 Welcome back to the channel y'all. We've got a full build video for you here today And we're gonna be going from a bear naked factory bow like this to a fully rigged ready to hunt Compound deer slayer. Let's make it happen This is where it all starts right here in the cave And we're going to take our bear bow and turn it into the one you saw over here So I've got two new bows this year bowtack hooked me up with two bows, which is really neat because I Have the opportunity to set up two different styles of bows, you know I've gone down an archery rabbit hole this year My number one goals to get a a deer with my trad bow This guy right here Okay, just get a deer. I don't care if it's Bambi I'm gonna be crying if I actually get a deer with that obviously compound bows give you a much bigger Range they give you many more opportunities two different setups this year. I've got my blind bow My blind and basically if I want to get in a real tight little tree stand situation This is the bow. I'm gonna go with this is my CP 28 So that's a 28 inch axle to axle I've got no peep on here. So this is I've made this to shoot Low light inside of a dark blind basically it's got a shorter Frame to it. So it's easier to draw back in a blind. This is really cool bow This bow is a little bit longer and it's gonna be a smoother draw, which I really like The shorter axle to axle The the heavier it's gonna be right out of the gate So if you're in a blind and you don't have to worry about a lot of movement You're not sitting up in a tree or stocking situation where you're around a lot of cover I can just go ahead put a lot of muscle into that bow kind of change my draw to get some leverage on it This is gonna be a much smoother draw and that's what I really like I would I'd rather have a lower poundage smoother draw For making longer shots for being really sneaky and having to just draw straight back real slow It's the solution SS. It's one of bow techs new bows. Let's get this thing shooting some arrows y'all first thing I'm gonna do is take this This little brass speed knockoff I actually thought that was like a center shot marker You know, this is my This is part of the journey learning all this stuff. I called though tech I was like, hey, what is this for is this is this marking a center shot? Should I be putting my arrow and they're like, no, that's literally just from the factory test next step is Adding our rests. We're actually gonna be flinging arrows out of this thing pretty soon I like to go ahead and get the string stretched out start seeing how the arrows are flying for our rest We're gonna be putting on a ripcord drive cage and this is going to be a limb driven I'm not gonna tie this down just yet because we need to measure How our arrow is sitting on the rest to get it level so the big thing that I'm looking at is these two holes that are in the riser right here right in the middle and I basically want that arrow to Intersect those holes Evenly I want it to go straight across those holes when I'm looking at everything dead level Which I got to get this bow level While it's sitting in my little vise here. This isn't a bow vise either This is literally just a bench vise that I put some leather straps on Literally after we get that arrow Sitting where it needs to be and get our knock on there and get a D loop we can go shoot this bow It's that it's that that easy That's that's a bear bow ready to shoot and I like to shoot them Bear before I start adding everything else on All right, bow looks square. I got a cheap little level. I don't know if I fully trust this thing I really trust the arrows. I got the arrows are flying and then I'm gonna get some serving material and just put a little loop Where it looks level to me? Tighten that up a little bit and then we'll put a little level on the arrow Till that looks level. It's pretty close Okay, everything's looking really good going straight through the two holes in the center of the riser We've got our bubble level right there And I think we're ready to tie on a D loop now. So we'll leave that little knot in there So if you do decide to make the leap and get a bow press Do me a favor and be very careful Because The first time I put a bow in the bow press Didn't know what I was doing got one for the first time this year. I Dereiled the bow after messing around with string. I was trying to do some string tuning with the peep and I didn't put enough pressure when I put it back into the press and string came off the Cams derailed the bow That bow is currently at a bow shop So make extra sure when you're putting everything back in its place Keep pressure on the string as you're putting it down Don't want anybody to get Their bow screwed up or their face screwed up. The main thing with a D loop is you definitely don't want it to come off That's for sure. You want to make sure you're doing a proper knot on there I would say this is probably the most important thing you could learn if you're not even setting up your Your bows by yourself at home This is just know this because these things get messed up, you know, you get twists in them This is something you definitely want to be able to do at home So I'm not going to spend a lot of detail on it because there's a thousand videos on the internet but the main thing you want is to start with your Your main line on this side of the string towards you and then you're going to put it on the opposite side As you make your other knot you've got this little twist in here And that's going to compensate when you turn your wrist Especially if you're using a hinge release or a thumb release Opposed to an index. I've also just tied these little stop knots in here So it's the measurement of the knock basically is Is the distance between those two that's just going to help set that arrow in place This tag in right here is going to be on the outside So that loop is towards me on this side and it's a way for me on this other side the tag ends are facing the outer Cams of the bow the ends of the bow as far as size goes on my deloops. I like mine Just a little bit longer than probably the average person But I could be completely up to you now. We'll go ahead and just really wrench on that thing Like three quarters of an inch go to tie on our cord here to