- This is what happens when you forget to put the limb stops back on your Gearhead Archery bow.
Today I'm testing the Gearhead T18. This thing is SWEET!
Want to learn more about saddle hunting? look no further than www.TethrdNatio...
AND FINALLY!!!!
You can find the exact products I use in my videos here:

Can’t imagine having a bow shop where the tech actually helps you tune the bow insane you’re lucky to have that shop
As soon as you said, "Forgot limb stops. Guess it's okay." I'm just screaming at my screen: IT'S NOT GONNA BE OKAY, GREG!!!!! 🤣
So scary.
When can I purchase a phantom
I would have tossed it flatly
On the ground and jumped simultaneously lol.
Thank you for your service! That is a sick looking bow. I don’t know how you kept your cool I would have lost it and probably dropped it!
As a former resident of the state of Georgia, I do not miss the summers, especially in Savanna! Really cool bow, hopefully your video will prevent other people from this terrifying predicament.
That will wake you up! Glad you had an old timer there to help you out on that one and didn't blow up your bow.
Been there.... Changed out the string/cables on a prime and had to remove the stops to press it. Went to the back yard to start shooting and realized it immediately upon hitting full draw. With no one around, I held the bow at full draw, walked back to the garage, opened the garage door back up with my release hand (thank goodness I shoot a wrist strap), and gingerly set it back down into the press. Bit of a stressful situation lol
You handled it better than I would have. I can feel the pea running down my leg just watching that. 😆
I bought my Vertix there last summer while on vacation in Hilton Head, great shop, great staff.
Roger that! Thanks for the heads up! I've gotta be at the Port of Savannah soon for a business opportunity. While traveling, I always look for archery ranges and now shops! Thanks Bro! Roger that!
I went ahead and gotten this bow winded up getting a back up bow a yr later this is a great compact equipment.
Had the Gearhead T24 for two years and I love it. As you say - it does not forgive bad form. Fully equipped with all hunting dampner its a whisperer in the woods.
This is the T18...its tiny!
@@G2Outdoors and even quieter I guess? Was your T18 in carbon fiber? I got the 1911 slider grip and it made it super easy to tune.
@@jimmyhinterlach9485 Yeah, mine is in carbon fiber. Can I still get the 1911 grip?
Absolutely. What I know you can get all their "Get a grip" on all of their bows. 👍
That is a first for me too see AND I am so glad it was you Greg! 😃😅😱
Tim here from NY. I’ve been to that shop ! My parents live in Pooler !
I just stumbled upon this video but this is the local shop that I go to. Shoutout to Wildcat!
Recently saw this bow online. I was wondering about them since I had never heard of them before. Interested to see more.
i bought a PSE at cabelas. i brought it him so excited my first brand new bow and pulled it back and this happened. took it back the guy did something to it..i watched him shoot it 5-6 times no problem. i took it home. got it out the next day after work set target up pulled back and same thing. then i returned and bought a used hoyt that's worked fine since..
"A little pucker factor right there" LOL ... I'd say so! Thank God you were at an archery shop! -Collin
I had a Gearhead T24 that the guys up here in Atlanta left the stops out too!!! For whatever reason I couldn’t get the bow to shoot heavy arrows worth a damn.. Went to multiple pro shops, finally just sent it back and went with an APA King Cobra.. The Gearhead customer service was top notch..
Heck yeah I love that shop they made me some really good strings every they knew everything I needed to know and then some great guys
I've seen a bow exploding after cam overturn - changed draw lengh on the modules but not on limb stopper, so it went past the spot and after the shot string went limp for a second like on this bow but after that bow just exploded suddenly. No permanent damage to the bow but string needed to be replaced. After replacing the string and setting bow correctly it was shooting fine.
Hahahha😂 I’m with you chuck it like a grenade and run
I was 3-17 Cav at Hunter Army Airfield.
