Don't mean to put this under the "Gadget" heading. . .cause this video should be under a "Mandatory Equipment" heading - just want this to get some attention. Thanks BT and Skipmaster for a great DVD - and thanks for only charging $15. . . .you guys are obviously here for one reason - to help people become better archers/hunters. I think everyone that picks up a bow should check out the "Flight Tuning" segment - I can't believe I've been fumbling around with my paper tuner all this time (with frustrating results!)- your flight tuning is so simple, and it answered alot of questions for me. I'm not into traditional archery (although that's how I started as a kid), but I still thought it was interesting. The tree-stand angle shots taught me alot. . .I'm never taking that close of a shot, or putting a stand up 20 + feet again! This is a great website, thank you all for your time.  |

I am humbled by such a great response to the DVD and thank you!
Skipmaster was a great asset in the making of this DVD set and I am looking to provide the same in his Suburban hunts '06 DVD

BT brought all the knowledge to the DVD and did the hard drawn out task of editing. All I had to do was show up for a day and shoot a bit and offer some opinions(which I'm never short on). I'm happy and proud that I could be part of this project. I'm also happy that the DVD helped so many people, that was the goal.

I really wish I'd known about flight tuning in the past. . .It's so simple. . .why didn't I think of that! I dialed my bow in with ease this past holiday. . . now I'm shooting my broadheads more accurate than ever. Thanks again guys - keep up the good work.

Started on J.C.#2 Today (Down in the shop where sun light doesn't keep me from filming  ) Showed how to #1:set up a new bow on the bench with nock points/rest/peep. #2:Broadhead design show and tell (which should allow someone to use the basics to choose semi wisely when buying blind.) #3: Timing a bow and how to know if it is or isn't in time. #4:Serving a string. Next is the Nock selection process and nock tuning along with setting initial rest adjustment. I am looking forward to that part because I am going to be using 1 arrow and 4 different nocks to show the effect that a nock can have on flight. (it should sink in pretty well after this demo ) |

Can I assume you will demonstrate proper nock tightness on the string? And how to tighten/loosen the grip(of the nock) if needed?

Yes,thats correct. With the thicker 18-20 strand strings today , I am finding that alot of people are getting poor arrow flight at the same speeds We did go over this fact here last year but it needs repeating. When 14-16 stand was the norm you never really encountered these difficulties to the same degree to my recollection.  |

That was one of my many problems with my setup. Everytime I broke a nock I would replace it with one off my other arrows. The two different nocks had me chasing my tail.

I liked your J.C. #1 - didn't realize they're was gonna be a sequel - now some things you said on the dvd's make sense - when's it gonna be done? ? I'd been doing flight tuning using broadhead's and assumed that field pts would fly more true than they do - it is much easier to tune with field pts - thanks BT. Do you have any more room on your dvd to show people easy ways to check for fletch clearance and contact issues? |

The second DVD set is going to go over setting up a compound bow and timing issues as they pertain to the tune of your bow. I am going to get into showing you how to time a bow that has no timing stops or marks since these are generally the hardest for the beginner. The reason I want to show how and why is so that the layman can keep an eye on the guy behind the counter who does service the bow. That will fill the first Disc Disc two (of two) I haven't even thought about yet but I would like to cover some hunting aspects as we did in the first issue since there was alot of positive response to it. I also want to get some traditional work in both Discs for those who want to continue on that road. I want this series to stay like this site.....a divided alliance where two forms of archery can and do coexist  |
