[@tylerhovis6489]

(Budget)My first bow and current setup is Diamond Edge 320. Been into archery for 8 months now and I absolutely love it. I appreciate the content you put out as a beginner trying to learn, thank you!

[@samcarlson1700]

I love their offset bracket!!! It really helps with back pack hunts too. I ran one last year and it really helped take off some of the weight.

[@dancom69]

Thanks for this video. Im a target shooter and its always hard to have real, honest and well explain answer with those stabilizers bar.

[@ryanderlago]

Thanks for all the content,, today’s “balancing the bow” info is so often overlooked and bars are bolted on often as a formality rather than a tool. Personally, bow balance isn’t something I paid much attention to until the past 3 years. For me, front bars are useless with back bars making an incredible difference. I hunt 60 yards and in and cannot justify having a front bar as a properly tuned back bar alone keeps me steady and accurate to 60. Too many videos are focused on “do you need a back bar” whereas in my experience “do you need a front bar”? Thx again for everything you do here!🙏

[@blessedvetoutdoors]

Great video Tim (my bad brother) and JJ. Always sliding through with a wealth of knowledge

[@TimConnor13]

Tom is a good 🥚

[@DavidBowCrazyBabyak86]

I really appreciate this video from you guys. I've been messing with bars over the last year and this just totally helped me out of time. Thank you so much!

[@TimConnor13]

Glad it helped my friend

[@Outdoorbowhunter]

Great video and excellent explanation of why and how different bars work.i run a 12” and a 8” on my hunting set up and a 27” and a 12” on my target bow. I also run my back bars more down to help me from dropping on my shot if that makes any sense.

[@sinepari9160]

I use a 12''/10'' but also add a limb saver s-coil passthrough type on ends for the addition of weights. Adds about 2'' of length and vibe kill. Final is 15.5 front and 12'' rear, the most I'd want to carry into the field. The Quattro Vulcan stabs supposedly have internal vibe control. Whether that is BS or not, I don't know, but it's perfectly leveled at the draw and completely dead in hand. I also always shoot with my quiver on, which takes a bit more rear bar bias.

[@TimConnor13]

I haven’t found vibration to be an issue with a hunting bow setup ✊

[@sinepari9160]

yeah doesn't matter but I use the same bow for target@@TimConnor13

[@goelzprogram]

Your timing is impeccable, I was just wondering about this. Definitely need to tinker with my setup. And a bonus Supertroopers reference?! You guys are killing it!

[@drd7525]

Been waiting to see the latest Podium offset bar...glad it should ne coming real soon

[@mikeford963]

I know I'm late to the game, but I built my own aluminum tube stabilizer with an end machined to accept the Mathews Harmonic dampers and stabilizers. This is on my Ovation, it's 36" overall. One Harmonic Stabilizer and two old thick dampers. My Reezen has a 6" Axion with similar mass in it.

[@MeatPopcicle]

My current “budget” bow is a Bear Paradox, Trophy Taker Smackdown pro click, Podium offset bar and 10* quick disco, and soon will have a Redline Rl-2 sight.

[@howardgriffinii7004]

Great bow! I have the Resurgence LD and the Smackdown Pro. Are you able to get two bolts into the riser with the rest? I can only get one and it's moved on me ever so slightly causing my arrows to go in tail high on paper test so my shop has been having to constantly adjust it. Maybe I need to use some lock tite?

[@MeatPopcicle]

@@howardgriffinii7004 I was able to get both bolts in as well as the lil set screw on the front.

[@xylion1985]

i just love these vids. i have a kairos on the way i will be shooting for 3D and field. this is my first hunting bow and this showed me a whole new world coming from indoor archery. only very sad that in belgium we dont have events like tac wish someone would start up something over here like that. i would be all over that. keep op the great work you 2

I have a Sanlida Archery Dragon X8. I am new to archery. I really like my bow,and was just wondering what your guy's opinion was on it. RTH package. $269.

Check out the PSE Stinger and the BlackOut Distinct or Epic BlackOut Faze is only $299 (BlackOut is made by Bear or Elite depending on the bow)

[@Redneck-Outdoor]

Love this content and I’d say Bear legit seems like a contender for your budget bow build. One of bears most sold bows on the market.

[@chengsterboi07]

I just use a 10 degree drop 8in front bar. Was thinking about the counter slide from tim gillingham video he talked about it with a few great reasons

[@JonathanCopeland]

May be an unpopular pick because it is a China bow, but the Sanlida Dragon 10 has very impressive specs at a 450 dollar bare bow price. It is marketed as their flagship hunting bow and Sanlida is a legit archery company that does higher end target bows. Would be very intrigued to see MFJJ pick it apart and see if it's a true budget speed bow

[@Ullish1989]

Similar to the Topoint Trigon. Aluminium limb pockets, American limbs, CNC machined aluminium riser, harmonic dampeners. All that as a bare bow $330 Australian which is like $200 USD I think people just hate on China gear because China

[@LukeMcMullin]

@@Ullish1989 I am on a disability pension after a bad tree stand accident and can't afford much so I purchased a Junxing M-128. It cost me $388.00 CAD and free shipping but for that price I ended up with a box of parts and had to figure it out on my own no instructions. But I did figure it out and am quite impressed.

[@roytownsend4008]

I love the content you and mfjj put out. I think you are a great content creator and answer alot questions alot of people have, or cover topics that others dont. Keep it up

[@johnarcher9480]

A LOT of where your sidebar sits will be determined by grip, hand size and the shape of the riser, especially the shelf. One of my bows needs a LOT of sidebar to “balance” out, others are pretty much straight back. Don’t assume that because your last bow had a certain position that worked, that same setup will work on your new bow. The target bow was rocking back on the shot…add front weight, or remove rear weight, or rotate back bar down.

[@justingarant9367]

Doing the bull dance, feeling the flow, working it, working it -MFJJ. Why is it, that an extendable stabilizer ( especially in the hunting field) not been produced. Something in regards of a trekking pole or tripod style. Twist lock, extend, shorten. Have the ability to shorten it apon travel/ storage and extend to desired balance point. All I know is length can be very beneficial yet knowing when to use it is key. Keep these vids a-coming 👍

[@N8Stein]

Mjff talks about grabbing the bow before the arrow is out. Can you try some slow mo to show it? Not super important, just think it'd be interesting to see

[@krisaunedi4920]

Tim your doing a killer job on your KZbin channel and it is really cool that you Josh helping you out a lot. Good friends stick together and that's what counts. Just one thing to ask both of you is that on my RX-8 I have the Garmin Xero bow site and still having a little hard time balancing out the bow and suggestions on how I would be able to solve my issue. I am running the 10" and 8" Hoyt stabilizers but you know how heavy the Garmin can be so just asking. Again Tim and Josh I really enjoy your content you put out and good luck getting one hundred thousand subscribers I really hope you get there fast and you will!!!

I put on a 15' front and a 7'back for hunting last year out west and i was absolutely impressed. Im 6'5, so if my 15 inch bar isnt fitting neither am i...LOL After walking a mile or two, i noticed the bars the most. (Pretty drastically if i may say) Even just having a backbar that is set up correctly is a huge game changer. IMHO Lets be honest, these long bars of destiny are INTIMIDATING! I get some looks with my setup, get asked "you hunt with that". I have started taking my bars off my bow and letting others try them at the range, 9/10 they end up going inside to the shop and buying a stabilizer..
