1 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: This is me Eater podcast coming at you shirtless, severely 2 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: bug bitten, and in my case, underwear listening podcast. You 3 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: can't predict anything presented by first, like creating proven versatile 4 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: hunting apparel from Marino Bass layers to technical outerwear for 5 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: every hunt. First like go farther, stay longer. Okay, we're 6 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: recording remotely right now from Kerrville, Texas in a hotel 7 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: thing like a very bland stale hotel meeting room with 8 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: the not very bland at all, highly esteemed Dr ed 9 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: Ashby from the Ashby Bow Hunting Foundation, who is um 10 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: developed lifelong expertise and arrow and broadhead technology. But before 11 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: we get to him, we got to talk with with 12 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: our buddy, Jason Phelps has been on the show a 13 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: bunch of times, including some of our most popular episodes 14 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: ever when he comes down and explains, uh, what elk 15 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: are saying when they make noises? How to mimic those noises? 16 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: And of course you know from Phelps game calls, and 17 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: you know what, Yannie, what was the uh? Um? Tell 18 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: people go how to find that hunt you did with 19 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: you and Phelps the YouTube hunt. You can go to 20 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: meat EAT's YouTube page and uh find the latest season 21 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: of meat Eator Hunts and uh, it's the first two episodes, 22 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: Part one and part two when I was stunting pelts. 23 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: He's all nervous. He keeps watching to make sure you're 24 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: ELK episode out in view metrics. He doesn't want it 25 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: to get it's I guess it's like neck and neck 26 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: between your metator Hunt's meal your episode and you meet 27 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: your Hunts elk episode. He wants that one to be 28 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: number one. Yeah, he's got real strong opinions about why 29 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: I should be number one. And he thinks squirrel hunting stupid. 30 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: So if you make a scroll hunting one and it 31 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: whoops that one, I've got one plan for this fall, 32 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: So get ready, Jason. Okay, So Jay's felts Uh why 33 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: He's like, what's wrong with plastic vehagle tubes? Why? Why 34 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: did you want to mess around an aluminum vegle tube? Yeah? Up, 35 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: un to this point, we had all relied on plastic 36 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: um to try to get a high pitched um you know, 37 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: those better familiar with oak vocalizations, like a bowl vehagle 38 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: gets to a very very high frequency um up around 39 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: like hers. And we've always used plastic and harder plastics 40 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: to try to get there. Uh, And so the idea 41 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: came about where, well, if we used an aluminum um material, 42 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: we would able to be able to get to that 43 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: frequency um maybe better than plastic um would get there. 44 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: So nobody had used it. And then the idea of 45 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: trying to solve a problem that we had with plastic 46 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: vehagle tubes. The other thing that it did in a 47 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: roundabout way by being able to get to a higher pitch, 48 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: we were able to put like a near premaus on it, 49 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: which fixes another issue of bigger plastic tubes. UM. They're 50 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: extremely noisy as you walk through the woods, if you 51 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: hit a tree, if you hit brush, as they dragged 52 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: through the brush. So by putting the neoprenus sleeve on 53 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: the aluminum, we were able to kind of make a 54 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: hybrid system that solves a couple of issues. We can 55 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: maintain the high note, keep it quiet um. The end 56 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: result is a very very loud vehicle tube, louder than 57 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: I can be on my plastic tube. So it is 58 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: an effective tool in the woods where you know, I 59 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: got a better chance at getting a response from a 60 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: bowl at a further distance. And then we had one 61 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: shot we've been also working on attachments called the easy 62 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: vehgler mouth piece and the flared mouth piece, and we 63 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: didn't have the right system to attach those two and 64 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: so during this aluminum design process, UH, we were able 65 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: to design it to accept these attachments, UM, which will 66 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: really assist people that can't put a diaphragm in their 67 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: mouth to be able to steal bogle and be effective 68 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: out in the woods. And so another thing about the 69 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: metal vehicle tubes, it comes with like a mouth piece 70 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: that which you call the easy bagleer mouth piece, which 71 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: you make clear is for people that don't want to have, like, 72 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 1: don't like to have a diaphragm calling her mouth. Can't 73 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: make a diaphragm calling her mouth? Yeah, so right now, 74 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: and you know the best way to bagle is to 75 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: put an internal diaphragm which consists of a piece of latex, 76 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: a frame and some tape to seal the call off 77 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: in your mouth. And we create our vehicles to that. UM. 78 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: One thing we've noticed over a lot of time, UM 79 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: talking with a lot of customers, you know, gag reflexes. 80 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: People that just can't figure out, UM how to run 81 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: the call. Their mouths don't work right, you know, on 82 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: and on there are reasons why people can't run a diaphragm, 83 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: and so what we design is we've taken our very 84 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: very popular ant diaphragm, taking the tape off and then 85 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: created a seal inside of an external attachment and all 86 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: you have to do is put your bottom lip over 87 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: the small air opening and blow. Uh. There is a 88 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: little bit of of skill involved, but it's it's you know, 89 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: at ten percent of being able to run an internal diaphragm. 90 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: You literally just have to put your lip over the 91 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 1: bottom of whole, apply you know, different pressures, and blow 92 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: through it to achieve in a bold bagle. So it's 93 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: very easy and it solves a lot of issues that 94 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: people have it running a diaphragm. So I want you 95 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: to compare what these different things sound like. So take 96 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: one of your regular diaphragms and hold it up to 97 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: the aluminum bagle tube and rip right, and then go 98 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: ahead and crank one out with the mouthpiece and maybe 99 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: do whatever back and forth, you know, so people can 100 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: hear the difference between what they're what you're getting with 101 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: a diaphragm and what you're getting with the easy beagle 102 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: or mouthpiece. Which you really just like kind of put 103 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: your mouth over and and blow. Yeah. So we've taken 104 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: the this tube had the easy bogle are on it, 105 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: so we've switched over to the flared detachment, which is 106 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: meant for diaphragm colors, and we'll give it a little go. So, yeah, 107 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: that's a diat it. It's got great back pressure, it's 108 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: easy to run, and it's got great sound. So we 109 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: just went ahead and took the flared mouthpiece off, snap 110 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: the easy Bugler on, and we'll give it a give 111 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: it a go. So one thing I can tell by 112 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: blowing it in my office here versus the first one, 113 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: and you may not be able to tell since we're 114 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: going over the phone Steve, is that this is extremely loud. 115 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: Um not easy Bugler was. I don't know if it's louder, 116 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: but it's definitely louder, and it's it's it's evident by 117 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: what my ears are feeling right now that that easy 118 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: Bugler is louder. And I'm allowed diaphragm color, but I 119 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: cannot get the same volume out of a diaphragm as 120 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 1: I can that easy Bugler mouth piece. So, like I 121 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, I don't want to be a broken record, 122 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: but it's got some good utility out in the woods. 123 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: Or an Elk hunner trying to get something to respond. Yeah, 124 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: there's a like there's a market difference in the volume 125 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: and how well it carries. So you're either gonna Elk 126 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: are gonna hear better, other dudes are gonna know you're 127 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: there and move away. Either way, it's win win, all right, man, Um, 128 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: we will talk to Jason Susan take our Yeah, thanks 129 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: for having me.

Yep, that's it, that's all right. 134 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,119 Speaker 1: The military doctor. I was in the military yep. Spent 135 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: uh almost ten years in the Air Force and changed 136 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: over the Public Health Service. Worked out on the Indian 137 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: reservations for a number of years. That was in the 138 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: area office covered seven states up in Minnesota, that area 139 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: up in there, and then it ran the eye care 140 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: program nationwide for the Federal Bureau or Prisons. In my 141 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: last four years, so I did twenty six years with 142 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: the government, long enough, and then you went off to Africa. 143 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: I retire, liquidated everything I had in the States, moved 144 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: to Africa, got it and got into the Then he 145 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,119 Speaker 1: got into the broad heads and arrows. But I actually 146 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: I was doing stuff like that long before uh. I 147 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: got involved with the Tall study back in eighty four. 148 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: And uh by pure accident, pure good luck. Good luck 149 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: has seemed to follow me the whole time I was. 150 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: I had written over trying to see if I could 151 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: uh hunter rhino with bowing era and no, it wasn't legal, 152 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: couldn't couldn't do it. And then what gave you the 153 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: idea that you should have should have to even ask 154 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: somebody to if you could shoot a rhino with a 155 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: born arrow? Or who did you write to? Well? I 156 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: wrote to the game department there in South Africa asking 157 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: about him. And then when they decided they wanted to 158 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: look at archery and see about legalizing it. Uh, they're 159 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: in the Tall Province. They were having an eating sitting 160 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: around talking about, you know, how they were gonna set 161 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: this up, how they were going to do it, what 162 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: animals are going to shoot? And they got talking about 163 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: the big animals. What you know, how big an animal 164 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: could you take? And stuff? And somebody there and I 165 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: still don't know which. One of them said, you know, 166 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: somebody wrote me to three years ago, uh, asking about 167 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: hunting a rhino. So I think I've still got the letter. 