bow of choice Prime Nexus 2 80lbs Draw length is 28.5 inches shooting the Sirius Vulcan 200 spine arrows at 32 inches carbon to carbon length arrow weight is at 557.5 grains before I drop a 125 grain field point in jumping up to 682 grains the foc on the arrow as it sits is 17 percent .
There's a Fletcher called BPE that has a straight offset clamp and a helica clamp and I find it quite effective for helica flutching it's an excellent Fletcher with many options
What a fantastic gift 🎁 for a great guy that has helped you a ton at Elk Shape camps and with the Elk Collective Online Course. Light and fast with plenty of FOC. Didn’t mention the broadhead of choice but that is up to Dirk. I have a fletching jig but I don’t believe that it does much of a helical. Should have checked before ordering off GoHunt. Thought about going Single bevel, but to keep cost down I probably will just stick with my 100 grain G5 Montec CS and M3s.
Victory arrows are absolute beasts. I had one ping off the post of a chain link fence and stick in a tree and it’s still going strong. The stainless field tip was bent, but the shaft is still 100 percent. I shoot Scheels Vendetta and Vendetta Pro in 300 and 350. The one that went off the post was a 350. (They’re made by Victory). Even had a couple bounce off rocks from misses and not a single splinter.
Dan, you should do a quick rundown of all of the tools you’re using to build bullets. You have somewhat done this in the past, but a guy updates his gear. Saw, glue, inserts, nocks etc. be a good vid for everyone to Have all the arrow building gear in a one stop video.
I can see some MFJJ arrow wraps and vanes coming soon. That would be cool to shoot at TAC this year. If you have any ideas of building some let me know first. I'll be the first to order those. MFJJ seems like a solid dude and it's refreshing to watch somebody going the opposite way of some other TH-cam personalities. Heavier arrows are not all that they are cracked up to be. They have their place I'm sure, just not in my quiver. Nothing over 430 grains for me. I like my high foc and the smaller gaps in my sight tapes. Keep up the great content gentleman and wish you all the best in this upcoming season.
I would like to know what fletching jig was used for the helical it put on the arrow you built and a question, how does that much helical affect the drag or energy of the arrow.
This was cool to watch. In the future, do you think you'd be able to go more in depth about what all these different specs mean, how they effect the shot, and what to consider when putting arrows together for ourselves? Bit of a novice here, but I'm loving all these videos!
Take a bareshaft, make a mark with a sharpie, take a shot at a close by target (less than 8’) and see what direction your arrow spin. Than fletch left if your arrows spin left😁
Almost every string builder makes clockwise twisted strings, which seems to consistently rotate left. First String and a few others twist counter clockwise and their strings seem to all clock right. That said, it really doesn't matter, your fletching will take over in a few feet of the bow anyway.
Good day. Just wondering what the setup is?? I’m looking at these arrows to build a fast good Foc arrow just not sure what spine I need I shoot a Mathews v3 31 75# mods 28.5” draw and I have plenty of 100 gr broadheads so not keen on getting different broadheads. TIA. Love the channel
I've been adding MF to the beginning of peeps names for years. A classic old school way to ramp up the exploits of those you love and can't do without. MFJJ! Wazzuupp?!?!? Side note. When fetching arrows for a newb I call it the "penis" vane. The looks I get are priceless. Cheers, crew.
@@2ndAveScents you bareshaft with a field point. It will fly very similar to how an arrow with a fixed blade broadhead. If you can get a bareshaft to fly right, you should be able to get ANY fixed blade broadhead to follow suit.
I used the Ranch Fairy method, after tuning my bow through paper in my local shop to get it square. My bow is a Bowtech Rpm 360, 29” Draw, 70#’s. I’m running a 100 grain insert, 150 grain point, 4 fletch helical Rayzr Feathers, 6” wrap and deepower lighted nock on a Day Six 300 cut at 28 3/4. 625 grain overall weight. The arrow is bareshafted and nock tuned to 20 yards. I’ve also shot a 150 grain Iron Will Wide Solid and a 190 grain Simmons Treeshark (2 1/16” wide 2 blade fixed head) out to 30. Both group with field points. Basically, if your bow is square and your form is correct, you can tune your bow/arrow setup to shoot any Broadhead to fly with field points. Weight matters, so tinker until you get your sweet spot. Your results will show how particular you were in the tuning process.
And to answer your question, “need” is a matter of perspective. Do you “need” it on a calm day, inside shooting spots, or outdoors in an open range? Probably not. Do you need it when your form is crappy because of buck fever, and the wind is heavy, the angle is odd? You can never have too many plan b type safety nets that help your arrow recover in case of something going wrong.
540 grain xImpact black eagle 31 inch draw and arrow, 4 flech heat vanes 3 per helical. I wouldn't go below 460 grain unless I was hunting Jack rabbits. People kill elk with light arrows but they are way above average shooters. Normal hunters should stay on the heavy side, I've seen to many wounded animals otherwise. The bugler is a hoot.
I shoot extortions. So strong they are rediculous. Pretty heavy though but i shoot 580grain. Im shooting v3 31 at 31 and 75pnd. Most of my shots are under 40.
That spine mark is NOT accurate! They apparently just randomly throw that mark on there. If you spine test or knock tune em you will see that line is a lie. Anyway, that's splitting hairs...go on😁
What's your arrow choice for 2021 Elk SZN?! We've got some major arrow tinks in the hopper. . . Also Bear SZN episode 2, coming in hot Monday
Been tinkering with some Black Eagle Deep Impacts & VAP TKO’s

