I guess Tim’s Package coming soon to the website.. if you got a better name comment it here ✊
TC’s RTH Package 📦 or Connor’s Killer Combo 😎🏹
Can we talk about the angle of the dangle on Tim's package for a moment? I notice the front is a little more erect on Tim's bush package compared to the 10 degree hang on the longer, more refined package. Does the hang down cost more money or is your bush package just not long enough to be less erect? Curious minds want to know
I don't think I can out do Tim's package.

Even better you use the Bear Alaskan, MFJJ using the Darton Consequence and Dan could hopefully bring another Sub $1000 setup, for 3D shoot off
Great idea, that'd be a fun watch.
You need to finish this series with budget arrows! MFJJs titanium inserts are definitely not “budget” 😂
Definitely not budget, boujee maybe.. will keep the budget arrow idea in mind ✊
A lot of the budget minded purchasers of Bear have been buying the Alaskan XT. Between all my bills I can never seem to spend more than $800 for a set up. I always have to sell my older bows to help afford the upgrades. I love salivating over the high end bows as much as anyone but Bear helps me stay close to industry tech while staying under budget so I know guys like me really appreciate you guys reviewing these lesser $ bows.
I got my Alaskan XT a few weeks ago. I swapped out the string grubs with brass speed nocks in their place, and installed cat whisker string silencers between them. This alone quieted the bow and reduce vibration a lot. So, for my build:
Alaskan XT - $560
Trophy Ridge Hotwire sight - $135
Trophy Ridge Sync rest - $50
Pine Ridge 7/32" peep - $8
Front 8" stabilizer - $18
Backbar 6" stabilizer - $18
Stabilizer mounting bracket - $38
D-loop - pennies
Cat whiskers - pennies
4 dozen Easton Axis arrows that I procured from the archery shops where I worked over the years, and people were breaking them, and all I did was cut them down to my length for me - $12 for replacement HIT inserts.
Total - $802
(I actually paid cost for my 2 bows, since I freelance at the shop where I bought it. Not gonna say what I paid.)
I'm loving my Alaskan XT as well as my Whitetail Maxx. Bear has come a long way, and at the pricepoints they're set at, they can't be beat!
I love Tim's Package. Its a shooter.
Sweet setup and shooting. I am glad Josh is putting those builds on the website.
I agree with another commenter that budget arrows should be next, even though I agree 1000% that the Victory RiP TKOs in the gamer or sport variety are a great value option.
Noted!
Awesome what you’re doing here. Only suggestion to be fair would be the head to head part should be on the same day. Pretty extreme difference in days you had there. Thx for what you do!!
Really love the direction you’ve gone with the channel. Informational and entertaining. Thanks for the time you put in!
Got a bear species RTH last year $379 and got a buck with it first year bow hunting. Without knowing any better I love it and confidently shoot at target out to 50 yards. Would recommend to anyone with a low budget like me.
That’s probably the best $1000 all around bow build I’ve seen for all new accessories
I'm enjoying the budget series. I hope you continue to make content using both the Darton and Bear. So many of us out here with limited budgets and not in the market for $2-3k (fully built) bows. Thanks and keep up the excellent work on your channel.
And banana hammock.
More to come!
Tim, which now did you like better. Alaskan XT or Consequence?
I’m using a back bar bracket from amazon that’s $25 and I’m very impressed with it it has front and rear quick release mounts and a option to run a down angle or not. Also you can run it with the front bar or separate. I’m running AAE hotrods 15 in front and 10 in the back. Awesome to see Dan on the channel and can’t wait to see the shoot off 🔥
Content is spot on!! I am in the market after a 25 year hiatus. Totally considering one of these two! Keep up the excellent work!!
Banana hammock!!!
Tim I've watched you progress and I think its your skill, last one it was raining and you seemed rushed but you have made so many improvements its awesome. You guys are great,💪
How times have changed. $500 used to be expensive. With the starter packages from Bear and Diamond and the like one can still do pretty well with 500.
