    I shot my Cape buffalo with a 70# bow, Rampage 250 spine, ethics outset 215 gr, and a Bishop 315gr single bevel. Total arrow weight about 880. Did much research and watching the RF, great setup.

    Arrow flight aside… Higher FOCs have always been king. An Easton 2213 etc arrow with a decent 125 gr broadhead out of a bow shooting 180-190 fps would blow through a deer or black bear like hot butter. I’m glad to see high FOC and high total wts coming back. This is def not a fad.

    Hi Troy, wish I could proclaim to be one of your dusters but i can't.
    I can however declare proudly to be fairy dirt. Yes i am a poor man and had to steal your knowledge and use it to solve my crossbow frustration . year's of frustration. Shooting bolts basically in the sky. I have totally missed deer at twenty yds. and a brutish black bear at forty- five yds. I was embarrassed and stopped telling my friends of all the missed shots i was talking. Not to mention all the lost bolts.
    I first took your advice and got fixed blade heads. I chose G5,s for ease in sharpening. I went with 125 gr. I had three different bolts to use. The bolts that are recommended by manufacturer with 100 gr. practice point fly deadly to thirty yds. Scary after that. I added 125 broadhead and it barried in target. took vain off one tore another.
    At this point i new I , (we) we're onto something. But damn i can't afford to lose a bolt each shot.
    I had some seven bolts that had been given to me years ago. I hated them to the point i stopped useing them. Shooting them was like trying to sight in a rifle with a bad scope.
    I decided what did i have to lose. Now i always had used plumbers tape to help toon my flappers so i had to go dirty to add more weight to broadhead. I add a stainless steal lock washer. You're not the only one to explore. I was amazed. I shit you not my group at forty yds was crazy . I even shot from standing position. Shot out to sixty yds. Deadly in sitting position.
    Sorry this is long but needed. I harvested three deer this year and if you will allow me to send photos i believe it shows everything you have taught .
    The first 41 yds. 3 blade fixed . bolt enters shoulder and deflected off shoulder traveling through deer along backbone and out opposite top off round. Bolt was half barried in ground ten yds. past deer.
    The second was a 60 yd. Pin shot i had to geuss at distance. Bolt breaks front shoulder and penetrates heart. This bolt brakes but i believe it broke from the deer running more than point off impact. Third was only a 23yd . shot i was hunting Turkey and forgot to switch bolts. So basically i had a flapper 100 gr. No lockwasher. I can't say for sure if flapper opened in flight but i would have missed at thirty yds. Bolt hit high shoulder low neck and then only penetrates 10 inches along backbone.
    Would you like photos ?.

      The taper won't help the way he thinks anyway. The stress riser is still right at the last spot the arrow touches the insert. Unless the arrow bends at a 45ish degree angle, the chamfered end won't touch anything and will therefore for do nothing. I'm not sure who told him that would help.

    Can we talk about Ted Nugents Cape Buffalo hunt? Back in the early 80's I believe and damned if he wasn't armed with a heavy FOC setup as well. He mis-hit when the animal took a step as he released. The arrow was in the air long enough that a heart point-of-aim made for a diaphragm(or farther) point-of-impact at approximately 40 yds. The video is available on YT and a very exciting watch.

What if it turns, or you hit a limb, or the deer doesn’t come in broadside? This setup or one similar allows me more options, and a higher percentage of finding my deer because I’m not worried about “BONES” stopping my setup. Stop arguing Ford verses Chevy and just think about the data for a while and what options it can open for you as an archer and a lot less sleepless nights waiting till morning for buddies to show up to start looking for your deer.

    Even though the corners are champhered for compliance...for reducing shear stress, I would break every corner where a potential weak point may occur...with a radius. Put it in a disposable Al insert and chuck it up in a drill, and work it with a fine file. Maybe overkill, but who's to say, and onty takes a few seconds once chucked up.

  • @SuperToehead
    @SuperToehead 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Couple of questions. 1. Does the length of the insert inside thr shaft improve structural integrity versus a shorter internal insert? I use a glue in/glue on insert but it’s not very long inside the shaft. (Ac glue in/glue on adapters. I always cut my sleeves 2” which is about 1/2 or so beyond the back of the insert in the shaft. My worry with the short adapters was a hard angled hit and I blowing put sideways. However as you stated every time I break an arrow it’s right behind that sleeve. (Has not happened in an animal yet).
    2. Have you seen any breakage due to levering of he inert breaking out of the shaft on hard angle hits?
    I love the ace because they are really cheap, but I wonder about those angled impacts and if my longer sleeve is doing me more harm than good in that situation.

