      I second this motion, since it's exactly what I'm planning to do irl. I'm a beginner with a Bear Archery Cruzer G2 and I want to pimp all accessories out before I invest in a high end bow, so that I can then take all the good accessories to that better bow. I'd be very interested in your opinion on how much of a difference in tuning this would make while doing it, and in terms of the resulting gains in accuracy.

    I'm super excited by this video. I went out and bought a blackout intrigue xs RTH package. Spent 362$ plus 45$ for arrows. I've only shot archery for a month now and today, shot a 283 with this set up. Just goes to show that if your fundamentals are correct, expensive equipment only aids your skill. You make the best of what you have.

    Fun fact: Martin Archery used to include a "Draw pin" with every bow, which allowed the customer to block the cam like you did so that draw lengths could be changed and peeps could be installed. Before presses were readily available, we often used ratchet tie-downs hooked to the cams to do the same.

I would love to see a different variant of the budget build where you jump on a forum or Craigslist/Ebay/Facebook and buy some decent used equipment to do a build. It would have to be unbiased and not people giving you stuff cheap/free because you are famous.

    I really enjoy watching these bow builds. I have learned so much. I’m tired of going to pro shops around my area which always seems to do something wrong. When I first bought my bow a while back I had cabellas do everything for me and come to find out they screwed up a lot of things. I then took it to a pro shop to install my drop away rest and after getting home and shooting a couple arrows my drop away fell. They forgot to tighten it down. This is when I decided to start building my own bows. These bow builds have helped so much. Thank you.

    On the serving material front, I wanted olive drab green to match my VXR, but couldn't find any in that shade of green. So, being a fisherman anyway, I picked up a couple of cheap spools braided low-vis green fishing line, one is 80 lb., and the other is 65 lb. It is the Berkley X5 line and is $17 each for a 164 yard spool. And the diameters are right there at what you would want for serving material thickness at .015" for the 65 lb., and .016" for the 80 lb. It works great for peep tie in and stuff like that. You could go lower on the pound test for thinner line and use it for tied in nock points as well.

    I love this concept. You dont need your thousand dollar bows to start off. I started with and still have a Mathews Switch, 29" draw, 60lb, 350 spine and I shoot a 285 on an avrg Vegas 3 spot. Shooting up to 50 yards in the backyard, I normally shoot 30-50 yards. 2" black printed dot with some painters tape holds it on the target and Ill do 3" groups all day long when the wind isnt howling. Iv had it for around 6 months, learning new things here n there to help amp up my game. My father was big into archery when I was little. He got out of it sadly, but is now getting back into it because I fell in love with it. Soon I plan to upgrade to a vxr 28 from this little Switch and give it to my brother to let him far around with. Hes not huge into archery so thatll fit him just well.

    Better off going with a Dragon for the extra 2" on axle to axle measurement, and take the savings towards a better sight with metal mount like a Trophy Ridge or TruGlo. The Dragon comes with BCY strings and Gordon Glass limbs. The Pro shop sells Matthew's Mission bows as the lower cost options, but I found them to be more harsh.
    With Pro shops closing down around here for some time now, it's over $20 in gas just to go to the local one and back. So a bow that one can tune at home is advantageous in my case. TH-cam helps a lot with gaining experience.

    Brilliant video, many thanks. I've just purchased a Matthews Apex 7 from my local second hand shop.I live in the UK so the sport isn't quite as prolific here due to not as much bow hunting happening here ( not that I know of anyway) so it was a lucky find. The bow has a riser, peep site and D loop on it but I don't have a sight, arrows, stabilizer or release yet, so as you can imagine I'm chomping at the bit to shoot some arrows now. Thanks to your video I now know how to set the bow up when I purchase my new bits.

      @thedudenico3064 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@jordantremblay136 the V3 27 is by far the best short axle to axle bow ever! It’s a very quiet bow, it’s also a really stable bow even without stabilizers, it’s also pretty forgiving while it’s very short I have had some of the tightest groups with it and a couple of split arrows. This bow compared to the 31 is not very different I would say, the draw cycle is pretty smooth especially for it’s size. I’ve shot some long range with it and it performs great, if you want the bow to more consistent you could take the grip off which I have done and now the bow is even better. The bow also doesn’t just drop into the back wall when the let off kicks in like others, it feels very nice getting in to the back wall and is very solid and since it’s on the short side due to the string angle you got some more FPS. Once you start getting really comfortable with the bow you will always wanna stick with it, this bow literally puts a smile on my face. If your looking for a short bow that performs like a long bow look no further. If you have any other questions please ask me!