168 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: Went and looked in their files. They did contacted me, 169 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,599 Speaker 1: said you still want to come try to shoot the 170 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: rhino with boring air. Told me about ten seconds to 171 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: say yes, and uh, so you know we set that up. 172 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: I went over, I did the rhino hunt while I 173 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: was there and talking to him and stuff. It's got 174 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: a few other animals on that trip. Uh. They said, Look, 175 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: I said, this is what we're doing, and we're looking 176 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: at if we want to legalize this. So would you 177 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: like to come back next year? So let's repeat the 178 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: rhino and then you bring as many different broadheads as 179 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: you can lay your hands on, and we'll go into 180 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: Maccouzi Park and before the Rifle Cup, we have to 181 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: cull animals every year and we will shoot as many 182 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: animals as we can shoot. And we want to, you know, 183 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: take a look at the effectiveness and what we turned 184 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: out and doing is they literally wanted to take any 185 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: shot that we thought we could make because they wanted 186 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: to look at what happened when you made bad shots 187 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: with different arraw set ups and so forth. And so 188 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: we went in there and I think you shot a 189 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: hundred fifty four animals in thirty days in Maccuzi. Uh. 190 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: But we were backed up with a rifle for that, 191 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: so that if you shot an animal and you weren't 192 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: sure it was gonna be a lethal head, they would 193 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: put it down with a rifle immediately somewhere remote from 194 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: where the era was, so that we could dissect the 195 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: animal and look and see what the air had done, 196 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: make a determination would it have been lethal? Would it not? Um? 197 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: You know what happened? Why was it not lethal? Um? 198 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: And if we couldn't determine, they had a couple of 199 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: veteranarians on staff that we could take the animal back 200 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: into their shed. There the veteranarians were dissect them and 201 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: tell us exactly what they found if, you know, and 202 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: make a determination would it have been a lethal hit, 203 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: would have not? It was rather interesting experiment. Uh. It's 204 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: rare to get an opportunity to do that. All the 205 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 1: later research we had to do on freshly cold animals, 206 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: but all of that initial was done live animals, and 207 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: most of it was on Oh, we did a few 208 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: zebra and kudo and in y'alla, in Paula ward hogs. 209 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: Most of the initial study was done on smaller animals 210 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: other than the rhinos. And uh, what haven't you shot 211 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: at the rhino? They died? How quick? Uh? They were 212 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: a pretty good distance. The first one probably covered I 213 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: would say it probably at least a half mile. But 214 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: we have much better air setups now than we had then. 215 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: Then I'm working with no knowledge of of what's gonna 216 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: make the most effective ERA set up. All I could 217 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: go on was a little bit of historical data. There 218 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: wasn't and nobody had shot a white rhino. He's twice 219 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: as big as a black rhino. He's six thousand pounds 220 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: instead of three thousand. Uh. There had been a couple 221 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: of people shoot black rhinos. Um. Bill Nagley had shot one, 222 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: and Bob swine Hardy shot one. Uh. And of course 223 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: Howard Hill didn't do a rhino, but he'd done the 224 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: elephant and stuff like that. So I had to draw 225 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: on what I could find in their writings to try 226 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: to devise an error. And uh, um, I actually designed 227 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: a different era for the second time around. It was 228 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: one era hill and it went a little bit further. 229 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: It was a rather exciting story on him because I 230 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: shot him from from six ft away seven feet give 231 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: me away from my footprints to his with no rifle 232 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: back up. And so it was and that's the only 233 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: animal that's ever shaking me up. After it was over, 234 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 1: what was going on, as calms could be. After I 235 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: shot him, I shook like a leaf. Didn't know where 236 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: you were standing there. Well, it was an old bull 237 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: that had actually been d hornedy. Is actually bigger than 238 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: the first rhino, which was huge. Uh. It lived in 239 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: this one valley and said we were trying to take 240 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: off one of these old bulls but no longer breed. 241 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: And every time we would see him he would go 242 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: out and he'd go through this mountain pass. Well, we'd 243 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: gone out that morning. We dropped all the trackers off 244 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: on fresh tracks to gold look and see what kind 245 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: of rhino it was and which rhino it was. Uh, 246 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: see if it's one, we're going to go after night 247 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: and there was just Chris Freeman and I left. He's 248 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: one of the game Game War game rangers there and uh, 249 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: we came to that big basin and looked there was 250 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: that bull down there again. And Chris said, okay, now 251 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: he's done this to us several times, said, I'll give 252 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: you forty five minutes. Associated you go around to that 253 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: that cut he's going out in, you'll probably got the 254 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: same way. Then I'll try to stalk him real slow 255 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: and easy, just like we have and and he'll probably 256 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: push right out through there. And I did. So I 257 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: went up to that draw and it kept getting there, 258 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: and there in this real steep bank, like sixty degree 259 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: on both sides, and as you got it right up 260 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: to the end of it, it opened up into a 261 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: big white area. But they're at the end of it. 262 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: There's two trails. There's one that's about three ft up 263 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: on the side and one down in the bottom. And 264 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: I look and all the tracks are on the bottom. 265 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: So I said, well, there's nowhere where else to go. 266 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: I gotta stand on this upper track. And so I 267 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: get up standing there and I'm waiting and waiting pretty 268 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: soon and hear rocks rolling, rocks kicking. I'm sitting there 269 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: and I'm all ready and I cut my eyes around 270 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: and he's about twenty yards from me. On the upper 271 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: trail and he comes on and he gets about fifteen 272 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: yards or so from me, and he drops down to 273 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: the lower trail to come out, and he walks by 274 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: me as closest across this table. And because they're big, 275 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: you know, he's more than six and a half feet 276 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: at the shoulder. So we're right there together, and I 277 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: got nowhere to go. You know, there's I can't climb 278 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: this bank, can't run out that way, can't run that way. 279 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: And as a rhino, sorry, I don't even know, as 280 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: a rhino known to like cause problems with humans, like 281 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh yeah, they killed several people there, yes, 282 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: there where we were hunting. They had they had killed 283 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: several including one of the game rangers had been killed 284 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: by one stomping on him, goring him, stomping on him. 285 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: Most of they just hitch you and toss you around 286 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: a little, which is enough, you know, can can you? 287 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: I want to also want to back way up and 288 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: talk about when you were a kid, But um, before 289 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: I do that, you mentioned and being de horned. At 290 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: some point someone tranquilized them and cut can you can 291 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: you explain what you're explaining to me last night when 292 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: we're having dinner about the deal with the deal with 293 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: rhinos that can't breed. Yeah, the whole thing with rhinos 294 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: is that they will live. The bulls will live uh 295 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: way past their breeding age, but they will hold a territory. Now, 296 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: years ago, when there was all of Africa to rom 297 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: there's no problem bush, I'll find new territory. But now 298 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: there's people everywhere, a little islands of animals scattered around Africa, 299 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: so they have a limited habitat. So unless you go 300 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: take these old bulls off, the younger bulls can't establish 301 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: a territory. If they have no territory, they will not breede. 302 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: Territory pretty big, so they have to have a lot 303 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: of area. And as long as that dominant bull is 304 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: holding the territory, nobody gets to breathe. If he's past 305 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: his breeding age, does he still think he can breede? 306 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: He's just shooting blanks or no, Yeah he should be. 307 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: He's still shooting blanks. Yeah, he's he's now sterile at 308 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: him and he will live another ten or twelve years 309 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: holding that territory. So no breeding is going to go 310 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: on in that territory that he controls. So one way 311 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: around that has cut his horn off and he can't 312 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: defend it as well. Uh No, they cut it off. 313 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: They cut the horns off. Keep the poachers from killing 314 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: him doesn't work. The poachers will kill him for nub 315 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: of a horn. You have to keep cutting it off, 316 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: just right down to skin level. And even if it's 317 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: cut down the skin level, they followed up, find a 318 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: d hornman, they shoot it so they never ever have 319 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: to track it again. Yeah, So the poachers are a 320 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: major problem, and that's one of the nice things with 321 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: the hunting programming there is that the rhinos are so 322 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: expensive to hunt. They have a huge monetary value. So 323 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: that monetary value is both to the people that are 324 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: on the land because a portion of that money if 325 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: you're hunting on one of the camp fire areas something 326 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: like that, it's going to the local population, and of 327 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: course the meat's gonna all go to them too, Or 328 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: if it's a private landowner, which a lot of them 329 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: are on private ranches and so forth, it's a huge 330 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: amount of money to him. So they actually hire game 331 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: scouts out of their own pocket to go out and 332 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: try to keep the poachers under control. But if that 333 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: animal didn't have that economic value, they're not gonna lay 334 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: out all that money to hire game scouts to go 335 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: out and try to control the poachers. You've you've eaten 336 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: rhino and hippopotamus, and yeah, does all look like dear meat? Like, 337 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: what's it looks like? No? Actually, the the white rhino 338 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: is a grazer. He eats only grass, and uh and 339 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: the hippo same thing. They're they're both grazers and it's 340 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: very much like a range beef, grass fed beef. It's 341 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: very very similar meat and excellent meat, excellent eating. Uh. 342 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: You also mentioned I stay with that. We were talking 343 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,239 Speaker 1: about bullfrog hunting. Yeah, and you said you grew up 344 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: poor hunted for me? What was that all about? Like, 345 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: what were the circumstances and you're growing up? Well, you know, 346 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: my brother and I we we just thought it was 347 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: great fun. But uh, we were basically feeding the family 348 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: and you just didn't realize it. So we hunted all 349 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: the time, and uh dad was he was an r 350 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: rifle instructor and so we you know, I shot competition 351 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: in my first match when I was five years old, 352 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: and he used to when we were small. And I've 353 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: actually still got the twenty two five twenty one t 354 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: Remington's real small little match rifle. Uh. He gives us 355 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: one shell and you go out. If you kill something, 356 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: bring it back in and have another shell. You can 357 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: hunt all day. The first time you miss your through 358 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: for today, you can go back tomorrow start all over again. 359 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: What would you guys hunt for anything that moved? Uh? 360 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 1: Where where was that? Where did you go? East Texas? 361 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: East Texas? Ye? Yep? And you and you started in 362 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: on bow hunt early. Yeah really, I mean like both 363 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: early in terms of your age, but also early in 364 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: terms of oh yeah, bo hunt. My dad always talked like, 365 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: you know, he started bowl hunting in the fifties, you know, 366 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: and there weren't even both seasons and stuff. Yeah, there weren't. 367 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: There weren't any special both seasons early on. And there 368 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: were only two of us in the whole county that 369 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: uh they shot a bow many and the guy enterup 370 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: hunting with he was a World War two that named 371 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: James Hayes. And uh, we could shoot a bull frog 372 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: and get a picture on front page of the paper. 