    Should you consider cutting the sleeve so that it ends over one of the thicker portions of the insert? That way it too is supported by the insert thickness inside the arrow shaft to help prevent possible breaking of the arrow shaft. Sort of like the insert bevel concept you make in the video . . .

    • @ryans9029
      @ryans9029 ปีที่แล้ว

      Shortening the sleeve was a bad move.
      It should go PAST the end of the insert. By design. The further back.. the more resistant to shearing it will be.
      By shortening, there is nothing stopping it from shearing directly behind the insert.

    • @Bartimusblue27
      @Bartimusblue27 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, you’ve just created a hard shear point on the exterior, which will cause a fracture. This is why the insert has a bevel on the factory end. After you cut it to length, you are supposed to sand the cut edge back to a smooth chamfer to allow for flex.

      The idea of filling a carbon with sand got bandied about on trad forums for a while, when we all knew heavy arrows were great but the data hadn't firmed up about FOC particularly, yet. Saw guys adding lengths of aircraft cable to the old pultruded carbons, too.
      I wouldn't do it, but I DO like drilling the pith out the front end of my bamboo arrows for the whole front 10" or so, and filling them up with homemade 3/16" hardwood dowels. Takes care of durability, impact strength, and FOC at the same time.
      Until all the good collars and long brass insets came out I wondered why people didn't add a carbon inside a carbon, or a dowel inside a carbon and use an out-sert.

  • @ryans9029

    Shortening the sleeve only hurt your cause. The point of the sleeve is two fold.
    1. Is to strengthen the shaft end from exploding and allowing the BH from splitting the shaft.
    2. Is to move the shear point further back down the shaft.... Past the insert edge.. (the part you tried about being be angled)
    That angled part wouldn't matter if the sleeve was left longer than the insert.. they are designed to be longer for this reason. AND the further back that sleeve goes, the more effective it will be.
    Shortening it retains the anti splitting up effect(mostly)
    But loses the anti-shearing behind the insert effect.

    • @RanchFairy
      @RanchFairy  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So - IN testing.
      When we have sleeves without an internal post or a very short internal post and longer sleeve as you describe. “Shear point back further”
      the SHAFT shears at the end of the sleeve. Same effect as 5 degree taper on wooden arrows.
      The only reason I added the sleeves was to keep the point from possibly pushing backward into the shaft on a hard impact.
      The Direct glue on insert system was already better than any screw in system.

    • @ryans9029
      @ryans9029 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@RanchFairy yes. I would expect the shearing to happen directly behind the sleeve. 👍 But, the force required to shear will be increased significantly. The arrow will always fail. But increasing the durability, and moving that shearing point rearward is generally considered a positive.

      Exactly. Considering the carbon, chamfer is the same as square edge, when the arrow wall meets the chamfer it’s already broken. Easton has taken this into account in their new titanium half-out that has rounded ball head. Even better Valkyrie uses longer shank and rubber o-ring with the rounded end to distribute the force even further. Considering they also make a glue in adaptor for centerpin system, that’s what I’d choose here.

    Great info Troy, However, I disagree with your idea of a shorter footing being better to decrease lateral break issue. The longer the rear lever (basically entire arrow behind footing) the greater chance for a lateral break. Look at an extreme situation where the footing is like 12" long. That makes the rear lever much shorter. Think about how difficult it would be to get a lateral force great enough to snap the shaft. Although I personally made the 2" footings your holding just as a common place to start with footing size (creates great strength with minimum, if any, stiffening affect), I personally shoot an 8" footing with smaller double footing to bridge the only possible weak point, (end of shaft and behind broadhead). Any potential break point is way up the shaft with short rear lever. This creates a crazy bone and bomb proof shaft at 910 grains, 33.?? % FOC, 300 TuffHead propelled from 70@31.5 Black Widow. i use that arrow for everything I hunt and it blows up everything I hit, stem to stern in quick fashion and in one piece for next victim.
