great video you talk so well🤠👍

Hi,do you put threadlocker on ILF screws?

Yep it opened out here in Texas Saturday. I had a guitar gig Friday Night so, I was out late and didn't hunt opening morning. So I just got in my third hunt. It was cool Saturday evening and this morning. This evening it was hot and the skeeters were bad. Saturday evening I missed a spike. He jumped my string at about 18 yards. I might lay off until the next cold front.

starts at 7.11

Great video uncle B!

Are you shooting a rest on a black hunter

Thank you, Uncle Brad....

Thanks for sharing Uncle Brad. I love your Mickey shirt!

Nice video 👍😁 Hope it helps put meat 🥩 in da freezer 🏹🦌😊 God Bless Y’all 🙏😇❤️🇺🇸

I love seeing things like this where you mixed limbs with a different riser to get a more desirable bow weight! Then you were able to make heavier arrows for it to shoot like your hunting bow since it was shooting the arrows faster by 15fps! which is 10mph !!!!! And how you silenced the limbs ... cool stuff Uncle Brad! Looks like that shoulder id doing pretty darn good right now!!! Thanks for the share & God bless!

Very nice set ups👍😁 Hope you feel better soon! God Bless Y’all 🙏😇❤️🇺🇸

In my opinion I’d try shooting off the shelf then from an elevated rest. But I’d shoot both through paper. Paper tuning usually tells the whole story. I worked at an archery retailer and range many years ago and paper tuning a bow was our method for all setups. And a chronograph if you have access to one.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll give it a try for sure

Those heads with really hard steel will definitely make you talk to yourself trying to sharpen. But, if you get them Sharp they stay sharp much longer than plain steel. If you ask me get softer steel and sharpen more often , rather than get frustrated with harder ones.

good you are feeling better 🤠

Cool tip.

What quiver are you using on the longbow?

In Pennsylvania here. On opening day and until I fill my first tag, I will be armed with my scoped Wicked Ridge Fury crossbow. After that, I may or may not be armed with my 42 pound Bear Cheyenne recurve. That's my choice. When I go out for deer I believe I should be as lethal as I can be - for the animal's sake. And that means crossbow, or, my trad bow under 20 yards. If there is a "divide" I pay no attention to it.

Cool sounds like you are all set up to go! We pray that your shoulders, traps, and neck stay strong for a successful season! Keep strong uncle Brad! May God bless America and uncle Brad and Ted!

I just got a black hunter longbow with 40lbs limbs, oops should of got 30 lol. They may be getting better at advertising the correct weight. I need 30 to 34lbs. Dont want injuries either

Bow - 58” Timberghost TGX…51@28…all G10 riser Arrow - BE Carnivore 350…150 gn insert…250 gn 2 1/4” wide Great White… 30.2% Ultra EFOC.. 636 gn Total… Note: Shimmed side plate 1/16” to provide arrow clearance at full draw…have successfully harvested numerous deer with the 2” Tree Shark…love the consistent great blood trails…. was interested in giving the 2 ¼” Great White ago. Bow - 64” Black Widow PLC…45@28…All glass riser and carbon limbs Arrow - GT Ultralight 500…150 gn insert…190 gn …1.75” wide Timber Shark or 2” Tree Shark 30.4 % Ultra EFOC…550 gn Total

Traditional Archery is kinda like Golf. Lots of people struggle with it. So like Golf there are people making a living trying to fix the folks that are struggling. You definitely want your string hand and forearm in alignment. A static release is best for a hunter, in my opinion. As for draw check, I personally don't use one. I just draw to my anchor point, focus and release. I don't want anything going through my mind other than putting the arrow where I want it.

I think if you want to shoot Barebow or even serious 3D. An elevated rest is gonna generally give better arrow flight. If your focus is on hunting I think off the shelf is more managable. Closer to centershot also generally makes a bow more efficient. Or gives a more equal pull on the limbs.

Congrats Brad on a great hunt and buck! Btw - since I shot with you at TN Classic I switched to gap shooting with one eye closed. My accuracy (and confidence) has increased significantly! We missed you at Comptons this year. Gary

All my bows I elevate the rest 1/4 of an inch either with leather or a flipper style rest. I like a slight angle downwards between the shelf and the sight window for the arrow to stay in place. This helps if its a windy day and the wind is moving that arrow outwards. I do like thicker velcro as it helps contain the arrow.

Just what I’ve been looking for! Navajo wool is the best, appreciate your video man - thank you.

nice video🤠

Thanks for the information,ill be snagging some for SURE!!

