you are spot on, but it will always be the way it is.... getting a Gillingham on the board will never happen.... giving a free "Dr Ashby" hat to anyone who shoots a 650gr arrow with 20+% foc might.... they have become promoters, not scientists.I like Troy, Ed, and the THP. However my issue with all of this testing is just the bias. All the guys involved in the Ashby foundation already buy into the gospel of the 12 rules. They are all actively trying to prove the theories are the divine truth. If they wanted the absolute best scientific results they would take all that donation money and give it to Bill Vanderheyden. They also need to recruit some diversity in order to be taken seriously. Some will think this is a joke, however they need a Tim Gillingham on the board as well. This would be more like a fair jury panel vs a bunch of die hard Ashby cult members. Let the science be what it is, and accept the results.
i don't understand why some people don't like Troy.... he's good people. i'm not following his lead, don't watch his videos (not seeking that info) but he's a super nice guy, and regardless of opinions, he's trying to help others. i don't need a 700gr arrow and 30% foc, because i'm not having problems with my setups (wasn't even back in the day shooting elk with sub 400gr arrows)The popularity of this thread is proof we need to bring back Ranch Fairy. I like 480 grain arrows, but this place can become an echo chamber after a while of people that are placed in the middle of the bell curve.
Watch his videos and you'll understand why some people don't like him. I've watched a few and don't care for the Ranch Fairy shtick and outbursts of maniacal laughter. I wouldn't necessarily say I dislike him, just that his personality (as portrayed on YouTube) and mine don't jive. For many it may be the delivery, not necessarily the message, that sours them. His "adult arrow" comments (and associated implication that lighter weights are "children's arrows") probably also turn some people off.i don't understand why some people don't like Troy.... he's good people. i'm not following his lead, don't watch his videos (not seeking that info) but he's a super nice guy, and regardless of opinions, he's trying to help others.
Arrows are the PF Flyers of the Archery world, they make you run faster and jump higher. This such a sensitive topic because people are conditioned in this market to be invested in their arrows personally for whatever reason. You can read this forum all day long a guy says he has a VXR with 75# 80% mods at 79lbs just to shoot a whitetail and no one thinks twice but if shoots a 600 grain arrow at it that’s crossing the line. While I don’t subscribe to RF personally there’s hypocrisy when it comes to bows but not arrows.
This is spot on advice.I think 600 gr for whitetail is way better than 75#.
Too many people don't realize the problems they are creating in form with that kind of weight, I didn't.
Each his own, I just don't like guys who are new to this reading everything and thinking they need to have some of this stuff.
They need good form, practice, and well tuned equipment.
Yes sir…you nailed it.Each his own, I just don't like guys who are new to this reading everything and thinking they need to have some of this stuff.

Finally a non controversial stance we can get behind.With all that said we can all agree you won’t kill anything unless your camo matches.

But let’s not forget that if you don’t spend over 1,000$ on the matching camo it won’t work either.