373 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: I mean big picture. It's a big time and because 374 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: people are just unfamiliar with it. Oh yeah, and we 375 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: did a lot of armor calling and stuff, and uh 376 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: James shot a bobcat one night, and lord, it took 377 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: up the whole front of the front page of the 378 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 1: paper stories about because a lot of people didn't know 379 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: we had bobcasts in these Texas. So it was great fun. 380 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: And then uh, we'd come down and we deer hunt. 381 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: And then when they did get a deer season going, Um, 382 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: Bob Lee had a lease that he established the first 383 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: bow hunting only lease in Texas if Wheelock, and we 384 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: hunted on that lease there with with Bob Lee. When 385 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: we see the first establishment, they were like the first 386 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: guys that thought to go pay for hunting excess. No, no, 387 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: people paid before that. But it was a lot cheaper 388 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: than it is now. I mean when I was because 389 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: you could go back in time and and and rubbed 390 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: that guy out. Yeah, when I was about maybe it 391 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: would never become a thing. Yeah, seven or eight years old. 392 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: We would come down to this area Rock Springs, Lanto, 393 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: Marble Falls all through there. Our lease year round lease 394 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: was ten dollars. So we'd come down, we'd fished, we 395 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: squirrel hunt, we turkey hunt, so that that was a 396 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: whole year round lease was ten dollars. Uh, So it's 397 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: changed a good bit. Now. Even back then, were you 398 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: interested in uh? I mean, I'm sure you were interested, 399 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: But when when did you first start getting interesting like 400 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: tinkering with well, I'm taking with Archer equipment. Oh what 401 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: really got me interested in it was when Howard Hall 402 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: made the movie Timber. He toured the United States doing 403 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: going to schools, doing shooting exhibitions to let people know 404 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: there's the movie in town. And I got to see 405 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: Howard Hills shoot and uh, things that wouldn't let you 406 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: do now, you know. We're all on the auditorium there, 407 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: and and the opening thing was the targets up on 408 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: the stage and he comes through the doors the back 409 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,719 Speaker 1: and shooting airs over everybody's head into the target up 410 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: on stage. And that was back in the day where 411 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: he'd have assistance, you know, whole stuff and shoot it 412 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: out of their hands and put it on the head 413 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: and shoot it off their head. So they would go 414 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: nuts for stuff like that. Now, wasn't it Burrows? William? 415 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: Was it William Burrows that shot his wife trying to 416 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: shoot Apple's off her head? Oh goodness, I do not 417 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: now know. Tropical tropic of cancer and tropic capricorn author, 418 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: wasn't that hill they got the drink in one night? 419 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: H So that guy like his big deal was he 420 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: went he was the first guy to shoot up I 421 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: don't know about the first see that's the weird part 422 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: about it, Like the first guy to shoot an elephant 423 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: with a bow. But there's research now that suggests that 424 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:24,479 Speaker 1: the bowl had been invented. Oh perhaps you know, I 425 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: know they say the bow and arrow was invented multiple 426 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: times around the world, correct, like independently, but perhaps away 427 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: long time agoing after was somebody probably killed some yeah, yeah, 428 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: and you do have you know tribes there uh in 429 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: East Africa that like the Hogsa and so forth, uh 430 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: As they hunt with poison eras. But historically there's four 431 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: back of people to remember, uh. They would build these 432 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: deep cuts into the banks going down to the rivers 433 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: so that hippo and elephant could go down there and 434 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: they could stand above of them and shoot them as 435 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: they came through these cuts. And and who knows how 436 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: far backs that goes. And with poison arrors, it's poison 437 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: arrors sometimes you know, it might take them forty eight 438 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: hours to die, but they fought just following the animals. 439 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 1: He dies Yeah, there's an old documentary I've seen. You've 440 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: probably seen it where these these boys go out and 441 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: uh stick a draft with a poison arrow. And the 442 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: documentary a friend of mine was, she's an anthropologist that 443 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: she was doing work in African She sent this thing 444 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: to me um and they just spent a couple of 445 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 1: days trailing after it eventually gets pretty sick. Yeah, that's 446 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: basically what they did. Kind of stands there, sweating and 447 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: convulsion and whatnot, and they can finally go on and 448 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: kill it, but they stuck with it for days. Well, 449 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: that's why you have great, great trackers. And of course 450 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: the best trackers that are laughter probably probably the Bushman 451 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: and the Hodza, these tribes that hunt with with the 452 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 1: poison arress. Uh. There's not a lot of great trackers 453 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: left in Africa. There's some. They would be great by 454 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: our standards, because very few people in this country can 455 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: track anything. They have trouble tracking something through the snow. 456 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: It's really pretty sad. But some of the I've had 457 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: the opportunity to work with some trackers that were just unbelievable, uh, 458 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: that literally could track animals across what looked like bare rock. 459 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: I'm a pretty fair tracker. But they would they would 460 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: draw a circle, says right here, and they would explain 461 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: what they're seeing, and I still couldn't see it. And 462 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: I'm not a bad tracker. Uh, some of them are. 463 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: Just it seems super human, it really does. But there's 464 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: not many of those trackers left. Did you get into 465 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: medical school through the military? Drafted? I was drafted in 466 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: the last draft we ever had, the United States Special 467 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: Draft called forty four. All the medical people. Yeah, that 468 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: one of the one when they started drawing numbers and 469 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: it matches up to your last name and whatnot ever 470 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: won in my life was a draft lottery and they 471 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: so they drafted you. But you were already a med student. 472 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: I was already out of school. Oh I got you. Yeah, 473 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: I was deferred from the draft while you're in school 474 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: and then got out. Okay your numbers up? Yeah? Did that? 475 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: Did all that knowledge of anatomy and everything? Uh? That 476 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: you were trained and when you're in school did that all? 477 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: Do you think that that led you to start becoming 478 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: interested in air lethality? Uh? No, I was always interested. 479 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: You know, we were a hunting family, and common topics 480 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: would be terminal ballistics of cartridges and bullets and things 481 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: like that. And even from the very start, we'd shoot 482 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: an animal and um, you know, Dad warned us to 483 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: dissect it to see what the bullet did, recover the 484 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: bullet we possibly could, and so forth. And I got 485 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: into bow hunting, and uh, I didn't think a whole 486 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: lot about it really until I've been hunting twenty five 487 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: years or so, and all with traditional equipment, and I decided, okay, 488 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: it's about nine eighty, I'm gonna get a compound. Now, 489 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 1: you know, everybody's going the compounds and the amount of 490 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: improvement you had in the bow and how accurate you 491 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: could be with it and everything. So I read what 492 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: I could find new magazines and this that bought into it. 493 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: Whole hall got uh it was a garden uh compound 494 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: and you got some light errors and some multi blade 495 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: replaceable blade broad heads. So they had those even in 496 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty. Oh yeah, they had a placeable broadheads are 497 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: already replaceable blade heads were oh yeah, very common then. Yeah, 498 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: And was trying to remember like some of the ones, 499 00:27:54,440 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, thunderheads, remember having a thunderhead and what was 500 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: the one hit six blades? Razor back had five and 501 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: like that plastic Yeah, I had kind of that plastic 502 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: combing wing on the front. Fake, I interjected, just real quick, 503 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: it'll drive my dad nuts if we don't introduce our 504 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: other two guests real quick. Sure, you just introduce yourself, 505 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: tell us what you do. Go ahead. Second, Todd Smith, 506 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: I'm with Grizzly Stick Garrett Sleef, owner a Grizzly Stick Arrows, 507 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: and we've been working with Doc on his research for 508 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: a long time years, So we're starting with your dad, 509 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: starting back with two generations of working on this stuff. 510 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: And we were kind of the first guys to really 511 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: look at what he was brilliant and then try to 512 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: build equipment following what what he was doing. So we 513 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: didn't really have a roadmap. It was just more of yeah, 514 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: and we were learning news. We went well, I mean 515 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: we were still learning lots of it. We've learned lots. 516 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: There's still a lot of unanswered questions. Yep. Thank you 517 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: appreciated it. Yep. So when do you uh was your 518 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: first was that deal when you went to shoot the 519 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: rhino in South Africa? Was toying with getting uh? Both season? Yeah? 520 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: What year were they thinking about doing that? And they 521 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: ultimately did it right, we went eight four and eighty five. 522 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: I shouldn't say a bow season they're gonna legalize, Yeah, 523 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: but the I mean, it's it's surprising to me that 524 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: they even had at that time. A lot of countries 525 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: in Africa probably didn't. They probably hadn't prohibited it because 526 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: they didn't have that you could legally hunt. Were places 527 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: that were signing on on ways and means there's the 528 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: only place you could legally bow hunt. That law in 529 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: South Africa was the first affirmative bow winting law in 530 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: Africa in si So prior to that, prior they had 531 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: spelled out what leader was no place that it set 532 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: is legal to bow hunt. So if you want, if 533 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: you look at look at those early hunts that everybody did, 534 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: like Bob Swinehard and Howard Hill. Uh they did him 535 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: up in Kenya which was still open then Uh, Tanzania 536 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: and Mozambi all places that were silent. That's where like 537 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: the adeladdle crowd drifts off to Alaska. Yeah, or that 538 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: dude that wanted to kill a barrow the spear like 539 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: she went somewhere in the Mississippi. Then after they did that, 540 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: they clarified it that in fact, you can't kill a 541 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: barrow to spear and yeah, yeah, I got you. So 542 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: South Africa was the first place in Africa to decide 543 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: to do after we did all decide, presented it all 544 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: to the parks board. Uh, they legalized bow hunting and 545 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,719 Speaker 1: then it's just Domino, you know. Then it was Zimbabwe 546 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: and it was Zambia and it wasn't a maybe. Uh 547 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: and it just went on and on because they were 548 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: afraid of lose in business. So yeah, well once they say, hey, 549 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: you know these people getting this bow hunting money in, 550 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: so you know they're making foreign you know, for X 551 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: is coming in. Uh, let's get on the bandwagon here 552 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: and get some of this. When you earlier mentioned getting 553 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: into compound bows and you said, like you bought into 554 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: you bought into all that, bought into all? What to 555 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: the light fast arass you know? And U what I 556 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: had beamons, remember little skinny beamons, And that year I 557 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: hit and lost four deer. I had never done that, 558 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: So I said, something's wrong. So I did what I 559 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: would have done with a rifle. I said, you know, 560 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: unless research, somebody who's got to research what works what 561 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: doesn't other than just reading a magazine and seeing what 562 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: you know, the companies are advertising and stuff is being pushed. 563 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: So I was looking for stuff like Chamberlain's work with 564 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: rifles and you know, some some honest research. Nothing, it 565 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: didn't exist. So I decided, okay, I'm gonna have to 566 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: find out for myself. And now this was about you know, 567 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: early ages before the Tall thing came up. So I 568 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: was already started doing stuff and looking at what was 569 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: happening before the the Tall thing. Well, when the Tall 570 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: thing just really kicked started me. Now I had a database. 