In this video we are finding our aim points at 30, 35, and 40 yards with our freshly cut arrows.
In the last video we showed you how to organize your archery gear so you can quickly find a rough
tune for your setup. We identified that a 29 inch safari tough old school arrow was the ticket for
my hunting setup. We kick this video off by getting my arrows trimmed down in the studio
then we head to the push hq 3d range and I take you along as I figure out my gaps and aim points.
We'll show you how to use different landmarks in the sight window to help aim allowing you to shoot
those further distances a little better. Now let's send some arrows downrange. Okay guys in the last
video archery OCD you guys saw my arrow organization method and how quickly it was to achieve pretty
darn good tune with pre-cut arrows. Basically taking a dozen arrows and dedicating them to be
your primary tuning arrows. So in that video I'm just going to go drop these things back in here.
These are our 31 inch arrows. Show you how easy it is to use this arrow organizer. Again
Paul Helms from Paul Helms 3d print shop. Got my 30 inch arrows. 30 inch and 30 inch and then we're
going to drop in our 29 inch arrows here. 29, 29 and 29. Super nice, super organized as you can see.
Have my 500s and my 400s of every different arrow shaft from safari tough. What I really like about
this is how secure the arrows are down in those counter sinks and then this handle here you can
just grab the support handle and you can move your arrows around really nicely. So in that last video
you guys saw that the 29 inch arrow won. That was the best arrow flight that we had. So what I'm going
to do here in this video is we're going to take these full length 500s that stay in my Satori
hunting bow and we're going to cut these things down to 29 inches. We're going to speed up this
video here and then we're going to head back out to the 3d range and we're going to find my marks.
I'm going to show you how I figure out different landmarks in my sight window to be able to shoot
30, 35, 40 yards and then we'll go and find my gaps. Since it is a 29 inch arrow my gaps are
going to be a little bit larger at those shorter distances from like 12 to 18 yards but overall
it's going to be good. Now there's a video on our YouTube channel called Killer Aiming Method
showing you guys how I use the tip of the broadhead. It's right here in this thumbnail. Go check that
video out. It basically shows you for bow hunting how I use the vertically aligned broadhead tip
as a sight pin for bow hunting and what I've found is if you have a 30 inch point on 30 inch
a 30 yard point on with your arrow and a field tip using that broadhead it's going to put you
right at that 22 20 yard mark for the very tip of the broadhead which is exactly what I want. So
I believe that these 500 safari tough old schools with a 29 inch length and with my broadhead is
going to be absolute medicine in the whitetail woods so I'm excited. So all right let's speed up
the video. I'm going to cut some arrows. I'm going to pull these inserts cut them down and let's get
going. What you're going to see in the speed up video is I'm going to apply the heat straight to
straight to the carbon to get this insert out. I wouldn't recommend that. I would always recommend
boiling water and sticking the arrows in there to warm up that glue but since we know we're cutting
the arrow way back here the damage to the carbon with the high heat it doesn't matter. So I'm just
going to torch the carbon pull the insert so just stay out of the comments there on that because I
know some of you guys are going to notice that. But all right let's speed up this video. Let's get
these things cut to 29 inches and get back out to the 3d range. All right guys we got the 29 inch
arrows all loaded up here. We'll load them up into the satori. Let's head back out to the 3d range
and let's find our marks using these 29 inch arrows. Can't wait let's go. Okay guys we have
the 29 inch safari tough old school 500s that we just cut in the studio loaded up into the bow quiver.
Based on the last video that we did the archery OCD video where we were trying to figure out what
length arrow tuned best I know that the 29 inch arrow gives me roughly about a 30 yard point on.
So let's shoot two arrows at 30 step back to 35 two arrows there and then two arrows at 40
and figure out what our sight marks are. So I'm just going to hold this and kind of cut the gold.
This is what that sight picture is going to look like. This is what I think is going to hit. Okay
looks pretty good. Let's do it again. Looks great. 30 yards. Let's go ahead and step back here.
Let's try to find 35. 34.1. I need to bring you this way here. 34 and a half. 35 on the button.