I suck at shortening the bastards 🤠

I don't have many broadheads since I don't hunt. (I think I have about 36 of em 12 each of 100, 125, & 150 grains.) They tear up targets pretty fast . I have a few that need to be sharpened and I was thinking of using my grinder??? I like having them in case I do decide to hunt, or if needed for a zombie apocalypse!!! Hey I will be praying for your shoulder! I know all about bad shoulders and have broken my AC joint in my right shoulder which I never had fixed. Torn rotator cuff tendons in the same shoulder never fixed. Tore 3 or the 4 rotator cuff tendons in my left shoulder 2 completely severed in half ... Oh yeah I know about shoulder pain alright! And they tell me pro-wrestling is fake?! Fixed is a better word for it, not fake. My injuries were real and I'm paying for them now! But hey, I'm alive, breathing, and shooting arrows! God bless ya brother & thanks for the video!

I'd like to buy those VPA broadheads if you don't mind and if you still have them. I used to use Tuffheads but they quit making the Meatheads and went to a style that I do not favor.

Nice buck and a great shot Brad.

Great video showing how to do it the right way.

The truth is in the pudding.

My personal opinion. That style of riser is made more for an elevated rest. It has a wide flat shelf and flat window instead of being radiused for better arrow clearance. It also has the burger hole for threading an adjustable elevated rest. You can build up a section of the rest to get good flight as well. I always get cleaner arrow flight from elevated rests. A threaded rest placed through the burger hole can also allow for fine tuning of arrow flight. No wrong way, too each their own. Enjoy the process.

If you cant the bow, off the shelf is better. As you pivot, the arrow makes wider arc above your knuckle with elevated rest. The greater this arc, the greater the change in point of impact. Many sight shooters use a level to make sure the bow is perfectly level. Shooting with bow vertical, elevated rest allows less arrow interference. I shoot both ways. Target-elevated good. Hunting or hunting practice or 3d shoots-off the shelf or knuckle.

Brad, Hope & Pray for a Speedy Recovery! I've been Shooting & Hunting with Traditional Bows going into my 49th yr. Your question for shooting off the self or elevated rest , is a Trick Question ! LOL !! I've shot ILF riser bows both ways , as long as you are shooting the right spined arrows and nocking point , I see No Difference . It's All in the Individual ! Stay Safe & Healthy ! God Bless !

I actually just built a short mag bow ... I had 35 lb limbs laying around and so since I have been wanting a Bear Super Mag but don't want to spend $450 to buy one ... I made a riser. (I have a video on my channel if you want to see it) Anyway, I made the shelf dead center of the riser & consequently the bow instead of the handle like all my other bows ... And I have to tell ya ... It is my best shooting bow and I love it!!! The arrow sits dead center and I think it's the way to go!!! I don't know why bowyers don't do it, but hey, I'm glad I did! I will pray for you ... I know all about bad shoulders! Mine are destroyed from my pro wrestling days and a bad xar accident. I have had a 3rd degree break of my right AC joint and that's not fun yo live with. (Never had it fixed.) God bless ya and rest that shouler ... But a word of advice ... Keep some motion in it by moving it through some rehab shouler exercises. No weight just some hanging circular motions, maybe see a chiropractor or keniseologist to get the proper exercises.

Nice to have met you at twin oaks. I have a Samick discovery with a nap flipper rest and get great arrow flight. I’ve taken it off and it shots good, but not as good as the elevated rest. Hope your shoulder gets better soon.I’ve been shooting bows a long time and I’ve always get better arrow flight with an elevated rest. I also have a Bear Kodiak with feather rest, shoot wood aluminum and carbon off of it and get great arrow flight.

I can’t give you feed back on your question cause I don’t know either. But I do hope you feel better and get back to it soon.

Fred Bear and many others used to add a toothpick or the smaller end of a chop stick under their calf hair to lessen arrow contact . It works pretty good on my long bow and I’m gonna use it on my recurves next. I’ll be praying for your speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹 God Bless 🙏😇❤️🇺🇸

I like this one thanks

Interesting talk. Thanks for posting

Thank you! I'm a new sub. from the 641.. Life long Trad geek! 3D& hunting. Great tip! Always thumbs up from the 641..

Brother Matt Newton of AIM is as good as gold, he has a passion for getting kids and people into archery while sharing the gospel

Okay ima hsve to go buy these now wow awesome

If you need instructions on installing yarn silencers into a bowstring, maybe you shouldn't be shooting a bow!

👍🏻

nice build. I shoot woods and I tune all my arrows full build. Mostly because I break some arrow when starting the tune process when bare shaft. Plus you have to compensate for tail weight if they are not fletched.