    I recently got my first bow back out (Diamond Edge SB-1), had it restrung and prepped as a back up bow. Hamskea rest, Trophy Ridge Alpha slide (basic one), and a simple CBE 10" stab, and it has been a blast to shoot. It actually has been a great learning experience also because I have gotten somewhat use to the forgiveness that I get out of my higher end bow and setup. With the Diamond, I have to really focus on my technique and consistency much more, which has only made me a better shooter with my upgraded setup.
    Great video and would like to see more videos, maybe a series, starting with this bow and showing a progression through beginner, mid-tier, and finally high end setups. Like some others have suggested, upgrade all the accessories, arrows, and release to higher end (even what you shoot on your Mathews) and see how it shoots. Then take it even further and upgrade the bow to a mid-tier $600-$800 bow. Just from a shooting standpoint, I really have wondered (with similar setups) how much different the levels of bows actually shoot.

    I actually have that Trophy Ridge Mist sight on my PSE from 06 that I still use. I am left eye dominate but right handed. I got it because it says that it’s ambidextrous, but I ran of adjustments both vertically and horizontally. I also have shot a whisker biscuit since I got my bow 14 years ago. However recently I decided to try a Black Gold Widow Maker 5 pin in true left hand and a Hamskea Primer drop away. I won’t know if it made a difference until I shoot broadheads through it.

Flip it upside down and it will hold the sight higher then you will get some adjustment space back. I can tell you got a little burned out on this video in the end. Forget about this holdover crap, get the bow dialed in and prove the concept. Great fun video i totally get why this would burn you out once you have the micro adjust you cant go back.

I don’t shoot year round anymore but when I started out I would shoot 8-10 Times a month or so. I’ve never had any issue. Even the Velcro is fine. Scott’s was invented and manufactured one county over from me in Mt. Sterling Ky. Even went turkey hunting with the owner once.

    This is great! I just found this and looking to get into archery. Looking at the Mission site 3 years later...have you ever shot the MXR for hunting? Great stuff Chris!

    Great video 👍. Im new to archery and shot a donated mission craze for a year. Its a great youth bow and can easily shoot far. I just upgraded to a MXR and I feel every little improvement. Getting good groups on the Craze made shooting the mxr easy. Great vid. Definitely need to try out the paper tune.

    $15 grizzly compound bow from garage sale, $40 for 6 aluminum shafts, $5 for field points, $40 for broadheads, $40 for new string and installment, and $40 for a release. $180 for a Bow setup.

    Gotta love a budget bow build.
    Probably one of the worst limitations of these budget bows are the quality of the strings which can lead to peep rotation. So I'm pretty surprised you didn't pick a peep with a tube connector

  • @Subpargolfvideo
    @Subpargolfvideo 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    So YOU are the culprit of telling all these people to tie a peep like that! 😂. Man I’ve cussed that type of tie-in more times than I can count. Sketchiest thing EVER to try and cut out.

    @trevorturk7473 ปีที่แล้ว

    Those ez rest need to have the whisker biscuit tightened. There’s two Allen heads where it attaches that will loosen up and cause it to fall off. Can’t hunt without it. Ask my how I know 😅😂

    For just under 450 new zealand dollars (220usd) I set up a bowtech destroyer 350 in mint condition a g5 rock 5 pin sight, elite stokerised stabilizer, rip cord code red rest and a 3 arrow tightspot. By far the best build I've put together for under a grand (bow and accessories are way more here than the states)

    Just shop for deals. I got my brand new PSE Drive NXT with Spott Hogg sights, B stinger stabilizer, Trophy Taker rest for that same cost just because it was an old model. Was never used. The shop I bought it from sold it as a package deal to get rid of the stuff. I just shopped for a deal, and you'll find them.

    Many, many years ago. I had a “McPherson GC 2000” I shot it quite well with just the basic “ must haves”. I’m now looking to get back into archery so please, any recommendations will help. Thanks.

