I DELETED The TAC Vane Video...Here's WHY

I DELETED The TAC Vane Video...
Today we are discussing arrows, vanes and broadheads with Levi Morgan, Josh Jones and engineer Rick Forest. We took down a reaction video that we published last week that raised some eyebrows. Some of the information was wrong and we made some assumptions...

So, we got everyone together to discuss the TACs production and testing protocols. This was a fun conversation and we hope you learn with us! #elkshape #abt @tacvanes @ManimlMindset

Love when Dan runs into conflict, puts himself aside and does his best to make things right. Good on everyone for coming together.

[stevejohnson]

A lot of people run from conflict, takes some big people to face it head on. Thanks a ton for putting this video out. Some great people coming together so it's a win for everyone!

[randyringler]

Industry needs more videos like this. Thanks for this! Good on all of you for working it out in a civil way and then committing to working together on some projects. This is how we all learn and grow together. Great work men.

[stefanc]

This is awesome, thanks for this video. I understand the skepticism in the TAC video and it's great you sat down with them and went over things. This shows such integrity on both sides and now I'm super excited for some future vids with them, especially since I have Shwackers in quiver as we speak!

[gabrielhouston]

Just when I thought I couldn’t like you guys more. You all are solid for making this happen! Great Job!

[EthanPageHunter]

This was exactly how to handle something like this. Well done boys!

[sawyertward]

One hell of a squad right here and a hell of a video! Clarified so much and brought so much good to the table. Rick is a wizard in engineering and brought up some damn good points that blew me away! Thanks guys

[dwightlawrence]

I’m so impressed with the class act you’ve modelled. It takes guts to be humble and apologize. Well done!!!

[williedunn-rjnq]

So much respect that y’all can get on here and admit faults and talk about it like adults without bashing one another to only prove you’re right and nobody else’s opinion matters unlike another guy’s video on YouTube discussing arrows. Good job guys keep it up

[SWMissouriOutdoors]

Great way to clear the air and make things right, good solid conversation and back and forth explanations. All 4 of you are standup guys!! Not an elk, but whitetail I shot this year had an entrance hole about 3" across and exit over 2" with full pass through. 25 yards from a treestand 15 feet up with slight quarter away. It went 40 yards and Ray Charles could track it.

[papaschuette]

Good on the 4 of you for coming together to properly get the correct information out to all of us that are interested in improving. I have used Swhacker #207's and the #202 broadheads in the past and getting pass through shots on whitetails. Same thing when I shot Levi's 100gr and 125gr version. No issues other than not having 100% complete confidence like Rick does. There's a chance that 1 or maybe both blades don't deploy correctly. Not likely to happen, but it is possible. A fixed blade takes that variable out of the equation. So, I'm currently back shooting the 125gr Stinger Buzzcut 4 blade. Until I can afford some Iron Will single bevel's. I think pairing some 125gr Iron Will's with some Victory RIP Elite 300's would be a sweet setup.

[jackbuendgen]

I had a feeling your vid would get taken down. But I'm really glad you guys were able to connect. I've had so so luck with TAC vanes

[bloodlines]

This was pretty cool. Instead of one sided back and forth bickering you sat down and talked it out. I enjoyed this. I shot TAC vanes for years but recently i couldn't get them to stick. I tried everything. I switched to DCAs because they're quiet and fly great. But ill always enjoy TAC vanes

[luisvillalba]

Great content, didn’t get to watch the TAC video but I get an idea on what it was about. It’s just amazing how everything needs to be perfect come into place. Personally I haven’t been able to build the right arrows with Tac vanes, but like every product out there just because I couldn’t make them work for me doesn’t mean they don’t perform well for others. That’s the beauty about archery keep tinkering… 🙌🏼

[mikewhitehead]

I myself loved your video. It had very valid questions/opinions in it. It was also great that Levi & Rick came on & the 4 of you had a respectful conversation about everything. Kudos to you all. Especially challenging the greatest archery that ever lived, lol.

[klc]

Awesome video! MEN getting together & overcoming! This is how it should be when we have differences. Thank you Gentlemen for rising above!!!🙌

[jaredanderson]

I’m glad to see yal come together and talk about this and I would like to see all 4 of come together and do testing and I’d like to see yal add a few guys like ranch fairy and the hunting public guys so they can put the input from broadheads on the heavier FOC with the same vane configurations to see if any of that makes a difference in groups and drops

[glenncharles]

Dan, this right here is why I love your channel and the content you put out. People sitting down and talking through tough questions is what we need more of. Well done!

[mattguzman]

This is a great follow up video! Can’t believe y’all did this. This is what the archery community should be! Thank you. TBH, I went away from the first video with a negative attitude towards TAC vanes. This was fantastic. Thanks again!

[SurprisedArcher]

Levi, didn't like you calling out their BS. I think your video was accurate. DCA was still under represented. Instead, Marekting said, " spin the message and smooth this over". Or a marketing ploy to create a storyline and create more discussion about everyone's products.