571 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: I mean, we had to really collect data to do 572 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: these reports for the Tall Parks Board. Well the time 573 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: we did than the Tall study, I had more questions 574 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: than I did when I started that. And I found 575 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: that all the way through twenty six years of research 576 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: is every time I do and you set a test, 577 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: I end up with a new set of questions of 578 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: things to look at, and I'm still not through. That's 579 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: why we established the foundation because after I hurt my back, 580 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: I can't do anymore. Uh So somebody had to take over. 581 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: And you're not gonna find any idiots like me. I 582 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: did all of eye out of my own pocket. Every era, 583 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: every Broadhead, every feather, everything was purchased by myself. I 584 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: won't to stay independent of the archery industry. Wish we 585 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: still do. We do not take donations from archery companies 586 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: things like that. Yeah, noticing on your boy's website, the 587 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: Grizzly Stick website, there's a note on the bottom that says, uh, 588 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: because you have an asked me Broadhead yep, but a 589 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: note on the bomb says you won't take any money 590 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: from that Broadhead. Nope, not even a little bit. Nope. 591 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: That was hard. That was part of the agreement. That 592 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: was everybody, I wouldn't use my name on it. Yeah, 593 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: and I'm not that smart, but I got I'm like, 594 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: that sounds like a pretty good deal. Yeah. The other 595 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: covenants on there was not at all. The other covenant was, 596 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: when we do the testing, if the Broadhead works, you 597 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: pull use my name on it YEA, with a disclaimer 598 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: that I don't receive any funds out at it. Because 599 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: unless you stay totally independent of industry, your research is tainted. 600 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of stuff out there, a lot 601 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: of wound lost studies that were financed by the archery 602 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: industry that come up with these incredibly low wounding rates 603 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: by archery standards. They're showing. All of the studies that 604 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: were independently done by game departments all show almost a 605 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 1: one to one race. I would say, I would say 606 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: it with and I would say with Elkin America, I 607 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: definitely say that that's the case. I think it is 608 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: just about everything. And I guided while I was in Africa. 609 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: I did quiet particularly there's bow hunters. I'm sort of 610 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: a freelance guide, so you know, if they had too 611 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: many clients, I would go in or if they had 612 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: bow hunting clients because there was almost nobody over there 613 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 1: and anything about bow hunting that I would go in 614 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: and work with whoever with their bow hunting clients. And 615 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 1: I would say it's definitely it least one to one 616 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,280 Speaker 1: in Africa, whether the equipment that people were bringing and using. 617 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: Yet you can cut it down to almost nothing as 618 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: I got towards the better error systems. UH. Out of 619 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,280 Speaker 1: the last twenty five years where I have actual records 620 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: tracking the animals that I've killed, there's six hundred and 621 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: twenty seven animals, four lost animals four. I get that, 622 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: but like it has so much to do with ask 623 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: your question about consistency, Yanni, because it has so much 624 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: to do with like, did you punch a hole through 625 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: its heart? Like if you're if you're a very good 626 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: archer taking very close shots, you're gonna have a very 627 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: high recovery rate. You can't really always do that. I 628 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: was a ground hunter. I've shot a few animals out 629 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: of tree stands up, but very few stalker. Now, stalkers 630 00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: don't necessarily get set up shots. Now, my whole goal 631 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: from the get go was to find the most effective 632 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: error system you could possibly use, because a lot of 633 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 1: the shots I took were shots that they're not broadside shots, 634 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:19,240 Speaker 1: you know, they're long quartering shots facing you, shots moving animals, 635 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: you know. I used to when I was a kid. 636 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: I mean, we shot a lot of moving targets. Animals 637 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: just as big moving as he is standing still. Target 638 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: size is still the same. So I didn't have too 639 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: much trouble at all shooting moving animals. Now. We used 640 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: to do a lot of bird hunting and stuff flying birds. Uh, weller, 641 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: both didn't hit a lot of them. It's got a 642 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: lot of practice running rabbits in front of dogs, and 643 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: you can get pretty good on running shots, good enough 644 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: to shoot big animals. A big animal actually gets pretty 645 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: easy after you, you know, practice on stuff like that. 646 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: Nobody does that kind of stuff anymore, um. And you know, 647 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,800 Speaker 1: there were some things in there that I didn't have, 648 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: a lot of animals that were gut shots. I've never 649 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 1: lost a gut shot as I got into these better 650 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: era setups. But a lot of that's careful management of 651 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: after the shot, of leaving it long enough, of stalking 652 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 1: the trail, you know, and and not spooking just like 653 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 1: you're hunting the animal again to find it. And most 654 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: of the time, if you give them eight, ten, twelve hours, 655 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 1: they're dead. Um. As a matter of fact, I don't 656 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: think I've ever had one go beyond about a hundred 657 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: and sixty yards when I didn't pursue him. He feels bad, 658 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: he lays down, You give him time, and he will 659 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: bleed out. There's a lot of think of your digestive system. 660 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: There is a lot of blood vessels in there carrying 661 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: away all this digestive food, nutrients and so forth. And 662 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 1: the single bevel heads that rotate actually will wind intestines 663 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: up around them, and you get a thing called a 664 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,879 Speaker 1: starbursts cut. Now, I didn't know this. TI was doing 665 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: a lot of the research. But you'll get cuts that 666 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,839 Speaker 1: are five or six inches away from the path where 667 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: the air went through, where it's wound stuff up around 668 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: it and made all these little cuts. And I was 669 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: doing that by taking die in a syringe and injecting 670 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: it into the intestines and looking at them where the 671 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: dye is coming out, And so you get these huge 672 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 1: starbursts cuts in mobile tissues, and you get some of 673 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,280 Speaker 1: that effect even in lung tissues, where it just almost 674 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:38,359 Speaker 1: liquefies the lungs just MUSHes it up. And I've got 675 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: a lot of photos of dear that you will look 676 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,879 Speaker 1: at and think they were shot with a rifle because 677 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 1: of the amount of blood shot tissue. You do not 678 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:53,240 Speaker 1: get that with double bevel heads. Let's save the double 679 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: and single bevel you you want to get into that 680 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 1: right now. I want to get into grains, all right, 681 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: explain that you are we there? Yeah? Have we covered 682 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 1: off on enough of like how we how doc did 683 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: the studies? No? Okay? But for people that aren't real 684 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 1: familiar with aero setups, that's true. I think that when 685 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: he's talking about aero setups, I think people need to 686 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: know what he's talking About's true, that's true. Um, it's 687 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: an arcane unit of measurement. But explain what a grain 688 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: is because we're gonna talk a lot about grains. Well, 689 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: it is a unit of measure, and there's seven thousand 690 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 1: grains to a pound. What is that based off just 691 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: counting up powder grains? Well, I'm not counting grains, but 692 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: that's where the unit of measure works out. That's what 693 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 1: a grain is. Yeah, but it's got seven thousands of 694 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: a pounds. It's an English measure moment, it's got to 695 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: be something like some dude took a pound, some dude 696 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: took a pound of like granulated powder or something. No, no, 697 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,439 Speaker 1: it came from actual like seeds or whatever. I don't know. Yeah, 698 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,280 Speaker 1: I don't remember which one of the stage, but together 699 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 1: a unit, it came from like a foot about as 700 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: long as your foot. Yeah, So that's where all these 701 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: weird English stuff comes from. Is you know, what's the 702 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: cloth yard? What's the foot? What's the yard? Yeah? You 703 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: know there's a clay nucom our colleague. He's telling me 704 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 1: there's an old unit of measurement called the eel. How 705 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: it's spelled, and it's No, it's a deer neck. It's 706 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,879 Speaker 1: a sack made out of it. It's a sack made 707 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: from a deer's neck. And you would and they would 708 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: put how you would sell tallo, you would sell tallow 709 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: in it, and it would be an eel. We're trying 710 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 1: to start a cryptocurrency called we're trying to start a 711 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 1: cryptocurrency called bear grease, and it's gonna trade and eels. 712 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: That'd be good bear greacy, useful stuff. This. We got 713 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 1: a whole plan for this cryptocurrency. Man, it's gonna a 714 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 1: little bit point out of the water. Uh. Okay, So 715 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,920 Speaker 1: seven thousand grains to a what can you give it 716 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: in like fractions of it converted to metric or or 717 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: don't you know how to do that? On top of 718 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: your head? Four hundred and what is it? Thirty something? Tom, 719 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 1: It's something like that. It's four thirty something. Okay, I 720 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,279 Speaker 1: can't remember exactly what point. Uh, let's say the point 721 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,320 Speaker 1: being this, most broadheads today, most like when you go 722 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 1: online and buy broadheads, um, you'll hit a little drop 723 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: down menu and it's virtually certain that they're gonna be 724 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: available on one tens and hundred was if they got 725 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 1: to that'll be the two right, yeah, um, and those 726 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,720 Speaker 1: are what I mean they're they're not an ounce fractions 727 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: of an ounce and then the arrow explain arrow weeight 728 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 1: like like like you're like, what would be the most 729 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: like currently day most guys going into their archery shop 730 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 1: and buying arrows for a contemporary compound set up or 731 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: buying arrows, and what would you say is three. It's 732 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: about where they're gonna be, and that is people maximizing speed. Well, 733 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: speed has been pushed. Kinnetic energy has been pushed to 734 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: get connetic energy because the formulas squares the velocity. It 735 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,280 Speaker 1: looks really good as sells speed cells. And the industry 736 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 1: has pushed this stuff since the nineteen fifties when the 737 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: Allen compound first came out, and then the Jennings compound 738 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 1: and and those were the first of the compound bows 739 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 1: and uh, they were so much faster than traditional bows. 740 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 1: And then as they got them faster and faster and faster. 741 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,400 Speaker 1: This is what people buy. I met a guy at 742 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: the archery range when it was out tuning Eras in 743 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: Australia who had just bought a new bowl because this 744 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: new bowl was four ft per second faster than his 745 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 1: old boat. He spent on this boat to get four 746 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 1: ft per second m HM, which is not gonna make 747 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: a bit of difference. It is the error that kills. 748 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: I'd be much happier to go out here and there's 749 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,800 Speaker 1: no onld Indians. It's the arrow that kills, but it 750 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: doesn't kill land on the ground. You have to once 751 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: it's in fly. He didn't know what launched it care 752 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 1: like damn sure knows how fast it's going. It knows 753 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,359 Speaker 1: how fast it's going and how much force has got, 754 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 1: but it doesn't take as much as you think it 755 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 1: does to get it to perform. Still, it's still, it's 756 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 1: gonna be moving. It's gotta be moving. Moving one mile 757 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 1: an hour isn't gonna do it. So there's a point. 