Mr. Fowler definitely has to much fun charading the struggles of a yankee hunt. It was 20 degrees leaving the stand today and the other day I had anatomical retraction in my lower half after setting up a tree stand in the forty degree rain.

I cannot imagine why some people would be so idiotic as to get all pissy because a guy makes money off his passion and his name... Like, what would be the argument that would cause someone to get pissed off because he's making some money??? Lol I mean, after all, he's the one taking his time to make videos. Putting in the legwork and the research, then happily sharing info with the archery world. Editing, material costs, camera equipment, burning through arrows and consumables, time away from other things he could be doing to make money, bow wear and tear, with gas and traveling - ALLLL costs money... But, even if it didn't cost money, who in the hell is gonna down another man because he's working toward getting ahead in life!? Hell, I'm excited for him to finally begin being able to start seeing returns on his hard work and effort! 💪🏽

Although I have had reasonable success with other setups I have become a convert to the heavy arrow high front-of- center heavy broadhead concept. Thank you Mr. Ranch Fairy!
Been watching your vids since the THP podcast. Last year I shot a super light weight arrow with a expandable, hit one in the stomach and still didn’t get a pass through. Adopted your arrow set up and it sure worked! G5 Montec 100g with 150g inserts on a 30 in arrow, about 515 or 530 grains I don’t remember. Plus a really good arrow flight and we were able to get it done! Last night shot a 8 pt at 40 yds with my bow shooting 60 lbs at 28 in and it entered in the last few ribs, broke a rib, continued through liver and heart, exited the chest cavity, and then continued to score and almost crack his offside shoulder before he cracked the arrow in half. He made it another 30 yds and piled up, never saw that much trauma on a deer shoulder with a bow. I actually thought he had been hit with a car or already shot or something when I pulled the fur down. Then I realized it was my arrow doing that! Thanks so much for the help of figuring out this setup it seems like it’s pretty good😂 Great vids and again thank you!
I was shooting my test kit in my barn. 250 spine, 200 grain point, 100 grain insert. Goes through my bag target, through the metal siding of my barn and sticks into my garden box on the back side of my barn. I was like “GOD DAMN!” Those 600+ grain arrows are like a locomotive.
I switched over to adult arrows 🏹 this year with a 2 blade 175 grain VPA up front hand sharpened . Yesterday I shot a buck at 33 yards from the ground and passed completely through and the deer really didn't know what happened and barely ran anywhere. I shot a piebald doe a week ago and same thing, she literally didn't make it 15 yards.
I get his system and it sounds great. High FOC and increased weight with a solid cut on contact broadhead, but my issue is 99% of the shooting I do is at targets or 3D. And I shoot a 400 grain as well as some 380 grain arrows without any issue. Couldn't be more accurate and fly like darts. I guess I just like shooting fast and flatter trajectories. I don't think I could be happy with only shooting 140 fps with such heavy loads as Ranch Fairy does. I still get buckets of penetration at my bow club targets (10 inches) and have to pull them out with two hands. I can't imagine more.. He wrote me and claimed I'd be even more accurate with heavier arrows, but that slow of speeds? I might as well shoot my recurve then..
There is a case to be made for blood trails with larger game but my theory is the same -- heavy 2 blade arrow, try and get a pass through. The deer doesn't freak out because something is stuck in it and it doesn't hurt that much. I had a buck jump on me (terrible timing, was going after a doe) with my longbow and I got a pass through but missed the lungs. He ran downhill, and came back not 2 minutes later to go after the doe again. Quickly lost consciousness, bedded down, and died. It's like it didn't even care that it was shot.
@@RohannvanRensburg so far that's been my experience, they really don't realize what happened because it's so sharp . It doesn't create any shock so they run a couple yards and stop to look around, then fall over.
@@RohannvanRensburg Often they don't know what has just happened. I hear an arrow wound feels like a bee sting if it passes right thru. I shot a sitka blacktail (our deer species on the west coast) and my 400 grain totally passed thru, smashing thru shoulder blade an all.. I heard the snap. The deer went back to eating because it didn't know what had happened. Didn't even run 10 yrds..
@@Skelstoolbox and then you touch up the edge a little bit and put them back in the quiver. The VPA's I have are incredibly well built , not a bit of damage with either deer and fly like a field point.
