[@Anoobics]

I don't know why it is but man I love stumping videos. used to watch Greyarcher videos all the time but since he stopped I cant seam to find anyone who consistently does em. but this video was very enjoyable to watch. love you're passion in what your doing so thank you.

[@SamkoTradBow]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!

6:57 "these are one of my favorites small dogs" haha

[@tradarcher8714]

One of my favorite things about traditional archery. Great vid brother

[@SamkoTradBow]

Agree. Nothing like some quality roving time in the woods.

[@ravenflight88]

Aim small miss small ! My favorite is shooting in a cut corn field pick a stob at a random distance and let em fly. It's great for you guys that are afraid of loosing an arrow, builds confidence before you head into the woods to stump shoot as well. It's also great practice for rabbit and squirrel hunters 😎

[@SamkoTradBow]

Yep no better practice that stumpin!

[@glenurquhart2300]

That's AWESOME ! Great video !

[@SamkoTradBow]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@DudeGoosin]

I appreciate the time you put into your videos.

[@SamkoTradBow]

Thank you very much

[@SticksSteelAboveBelow]

I always make sure I designate a certain spot in my quiver for my judo, because that hole will always have dirt in it fastest way to dull a broadhead 😎🤙😉

[@SamkoTradBow]

Yep same here. judo goes in the same spot everytime and its only for judos.

[@edcar61]

As always, great video

[@SamkoTradBow]

Thank you

[@bryanthornton6787]

Great video. Once I get the bow tuned, stumping is all I do.

[@SamkoTradBow]

Yep nothing better for real world practice

[@felipearaujo7815]

Do you know wich head break less arrows? I'm really trying to get an answer on how to break less arrows. If I buy a 30lbs bow will it break less arrows due to being weaker?

[@Costin_T]

I love this video !

[@SamkoTradBow]

Thanks. Gonna make another one soon. Been a while since I did this one.

[@ronmacdougall9612]

Good idea,thanks for sharing

[@SamkoTradBow]

Welcome.

[@chadkampster7425]

I don't know what that is. The cat enters the chat🤣. Great video.

[@tjabaley]

Nothing more relaxing than killing stumps with a trad bow! Nice video

[@SamkoTradBow]

Agree and great real world practice.

[@Greyarcher1]

Got to try that 🤠

[@SamkoTradBow]

Great real world practice and fun!

[@SmallGameHunter]

hi there, great vid. Recommendation for judo points? where and what do you buy? thanks

[@SamkoTradBow]

I like true zwicky judo points. The knock off or other brands don't last as long. I have a like to them in the video description below the video.

[@SmallGameHunter]

@@SamkoTradBow thank you for the reply. I looked before and double checked now in the description but dont see the link. But I know what you are talking about and will look for them on amazon. Thanks again

[@SamkoTradBow]

@@SmallGameHunter 3 rivers archery and kustom king both sell them too

[@raymondjones1866]

I been and still use a zwickey Judo point for years with my Mathews Vertix and HTR Nocam either out of a treestand as a practice shoot and dropped whitetails moments later and watching them drop in under 40yds and also setup a paper Wawa coffee cup near my vehicle and shoot various yardages from 20 to 60yds with Easton Full metal jackets and arrow holds up well with Easton broadhead adapter rings to protect the hit inserts and fly extremely accurate the Carbon Express Judo type points are terrible the wire springs snap off .

[@SamkoTradBow]

Awesome. Most of the compound guys I shoot with don't shoot judo much. Glad to see you are. I agree the zwickey judo is the judo that last the longest and is the toughest!

[@raymondjones1866]

@@SamkoTradBow I was worried since the recent passing of Zwickey being able to purchase more but they hit hard with a ton of shock trauma.

[@SamkoTradBow]

@@raymondjones1866 yep love the zwickey judo! I dont believe there will be any issues getting any.

[@garytomas1757]

Zwickey by far the best on the market. Got one 15 years ago and probably have a thousand shots with it. The magical un-loosable arrow.

[@raymondjones1866]

@@garytomas1757 very true even shot at ground level at 60yds and the loud pop it makes blowing out the bottom of a paper coffee cup and arrow recovery is even easy in the pinebarrens of NJ with scrub oak and pine needles the spring claws are effective.