758 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 1: I mean, there's an argument to be made for it 759 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: moving really fast. Well, there's a argument to be made 760 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:57,680 Speaker 1: for not moving fast. It's moving at late speed. The 761 00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: resistance quadruple as the speed doubles. Example is go down 762 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 1: the road at thirty miles an hour and stick your 763 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 1: hand out the wind and field of resistance. Now go 764 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,800 Speaker 1: sixty and field of resistance. Now go ninety and field 765 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: of resistance it goes up as the square of the 766 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,919 Speaker 1: velocity inquiries, so you get at ninety, you've got nine 767 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 1: times of resistance you have at thirty. One of the 768 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 1: things we're finding because we get all his data back 769 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 1: in from thousands of hunters over Buffalo shot now and 770 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 1: over a hundred elephants with these era setups, we're seeing 771 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:48,560 Speaker 1: more passed through shots with bows sub seventy pound film 772 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 1: war with heavier draw eight bows. That's one of the 773 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 1: things we're gonna research. Something's happening. We don't know what, 774 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: but there it's a significant difference in the number of 775 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: passed through shots. Is it the tissue resistance going up 776 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 1: at the higher veloss Like, is it more flexional in 777 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 1: the shaft on the shafts not stiff enough to handle 778 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 1: the impact at the higher force? You know what? What 779 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 1: is it? We got to find out that's less one 780 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 1: of the things on our list of research. Okay, Yanni 781 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,800 Speaker 1: asked all about the research now. So man, there's a 782 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,800 Speaker 1: lot of questions right now because I think you just 783 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,320 Speaker 1: very quickly because numerous times now you've said, like the 784 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 1: arrow set ups that we're using now, So we sort 785 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,800 Speaker 1: of Steve laid out what the what like a contemporary 786 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 1: you know in this crowd seems to be an insufficient 787 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: arrow set up. So explain what the what a sufficient 788 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,240 Speaker 1: arrow set up is? Now that what we're talking about. 789 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 1: And then also on the heels of that, tell me 790 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,400 Speaker 1: when when all these other archers are sending in this 791 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 1: information and data points, I want to know, like, is 792 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 1: it just like a phone call and they're sort of 793 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 1: giving you, like the anecdotal story of what happened or 794 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: is it literally they have a form? Don't that they 795 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 1: fell out for you. I've tried having other people collect 796 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 1: form dat I was called out the forms and stuff, 797 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 1: and you can't get people do it. It's a lot 798 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 1: of work. They just won't do it. It's just too much. 799 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,799 Speaker 1: Pictures you get, pictures you get. We get a lot 800 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,360 Speaker 1: of dissection pictures though people. I try to push that 801 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 1: if I could get every hunter, every bow hunter, to 802 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 1: just dissect the animals he shoots and look at what 803 00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 1: has happened. But more importantly, if he ever get the 804 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 1: chance to dissect the unsuccessful shots to find out when 805 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 1: they want they fail, That's where you really learned something. 806 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 1: Successful shot didn't tell me much. But anytime there's an 807 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 1: unsuccessful shot, it gives you an opportunity to find out 808 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:51,799 Speaker 1: what happened, why did it fail? And that's really where 809 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,920 Speaker 1: you learn to develop these better error systems. If I 810 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 1: take what I like to call a penetration maximized ERA 811 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: and put it against what I would consider a good error, 812 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 1: better than what most people are shooting today, I can 813 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:14,879 Speaker 1: more than triple the penetration. That's fifteen inches and set 814 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:19,840 Speaker 1: of five are thirty inches instead of ten. That's a 815 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 1: big difference penetration. We've got people out there with women 816 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 1: with with low forty pound compounds getting five and six 817 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 1: ft of penetration on things like eating on quartering shots. 818 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,479 Speaker 1: It's incredible. Explain the aerra set ups that they're using. 819 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 1: Those those ERA setups are very high FOC because most 820 00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:47,239 Speaker 1: of them are short drawals. Would would normally bet or 821 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:51,920 Speaker 1: more with the ERA set ups that they're using. FOC 822 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 1: that's the weight forward the center and uh we actually 823 00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: established munch those because traditionally you had you know, a 824 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,640 Speaker 1: low FOC in a normal FOC, which was you know, 825 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 1: eight or nine percent, and then a high one which 826 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:12,120 Speaker 1: was fifteen and sometimes as much as eight. And as 827 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:13,920 Speaker 1: I got into the research, I had to develop some 828 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,760 Speaker 1: names for other stuff. So we went into extreme FOC, 829 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,760 Speaker 1: which is from nineteen on up to thirty and above 830 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,839 Speaker 1: thirty we call ultra extreme. Now, the reason I come 831 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,719 Speaker 1: up with those names was real quick to explain the 832 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 1: percentage of talking about that's how much the weight the 833 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,320 Speaker 1: balance point of the area is full of the center 834 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 1: of the era, the physical center. Yeah, but how do 835 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,400 Speaker 1: you I don't understand how it's reflected in percentages and 836 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 1: not is the is the percentage that it is forward 837 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,400 Speaker 1: to the center, and then you count from the knock 838 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 1: to the front of the broadhood the shaf you can 839 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 1: use there. They are both methods are used, but the 840 00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 1: AMO standard is from the throw to the knock to 841 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,080 Speaker 1: the end of the shaft, does not include the head. 842 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 1: About the overall set up you're talking about the erralf 843 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 1: I prefer that one because if you take the same 844 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 1: era and you put a field point on it and 845 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,359 Speaker 1: a broad head on it, they're gonna be different links 846 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 1: and you're count with different FOC percentages. The FOC we 847 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:20,080 Speaker 1: measure is a relative term, just like the static spine 848 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,960 Speaker 1: of an era. It does not tell you much dynamically. 849 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,879 Speaker 1: FOC actually is an aeronautical term and it's how far 850 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,760 Speaker 1: the center of gravity is from the center of pressure 851 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 1: of an object in flight. M hm. So we've just 852 00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 1: used that picked it up an archery because it gives 853 00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 1: us a rough idea. Now with it works the same 854 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,280 Speaker 1: way with a plane. The higher the FOC with the plane, 855 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 1: the more stable the plane is in flight, the harder 856 00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,520 Speaker 1: it is to turn the plane. The lower the foc, 857 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,920 Speaker 1: the more maneuverable it is. Well, which one do you 858 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: want your error? You want your error going all over 859 00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 1: the place? Do you want it only if you have 860 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:06,200 Speaker 1: a saying where it's going? You want possible? But now 861 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 1: I like to listen to that analogy before and something 862 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 1: that I was listening to you speak, and yeah, it's 863 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,799 Speaker 1: like a fighter jet. As the foc is very low 864 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:20,360 Speaker 1: take F twenty two. Rafter can almost fly sideways. But 865 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 1: a human cannot fly it. He has to have a 866 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:27,600 Speaker 1: computer to do it. It's that unstable. But you take 867 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 1: uh k C one thirty all that it has a 868 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:37,319 Speaker 1: high weight forward as stable as can be. Probably can 869 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,080 Speaker 1: sit there and turn loose of it for two or 870 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:43,560 Speaker 1: three medicine talk to you it is that's the big difference, 871 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,360 Speaker 1: and that's one of the benefits of high foc in 872 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,600 Speaker 1: an era. An era is always once it leaves the boat, 873 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 1: it's always flying. The medium that it goes through changes 874 00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,839 Speaker 1: It flies through the air, it flies through the skin, 875 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,360 Speaker 1: and it flies through the audipose tissue, through the muscle, 876 00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,200 Speaker 1: through the bone, all the way through. The animal is 877 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 1: still flying until it comes to stop. It's flying even 878 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 1: when it hits the dirt. As long as this movie 879 00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:16,040 Speaker 1: is still flying, it's just flying through dirt now, so 880 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: you have to get the concept of what it's doing. 881 00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,879 Speaker 1: This stability carries on through the animal. This is where 882 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,360 Speaker 1: it really makes a difference in terminal ballistics. To have 883 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,160 Speaker 1: that high foc is we now have a very stable 884 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 1: era that is much more difficult to redirect. To have 885 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,239 Speaker 1: hit a bone and glance off at an angle so 886 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,280 Speaker 1: higher we get the foc. It makes a huge difference. 887 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,480 Speaker 1: Now it makes no difference in the testing we have 888 00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 1: so far, makes no difference as far as penetrating a 889 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:54,560 Speaker 1: heavy bone. That depends totally on the weight of the 890 00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,760 Speaker 1: air how long he is able to push on the bone. 891 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 1: But once it breaches the bone, the foc comes into play, 892 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,880 Speaker 1: and that's where you get a huge increase in post 893 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 1: breaching penetration the archery industry's reluctance to look at what 894 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:28,680 Speaker 1: you have. You're divorced from the industry intentionally. Um, they're 895 00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,399 Speaker 1: coming around though, Yeah, but I mean are you how 896 00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,319 Speaker 1: were you making your own broadheads? And like, how are 897 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,640 Speaker 1: you testing different setups that didn't exist if the archery 898 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,640 Speaker 1: industry didn't produce them. Uh. The only single bevel was 899 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:44,319 Speaker 1: out there was the Grizzly and I used a lot 900 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 1: of and that's not what they made is different when 901 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:51,319 Speaker 1: Harry Elberd used to make um and Uh, I mean 902 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,239 Speaker 1: the way the different way arrows. How are you making those? 903 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,120 Speaker 1: I was building them up, I was waiting the eras 904 00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,960 Speaker 1: there all sorts of different things like drilling them out 905 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 1: and filling them and stuff. Uh. Some I feel some 906 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 1: were double shafted eras. Uh, some internally footed eras. Uh. 907 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,480 Speaker 1: All sorts of ways to increase the weight on there. 908 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,399 Speaker 1: And uh yes, Uh in the early days, I made 909 00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,320 Speaker 1: a lot of the uh when they weren't available, steal inserts, 910 00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,920 Speaker 1: brass inserts, had people make them for me. Machinist. I'm 911 00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 1: lon't good enough to make them. Uh, I see, but 912 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,840 Speaker 1: that's what I was curious, Like so you had to 913 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:29,479 Speaker 1: be You were testing things that didn't technically not didn't exist. 914 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,880 Speaker 1: You were testing things that weren't available on the market, 915 00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 1: right because I was finding as I would do a 916 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:38,000 Speaker 1: test and I would say, Okay, we need to look 917 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,319 Speaker 1: at this, and we need to look at this. Well, 918 00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:45,320 Speaker 1: this isn't available for all that out of pocket. Everybody 919 00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 1: at it, even having hardness. You get married, to have kids, uh, 920 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:55,160 Speaker 1: married twice, divorce twice. I learned what they think? What 921 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,600 Speaker 1: do they think about all that arrowhead buying and all that? Uh, 922 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:03,960 Speaker 1: I'm divorced twice. Probably How long did you stay married? 