I got my bow set up at wildcat archery too and I love them
Never put your finger near those loaded cams like that. You will lose a finger!!
seems like this shop is questionable handling it like that lol
Had this happen on my elite at the shop...but they werent sure what to do next. Lol. Eventually figured it out though. Definitely scary at the moment.
Full pucker moment.
Ar you kidding me! After that "lock up", caused by inexperienced staff, no way I would go back there. You are damn lucky!
I'm glad I did it at the shop! I would have freaked out even more if I was on my own. This shop is awesome. Just a simple mistake.
OMG! I had the same thing happen with my recurve yesterday!!
LOL never had that with my recurve but have had my sights off.
🤔😆😆😆
I had something similar happen to me one night bow fishing with my Oneida it is for sure a scary feeling when the limbs are locked back and the string is locked back.
I did the exact same thing to my Athens R34 yesterday! We locked it up tighter than Dicks Hat band!😂
Not fun.
@@G2Outdoors no, freaked me out!
I don’t know what’s cooler, that sick short ATA bow or the assassin hoodie you’re rocking. When will we be seeing that hoodie in the SH shop? I want one dude!
I pulled the trigger on mine and it came off the cams. Had the stops in, come to find out I wasn’t keeping it tight to the back wall. Slightly moving my elbow and bam! Nothing broke
HOLY WOW!!! That was crazy.
My pse ferocity likes to do that same thing. It is kinda scary at first but you get used to it 😅
That bow is the prison shank of the whitetail world....close range and drop it in.....I like being able to shoot out to 40 yards...so no way would I handicap myself with a weird bow that makes it harder on me.
G2 Outdoors,
you pulling your bow wrong !!
That was crazy!
I was stationed at Hunter Army Airfield back in the mid 90s lots of Awesome Bass fishing and good deer & hog hunting in the area .
Hey what's the FPS on that T-18 @ 70lbs ? What is your arrow weight ?
I'll get back to you on this with a full review.
@@G2Outdoors
Thanks man , that little bow would be much more maneuverable in a tree saddle 👍
On another note , when is Tethered gonna start offering the Phantom ? I thought it was February?
Have you tried shooting an 1/2" steel ball yet? Would love to see some videos of that. 🏹🤠👍
That looked like a magic trick.
hey greg, can you do a build series? testing is cool but I would love to see the peep sight get setup the rest and the sight all getting setup.
Absolutely. I'll do one.
I was sent a T18 by gearhead as well. Can you make a video when you have it fully setup?
I live in Brunswick!!! I know what you mean with the heat!!!
Looks like it’s kicking up on release, might wana put a front stabilizer to make it feel more awesome on shot
Yeah I agree.
I about pooped myself when that bow went limp!
You and me both.
I’ve had this Happen to me. After shooting 3d for a few hours cams just froze in full draw. I just Held it away from my face let it explode in my hand (twss) , I was alone & hooking my release back up never even occurred to me... manufacturer sent out new limbs and cams no questions asked. Was kinda of scary like it happens a lot.
Rock of the Marne!
Mini crossbow in the works 🤣
Idk why that's so new when liberty archery did basicly the same thing like 20 years ago
Do you plan on a follow up video? I want one of these bad!
3:00 see how much flinch an hand torque!
That was CRAZY!! 😳
Please give a follow up video to this I’d like to see your feeling on the bow after shooting it for a while!
Love the concept but the string angle on that thing seems so harsh
It is. I think for a 30 yard treestand bow...it's gonna be MONEY.
How is this bow in a saddle vs a normal bow? Say around 28inch
Forgot the limb stops. Damn.
All I used from my saddle last yr
You need to do those limb stops up on both sides
Are you still shooting Gearhead archery?
That thing is surprisingly quiet!? I would have thought it would have been loud??? What kind of speed are you getting???
Need a stabilizer on that. might stop the way it kick upwarss
I guess limb stops ARE, in fact, important. That looked bizarre. What is odd is that the bow kicks upward after release.
