Archery and bowhunting holds a mistique unmatched by any other predatorial pursuit we humans take part in. The arching flight of a well-made arrow toward the center of a distant target is a joy known to all who draw a bowstring... this episode is all about how to choose and set up exactly the right arrow and broadhead.  We're joined by 30-year Easton veteran and head marketing director Gary Cornum, who shares his experience and insights on the evolution of arrow shafts, fletching, broadheads, and more.  Gary leads us through the concepts of small-diameter arrows, the FOC (forward-of-center) weight trend, arrow spine strength and how it's measured, and the always-controversial topic of fixed-blade vs. mechanical broadheads.  ENJOY!    FRIENDS, PLEASE SUPPORT THE PODCAST!  Join the Backcountry Hunting Podcast tribe and get access to all our bonus material on www.patreon.com/backcountry VISIT OUR SPONSORS HERE:  www.browning.com www.barnesbullets.com www.timneytriggers.com www.leupold.com www.onxmaps.com www.silencercentral.com https://www.portersfirearms.com/ www.gunwerks.com www.siembidacustomknives.com https://javelinbipod.com
