PC 359 - Deep Dives Into Arrow Ballistics Testing with James Yates

This podcast is a must listen for the archery community. I’m speaking with James Yates who is an Engineer, Backcountry Outdoorsman, Technical Writer, Husband/Father and Accomplished Hunter. James is fascinated with archery accuracy and forgiveness and finding non bias information that will help those who need it in the archery community. James just conducted a great arrow test in conjunction with Precision Cut Archery & Easton Archery collecting data of several aspects of arrow flight. In particular, to study how an arrow’s components (vanes, shaft diameter, shaft length, point tip type, etc.) affect ballistic properties such as aerodynamic drag and restorative lift (how an out-of-tune arrow corrects itself), and therefore, how an arrow build can be optimized for specific purposes, such as hunting different species (with different broadheads) and various target archery events. What I appreciated about this test is that Easton has revealed their bullet proof shooting machine for the first time publicly giving the consumers to archery a deeper look at what testing methods are usually happening behind the scenes. James and the team were at the Easton Foundation Center documenting evidence of different aspects of arrow flight, cause and affects, downrange ballistics, pairing vanes & broadheads. This podcast tees up the information that will later be released for all to see.