How do you hunt with that? That click it makes when you let it fly, isn’t that gonna be an issue when you hunt?
Did you chrono any arrows? If so, what kind of speed did you get?
Is it possible for you to not aim at the sky while pulling back? And how is the D loop not pinching that knock?
how accurate can this small bow be?
How far back was that paper tune??
Cool looking bow , but it looks super slow ?
Same thing happened to me SCARY!!!
Not legal for hunting in Montana, and no let-off over 80%.
Why is this not legal in MT? The let off statement is correct, but not sure why this bow would not be legal with the proper let off
Sam Helmer minimum axel to axel is 28 inches.
Exciting
This happened to me with an Elite. Learn once to remember those stops! Lol
What kind is speed are you getting? Might just be me, but it seems to be leaning on the slower side
Compared to regular compounds they do run slower... Mostly because the power stroke is much shorter.. Im just whipping theoretical memory numbers here but the 18"ata only draws to like 25" or so and you need a purpose designed release to use it(its longer infront of the trigger) add to that a longer brace height and you just dont get the same velocity... Shooting in thick cover, or a small blind though, its right in its element.. They do make longer ata ones that are faster though
I didn’t even know that was possible
dang, forgettin screws suuuuucks
Nice little bow mate but I don't know why I just hate to see bows drawn like that straight up at the ceiling.......
U gonna hunt with the gear head this year ?
Definitely. I took it in a few hints last season but never loosed an arrow.
I think that guy left there and went to work for Boeing.
i had one , it exploded in my hands after about i doz. arrows
What kind of case are you using for the T18 I just got mine and my old plano case will not fit it.
I haven't put it in a case come to think of it. I need to figure that out.
Do you like the T18? Mine is awesome.
So far it is shooting up to standards as I expected it to, my only gripe is the case situation, I hunt on a military base with my father and to be considered legal you must have a "lockable" case, they were ok with my dads old zipper bag so I've been considering the actual gearhead bag they sell
@@giobowers2398 good to hear. I hunt military base too.
@@G2Outdoorsnice, I figured you may have when I watched your video, just let me know if you end up getting a good bag/case I was looking into maybe a pelican case and cut out the foam but they are quite expensive
Would have put it in the dumpster, closed lid and ran, called bomb squad.
He really forgot the stops..... I'd never go back to that shop
Dunno how many times i seen guys purposely set their drawstops wrong to get more let off.. .. Flirting with disaster... Now its standard equipment...
Bro where’s the videos!
Tech doesn't put stops back in. Also tech.... That's why you bring it to a pro shop !
Yeah, he made a mistake. I've made mistakes before too. He'd never worked on a bow like that so it was a weird scenario.
Yikes!
Definitely
Stopped the video when you said “oh we didn’t put those limb stopa back in, I guess it doesn’t matter”… Do you not handle bows enough to know that YOUR CAMS WILL OVER ROTATE AND LOCK UP???? 🤣
Whooooaaaaa.
I think I wouldn't wear a hoodie if it was that hot...just saying. 🤔
Bruh... wildcat is where I go.. small world
😯yikes
This comment is for the new saddle “phantom”. When where how can I get a couple of those saddles
Rick Huff end of February Rick
john KASTNER Thanks
I would never buy a bow that did that !!! 😬😬😬
Any compound with a sliding draw stop can do it. I've had 2 top 5 brands do it before i realized what caused it.. Not the bow but the operator
Uh probly not the ideal time to start passing out advise after you forget something.. won’t be at wildcat archery anytime soon sorry bro.
I don't get it. dude complains about the heat and still wears a hooded sweatshirt. no one wears a hooded sweatshirt down here unless its the week of cold weather we have every year
I'll stick with my 20 year old pse
😳
Nope that bow is no good. That bow is slow. The way they have that handle everytime you shot that bow kicked upwards.
Over bowed
This pro shop forgot to put limb stops back in and paper turns to far away find a new shop
Bro
Its a rip off of liberty 1 by liberty archery