Hey thanks to your guidance and the heavy double bevel i just took my first doe with a recurve! The arrow zipped right through and all the way into the ground.... the deer walked away like i completely missed, laid down, then died... surreal!
Awesome vid like always!! Especially the 200gr and up club mention.. As soon as I made the switch, I’ve never looked back.. 750gr all in Grizzlystiks with 200gr heads 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I couldn't believe how big of a difference it made when I knock tuned my arrows. Such a big help. I love 4 fletching but I have a hard time fletching them. Awesome video
@@liamboyle9199 it's just faster to do a 3 fletch. Just a dumb coincidence that the last vane or feather messes up. And if I run a wrap and cut a vane up I have to replace 4 instead of 3 lol.. just dumb shit. I'm good at fletching. I can make a arrow fly damn good
HEY RF, I am a believer. Built the new arrows; ended up at ~ 510 grains tw, 150 grain Cutthroat; just under 19 FOC. Shot an 11 Point whitetail last Friday: was fortunate with the shot so I didn't need Plan B. He ran less than 40 yards, stopped, did a couple of circles and left a blood trail a colorblind man could follow. Thanks for the videos!
Numbering and nock tuning your arrows is so worth the effort. It can show you if you actually have an arrow that's a bad kid, or if wait for it...human error. #4 is always a bad kid for some reason, twist that baby until it starts dropping in there. Great content as usual.
Hey Fowler!!! Love the shared knowledge man ur the best hats off to you, I grew up threw the 80’s and 90’s watching my dad do everything you preach and it always worked of course then it was aluminum shafts and more money to have our local shop here in Indiana do feather vanes, but like the change of the hunting world I changed to a Twizzler and a flapper recovered a few but lost more I made the change talked to Sirius got the correct 250 spine now going to order me some all white 4 fletch RF special
Dang straight you should make a buck or two for all the hard work! Next up tiny ass veins in a 6 pattern, the most cable clearance 😁 keep up the great work!
I've noticed over the last couple years that these Ranch Fairy videos seem to rack up the "likes" and comments a whole lot faster than they used to. Think the word is out there and running rampant! Keep 'em comin' Mr. Fairy!
For me, sitting in a tree stand in sub freezing weather for a few hours without moving much, adds about 10lbs pull on the bow. So yep...everything needs to be working good.
Glad I came to this video. I've started shooting 4 fletch out of my long bow and I've been actually loving it. Makes me wonder why I haven't done it with my compound yet.
I shoot 200 grain broadheads. Have for the last 4 or 5 years now. The hardest part is shooting a target that can stop them before the fletchings disappear.
@@RanchFairy I just happened to see your name getting tossed around in a comment section. I recently had a large back and forth problem with a bow shop tuning my bow off center, shot great before I took it to them to put a new rest on, first two arrows I shot @ 20 yards missed the target by 3 feet, I argued that it made no sense for my arrow not be center down my limb bolts. I still don't really like it. So from what I've heard you say, it does in deed need to be centered. I've also seen where guys adjust their sight after paper tuning then sight the pins in... Any guidance is well appreciated.
Thank you for the entertainment :) Love the show!!! I hope that Covid will retire so I can come over to the US to try out my ADULT arrows! We can't bow hunt in Sweden (it's really stupid, I know).
Thats so funny you mentioned cutting the strings off your Hoodie. I've always done the same since I was in high school almost 30yrs ago. But my girlfriend says I'm nuts for doing it incase I ever need it. I always say no one ever uses that string. Plus it comes out in the dryer half the time anyways. Lol 😆
Come on Troy. Form and shot control ARE SUPER important. Just jerking back on the string and hammering that that trigger isn’t conducive in checking arrow flight. Going to all the effort to flight tune each arrow is also very important. These two things go hand in hand for a finished great result.
Agree - it is both! But if the arrows aren’t consistent - the whole set. Every Single One Then you’ll never be able to “out form” the random launching sticks. I’m hardly a great form guy! But when I tune my arrows to all be very consistent - it makes me amazing!