Great video series man, this gonna help out a ton of people! 🔥
Loved the series I just wish you filmed the bear budget build video in somewhat similar weather as the Darton definitely gave the bear an advantage as well as the background coaching. Oh well still a great video and series can't wait to watch more.
Good stuff. I just bought the Alaskan XT RTH. Going in this week to change out peep & tune it at our local Shop. I chose this Alaskan over the Adapt Plus & the Whitetail Maxx. But it was such a difficult decision. Balance, smooth draw, soft shooting, quite, quality for value. All these are excellent but the Alaskan XT just edged out the others. Thank you gents.
Great build, Tim's package is looking good from here 👌
So I watched the 2 shootout videos that posted of these bows but it seemed like the weather played a large factor on the target results . Did Tim and MFJJ ever discuss which of the 2 $1000 bows they would go with if they had to use one for a hunt or if they could add any high end options they wanted to the bows would that change the bow they would choose? This series was great! Thank you so much for posting this!
You should sooooo set up the Alaskan XT to shoot-off against Dan's $3000 Mathews setup, and win!!
This was an amazing series! I actually learned so much and now know what to learn and expect for a nice bow tune. Absolutely amazing guys!
Awesome content as always. IMO a great video idea incoming; give both you and Josh a certain budget and you guys must build the best USED market Bow build and make it a competetion. Either as a shootoff or simply who got the best value. Can do this multiples times with different budgets in the future.
The Tim package. That's great. Good job fellas. Impressive
Love you guys and the content! Ready to see some recolabs with Dan the man!
Your shooting has improved so much Tim! Look forward to the shoot off with Dan
Thank you 🙏
7:56 what happened with shot Tim 🤓 those fletching seem to have changed mid draw
Awesome sauce you guys are the best!
2 shots!!! That's badass!
Way better weather day for sure.
Dazed and Confused, my boy!
Dug the series, Tim and Co. Keep up the killer content.
🤩 this bow build is a steal of a deal fo sho!
Id absolutely take a "Tim's package " for 1k! Keep up the killer content man!!
Iv always been looking for a good hunting bow for under 1000….. I will definitely be checking this out when it hits the website… thanks boys
Outstanding!!
Budget hunting bow. I have never needed any stabs and a trophy ridge 3 pin sight will work great on that bow.
Podium package 🎯
Very awesome Tim! I now know why you decided to build both. N the bear is 10 fps faster then the darton wasnt it?
Magical color changing fletchings wow!!
HOLY!!! That first swing with the axe almost went wrong, my heart dropped... I stuck a axe in my Romeo one day like that, almost cut part of my foot off. Sure I'll enjoy the video like always, but wanted to point out the PTSD you gave me in the first seconds of this video 😂
I went and got the same one I love this bow 🏹🏹🏹🏹
Need to hunt with both and film them for follow up and which one you liked best
Hey Tim, can we get a video comparing budget to high end arrows at 60+ yards? It’d help a lot of people especially the budget minded.
Consider it ordered my friends
The Achilles heel of mid price bows are typically strings and cables. I would have tried to fit that in the budget somewhere I think.
🍌 Hammock Edition, that should be the package name with a water bottle sticker of a Banna in a Hammock. All the cool kids are doing it.
Youve got me concinved on either the consequence or the alaskan xt. I am new to bows. I am 42. Plan to hunt deer. I had a browning compound when I was 14. Hunted deer on the family farm for 3 years. Havent shot since. Local shop telling me I would be happy with a elite basin. They say it is in the same category as the two you tested. Whats your thoughts on the elite basin?
Hey Brother. Y'all need to include a banana hammock with purchases of the Tim's "Package" deal on the website. That would be hilarious. Great video.
Banana Hammock
Also we need a shoot off for points with flagship and both budget builds. Maybe using 3d targets at different ranges!?!
