Ultra Light Poundage Traditional Hunting Bow Arrow Setup 35-40#!

By request! Setting up an ultra light poundage traditional longbow or recurve for hunting with an arrow and broadhead combination that simply works! In this video we’ll demonstrate a custom arrow setup for a 36# longbow and show just how well it performs!

Jeff you are the best. I've watched most of the guys on you tube and and I go out empty. Not all of my questions are not answered. But you explain everything to the tee. Thank you so much for your dedication to archery. Love you man and God bless you.

This video is exactly what I was looking for at this time. At age 70 I am looking for a lighter poundage bow to shoot 3D with and possibly to hunt with. I currantly shoot a 51# at 28", but I only draw 26" so I am only drawing 45 to 47# at my draw length. I want to drop down to around 40# at 26". This video gives me a lot of information to go on. Thanks!

I shot a 39 lb hickory self bow last year, put the arrow through the vital v and broke the heavy leg bone on the off side on a big doe. Was shooting total arrow weight of 530 grain arrow with 300 grains upfront. Slow shooter, probably under 150 fps, definitely impressed me on the damage. Bent the old vented Magnus two blade and folded the tip back slightly. Point is, if you tune up a 30 lb bow, it would likely impress with results if arrow set up was high FOC and 12 grains per lb.

Thank you for this video, I just watched it, it is incredibly good, it has helped me a lot. God bless you.

Awesome!!! I really needed to watch this video. Watched it a few times and qent down stairs and experimented with my spare arrows. Found a 500 spine 30inch arrow with 200 grain points gave me best accuracy at 19 yards so far from my 35 # longbow so far. Need to get some inserts and do some cutting on my 600 spine to test more. Thank you sir !!!

Hi Jeff, I have to tell you that I have learned so much about tuning and shooting from you than anyone else on youtube. You go in depth about all a person needs to know about target shooting and hunting. I shoot recurves and longbows from 35lbs. to 45lbs. with a 27 3/4 inch draw length and I am using 500 spine arrows with success and no success. By listening to your talk about lighter spine in 600'S and less I have to go to 600. I have some easton platinum aluminum 874 grain arrows 28 3/4 inch that shoot well with all my bows. So what you tell us about working with lighter arrows and weighing the front is true. I am a target shooter I do not hunt and I love shooting bows.
Thank you so much for your love for the sport and passing you knowledge and experience to others. God bless you

Love your channel! As a former compound shooter, I have always been intrigued by traditional archery, and decided to get a southwest archery tiger shark pro recurve with 35# limbs to start out with. My draw length is 27.5” I’m trying to figure out what arrows to buy, as far as spine and length are concerned. I plan on hunting next season and will up my limbs to 45-50 in the summer. But for now I need some guidance . Keep putting out the great content and may God’s continued blessings be on you!!

[jarmelbarnett]

Thank you again for a great video with great information as usual. You are one of the three archery YouTube channels to which I subscribe and for information on archery. I am currently shooting an Asian bow that weights less than 1 pound, but is 40 pounds at 28 inches, but my draw length is 30.5 inches. I also shoot thumb release. I appreciate all the information that you give.

For 30+ years I shot a heavy bow 62ish at the fingers and a light arrow. Even at only a 26" draw I had no problems getting pass throughs even on Elk. A year or so back maybe 2 it began to take a toll on the tendons. I went with a light recurve and super heavy front. I am shooting black eagle instincts. Micro diameter. 100 grain outserts. 200 grain tips. Another thing that did for me, it caused me to move from split finger to 3 under. In the old days my point on was 50+ yards. With this new setup. Point on is about 25. So just hold below or at the chest line and bingo.

G'day Jeff,

Great video as always. Nice to see this and your other recent light poundage vid.

Kinda in the range I shhot these days.

Take care and stay safe mate.

Dog Goneit Jeff that looks my bow you are shooting there, except for the reddish colored wood in the riser. Don't know is you remember my bow, but it was one that was hanging on your shop wall that you sent me when the first ones you made were coming in a little under weight. I have sure been happy with that bow and it shoots extremely well. I was a little doubtful about taking that bow elk hunting this year, but I have come up with an arrow that I think will work really well. First off, I won't shoot over twenty yards. The blind that I will be hunting from is 14 yards from the game trail I will be sitting on, and the elk use that trail a lot. I came up with a Gold Tip Traditional Classic XT shaft in a 400 spine. I have 100 grain insert in the tip and am shooting a 250 grain field point out of them. My total arrow weight with a wrap and four inch fletch, is 695 grains and my FOC is 23.7%. I spent two entire days paper tuning and nock tuning them and they shoot like bullets. They are a little slow (120+ f.p.s.) but they are shooting really good, and at 14 yards they will do the trick. I will be using a 250 grain single bevel broadhead on them, probably from Sirius archery. Thanks for another great video Jeff, keep em coming buddy.