You got it Troy 😎 After setting up most of both Ed and my Arrows fir his study here in Aus (Pest discovered he had a very willing slave and could just teach/instruct lol) 4 Fletch just took out all the hassle. We had mulriple points, broadheads and, shafts from POC to Purple Heart set for bows from 35lb to 100lbs and of course there were the Aluminums, Carbons, Alaskan range, and some weird experiments Ed set up because "someone' would ask "But Ed, what if....?" (**NEVER ask the Doc a question if you're not prepared to travel down that side trail 😂😂), How many arrows? Well, I've still 25 doz made for my bows and I sent Ed's over to him with rest of his gear when he couldn't return😪. Rounding off: I found 4 fletch meant 1. Could use ANY broardhead on any shaft. 2. Didn't have to look at the arrow when I'm following up so I can keep eyes on my pig or buffalo (I'm not into pain - I'm a GIRL) 3. Gave me more confidence in the arrow flight. All I had to do was aim, nock and release😎 4. They also drive people bananas when you use the hunting Arras (with Points of course) in a Comp because you ran our of time to make your pretty, lightweight arras😇) *shoot just fine - even when they're so slow you can run beside them😂 I only have trad bows now but at the time I shot these plus my Compound and a few Crossbows. I've misplaced my notebooks on my personal setups bur Ed has all that in his study anyway, but same arrows were set to shoot off all the bows regardless if it were myself, Ed or Friends who just wanted to help 👍 KISS Treatment
Sorry to hijack, because I really appreciate the info, but there is a way to completely waterproof feathers that us trad "off the shelf" guys have uzed for a while. Black Magic Tire Wet Shine. Spray it on until soaked, let the feathers dry in the sun, do this twice. I can swish feathers in a bucket of water after this treatment and it beads off.
ha! my wife used to grab the hoodie strings when I got mouthy with her. now she can't catch me! awesome! thanks for sharing your practical knowledge with us Troy!
Thats an interesting concept, i might have to fletch an arrow up in the Jojan and try a four fletch. I think I really enjoy being the odd guy. Keeps people scratching their heads.
Wish ya had more content! Ill be checking out the 4 fletch im thinking. I must invest in a new bow next year...probably something a touch longer. Short axle to axle IMO doesn't work well with heavy arrows. My excuse to tell the wife to buy something new
Ps I forgive you using Vanes (cause I know you'd be heartbroken NOT) 😂 Actually some of my arrows have those but I discovered a new hobby when making arrows. I enjoy cutting my own feathers in various shapes🙄 "Officially" my reason given to Ed was to see if they made more or less sound. Truth - it's FUN. If I could play around cutting Vanes I'd totally do that too😎
Totally on board with capitalism here. Glad you can make some coin preparing people for "Plan B". Excellent explanation about what occurs when broadhead weight increases - more metal to manage the shock of impact. Thank you for the great content and insight.
😂😂 “smoke three cigarettes with your fat friends wind is blowing and your wiggly” 😂 I love it! I shoot the old flapper release to! And I love my flapper release. Why wouldn’t you want a trigger like a gun?!
I've used four vanes over the years several times and I honestly believe they will stabilize flight and it seems to help in a slightly longer flatter trajectory? With my home tests I got hits at 30 yards consistently 2-3" higher hen using identical arrows except 3 and 4 vane. IMO it's not worth the trouble for shots under thirty. Especially at 15-18 yards like Troy likes. Don't even need vanes at that distance.
Then make the hoodies with out the string. The alteration will have a negative effect on the process causing it to be less profitable. Then you can charge more money for your products and more gas money in the can.
I like how he made fun of rage and calls them collapsible, I have been shoot rage for years and I have never had one explode or not expand. Matter of facts I shoot 2 doe this year one through the shoulder and one in the spine and both expanded and both still have an edge to the
Hey ranch fairy, your stepper motor in the lens on that camera is messed up. I dealt with this same thing for a long time on a brand new lens. As always you put out Lots of good info for anyone who likes to shoot. Thanks for all your hard work. I’ve been shooting for quite along time and I wish 10 years ago I would have had access to all this info.
Picked up 6 of the RF arrows. These jokers are heavy! Should get great penetration with them. Was a little disgruntled that the weight variance in the 6 that I got was so wide, but, we'll see what they do when its time to perform. Keep the videos coming RF.
@@RanchFairy weights ranged from 469 grains to 482 grains. Have 1= 469, 1= 479, 2 = 480, 1 = 481, and 1 = 482. I like to group my arrows in 3s by weight. I would prefer a variance of .1 to 1 grains...but that's just me.
