Cory was using the Archery Pal app.. Public Land Hustle 2.0 coming in hot Monday December 13th! With a little trailer dropping this week. ABT ya’ll this off-season will be the best yet!

Two blade broad heads can index anywhere, as long as you are well tuned.

I had to go back and see when this video was posted. I watch a lot of archery channels. I don't think I know everything. I like 17 to 20 percent FOC. Modern archery allows the individual archer to custom load their bow. Build your your own load for every bow you own. Be confident, be successful, and practice, practice, practice!

[dmahe]

A lot of food for thought here! Still valid today. Thanks

[SNAGEMNTAGM]

Glad you guys post early on Mondays have my coffee before work and a little elk shape of o get the day going ...building some arrows this year and this will definitely help me decide thanks again for all the info you guys provide

[alexgenereux]

One thing I think would be good to do with all these arrows builds would be to get a lab radar chronograph and look at the speeds at distance. I am not advocating for any certain arrow weight but lighter arrows slow down faster than heavier arrows i.e. increasing pin gap as you get farther out. Honestly I have no clue what outcome this will have but would be a really interesting data point. Love the ABT arrow stuff.

[timbow]

I love ABT! Was using a 407 grain hunting two blade fixed for last year. Got pass through on deer but not on hogsevery time. Went to a 430 grain this year. Optimum speed for my set up at 268fps. I don't shoot at deer or hogs past 35 yards 99% of the time. 58#'s at 28" Elite Ritual 33. I use a CBE TL 3 pins slider. Pins set for 18, 24 & 35 yards. Because I hunt from ladder stands, 15' tall tripod and a box blind at 14' tall. I know the distances to the feeders so my pins set is dead on distance for the places. The hog place is the 18 yard shot to the feeder. Gotta tinker with stuff all the time to maybe find a new sweet spot on any Peary of the equipment.

Ive been building my arrows for little over 4 seasons now from bare shaft start to finish, about 3 dozen now and i must say even though its tedious and time consuming to do it the right way. I truly enjoy it and it allows you so much fine tuning to build what you and your bow need exactly. I was always disappointed paying someone to setup my arrows and there was still a lot left to be desired when someone else just cut and glued in inserts. Now theres endless possibilities. And my newest VAP SS elite arrows are my slickest most proud build to date. 4 fletch PM23 vanes. 60 grain total ethics inserts and collars, 486 grains total which is my lightest arrow to date. Unfortunately yet to see what they can do on an animal this year. But in practice and experimenting these things are deadlyyy…coming out of an Rx-1 at 75lb draw, 29.5” draw length.

Love the ABT, I’m constantly changing things. I jumped up the RF band wagon and quickly got off. As a southern bow hunter shot distance can quickly change. But the quality broadhead is something I’ve focused on. For me the G5 Montec has always been one of the best flying heads ever but sharpness was disappointing. So I worked on them till they are IW sharpe. Currently shooting 435 grains. In the 285fps and super happy with my current set up.

[brpnwr]

Have Dan's rig towed next time, Tim. Filmographer has its perks😉. Man, been running Victory arrows for a few years now. Would give Black Eagle the nod. Maybe with a new bow would come some new sharp sticks??? 🤔. Don't make me

[ryanwest]

If Dan is worried about trajectory, maybe you need a different jig, that is a heck of a helical. the smaller the shaft it seems the more exaggerated that is. the more helical the more down range it will drop due to friction in the air. I wonder if a couple degree offset would be best (especially if you are shooting out of a tuned bow).

[DarrenStrubhar]

I have been shooting x-impact’s for 3-4 years now, and have been very impressed. My arrow weight is around 435 and have had pass throughs on elk ( through shoulder blades) around 40 yrds. I am shooting at 291 fps

[joshc]

I shot rip tko last year until I couldn’t get them anymore, which they were probably the best arrow I ever shot, then switched to axis match grade with aae vanes I bought from mfjj, now o shoot stock black eagle arrows with half outs and blazer vanes, my arrow is 420 grain and I have a 28 draw length with a vxr 31.5, it is by far the best grouping arrows I have ever shot, keep up the great content!

[tylergordon]

The cross bow bolt comment had me rolling. My practice archery partner has a 24.5" draw length. I think she could shoot cross bow bolts.

[hootiesfilms]

I think im going to pick up some of these x impacts. Mostly because options are very limited when looking for 200 spine, but also the straightness of the shafts is attractive and this outsert collar system looks really cool.

[JimD]

I like that they have outserts for the 204/5mm also I like a tough arrow. I also like that FOC to arrow weight ratio where you are running a relativly high FOC at about 400-425 grain over-all arrow. getting your arrow speed in that 271-280ish speed range. This year I am running a 230 grain arrow with 18 FOC at 281. It feels right..

[burksoutdoors]

I run VAP SS elite 166 and the d power lighted nocks seem very solid and turn on and off with your thumbnail. I have to shoot them all the time so that I'm consistent during practice versus hunting and they are all still bright and all working correctly through countless shots. Pretty sure they are the best value out there as well.

[stephenlaney_bjj]

I am running Black Eagle Rampage 300 cut at 28.5 with ethics archery spinning insert. This setup is perfect for hog and whitetail in the south.

[EBair]

I ran the focos system on my rampages this year. Only advice is I loc tite the set screw because it was coming loose occasionally

[bowhogfl]

Dan the nockturnals for .166 shafts are VERY light for a lit nock and they fit really well. Give ‘em a try I think you’ll be impressed. Also I would have liked to seen close ups and better explanations of the outsert systems on this build. Was kinda hard to get the idea. Keep up the good work. Love the channel.
