Ranch Ferry.
Ha Haaaaaa. Love it. I really enjoy his YouTube channel. Thinking about changing my arrow set up now. Any of you guys watch his channel?

Re: Ranch Ferry.
I am building some adult arrows for spring bear in a few months. Can’t wait to see how they hammer.

Re: Ranch Ferry.
Love that guy.
I always had a heavier arrow more of a teenager
Looking forward to an adult build

Re: Ranch Ferry.
I think he might be on Meth
but I love his content. Except for when I start looking at the prices of some of these broadheads

Re: Ranch Ferry.
I've watched quite a few of his videos...some of it makes a guy think. After my indoor league is done I'm going to play around with arrow weights and FOC....looking forward to it, should be fun.

Re: Ranch Ferry.
Oh and the big arrow/components companies should love that guy...everybody tweaking their setups spend a few bucks

Re: Ranch Ferry.
I thought I had arrows on the heavy side, now I realize I'm justbsgooting quail loads
I think he makes what can be a nerdy topic kind of fun to watch videos on. He has me thinking pretty seriously about going back to cut on contact heads from fixed four bladers and adding another 125 grains to my arrows.

Re: Ranch Ferry.
I'm not going to invest in new arrows as mine are fine. I'm going to push the limit on point weight though. I have .340 shafts and am going to switch out my hundred grain heads to 125's and maybe screw in some insert weights. See how far I can push that noodle skeet load shaft. Lol.

Yeah I bought some 50 and 100 grain brass inserts that I can screw on extra weight to play around with.

Re: Ranch Ferry.
Although its pretty dry if anyone is serious about upping their arrows they should check out the Ashby reports. It's where ranch fairy bases all his lunacy.
https://www.ashbybowhunting.org/ashby-reports
Really good stuff in there

I shoot gold tip so I can use their FACT system screw in weights. I had them for years so I just had the factory aluminum inserts installed, so I think I'm stuck with them.

Those are the inserts and additional weights I bought too...along with the wrench thing

Re: Ranch Ferry.
Somebody should tell him to not drink the bong water. Heavy arrows are definitely ideal as long as you know the yardage. That way your "rainbows" fall into the kill zone. Aside from my sarcasm, everybody takes things to the extreme. I've found for whitetails a decently flat shooting bow with arrows around 400 grain is always better than a slow bow shooting arching logs. But if your good at judging yardage then heavy arrows are for you.

It's not just heavy arrows. It's FOC being a key factor. I don't disagree with you though. Most my arrows have been about 400 grains and I never really had an issue. I'm adding weight to raise my FOC. I bet my arrows won't be over 450 when done. Plenty fast and flat shooting. You have to remember, Ranch Ferry does a lot of pig hunting. A lot tough animal than a whitetail.

Yeah there are a lot of setups that will effectively kill whitetails at normal hunting distances. A guy should use what gives them confidence...topics like these can start flame wars and we don't want that.