OK. Ima Explain It further. Moving parts Wear. Every Shot. They Loosen. That's the Wear Factor/Derivative. You stuff is loose and wearing. That's where the Limit Equation comes in. How many shots before Your Nock Fly's Off?
I love shooting feathers over vanes they are more forgiving and have shot four fletch even in rain I have found th that if you spray the feathers with camp dry they hold up very well in wet weather unless your in a hurricane then you should not even be out. I am wondering how well the tape around the base of the knocks works ? I have not tried that trick yet. Pleas let me know btw great channel keep up the good work.
Troy, check out the zinger fletches, I'd like to see your response. For FOC, they are great because they weigh like hakf as much as vanes. Great for tuning to because they are removable
Please, for the love of.... whatever, wax the strings on your Kure. I'm sure that wild hog fat can work in a pinch. Love your content and your "this is who I am" attitude - AWESOME! And yes my broadheads are sharp, my FOC is above 18% and my arrows are pushing 600g
"They're not an expandable, they're a collapsible." lmao

4. They also drive people bananas when you use the hunting Arras (with Points of course) in a Comp because you ran our of time to make your pretty, lightweight arras😇)
*shoot just fine - even when they're so slow you can run beside them😂
I only have trad bows now but at the time I shot these plus my Compound and a few Crossbows. I've misplaced my notebooks on my personal setups bur Ed has all that in his study anyway, but same arrows were set to shoot off all the bows regardless if it were myself, Ed or Friends who just wanted to help 👍
KISS Treatment
We have Ed’s containers full of amazing stuff here in Texas! It’s like a museum!!!
Man if you find notebooks- holler at me
I love this one!! The ArcheryTalk "Pro Shooter Perfect Form Gods" just crapped their pants!! LOL
I’ve never achieved perfect at anything
So make the system more bomb proof !!!
Great info
Man all I got to say is I'm learning a ton and I think I need to come back to Texas and go pig hunting.
Sorry to hijack, because I really appreciate the info, but there is a way to completely waterproof feathers that us trad "off the shelf" guys have uzed for a while.
Black Magic Tire Wet Shine. Spray it on until soaked, let the feathers dry in the sun, do this twice. I can swish feathers in a bucket of water after this treatment and it beads off.
Yes
I'm running 4 fletch helical using Blazers on adult arrows (633 gr) and 23% FOC. The bare shafts were great and they fly amazingly with the 4 fletch
Oh yeah, 250 gr Aboyer Brown Bears. Looking forward to a proper 4 legged field test
ha! my wife used to grab the hoodie strings when I got mouthy with her. now she can't catch me! awesome! thanks for sharing your practical knowledge with us Troy!

@@michiganwoodsman2199 if you’re the last archer nothing will get killed
I want to see some deer hunts with you and the hunting public guys, wpuld be awsome.
Thats an interesting concept, i might have to fletch an arrow up in the Jojan and try a four fletch. I think I really enjoy being the odd guy. Keeps people scratching their heads.
Troy is absolutely hilarious...and he gives great advice, too! haha
This is perfect for a dude like me. I can’t wait to order me a set up. I think they are a good price too!
Keep up the great work!
I switched to 4 fletch 1.5months ago. NO worry nocking,bigger stability flight.
4 blazer and vanetec swift
"fat friends" lol, you kill me man. Great video! will be checking out the arrows soon.
Jimmy Ryser getting a little heavy with the outro music! Like it! 4 fletch'n baby~
PREACH FAIRY! PREACH!
Wasn't sure bout this dude but damn he is fucking funny and knowledgeable. Subbing now
Wish ya had more content! Ill be checking out the 4 fletch im thinking. I must invest in a new bow next year...probably something a touch longer. Short axle to axle IMO doesn't work well with heavy arrows. My excuse to tell the wife to buy something new
Now that was worth the watch
Nice elite sir 🔥
Ps I forgive you using Vanes (cause I know you'd be heartbroken NOT) 😂
Actually some of my arrows have those but I discovered a new hobby when making arrows. I enjoy cutting my own feathers in various shapes🙄
"Officially" my reason given to Ed was to see if they made more or less sound. Truth - it's FUN.
If I could play around cutting Vanes I'd totally do that too😎
Durnit. Just bought 250 spine arrow shafts. Haha. Oh well, ill have to put in some effort.
Every “surprise release” I have ever had has ended up....... well....... not what anyone wanted.
