About this episode
This week we take a deep dive into understanding the physics of bows, arrows and broadheads. After losing a buck of a lifetime on a well-placed shot, guest Kenny Thompson spent years collecting data and researching how it all works together, and has developed a system that’s working great for him and his bow shop clients. Kenny takes a hard stance on his preferred fixed blade broadhead choice, and we agreed with much of what he said, but not necessarily all of it because there is also data to back up the effectiveness of quality mechanicals. Understanding that the bow and arrows need to be tuned for balance and for maximum efficiency to enhance penetration made so much sense to us. We talk down range arrow speed, tuning, balance, penetration, and also momentum. All this is discussed to explain where and why to try to hit a whitetail. Everybody should aspire to be an as effective as possible when a chance at a shot presents itself. We enjoyed the conversation and it reiterated to us that we all need to spend more time with our equipment. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.