Another for Tim's Package👌👍
Can you do the cheapest, amd best stabalizer reveiw
AMD makes stabilizers? I thought they made processors.
I meant and
Does MFJJ know youre chopping wood in his chill spot? LOL Im really liking these budget builds. Another great video.
I tried that rest and ended up having to take off the rubber piece on the shaft. Wasn't able to get 100 percent clearance
Great video Tim! Hope to see u and Dan's shoot off soon ! Banana hammock 😂
I'd like to see both "budget" builds shot outside side by side. 👍
Love the video! Banana Hammock!!!!
I’d be interested to know what procedure was used to correct the horizontal paper tear? Shim adjustment? I had the same issue with mine and made shim adjustment top and bottom.
Yessir, first a yoke adjustment.. then a shim
I literally got this bow Alaskan xt like 2 weeks ago. Can we order the package from the website, without the bow. And would that be cheaper than buying each part individually from the website.
(I’m just now getting back into compound archery, I have been doing trad only ( Asiatic archery) for the past ten years)
Will there be more testing between the Bear and Darton to determine a clear winner of the build off?
O'connor....you squandered the price of AnOtheR wicked budget bow w/ the expensive sight!! Love this series! You guys talk as though there is some magical sacrifice. Stored energy is stored energy, period. Adjust your arrow weight to suit the ballistics you want.
......................can we all agree that any bow made today can handle 320 fps.......??? Use a lighter arrow f.f.s. I miss Norb, he would straighten this shit out......the ratio of p.d.f. to stored energy ShoUld be a WARNING to how finicky a set up is gonna be ;)
O'connor...do some cool man shit over there.....take that bear, and drop the a.t.a. by a 1/2 ", and make a 320 f.p.s. toy to play with.......fuck sake........MF'er knows how to do that shit..........
99.8% of bowhunter's would be served better w/ a $20 amazon 3 or 5 pin sight.
use the disclaimer *for entertainment purposes only*, be MF'er's alter ego, and build some cool shit often......
....there is already a ton of shitty archery shop content....do something cool a.f..........I dare you.
Grape smuggler😎
Which quiver did you use for these builds?
Shoot off should utilize all scoring methods and tournament styles imo
Good video
New budget bow or used flagship bow a couple years old. What’s better?
Dope.
Should have used the trophy ridge propel ims.
@timconnor13 stop winking at me when you shoot…I’ll start getting the wrong idea 😂
Hey It's Tim Shockey! Lol
I wanna buy the Alaskan XT Tim package
Budget arrow next???
How do I find josh jones hunting vids I want to see some rip xv hunt videos
Banana Hammock!!!
Banana Hammock!
Dig the music...
What was the arrow weight for that 295?
430, 29” draw
Yeahhhhh buddy
Love your videos however the only thing that sucks is the fact that you cannot find an archery technician in the state of Ohio that even takes and puts the time and quality into setting up your rig like MF JJ at least not one I have found yet still trying to get help but too many boat technicians here seem to half-ass their job
Banana hammock 🍌 🏹
Sorry I was late daddy Tim ❤ I'll do better next time ❤
A shoot off with both of you using Sub $1000 setups

Tim, tell MFJJ to get the 4mm titanium inserts back in stock online or else you get to hit a driver off the deck, the deck being his ass of course.

Hard to beat a bear bow for the money
So which one do you like better 😅

супер видео 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Aussie here and first lemme say great video, really like your channel.
I realise Australia has airways been behind the US with archery...
This is $1500 AUD and probably dearer because it's imported. We're at the point now where people think they can't hunt unless they drop that sorta money, minimum and that's keeping people out of hunting. Which is a shame because Australia has a tonne of animals legal to hunt 365 a year and let's be honest... a $350 compound, tuned up with a great shooter behind it is gonna do better than any bow 15+ years ago
Sorry... just my rant. I totally expect to get destroyed
