Matt and Garrett sit down with Jason AKA Wojo of TUFFHEAD and discuss his company, bowhunting, and the archery industry.

Topics Discussed: Jason's crazy last name, Garrett does indeed have friends, the history of TUFFHEAD and how Jason got involved, the intimacy of hunting with a bow, shooting bears at 11 yards, turkeys being your arch nemesis, the slippery slope of buying traditional bows, shooting bows that are "too light" with arrows that are "too heavy", shooters that call themselves hunters, why shooting a heavy setup can bail you out on less than perfect shots, the archery industry selling speed, and a new product/ collaboration announcement that you HAVE to listen for near the end of the episode.

In Episode 6 we talk about creating bomb-proof setups that don't have to cost a small fortune.

Topics Discussed: Six different setups that will outperform your typical setup for less money, Garrett wearing sunglasses indoors, Matt is shooting a compound again, VPA (Vantage Point Archery) making broadheads for basically everyone, the surge of Australian broadheads, Matt is not into bleeders, DON'T FORGET THE VEGETABLE OIL, Blain had to use the potty, different quality steels being used in broadheads, why Full Metal Jackets are not ideal arrows and HIT inserts by themselves suck, the laziness of the modern day hunter, poor advice from people in hunting to new hunters, asking your local pro shop to carry heavier arrow components, why the amount of game you've taken or the amount of years you've hunted doesn't make you a good hunter, why Matt can't literally run circles around people and an announcement about some new merch being available soon!

Today we are joined by our friend and one of the true inspirations for the Podcast - Isaac Jestus with Limb Driven TV.

Topics Discussed: Poorly done poop jokes, Blain's desire to fletch arrows, why "Super Tuning" and "Flies like a field point" are the stupidest sayings in the archery industry, fat bears breaking scales, the consumer knowing more than the seller, shooting your girlfriends favorite animal, why the archery community is becoming too sensitive from constructive criticism, and Matt picked up some training wheels.