923 00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 1: The longest thirteen years? Yeah, yeah, the next one was 924 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,480 Speaker 1: three years. I got smarter factors. I just had my 925 00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:18,640 Speaker 1: thirteenth anniversary. Yeah. So you were saying that the current 926 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,320 Speaker 1: the heavy aerosystems that you like high FOC. Can you 927 00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:26,360 Speaker 1: explained FOC, but then explain the rest of the aero system? Okay, 928 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 1: there are actually if you look on our website, we'll 929 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:34,279 Speaker 1: go through them in detail there Hunting Foundation. Yes, you 930 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,719 Speaker 1: can go through the twelve factors that are there. We 931 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,719 Speaker 1: also have all of the updates that we did through 932 00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,719 Speaker 1: the years. Now when people start reading those and there's 933 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,560 Speaker 1: a lot of pages of them. They need to read 934 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,360 Speaker 1: the whole thing because some of the things early on 935 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,400 Speaker 1: that I look at the research and the data that 936 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,080 Speaker 1: we had in sent low, you know, it indicates it 937 00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 1: might be this, might be that. But we learned stuff 938 00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,000 Speaker 1: as we go along and things get better and better, 939 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,399 Speaker 1: are better um as we as we do get more 940 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:07,120 Speaker 1: information on it, so we would find these new things 941 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,840 Speaker 1: that that need to be looked at. Man, that's just 942 00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,160 Speaker 1: what we had to do. And if we had to 943 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,680 Speaker 1: build something, we built it. You know, it's just what 944 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,240 Speaker 1: you did. The hardest part was coming up with shafty 945 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:23,760 Speaker 1: no good shafts, and and the long process of every 946 00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:28,640 Speaker 1: era that we've used in the study is teamed uh 947 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:33,520 Speaker 1: bear shaft team, every one of them. Because without that, 948 00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,560 Speaker 1: that's one of the high factors is you've got to 949 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 1: have structural integrity the era. That's the most important thing. 950 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,759 Speaker 1: Without that, it doesn't matter if it flies perfect, where 951 00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,280 Speaker 1: do you hit the animal? Nothing. If that aer breaks 952 00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,040 Speaker 1: or part of it breaks when it hits the animal, 953 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,839 Speaker 1: every everything's lost. You've got no control over what's happening. 954 00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,880 Speaker 1: You're probably gonna lose an animal. Uh. And then you 955 00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,399 Speaker 1: have to have perfect flight. Now those two things ever 956 00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,840 Speaker 1: ever change. So you got to go through all this 957 00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:08,120 Speaker 1: long tuning process for every error before you start testing it, 958 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:12,080 Speaker 1: or your testing is no good mm hmm. And then 959 00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 1: you go down through all of the other factors, and 960 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 1: each factor they'll compound each other so that this factor 961 00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:25,160 Speaker 1: has a certain percentage gain and this factor has a 962 00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: certain percentage gain. Well, if you've got one of them there, 963 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,160 Speaker 1: you've got this game. When this game kicks in, it 964 00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 1: takes in a portion of this game, so it keeps 965 00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 1: adding up as you go to more and more factors. Two, 966 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:40,680 Speaker 1: if you want to get the most out of it, 967 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,680 Speaker 1: you incorporate as many of the factors you can. But 968 00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:47,400 Speaker 1: the important thing is that anything you do out of 969 00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 1: these factors to your error setup is gonna make it better. 970 00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,160 Speaker 1: And you have twelve factors. Yeah, we have twelve factors 971 00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:59,279 Speaker 1: in there. Can you go through some of them? If 972 00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 1: I get my note so out, I can, because we're 973 00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:07,360 Speaker 1: gonna do that later today, because I'll forget all their 974 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:11,520 Speaker 1: ranking relative order. If you took in all shots together, 975 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:17,160 Speaker 1: the ranking will change under certain situations. For instance, the 976 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,320 Speaker 1: heavy bone threshold is right at the bottom of the 977 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 1: list because it's not important unless you hit a heavy bone. 978 00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:27,560 Speaker 1: But when you hit a heavy bone, it'll jump to 979 00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:33,760 Speaker 1: the number three position. And so there is some movement 980 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,800 Speaker 1: in these things depending on the shot. That's why you incorporate. 981 00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:39,120 Speaker 1: You don't know what's gonna happen on a shot. The 982 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:43,400 Speaker 1: animal's gonna move, it's rare. We've got a lot of 983 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:47,560 Speaker 1: video footage here in Texas shooting hogs and deer and stuff. 984 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:53,400 Speaker 1: Uh compounds, fast compounds, slow compounds, traditional bones, so forth. 985 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,520 Speaker 1: We don't have a video of an animal that does 986 00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 1: not move before the air gets there. And most of 987 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:03,280 Speaker 1: these yards m hm. So if you look at it 988 00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:07,560 Speaker 1: in slow motion, the animals in motion, in motion, in motion, 989 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,920 Speaker 1: in response to the bow noise. Yes, and most of 990 00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,800 Speaker 1: the time it's a duck and roll away. Duck can 991 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,760 Speaker 1: roll away from the source of the north from the source, 992 00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,680 Speaker 1: but not always. Sometimes they'll completely reverse only sometimes they'll 993 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:25,000 Speaker 1: actually turn into it. But there's always some movement going 994 00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: on in there. Really, there's not a single video of 995 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:34,520 Speaker 1: an animal not reacting at all. Now, only times I've 996 00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:38,360 Speaker 1: ever seen animals not react at all to the shot 997 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,160 Speaker 1: was on a very long range shot. That's all been 998 00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:46,960 Speaker 1: small game varmint shooting, varmint calling that kind of stuff, 999 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:51,600 Speaker 1: uh where they might not hear, but we were going 1000 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:53,840 Speaker 1: to do more. I've done a little bit of research 1001 00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:58,160 Speaker 1: looking at air noise, and you can quiet down an 1002 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:03,360 Speaker 1: air a lot by different types of fletching. And we've 1003 00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,240 Speaker 1: worked out of fletching that we call an A and 1004 00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:09,520 Speaker 1: a fleshing very small triangular shape. It will only work 1005 00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:12,880 Speaker 1: with very high foc aras the higher you've got the 1006 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,520 Speaker 1: foc you now have a long rear steering arm on 1007 00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:21,800 Speaker 1: the air, so it does not take much fletching to 1008 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,840 Speaker 1: overcome the wind share of the broad head. It's way 1009 00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:28,240 Speaker 1: you bear shaft tuned. If it shoots perfectly, bear shafted, 1010 00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,760 Speaker 1: and then you put your broad head on there. The 1011 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 1: only fletching you need is enough to overcome the wind 1012 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:39,000 Speaker 1: share under all wind conditions. So I tune that fleshing 1013 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,800 Speaker 1: just like I would anything else that I put the 1014 00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,120 Speaker 1: broad head that this era is going to be used with, 1015 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,360 Speaker 1: and then I see how small I can go in 1016 00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,880 Speaker 1: that fletching before I get unstable flight, and I go 1017 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 1: back up slightly. We actually use the thing called a turbulator, 1018 00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:57,280 Speaker 1: which is a little pin stripe thing that goes around 1019 00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,960 Speaker 1: in front of the feathers out a quarter of an inch. 1020 01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Feathers do work better than veins because they've they've got 1021 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:08,400 Speaker 1: higher drag and they're lighter. Gives us higher foc The 1022 01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:12,400 Speaker 1: turbulator disrupts the laminar flow down the air shaft, which 1023 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,600 Speaker 1: creates increased pressure, just like wood on an airplane. They 1024 01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:19,480 Speaker 1: use turbulators on airplanes too, uh, which will increase the 1025 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:23,840 Speaker 1: pressure on the small reflection and that has a much 1026 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 1: lower sound effect. So we're gonna do a lot more 1027 01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,040 Speaker 1: research for that. That's coming up. Because you think they're 1028 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,080 Speaker 1: responding to the sound of the approaching arrow or through 1029 01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 1: to take a big fletch and shoot it a rabbit 1030 01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 1: at about eighty yards, watching perk up and move where 1031 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:46,520 Speaker 1: the arrogance there? Oh, here's it coming. Yeah, So you 1032 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:52,120 Speaker 1: don't sound too dissimilar from a that's true and very 1033 01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 1: similar yep, and and so big fleshing it. Now. When 1034 01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 1: I first started hunting and it started into this research, 1035 01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,520 Speaker 1: he I had to use really large feathers because I 1036 01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:06,440 Speaker 1: realized that at close range I had to get my 1037 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:10,560 Speaker 1: air out of paradox to get the penetration up. Because 1038 01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:14,600 Speaker 1: I could shoot animals at yards a lot more penetration 1039 01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:16,680 Speaker 1: that if I shot him in seven or eight yards, 1040 01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:22,320 Speaker 1: that's the paradox. The era is flexing, So you have 1041 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,480 Speaker 1: archer's paradox, and let me give it a shot and 1042 01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:29,160 Speaker 1: then you can correct me. But basically as that your 1043 01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 1: bowstring starts to push your arrow. The arrow doesn't immediately 1044 01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:37,200 Speaker 1: start moving at first flexus. Your arrow does this as 1045 01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,200 Speaker 1: it's coming out of your boat, like it bends in 1046 01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:44,080 Speaker 1: the sideways, um, you know, a half moon arc arc, 1047 01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:47,360 Speaker 1: and then as it leaves it does that the other direction, 1048 01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:50,800 Speaker 1: and then the other direction, and eventually it straightens out 1049 01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 1: and then flies completely straight. But the paradox is that 1050 01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:58,640 Speaker 1: it's not that you think the closer it is the better. Well, 1051 01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 1: the original paradox so weren't center shot bows, was that 1052 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:04,600 Speaker 1: in order to hit the target, it has to bend 1053 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,800 Speaker 1: around the boat. It has to not be pointed at 1054 01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:08,960 Speaker 1: the target. But that's not a paradox, well it is. 1055 01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,640 Speaker 1: It's paradox that you don't point at it to be 1056 01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,120 Speaker 1: able to hit it. Ah, there's the paradise. I was 1057 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:15,919 Speaker 1: trying to figure out where the paradox is. I thought 1058 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:19,680 Speaker 1: the paradox was you think really close is better. No, no, no, 1059 01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:23,800 Speaker 1: it's actually the fact that on an tradtional bow that 1060 01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:25,880 Speaker 1: you know, and in some of the boats I used, 1061 01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,600 Speaker 1: have no self for that reason, let me use lighter 1062 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,600 Speaker 1: air shafts. When I was trying to get it high officially, 1063 01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,439 Speaker 1: and the arrows pointed off like this to shoot out there, 1064 01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,600 Speaker 1: I guess the rifleman's paradox would be that if you're 1065 01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:39,880 Speaker 1: shooting at something at point blank range, you'd have to 1066 01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,480 Speaker 1: account for the fact that you're cross there is an 1067 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:47,040 Speaker 1: inch and a half higher than you're essentially and a 1068 01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:49,040 Speaker 1: half that's right. You'd have the line of sight and 1069 01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,600 Speaker 1: the board access and somewhere out there they're gonna cross, 1070 01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,480 Speaker 1: and they're gonna cross again. I'm gonna douve the rifleman's 1071 01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:59,840 Speaker 1: paradox trademarking because a lot of people don't know are 1072 01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,280 Speaker 1: there's paradox. We also call it shot flex. Yeah, and 1073 01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:09,680 Speaker 1: you get it again on impact. Now it's hit, the 1074 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,280 Speaker 1: front of the air has slowed down and the back 1075 01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:14,920 Speaker 1: of the air is still trying to push it forward. Now, 1076 01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,040 Speaker 1: one of the things we found with the higher fo 1077 01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:20,000 Speaker 1: cs is that they come out of paradox and you 1078 01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:23,840 Speaker 1: shoot it much faster. Because it's lighter at the back end, 1079 01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,000 Speaker 1: and when you hit the animal, most of the weight 1080 01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,840 Speaker 1: is up front. You've got a very stiff forward leaver 1081 01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,919 Speaker 1: arm and the back of the shaft is very light. 1082 01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,040 Speaker 1: And because it's very light, it doesn't push his hard, 1083 01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:39,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't flex as much, and it stops flexing much faster. 1084 01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,880 Speaker 1: So that helps you get increased penetration because when that's 1085 01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,400 Speaker 1: flexing going through the wound channel, just having to push 1086 01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,640 Speaker 1: tissue every time it bends and goes through a bone. 1087 01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,360 Speaker 1: Same thing he's trying to push against that moan and 1088 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,680 Speaker 1: that slows it down. Now, there's a couple of things 1089 01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:57,120 Speaker 1: you can do to see that really easy. Uh. You 1090 01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:00,600 Speaker 1: can take a dowe rod long your four or five 1091 01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:03,600 Speaker 1: ft drill. You a hole on the board and put 1092 01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 1: it in there and get a rubber ball. Put the 1093 01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,000 Speaker 1: rubber ball away at the back end and pull it 1094 01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:10,920 Speaker 1: over the side and watch it go. There's like a metronome. 