    I mean you could just wait for a good deal on Kijiji to I payed 300 Canadian dollars for
    -bear cruzer g2
    -trophy ridge react h5
    bee stinger stabilizer
    -blackout apostal release
    -6 fmj arows
    -8 Easton power flights
    deepsix broad heads
    and waited months to get a good post on Kijiji so sometimes it is worth it to wait.

  • @patrickmcjury6034
    @patrickmcjury6034 ปีที่แล้ว

    Neat video, it's interesting to see what goes in to setting up a new bow with bare bones options. Makes me happy I went with a bear RTH bow for my first bow though.

  • @Hooker47man

    This was the best video for me a novice in the sport. I can read directions from a manual but you included some very important details the manual does not.

  • @SocalOutdoorAdventures

    If you were to keep this bow, what items would you replace and in which order? would you replace the whisper biscuit or the sight first?

  • @thedudenico3064

    I love how when I saw this last night it was 55 minutes and now it 43 minutes, that was a long outro.😂

  •  3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I still use my PSE Deer Hunter from 2005 with some TruGlo stabilizer, sight, and some pretty basic stuff. Feels almost like a vintage bow. I don't think I crossed the 350 USD line. But I can hit a box of safety matches out to 55 yards if the arrows are good quality. Yeah, it is maybe slower than the present days' entry-level bows but as I don't hunt accuracy and smooth draw are the only things that matter to me.

    Hey when u were shooting u could here when u pull back might be a little off too because sounded like the field tips were loose

  • @itsyahnny
    @itsyahnny 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    So I’m new to archery but I got my bow used and wasn’t satisfied with the sight it came with so I got this same exact sight and I was having issues with the sight being maxed out just like you, I’ve flipped the mount upside down and I have wayyyy more room to adjust, I may be wrong, like I said I’m new BUT it works better if you flip the mount it’s self upside down.

  • @outdoorswithpipp3684
    @outdoorswithpipp3684 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Diamond edge sb1 is also a great option for the beginner and it’s around the same price as this setup

  • @willmann8597
    @willmann8597 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks again Chris, another great video. You prove to me that it can be done still, but also proves to me with a little bit more money I can get what I really want without sacrificing quality if I’m patient. May take me longer to build the one I want, but in the end it will last me till I’m done and can’t hunt anymore.

  • @user-ct4im4nd6r

    This is actually a very informative video These budget bows and equipment are really as good or better than what we started out with 35 years ago I had a Pearson with small round cams and hunted with it for 2 years before I started 3D shooting and upgraded to a PSE The Pearson was actually more forgiving I could almost Robin Hood one but the upgrade was better quality faster So it’s up to you however much you can afford and shoot comfortably

  • @leeeychaner4191
    @leeeychaner4191 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You just convinced me to buy a hammer. Been shooting for 30 years, high end bows, bowtech to be exact, but I want a compact,simple, hunting bow so I'm not beating up my expenses stuff. Thanks

  • @Ghuarocc
    @Ghuarocc 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    is it worth upgrading the accessories on a budget bow? I bought a Diamond Edge on craigslist with all basic furniture and I'm itching to upgrade the rest and possibly adding stabilizers.

  • @volvtech7773
    @volvtech7773 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lol I shoot an old Chill SDX I picked up Iordered and switched the mods out for draw length but would like to know how much I can adjust those bolts on the limb brackets there's a pretty decent gap there.

  • @R0mans13
    @R0mans13 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was embarrassed a couple years ago when I bought the RTH Bear Species. I can generally shoot as well as my buds with 1000 bows. Just have to put up with the draw not being as smooth. But the bow is quieter than a friends Bowtech worth about 1200. Point is, just go shoot and have fun and money doesn’t buy skill.

  • @beaucopeland243

    Posted on another one of your videos, but wanted to know you opinion on Which would be a better setup. Cheap bow with expensive accessories or expensive bow with cheap accessories.

  • @KOSPokololol
    @KOSPokololol ปีที่แล้ว

    Man i really would like to get into archery but it really is so expensive for me. Have to buy the bow, the accessories, the arrows all that. Then get the gear, then get the permits, then find somewhere to hunt haha. Its a lot, so thanks for the vids