our arrow rest There's a little rubber sticker that comes with it I've got that on the bottom of the limb and we're going to feed the string through here Through that little rubber deal and that'll prevent the knot from moving around And then I'm just going to tie a fishing knot just a small uni knot and we're going to slide that down Kind of send it up Slide it down and really tighten it or it's not going to slip anymore All right, I think that'll work So at this point it is time to draw back this bow for the first time and then fling about 50 arrows I'm just trying to stretch the string out. So when I put the peep in it's not going to move anymore And I'm loving the draw cycle on the solution SS. It's smoother It's more what I'm used to and the bows firing really nice another thing I'm checking out as I'm stretching the string I switch from a fletched arrow to a bear shaft and I'm seeing how this arrow is flying in the air Flying rise it flying left is it up or down up and down looks awesome, but it is kicking hard right So I'm making adjustments to that rest until that arrow is flying Like a like a daggum arrow should just straight at the target got a little confidence Step back to 20 yards just to see if that bear shaft was gonna fly straight all the way through Ended up misjudging the distance lost an arrow, but that arrow was flying straight and that's what we want going back in the shop I'm just confirming the center shot of the bow with a bow square and The knock is lined up perfectly just putting that level on the arrow seems to really line things up nice The next move for me is I like to add a second indicator on my string and that is for my nose I like to set the tip of my nose either on the string or Recently I've started using a booger button or a nose button right there It's just a second confirmation, and I really like using that with no peep But I'm honestly just gonna add that second one on this peeped bow Just to have that extra security extra anchor point and to give that just right. I'm gonna put an arrow in the bow I'm gonna draw back. I'm gonna close my eyes And I'm going to use my muscle memory to put my tip of my nose right on the bow string and remember that spot I'll look at it. I'll mark it down. I'll tie a little string Indicator on it, and I'll move that until it is exactly right, and I'll do the same thing for the peep using the bow press I'll split the string equally. It's really easy to see here because I've got gray and black string Split that right down the middle and insert the peep Draw back until when you open your eyes, you're seeing a good clear straight peep. Once I do that I'm gonna temporarily tie it in the peep so we can go shoot this bow some more after we get the sight on This year I decided to totally switch it up and go with a single pin on both of my bows So I'm using this black gold single pin sight. It is awesome I love the clear picture and it is easier for my eyes as I'm getting a little bit older So I got the bow and the bench vise as level as I can and then I'm just making adjustments to the sight itself On the first second and third axis to get everything at a matching level This is where it really starts to get fun Y'all is when you got the sight on the bow and you're flinging arrows and you start getting groups And I'm just making little adjustments to my black gold sight Little clicks at a time until I'm getting those groups consistently in the center of the target So when I get my consistent groups at 20, I'm just going to go ahead and take a pencil And I'm going to mark exactly where my red arrow is on that sight Then I'm going to slowly dial this bow out at 30 40 and then 50 yards Until my elevation is looking consistent at that 50. Then I'll make my second mark That's going to help me determine how much the arrow is dropping And what tape I need to pick out to put on my sight So comparing my pencil marks to the sight tape booklet that came with the sight It's looking like we're at 277 and I'm placing the 50 exactly where That red marker is where my dial was where that last shot And then I can dial back to 20 and now we are good to go So even though I shot like 80 arrows through this bow after it was all said and done I still ended up getting some peep twist there at the end So one thing I decided to add as I went back and added a peep tuner inside of there So I don't have to do anything with the twisting of the strings One thing I really like about the bow tech bows is I can check the timing On the cans with the little indicators they have I don't like messing with all of that You know, I've already derailed a bow trying to mess with peeps I just hate peeps really but they are just they help you be so much more accurate at long distance And then once I got it exactly right and I made little micro adjustments Moving up and down pulling back a bunch of times and getting used to it I went ahead and I did my final tie in of the peep And I did that real popular I guess Levi Morgan came up with this this method Works awesome though. It really locks that peep in there. So that thing is set. It's not moving now I still have just a few micro adjustments to make with my little knock tie-ins right here I think the knock is it's a little tight right now. It's being squeezed when I pull back So I'm going to adjust that just a hair But as of right now that peep is straight on and when I pull back it's straight on So it's time to add the final touches One being a grip tape when I say we're fully rigging this bow We're fully rigging this bow here One final step with the site I'm going to do I'm going to take this off and I'm putting lock tight on there Because I don't need to make any more changes We're shooting good. We don't want this thing to move Just squeeze that all over my finger that gun it But this will get us through the season without having any backouts So I'm not actually taking the site off To do this I'm leaving it on just doing one screw at a time And don't think we're going to have any movement But we're definitely going to go we're definitely going to go shoot this bow again Now that we got the peep locked in Site is locked in for good For the season Jb weld permanent lock blue I use that on my scopes and stuff too Warning cancer Avoid contact with