1095 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,480 Speaker 1: Takes forever to stop. Move it down about halfway, which 1096 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,640 Speaker 1: you're a little more than halfway like most eras are. No, 1097 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:20,920 Speaker 1: you can go a long time. Put it right down 1098 01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 1: against the board and stops. The same thing happens with 1099 01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:29,520 Speaker 1: an era. Now you can do that with ashual eras 1100 01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:32,120 Speaker 1: by drilling up pretty good sized holes, say five eighths 1101 01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:34,800 Speaker 1: of an inch or something, and take two errors, one 1102 01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:37,240 Speaker 1: with a normal foc, one with a high effles, very 1103 01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,760 Speaker 1: high effles. Put it in there so there is identical 1104 01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,880 Speaker 1: except for the foc, same chef, size, everything about it. 1105 01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,479 Speaker 1: Pull it over to the side and turn it loose. 1106 01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:51,360 Speaker 1: Time it with a stopwatch to drop through the hole. 1107 01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,880 Speaker 1: Now take the high foc when it goes take a 1108 01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:57,440 Speaker 1: take a tu m hm. Same things happen when it 1109 01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,959 Speaker 1: goes to the bone or a hole in the bone. 1110 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:04,040 Speaker 1: Once you've placed to hold through there, they're very easy 1111 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:07,480 Speaker 1: to see. You guys even use a Doppler radar when 1112 01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,440 Speaker 1: you're doing research. Yes, yes, we we have. Well, Daryl's 1113 01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:12,480 Speaker 1: got one, so now we've got three. The foundation is 1114 01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:16,040 Speaker 1: about too, and we've got a high speed camera on 1115 01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:17,760 Speaker 1: the way. You might be here by now where I'll 1116 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,480 Speaker 1: just home. We'll find out where we can u a 1117 01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:24,240 Speaker 1: genuine high speed camera, not a regular camera that's you know, 1118 01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:28,160 Speaker 1: shooting three or four hundred frames whatever, This is three 1119 01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,800 Speaker 1: thousand frames a second. Well, how does the how does 1120 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:34,200 Speaker 1: the what do you do with the Doppler radar. Uh. 1121 01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,120 Speaker 1: It works like any other chronograph, but it will read 1122 01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,160 Speaker 1: the ERA at at whatever range does you want to 1123 01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:43,080 Speaker 1: set it for. So this reading is goes out so 1124 01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,400 Speaker 1: you can shoot one ara by it and you can 1125 01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:47,960 Speaker 1: read the launch velocity. You can read it at five 1126 01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:51,840 Speaker 1: yards ten yards fifty out to where it will no 1127 01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:54,880 Speaker 1: longer pick it up. Well, it'll pick these Doppler radar 1128 01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:58,240 Speaker 1: like that. We'll pick up a thirty caliber rifle bullet 1129 01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,680 Speaker 1: out to about seven yard words, so let'll take up 1130 01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:05,080 Speaker 1: an ERA a long way out there. And we've just 1131 01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 1: started started doing some testing with those. Are you able 1132 01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:10,720 Speaker 1: to test it coming in and going out with something? 1133 01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:12,880 Speaker 1: That's why we're trying to work out a system to 1134 01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:15,200 Speaker 1: do That's one of you've got multiple level because you're 1135 01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,600 Speaker 1: gonna have to have one to read it going in 1136 01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:22,880 Speaker 1: and one to read it coming out because the animals 1137 01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:25,080 Speaker 1: going to be in the way. So we're trying to 1138 01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,880 Speaker 1: work out a system to do that. Uh. So Darryl 1139 01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:30,640 Speaker 1: and Troy are working on that now, trying to come 1140 01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:36,040 Speaker 1: up with a methodology and uh having Darryl with us, 1141 01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:39,120 Speaker 1: who's a true I mean calling the rocket man, he's 1142 01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:42,600 Speaker 1: true rocket scientists work for the government. All these worked 1143 01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:47,920 Speaker 1: on rail guns and uh uh tank penetrating projectiles and 1144 01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:51,760 Speaker 1: uh cruise missiles and all this kind of stuff that 1145 01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,360 Speaker 1: you know for years. So he's very much into both 1146 01:06:55,480 --> 01:07:00,160 Speaker 1: terminal ballistics, but more so probably into flight ballistics. Are 1147 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:04,600 Speaker 1: you gonna hit us with the twelve factors? Oh? I was, yeah, 1148 01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:09,800 Speaker 1: I will, Okay. The very first one to the first 1149 01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:13,640 Speaker 1: four are are really ones about the only ones I 1150 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,080 Speaker 1: remember on the top of my head. The structural integrity 1151 01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:18,920 Speaker 1: was talked about, which is an absolutely must have. That's 1152 01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:22,640 Speaker 1: gonna always be number one. The second one is going 1153 01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,960 Speaker 1: to be the air of flight. I talked about perfect 1154 01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,280 Speaker 1: air of flight. You're going to have to have that. 1155 01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:36,080 Speaker 1: The next most important overall is the extreme foc that's 1156 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,400 Speaker 1: percentage wise going to give you the biggest gain in 1157 01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:47,360 Speaker 1: penetration through soft tissues, postmone breaching, so forth. The next 1158 01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:51,320 Speaker 1: one is the mechanical advantage of the Broadhead. Now Broadhead 1159 01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:55,800 Speaker 1: has it's inclined planes. It's a series of inclined planes 1160 01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,800 Speaker 1: on most Broadhead song got some other weird stuff stuck on. 1161 01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:04,360 Speaker 1: But the longer and narrower it is, the higher the 1162 01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:08,560 Speaker 1: mechanical advantage is. And you can think of it like 1163 01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:12,880 Speaker 1: wheelchair ramps. Wheelchair ramps are low and gradual because it's 1164 01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,440 Speaker 1: easier to move a load from here to there. It 1165 01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,800 Speaker 1: will do more work with the same applied force. That's 1166 01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:22,000 Speaker 1: what mechanical advantage is. So if we get a broad 1167 01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,640 Speaker 1: head that is a true three to one mechanical advantage, 1168 01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,000 Speaker 1: it will take the force of the era and multiplied 1169 01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:32,599 Speaker 1: by factor of three, and if it's two to one, 1170 01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:36,639 Speaker 1: you're multiplying it by a factor of two. A lot 1171 01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:40,880 Speaker 1: of broadheads are way down there, bow one on some 1172 01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:46,160 Speaker 1: of them, so you're actually losing force from the mechanical 1173 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,240 Speaker 1: advantage of the broadhead. What's the shittiest broadhead being sold 1174 01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:56,439 Speaker 1: out there? Most mechanicals, most mechanical, most mechanicals, Yeah, because 1175 01:08:56,479 --> 01:09:00,240 Speaker 1: those things got some If I had my druthers, I 1176 01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:02,240 Speaker 1: just just going by what you're saying. They have a 1177 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:05,040 Speaker 1: very low with their deploy that a very low mechanics 1178 01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:08,439 Speaker 1: and also the force of deployment. And we also have 1179 01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,320 Speaker 1: gauges that were now starting to use that, and we 1180 01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,160 Speaker 1: use it in some of our demonstrations of letting people 1181 01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:18,200 Speaker 1: take their own broadheads and and bring a hide and 1182 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,360 Speaker 1: let them push it through there. And we've actually got 1183 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:23,479 Speaker 1: a gauge you can put on there and you can 1184 01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:26,599 Speaker 1: see the force required to push it through the hide. 1185 01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:31,040 Speaker 1: There's a thing called a trap pan trap Pantenson gauge. 1186 01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,280 Speaker 1: This essentially it's pressed down and measure your pay attention 1187 01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:40,320 Speaker 1: and it's it's really uh graphic because we have had 1188 01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:44,920 Speaker 1: people with heads that with all the force they could use, 1189 01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:49,120 Speaker 1: could not push them through the hide, and then they 1190 01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:53,560 Speaker 1: take a good cut on contact a chisel tip, I 1191 01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,479 Speaker 1: guess is is what's Yeah, A lot of the chisel 1192 01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,800 Speaker 1: tips are tough like that are the calm tips Okay, 1193 01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,439 Speaker 1: hard to push through, very hard to push through. Uh, 1194 01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:05,559 Speaker 1: And a lot of the mechanicals very hard to push through. 1195 01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:07,519 Speaker 1: Got very that blind angle even when you get the 1196 01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:11,280 Speaker 1: front part through trying to get him to deploy and 1197 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,639 Speaker 1: then trying to get them through there, and it takes 1198 01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,519 Speaker 1: almost no force. With a good high mechanical advantage cut 1199 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:20,840 Speaker 1: on contact broadhead is sharp. You just push through one finger, 1200 01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:25,240 Speaker 1: it's no problem. And all of that force that you 1201 01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:29,040 Speaker 1: say there of the era is forced you can apply 1202 01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:33,040 Speaker 1: to more penetration. So you want to get through all 1203 01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:35,519 Speaker 1: the tissues with the leash resistance you can which is 1204 01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,240 Speaker 1: basically what we do with all the factors. We're looking 1205 01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:43,400 Speaker 1: to maximize the force that the air carries with withever 1206 01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:45,320 Speaker 1: factors in there. I want to get back to that list, 1207 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,120 Speaker 1: but I just have but I have one to go ahead, 1208 01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:49,720 Speaker 1: Go ahead, you've gotten a bunch of ince. I think 1209 01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:53,080 Speaker 1: you can let me have one, because can you tell 1210 01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:55,640 Speaker 1: the story about or because you talk about penetration, some 1211 01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,040 Speaker 1: people are gonna say, well, at what point is it 1212 01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:00,719 Speaker 1: too much? Because if I go through you both sides, 1213 01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:03,680 Speaker 1: that's enough. But I read something where you were saying that, no, 1214 01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:07,000 Speaker 1: it's definitely better because of what the was it the 1215 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:12,160 Speaker 1: Royal Academy of veter Science. Yeah, and in Great Britain. Uh, 1216 01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,559 Speaker 1: they actually did some research for what reason, I don't 1217 01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:17,760 Speaker 1: know own errors. I never did figure that out. But 1218 01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:25,840 Speaker 1: if the shaft remains in, it impedes the hemorrhaging. If 1219 01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,320 Speaker 1: it stays in and the animal is moving, it impedes 1220 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:34,559 Speaker 1: even more the hemorrhaging. But if it goes completely through, 1221 01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 1: the shaft is out and the hemorrhaging is freer. And 1222 01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,679 Speaker 1: one of the one of the things try for yourself. 1223 01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:47,360 Speaker 1: Get your zip block bag gallon size three quarters full 1224 01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:52,560 Speaker 1: of water, get you some barbecue skewers going, stick the 1225 01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:57,600 Speaker 1: skewers through. Look at the leak that's coming out. You know, 1226 01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:00,680 Speaker 1: start first, just stick on one side, stick it on 1227 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,800 Speaker 1: one side, then push them all the way through, both 1228 01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:05,720 Speaker 1: sides still in there. Now pull the two out and 1229 01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:10,160 Speaker 1: watch what happens. This is essentially what happened if you 1230 01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:16,120 Speaker 1: go talk to any emergency room that hershing or leaking both. Yeah, 1231 01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:18,840 Speaker 1: because like for blood trailing, Yeah, for blood trailing, I 1232 01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,280 Speaker 1: can see it's having Yeah, we notice it like it's 1233 01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,120 Speaker 1: like it could still be bleeding internally. It's not doing 1234 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:27,160 Speaker 1: you any good on the ground. Don't having the projectile 1235 01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:34,200 Speaker 1: in there impedes bleeding any just responders, emergency room physician. 1236 01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,960 Speaker 1: If you have an embedded object, the first thing they're 1237 01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,920 Speaker 1: gonna tell you do is not removed. It should not 1238 01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:43,320 Speaker 1: really removed until you have that patient in a setting 1239 01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:47,160 Speaker 1: where you can control the increased hemorrhay gene that's going 1240 01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:50,040 Speaker 1: to occur when you remove that. And that's exactly what 1241 01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,439 Speaker 1: it'll say. You didn't look that one up on internet. 1242 01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:59,720 Speaker 1: That's easy to find, yeah, even internet. Yeah, yeah, Plus 1243 01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:02,000 Speaker 1: you you know, if the error is gone completely through, 1244 01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:07,080 Speaker 1: it's now you have sucking, chest wound, collapse lungs. What 1245 01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:08,960 Speaker 1: do you do when you've got somebody that does have 1246 01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:11,800 Speaker 1: a penetrate shop with a bullet, what do you do? 1247 01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:14,720 Speaker 1: You put a seal over there. You don't want to 1248 01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:16,840 Speaker 1: collapse that lung. They've got to have that seal to 1249 01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:21,080 Speaker 1: be able to breathe. So that's not what we will. 1250 01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,160 Speaker 1: We want him to die. We're not trying to keep 1251 01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:29,400 Speaker 1: him alive. So you want that error to exit completely. 1252 01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:33,720 Speaker 1: And if they people talk about airror staying in and 1253 01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:37,439 Speaker 1: moving around and causing all these lacerations and stuff, if 1254 01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:39,120 Speaker 1: it goes for enough stick on the other side, it's 1255 01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:42,240 Speaker 1: not gonna move around much. But even if it's in there, 1256 01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:45,120 Speaker 1: if they will dissect that animal, you don't see a 1257 01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:49,559 Speaker 1: lot of that laceration. It doesn't happen. The tissues hold 1258 01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:53,759 Speaker 1: it firm enough. And why we're talking about very mobile tissues. 