You have a great property.

[@SamkoTradBow]

Thanks. I had! Sold it and moved to Georgia a year and a half ago

[@kevinemard5370]

I just picked up a new bow reflex deflex long bow/flat bow having trouble getting the arrows i use with my recurve to shoot straight so i started to look for new arrows taking a while to find the right arrows for the bow its a process in its self never had a long bow since i was a kid do you have a recommendation for a 55lb draw at 28.5 inches i want to shoot 200-250 gn heads out of it?

[@SamkoTradBow]

Congrats on the new bow. You are probably gonna be a 400 spine shaft I'm guessing. But there are so many variables including your form and release. Lots of great videos on bare shaft testing out there and that is a great way to get your arrows flying right and find the length and size you need.

[@zachdavis712]

How many judos do you break jason? I bought a pack of glue on 125s, put them on a 40 grain adapter to equal my 160 points and broke the heads off both of them within 5 shots each just hitting leaves and dirt. Trying to figure out if I somehow got a dud batch but im not spending 15$ on 2 heads again if they keep breaking

[@SamkoTradBow]

Those csnt be real zewicky judo. They have to be knock off. I can shoot the same judo for 5 years with 5000 shots a year and break 10 arrows before the judo fails

[@zachdavis712]

@@SamkoTradBow they came in the zwickey package from 3rivers!😂

[@TubeYou7]

How are you not breaking a whole load of arrows doing that? Are you using special shafts or something?

[@SamkoTradBow]

Carbon shafts. They hold up great. I shoot probably 5000 arrows a year like this and break 1 every couple years

[@felipearaujo7815]

What heads break less arrows? I'm really trying to get an answer on how to break less arrows. If I buy a 30lbs bow will it break less arrows due to being weaker? It's really hard to get an answer.

[@SamkoTradBow]

When you are stump shooting carbon arrows are the best. Wood break and aluminum get bent. Carbons are the toughest. Hex heads, or judo tips are the best

[@felipearaujo7815]

@@SamkoTradBow what about rubber blunts? Do they help? Have you tried lighter bows? does a 30 lb break less than a 60? I'm trying to decide weather I invest in heads or just get a light bow for playing while I leave the heavy one for hunting.

[@SamkoTradBow]

@felipearaujo7815 I shoot a 57# bow and carbon arrow with a judo and break 1 arrow every 2 or 3 years and I stump shoot 5 days a week.

[@felipearaujo7815]

@@SamkoTradBow Thats the answer I was looking for, thanks.

[@talexander7217]

For more reactive targets, I shoot dead twigs off tree limbs while I'm stumping.

[@davidharris7687]

I just saw this one. Great video and I wonder why there's not more of these also, cause the judo & stump shooting is the greatest consolation to traditional archery I know of! The judo is almost indestructible and I love stumping so much that it will take me away from hunting sometimes just for something to do when hunting gets too slow! Best shooting practice I know of!

[@SamkoTradBow]

Agree 100% love stump shooting and do it almost daily. Same thing, when hunting gets slow or I have to walk back to the truck with wind at my back I might as well stump shoot.

[@robsarchery9679]

Where did you get that quiver though?

Great northern bowhunting company.

[@Tullminator]

Cool thanks! Merry Christmas!

[@huntingfanatic9599]

How much did your bow cost you? I want to upgrade just not sure to what I have a pse sequoia

[@SamkoTradBow]

Custom bow prices vary greatly. Bows from Steve at northernmistlongbows.com that builds mine Range from 650-1000. He has all his prices right on his website.

[@huntingfanatic9599]

Thank you I am still filling my feet into trad hunting and I only have killed a 4 point with my 55# sequoia but would like a faster bow

[@huntingfanatic9599]

Dipping*

[@SamkoTradBow]

@@huntingfanatic9599 sequia is a beautiful bow! Definitely don't need anything faster. But when you are ready to move to a custom bow there are alot of great options. But the bow you have will do a great job as well as you have seen! Congrats and welcome to the traditional bowhunting world!

[@huntingfanatic9599]

Thx man

[@kevinemard5370]

Is that a new bow the color looks a bit different to me

[@kevinemard5370]