skin Good to know I'm already one leg in with a brain tumor and don't think a little finger cancer is going to kill me Stabilizer install probably Easiest thing we're that we're going to do with this entire bow This is the qts Six six inch carbon stabilizer I also don't normally hunt with the quiver. I don't like the extra weight that unbalances the bow So I usually stick it on my pack my backpack hunting or even my small pack when I'm white tail hunting Or hanging up in the tree or whatever But I am going to add the the mount and everything on this one is the tight spot shift lock So it allows you to adjust this however you want I like to have it so my My knocks are not digging into the ground if if my bow is is sitting or something. So we're going to put this on here and adjust it tight spot on Now i'm just going to put an arrow in here and adjust it Exactly where it needs to be I think that is it y'all I think that as our mighty bow tech solution s s completely done and ready for its final shots at a deer target What are we sitting at right here? I'm going to guess 36 or 37 because I shoot here a lot 39 just a touch over so Why don't we load an arrow and see how this thing is shooting dialing 239 I actually like to shoot a sight tape that actually puts me a hair under at those uh longer distances Just because animals like to duck and if I miss that lung shot i'm hitting them in the heart Beautiful bow is feeling smooth There's only one more test that we have to do before we can take this bow to the woods And it be just as ready as that cp 28 that is we're going to take a 30 yard three shot group with field points and then we're going to put a broad head on We want to make sure that the broad head is flying just as good as the field tips. So I got 125 grain Field tips and broad heads now. I really don't think we're going to have to do anything because when we were Stretching the string out. We shot those bear shafts until we were lining them up straight But if we do have to make adjustments one of the great things about the newer bow techs is they have That deadlock system so you can just move your cams Left or right until those those arrows are flying straight and you can get your field tips And your broad heads lined up. All right moving you guys right here because 30 yards is Should be right here 29 that'll do okay field tips first Wow that was just dead Dead nuts Pulled just a hair So it feels a tad loose Right there in that zone Dead nuts absolute dead nuts. All right. Let's go take a look at it And then we'll put a broad head on see how that aims our windage is just right So something that could happen with broad heads. It could shoot low Could have more drag and shoot low Or but we really don't want as if it's going Low and right or right or left or whatever. So that's the main thing we want to check for i'm going to aim Right at that center dot again. Let's see where we go with the broad head There may not be that much of a difference at 20 30 yards. I'll really be able to tell Like I said, I don't think it's going to be that bad, but at 30 yards. I'll be able to tell A smidge high. I'm using these AAE max vanes. They're a little big But I wanted a lot of control on the arrow for for broad heads But you don't even realize how much Correction those Fletchings will do or those veins will do until you shoot with a bare shaft I mean, it'll come out completely sideways and correct With veins Yeah, I don't need to shoot it anymore All right now for fun. We're grabbing both bows And we're going to see which one I shoot better with Solution ss with the peep site and index release or the cp 28 no peep Thumb release 30 yards. Let's see which one wins We're going to do the ss first because I've got my index release on So I'm going to shoot at the left Square for this one. You're definitely in the square right there. Sort of pulled it, but we're still in the square That could be my release The thumb release is a little smoother. It's a pretty daggom good group Okay, I feel like this bow is a little bit louder and this bow is Harder to pull back at the start Because of that 28 inch Axle to axle but The let off is insane I'm going to go center target here. God. I feel like it just Completely goes away just a hair high. This bow is just a little bit heavier as well God dog, I pulled it Solution's gonna we're gonna win here God dog I got two arrows like real close to each other Just a tad low and I got one high peep versus no peep. We're definitely tighter here Uh, normally I shoot a little bit better. It could have been I just was a little tired on those shots, but I still love not looking through a peep and having that wide open picture Um at close distances And now we have two bows that are ready to take to the woods and hunt And you guys got to see me go from literally a bare bow from the factory to a bow That is bear shaft to broad head tuned Ready to go hunting in the woods. Let me know in the comments. Which one you would rather take Man for me, it's uh, it is a toss up right now. It really just depends on the situation Uh, if I'm You know short distances white tail hunting, especially low light. This is the one I'm really falling in love with It is just a little tough on that the beginning of that draw, but love the let-off on that cp28 This bow's just smooth. It's just smooth all around. I feel like it's it's quieter. It shoots smoother Um smooth drawl cycle. It's and it's dialed. It's it's good for long distances So if I've got a situation where I'm stalking and I'm gonna have a long shot maybe elk hunting Something of that nature. I just know I need to make longer shots. I'm definitely taking the bow with the peep I'm shooting both eyes open on both of these But there's something about just not having that peep in the way and watching that arrow all the way through with both your eyes I can't wait to watch this thing hit an animal in this season You better be out there setting up your bow and practicing right now Because the season is just around the corner. I can't wait to take all to the woods with me. So subscribe to the channel And hit the like button. Maybe you learned something today. Maybe you just enjoyed me fiddling around with bows But I will see you guys on the next adventure in the great outdoors