Okay this is what I'm going to use. I'm going to use my springy rest wire and I'm just going to
hold it. I'm going to take my arrow and pass it straight up through the gold until my wire is
just to the left of the gold. Let's see where that hits. Okay a little high left. It's a little
difficult when that arrow passes through. It's like basically in your sight picture it's covering
what you're wanting to hit. So left and right tends to be a little tricky but I'll just be a
Okay looks pretty good. A little high left. That's roughly where I need to be.
Continuing to step back here. 40.7. So we'll take a quick step up. All right last two arrows here.
Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to use my shelf. So this is what that sight picture looks
like. I'm going to pass my arrow tip straight up through the gold and I'm going to cut the gold
with my shelf in my sight picture. Okay a little high so it might not be exactly the shelf. I'm
going to go ahead and set the shelf at the bottom of the gold. Looks pretty good distance there.
Let's go get these arrows and let's shoot at some 3D targets here. All right not too bad.
Not too bad. 30, 35, and 40 yards. So let's do something similar. Let's go ahead and set
the camera up so we can see the standing buck and the mule deer and we'll shoot around here.
Let's shoot another quibber at like 30, 35 and see what that looks like here.
There we go. Looks good. So it's a really gusty windy day. These arrows are recovering and handling
the wind really nicely so really really pleased with that. So let's find a range here. We're right
at 35 away from the standing buck so we know that we can take our wire, our springy rest wire,
and move it just left. Pass our tip straight up through the heart and see if we hit. Bingo. Okay
let's get a range on the mule deer. Mule deer is at 37 so I'm not going to jump to the shelf.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to hold the wire probably about top of insert. See where we hit
there. Okay way low left. Let's try that again. Okay that's better. That's better. I think that
first shot was just a little weak. Let's shoot that mule deer again. Just bring that springy
rest down a little bit. Looks like I'm hitting low right on that one. Let's just unload the
rest of this on this mule deer until we get it figured out. It's a pretty elevated shot too so
I got to really be conscious about my bow arm. Now these are carrying left a little bit on me.
Not too shabby. Let's go pull those arrows and do it again. That was a dot. Let's do it again.
All right shoot that mule deer again. 37 yards. Perfect. Perfect. Let's move up. Let's figure out
some of our other sight marks here. Let's just set up right here. Okay shoot the hog. Hog is
right at 19 yards. It's going to be a larger gap but let's just get get back there and I'll tell
you what that sight picture looked like. Oh you know what there's no target cam on the hog.
Never mind. All right standing buck is 27.3 from here. So it's not quite point on so I'm probably
going to put my tip right at the bottom of the insert. This wind is going crazy down through
that valley and I can see these arrows just riding that beautifully. There's not there's not
tail wag going on like parachuting. That whole arrow is just navigating and riding those
turbulent waves through this little valley and they're hitting beautifully. Let's look up at
that mule deer. Mule deer is 30 even so this should be point on. I'm just going to stick
my tip of the arrow right where my other arrow is sitting. Looks pretty good. Looks pretty good.
We're going to move up here so we can get some closer shots on the buck and the mule deer.
20 yards. 20.9 so 21 yards. So we're going to stick the tip of the arrow probably
a few inches below the belly line. High 10 ring. Maybe shoot that one again. Adjust that aim a
little bit. Come down a little bit further. Didn't like that. Left. Last arrow here.
Really ride that leg. There we go. That looked really good. Okay guys that's how I basically go
about getting a pretty rough tune. I have those pre-cut arrows that we showed in the last video.
Come out here empty a quiver with 32, 31, 30, and 29 inch arrows. All of them are pre-set up.
Figure out which one's flying the best. Then I just basically cut all my arrows to 29.
Come out here and start working through the 3d range. Figuring out my marks and now I know that
roughly about 40 yards is my shelf. 35 is my wire. 30 yards is the point of my tip and then 20 yards.
You know I got a little bit bigger gap than I would like but overall that's going to be really
nice when I start aiming off the tip of my broadhead during hunting season. So okay guys