Totally on board with capitalism here. Glad you can make some coin preparing people for "Plan B". Excellent explanation about what occurs when broadhead weight increases - more metal to manage the shock of impact. Thank you for the great content and insight.
Keep kickin ass and takin names RF
😂😂 “smoke three cigarettes with your fat friends wind is blowing and your wiggly” 😂 I love it! I shoot the old flapper release to! And I love my flapper release. Why wouldn’t you want a trigger like a gun?!
I've used four vanes over the years several times and I honestly believe they will stabilize flight and it seems to help in a slightly longer flatter trajectory? With my home tests I got hits at 30 yards consistently 2-3" higher hen using identical arrows except 3 and 4 vane. IMO it's not worth the trouble for shots under thirty. Especially at 15-18 yards like Troy likes. Don't even need vanes at that distance.
Then make the hoodies with out the string. The alteration will have a negative effect on the process causing it to be less profitable. Then you can charge more money for your products and more gas money in the can.
I like how he made fun of rage and calls them collapsible, I have been shoot rage for years and I have never had one explode or not expand. Matter of facts I shoot 2 doe this year one through the shoulder and one in the spine and both expanded and both still have an edge to the
I love u mr. Ranch fairy. Let's put on some purple speedo's and bark at the moon
Would three be a crowd? 😍
@@jacksteele13 yes but u can come over and swap out all the rubber bands on all my flappers for me
I like the video with the exception of the laugh lol.
Another great and funny K.I.S.S. video. Thank you.
Mine were shipped out yesterday 🤠
Hey ranch fairy, your stepper motor in the lens on that camera is messed up. I dealt with this same thing for a long time on a brand new lens.
As always you put out Lots of good info for anyone who likes to shoot. Thanks for all your hard work. I’ve been shooting for quite along time and I wish 10 years ago I would have had access to all this info.
I will look that up!!!! Thanks
Picked up 6 of the RF arrows. These jokers are heavy! Should get great penetration with them. Was a little disgruntled that the weight variance in the 6 that I got was so wide, but, we'll see what they do when its time to perform. Keep the videos coming RF.
What was the variance
And what were you looking for a in variance?
I’m super interested in that to make sure we put out quality arrows
@@RanchFairy weights ranged from 469 grains to 482 grains. Have 1= 469, 1= 479, 2 = 480, 1 = 481, and 1 = 482. I like to group my arrows in 3s by weight. I would prefer a variance of .1 to 1 grains...but that's just me.
RF, can you post the link of where to order?? Want to pick up another 1/2 dozen... want to get the Batman version this time.

@@RanchFairy Thanks Troy
Great sound, dude!!
I love this guy he cracks me up. I get a kick out of watching some guys shooting too. Just wondering what the hell there doing.
Them Floating Loose Nocks come into Play when You Build Arrows, too
OK. Ima Explain It further. Moving parts Wear. Every Shot. They Loosen. That's the Wear Factor/Derivative. You stuff is loose and
wearing. That's where the Limit Equation comes in. How many shots before Your Nock Fly's Off?
Hey share the wealth brother , it was32 degrees yesterday for me, starting to heat up in Iowa the woods not the temp lol
I love shooting feathers over vanes they are more forgiving and have shot four fletch even in rain I have found th that if you spray the feathers with camp dry they hold up very well in wet weather unless your in a hurricane then you should not even be out. I am wondering how well the tape around the base of the knocks works ? I have not tried that trick yet. Pleas let me know btw great channel keep up the good work.
Just ordered the Sirius kit to figure out what works on the new Bow
Heck yeah
And then ranch fairy arrows are a great option afterward!!
@@RanchFairy yes sir! I'll be using the easy button once we get it tuned in. Trying to convert everyone I know to heavy arrows and high FOC!
Troy, check out the zinger fletches, I'd like to see your response. For FOC, they are great because they weigh like hakf as much as vanes. Great for tuning to because they are removable
Please, for the love of.... whatever, wax the strings on your Kure. I'm sure that wild hog fat can work in a pinch. Love your content and your "this is who I am" attitude - AWESOME!
And yes my broadheads are sharp, my FOC is above 18% and my arrows are pushing 600g
Y E S!!! Have fun😆
@14:33 THANK YOU... This "Suprise Release" and "Target Panic" seem like manufacturing marketing wank to me...