Mfjj, no, he’s getting 2 fire orange and 1 white!
Hahaha

He shot a good bull to! That’s awesome.
Great video guys. I think I've learned more about making arrows from you guys than any other channel. Hope it pays off come September.

I caught this too lol hell with it, let her wobble
Lol I thought that as well. I started laughing.
Shhhh. Lol

I knew I could trust MFJJ right from when I saw he was rocking a Samsung.
lol
Lmfao! " Bo beep boop"
Samsung software is ass though
Can you remove the inserts after glue in with CA?

What flecting jig are you using for the mega heli coil?
My ABA string clocks right just like you mentioned. Great video guys.
Mine clocks left
I have been loving my RIP TKO's in 300 Spine and they are tough as hell.

What jig are you using I didn't catch the name of it ?
Arizona EZ fletch jig
Where is your guy's store located?
Been using rip tko with iron will inserts and collars but they are expensive. How does the ss shock you used in this build hold up?
What CA glue is being used?
So if my arrow is coming out and spinning to the left do I get a left fletch? As of now I use a wicker Biscuit
I just ordered that jig from you and yep lot more helical than my bohning jig
Mfjj your bday is the day before mine! Happy late bday bro.
I have a Mathews v3 shooting 3 blade broadheads. Which way would you recommend I fletch? Left, right, straight?
Take a bareshaft, make a mark with a sharpie, take a shot at a close by target (less than 8’) and see what direction your arrow spin. Than fletch left if your arrows spin left😁

Should everyone be using lighted nocks at this point? Is it worth it for non-hunting scenarios to watch flight of arrow?
What’s the name of that shop. Need some arrows made first time elk hunting this upcoming season
SPOKANE valley archery
What glues are you using? That big bottle looks way easier to deal with when using the fletching jig.
What degree helical does Josh run?
1.5°, 2° .. 3° ?
Thanks from 🇨🇦
Good day.
Just wondering what the setup is??
I’m looking at these arrows to build a fast good Foc arrow just not sure what spine I need
I shoot a Mathews v3 31 75# mods 28.5” draw and I have plenty of 100 gr broadheads so not keen on getting different broadheads.
TIA.
Love the channel
Vap tko arrows are the best I've found
What degree helical is that jig
So if looking at the bow upright, the string twist running down from left to right would be best with left helical correct?
You can shoot pare shaft at like 2 feet and see which way your arrow spins.
Do you guys think the victory XV Arrows are tough enough for elk hunting? I’ve heard mixed feedback.
Me personally... Not my first choice... MFJJ would probably tell ya yes though haha! -Dan
What was the point weight on the arrow?
Can you put up a component list for this build???

Would you put that much helical on a 3d (50yd max) and indoor arrow?
YES - we should those arrows out deep downtown. TC
Dude, wear a mask when cutting and sanding carbon. 🙈 Great content, only just noticed my Victory VAP SS have a spine alignment mark 😆👍
If your bow is tuned and your bareshafting out to 20 yds or further, is there really a need for that much steering ?
Are you bareshafting with broad heads or field points? You shoot mechanical or fixed?
@@2ndAveScents You should never bare shaft tune with broadheads.

What spine you shooting?
@@jonathanbowser7343 250 spine
Put vap tko through a saw blade and the arrow was fine 300 spine 50 grain outer 125 point with 16% FOC

Proof?… JW
True, sometimes it's not even close
This is correct
Isn't the cock vane supposed to go opposite that line? If you buy them with vanes that's how they come.
I was legit scrolling to see if anyone else was thinking this same thing !
you have the same birthday as Eddie Bravo..
What jig is that?
Mfjj you said one fire orange and two white as you put two orange and one white in the jig 😂
He wanted 2 white 1 orange lol ooops
Love it all but damn those Arizona EZ fletchers,,,,,lol We can do better.
Yeah, that "spine align" is full of s***
