same arrow and weight I shoot out of my VXR28 at 75# with a 28.5 draw at 300fps. Very informative build.

[@alecparsons4825]

Shooting same arrow this year out of my v3 31 75lb draw 28.5” length getting 302fps mine came out with lighted nocks at 432. I used a lighter hidden insert instead of the half in half out that comes with them

In depth arrow build review except what broadhead to use still love the videos man. Please tell us what broadhead your using for the season.

[@2Boutdoors]

deadmeats ofc

[@sthompson447]

I’ve heard it’s good practice to have your nock removed when gluing the insert so back pressure doesn’t push the inset out. What’s your thought on that? Is that more of a concern when using hot melt, and not necessarily if you’re using a quick setting super glue?

[@HighDesertAdventurer]

I've experienced HIT inserts being pushed out a bit due to an air lock effect with the nock in. I always remove the nock now when gluing the insert. Superglue and ironwill hot melt. Never had the issue with standard inserts.

[@HFG.]

I shoot a grim reaper 100 grain whitetail special and I just shot my first doe of the season the other night 437 grains total weight. Hit opposite side shoulder and blew through it complete pass through

[@joshuareiss1738]

I shot my buck last year with a white tail special and i didn’t get as good of a shot off on him. I’m convinced the white tail special is ultimately why it was a fatal shot. Phenomenal broad head

[@bobbytables4305]

You should give the Halo Lighted Nocks a go. Podium Archery Recommended them and they seem to hold up well in the 4mm form factor.

[@Orr_s]

Hoping these work well for me because i love my VAP SS elites but the .166 diameter lighted nocks can cause some real iffy tuning and flight…love lighted nocks but i was tempted to run the stock ip4 nocks this season just for stoutness and durability for flight out of the bow

[@timothymason6798]

I love your videos. I have learned a lot from you. I’m not trying to correct you. But when you talked about your ASD and trying to explain where your insert straitness comes from you can use the terms ID (inside diameter) and OD (outside diameter) I think that’ll help get your point across incase you do other video like this in the future. Keep doing what you do. GREAT content.

I have an older Bitzenburger and the jig that came with it works fine but I bought a left helical clamp and it caused my vanes come out two closer together than the other and I discovered that the new jig has a thin piece steel glued to the clamp where the old clamp dose not and that threw the alignment off.

I disagree a little on one point. 😳 The ASD can help with accuracy and installation of insert because some inserts have some slop going in.

[@garymiller4715]

Been watching people hunt with them. It almost seems like they are so stiff that they have a tendency to get hung up and prevent the arrows from passing all the way through. Especially 4 fletch. I'm probably wrong but it's just something I think I've noticed.

[@nextgen_performance]

@@garymiller4715 I have yet to hunt with a 4 fletch but have ran the 2.75 driver 3 fletch for the last 3 seasons and have yet to have one not go all the way through minus a hard quartering away shot.

[@coreystoner4129]

I run a slightly heavier arrow than most other guys. I run a 5mm Easton axis with a 25 or 50 grain outsert( can’t remember which one). Blazer vanes, nocturnal nocks and either a g5 dead meat or a rage hyperdermic no collar. Total arrow weight of that set up is around 488 grains. The reason it’s so heavy is due in part to me having a 31 inch arrow I think and 75 pound draw weight. All I can say is when I’m shootings it at the range those arrows are screaming down range. At 60 yards into a block target I’m still getting 12 inches of penetrations. Also went to a double pin sight from spot Hogg this year and loving the inline set up with the pins.

@@jrod4717 I don't believe that any arrow is capable of going through an elk shoulder. Probably glanced off and kept on going. A 485 gr arrow is still considered fairly light and regardless of how heavy an arrow is, it still has to hit something vital to be effective.