1259 01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:57,680 Speaker 1: Lungs are very mobile, much like intestines and stuff. You 1260 01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:00,920 Speaker 1: know they'll move because I think that's something if you 1261 01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:03,280 Speaker 1: look at people have sort of accepted that, Yeah, if 1262 01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:05,200 Speaker 1: you're broad as this at least in there and the 1263 01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:08,479 Speaker 1: animals running around, it's moving and cutting and it's good 1264 01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:13,240 Speaker 1: it is not there. If you dissect animals, you don't 1265 01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:17,000 Speaker 1: do don't see this massive laceration. It's like in our 1266 01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,360 Speaker 1: head we think it's doing that. Oh yeah, you see 1267 01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:23,840 Speaker 1: the man that's gotta be cutting. Well he's moving too, 1268 01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:25,880 Speaker 1: but the tissue is holding it and so it's just 1269 01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:31,439 Speaker 1: going this, just staying straight, not cutting. So it's just 1270 01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:34,519 Speaker 1: not there. That's why I wish I could get people 1271 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:38,120 Speaker 1: to to dissect animals and look at it, and they 1272 01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:41,280 Speaker 1: would start to learn some of this stuff. But most 1273 01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:42,920 Speaker 1: people don't do it and got the animal and get 1274 01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:46,400 Speaker 1: out of here, you know, and they very rarely looked at. 1275 01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,880 Speaker 1: Gun Hunters need to do that too, get an idea 1276 01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,040 Speaker 1: how their bullets performed with a lot of crappy bullets 1277 01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,040 Speaker 1: on the market too. I did a lot of terminal 1278 01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:57,240 Speaker 1: ballistic research for Barnes bullets too, so I got quite 1279 01:14:57,240 --> 01:15:03,080 Speaker 1: a background and in doing terminal bullists. Uh but any him, 1280 01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:13,720 Speaker 1: we're on our list. Well okay, uh, well we're all 1281 01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:17,320 Speaker 1: mechanical advantage. But one of the things that people don't 1282 01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:21,640 Speaker 1: look at also is it's your edge. Bevel has a 1283 01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:25,160 Speaker 1: mechanical advantage. This is also an incline plane. If you've 1284 01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:29,000 Speaker 1: got a double bevel. It's like that the most commons 1285 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:31,000 Speaker 1: back up a little bit because I think already we've 1286 01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:35,560 Speaker 1: probably maybe lost some listeners just to explain, like the 1287 01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:38,960 Speaker 1: bevel and this angle, and and just like back it 1288 01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:42,200 Speaker 1: up to just one oh one. So we were dude 1289 01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:46,720 Speaker 1: off of knife blades and razor blades. Basically, most most 1290 01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:50,240 Speaker 1: double bevel broadheads how much like a knife blade. Most 1291 01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:52,320 Speaker 1: common angle is the same on both of them's twenty 1292 01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:57,280 Speaker 1: five degrees on each side. You now have a fifty 1293 01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:01,400 Speaker 1: degree cutting angle. When you get to a single bevel, 1294 01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,599 Speaker 1: one side is flat, you've got a bevel on the other. 1295 01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:07,439 Speaker 1: Now we've got some out there with twenty degrees. Now 1296 01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:10,280 Speaker 1: we're we're testing some of those in Africa right now 1297 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:13,479 Speaker 1: to see if that'll hold up at twenty Now. I 1298 01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:18,479 Speaker 1: worked originally the gritties. I god had about thirty five 1299 01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:22,320 Speaker 1: degree I think, and I worked from different bevels, working 1300 01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,760 Speaker 1: them down, and the lowest I can get to is 1301 01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:28,080 Speaker 1: twenty five. Below twenty five the steel wasn't strong enough. 1302 01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:30,280 Speaker 1: It starts to roll the edge, So that was as 1303 01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:34,280 Speaker 1: slow as low as you get. But those when you 1304 01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:37,360 Speaker 1: get to twenty five degree bevel, you've got to see 1305 01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:40,920 Speaker 1: row in twenty five. It is now twice as thin 1306 01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:45,599 Speaker 1: as a double bevel broadhead. It's mechanical advantage is twice 1307 01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:49,679 Speaker 1: as high. Now what does that mean for you? Okay, 1308 01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,920 Speaker 1: a blood vessel is touching it with the same amount 1309 01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:56,400 Speaker 1: of pressure between the two edges. The single bevel, it's 1310 01:16:56,439 --> 01:17:00,320 Speaker 1: going to slice twice as deep or twice as easily, 1311 01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:03,840 Speaker 1: whichever you want to look at it as that double bevel. 1312 01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:08,720 Speaker 1: Because it has a higher mechanical advantage. It does more 1313 01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:12,920 Speaker 1: work with the same applied pressure. By definition, that's what 1314 01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:17,640 Speaker 1: mechanically managed does. But you have to have steel of 1315 01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:21,120 Speaker 1: a good enough quality for that edge to hold up. 1316 01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:26,680 Speaker 1: That's why a real premium single bevel head. You know, 1317 01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:30,880 Speaker 1: our hundred plus dollars for three heads, but as you 1318 01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:32,760 Speaker 1: can at least reuse them. Look at the price of 1319 01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:36,679 Speaker 1: UH five N express rifle cartridge. Now have four dollars 1320 01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:41,519 Speaker 1: a box of twenty. You know, the broadhead is going 1321 01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:43,880 Speaker 1: to be one of the least expensive things of your hunt. 1322 01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:48,599 Speaker 1: So it's old ara set up, you know, and white 1323 01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:52,080 Speaker 1: people scrimp on the one thing that's going to come 1324 01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:55,680 Speaker 1: in contact with the animal. I have never understood, but 1325 01:17:55,880 --> 01:18:00,040 Speaker 1: they do it. But Basically, that's where mechanical advance and 1326 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,200 Speaker 1: it's just come in. I hope that's clear enough you 1327 01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:07,280 Speaker 1: understand it. The people, most people really overlook the mechanical 1328 01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:10,439 Speaker 1: advantage of the edge bettle. It's a big one. And 1329 01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:13,120 Speaker 1: another thing is that we've talked about why I would 1330 01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:15,479 Speaker 1: guess that right now, if we looked at just picked 1331 01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:20,280 Speaker 1: a random ten arrowheads on the Internet, that the edge 1332 01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:23,360 Speaker 1: bevel the angle might not even be listed under the 1333 01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:25,840 Speaker 1: specific most of the times not It's probably not even 1334 01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:28,519 Speaker 1: a thing that people even think about. But that's something 1335 01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:31,040 Speaker 1: we tracked, and in the study, we tracked the edge 1336 01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:34,120 Speaker 1: babble of every if it's got six blades, we're gonna 1337 01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:36,280 Speaker 1: have the edge battle of all six blades listed there. 1338 01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,920 Speaker 1: You know, if it's got bleeder blades, four blade blader blades, 1339 01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:43,320 Speaker 1: sometimes they have different angles ground on them. So we've 1340 01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:46,240 Speaker 1: got that all track. And that's one of the factors 1341 01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:48,680 Speaker 1: you can look at. It's a's what difference does it make? 1342 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:51,439 Speaker 1: And the one thing that we found when we were 1343 01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:56,200 Speaker 1: looking at single babble versus double bebble in absolute identical 1344 01:18:56,640 --> 01:19:01,560 Speaker 1: profile broadheads on the same error that up is that 1345 01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:05,280 Speaker 1: the single bevels will give you more penetration both in 1346 01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:10,519 Speaker 1: soft tissue and drastically so in bone. Huge difference in 1347 01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:13,920 Speaker 1: bone because the rotating single bevel will pop the bone. 1348 01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:17,840 Speaker 1: I think that we should, uh, you should explain the 1349 01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:24,519 Speaker 1: how a single bevel uh like makes itself when it 1350 01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:26,439 Speaker 1: hits an animal and bones when it when it's flat 1351 01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:30,040 Speaker 1: on one side. Okay, well we'll put the bevel over here. 1352 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:33,080 Speaker 1: If it's flat on one side and beveled on the other, 1353 01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:37,080 Speaker 1: when you apply pressure to this side as it goes 1354 01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:40,960 Speaker 1: through something, there's no pressure on this side, and it 1355 01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:46,840 Speaker 1: castes the rotation. There you go. He's got a big 1356 01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,320 Speaker 1: old plastic broadhead, but he's got a left bevel. That's 1357 01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:54,280 Speaker 1: all right. Uh, it's going to press here but not here. 1358 01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:58,880 Speaker 1: And it's going to press here but not here. When 1359 01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:02,160 Speaker 1: he says press here, he's pointing at the bevel of 1360 01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:06,920 Speaker 1: the broadhead, not the flat edge. Yes, the torque generated 1361 01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:09,960 Speaker 1: is going to be proportional to the amount if you 1362 01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:13,400 Speaker 1: go talking about a bone, the amount of surface area 1363 01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,519 Speaker 1: of the bevel in contact with the bone or any 1364 01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:20,240 Speaker 1: given time. Now, there's also going to be a differential 1365 01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:23,920 Speaker 1: by how wide the broadhead is. When you get a 1366 01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:27,680 Speaker 1: very wide broadhead. You're putting a lot more stress on 1367 01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,760 Speaker 1: the edge at any given bevel angle because you've got 1368 01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:34,200 Speaker 1: a longer leaver arm coming out here torking. So it's 1369 01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:38,880 Speaker 1: going to be more likely to roll that edge or 1370 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:40,960 Speaker 1: chipped the hedge or whatever it's going to do. Now, 1371 01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:42,640 Speaker 1: if it's got to do one or the other, you 1372 01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:47,040 Speaker 1: want to chip rather than roll. A chipped steel blade 1373 01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:51,240 Speaker 1: is a whole lot sharper than a rolled edge rolled edge, 1374 01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:53,560 Speaker 1: and you can saw your hand with it. It's not 1375 01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:58,320 Speaker 1: gonna cut anything, but that's where you get the torking effect. 1376 01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:02,960 Speaker 1: When you have a double bevel, you got even pressure 1377 01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,960 Speaker 1: on both sides. When they hit a bone, it has 1378 01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:09,479 Speaker 1: to push its waist straight through. Now, with a high 1379 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:13,160 Speaker 1: speed camera, we're gonna find out just how far it 1380 01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:16,639 Speaker 1: goes into the bone before it pops it with that torque. 1381 01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:22,200 Speaker 1: M hmm. Yeah, I think it's happening very quickly. I 1382 01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:24,599 Speaker 1: don't know that, but we're going to find out. Can 1383 01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,360 Speaker 1: I tell you something. I was reading the thing one 1384 01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:29,160 Speaker 1: time where a guy was just you holding that thing, 1385 01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:31,960 Speaker 1: the single bevel, talking about that. I was reading a 1386 01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:35,360 Speaker 1: thing where a guy was writing a paper on what 1387 01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:40,280 Speaker 1: he believed the prevalency of left handedness was among Folsome hunters, 1388 01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:45,679 Speaker 1: based on resharpened Falsome point that they assumed we're hafted, 1389 01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:50,720 Speaker 1: and that he was working with his left holding the 1390 01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:52,519 Speaker 1: half of his right hand and working with the left, 1391 01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:54,040 Speaker 1: and I think they found that they were had a 1392 01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:56,840 Speaker 1: higher prevalency of I think this guy suggests I had 1393 01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:01,000 Speaker 1: a higher prevalency of left handedness at least a months 1394 01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:08,120 Speaker 1: on the hunters believe people. It's interesting anyway, that gives 1395 01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:09,560 Speaker 1: you a good idea what we're talking about with the 1396 01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:14,720 Speaker 1: torqu generator. What number one right now? Uh, we're still 1397 01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:18,400 Speaker 1: number four mechanical advantage. Oh you got all that rolled 1398 01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:22,719 Speaker 1: under mechanical advantage. That's like ABC. Well it's not necessarily 1399 01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:25,840 Speaker 1: with the torque that would come down generaly further where 1400 01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:29,719 Speaker 1: we talked about the type of edge babbove But okay, five, 1401 01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:35,519 Speaker 1: it's the shaft diameter to feral diameter ratio right there, 1402 01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:41,200 Speaker 1: because chaft goes into the broadhead. If it's like this, smaller, 1403 01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:46,960 Speaker 1: you gain about ten penetration as opposed to be even 1404 01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:53,240 Speaker 1: if the shaft is bigger, you lose penetration. What he's 1405 01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:58,760 Speaker 1: sawing about about is the the drag. Yeah, like if 1406 01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:01,160 Speaker 1: you run your hand from a aft downe of the broadhad, 1407 01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:05,160 Speaker 1: you definitely don't want it to drop off at the broadhead. 1408 01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:07,559 Speaker 1: Well that's further down the list too, But yes, broadhead 1409 01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:13,320 Speaker 1: profile error profile is important. But that's the important one 1410 01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:15,920 Speaker 1: to have right there, and we're going to do more 1411 01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,360 Speaker 1: research on. But in what the data we have now, 1412 01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:24,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to increase very much in penetration once 1413 01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:29,560 Speaker 1: you're about five smaller than the broadhead feral hm. But 1414 01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:32,080 Speaker 1: we've got a lot more skinny shafts to work with now, 1415 01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,320 Speaker 1: so we may code with something new as we do 1416 01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:39,240 Speaker 1: the newer testing and and find out that okay, going down, 1417 01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:42,160 Speaker 1: the more you might gain some more penetration. And why 1418 01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:45,200 Speaker 1: why I'm guessing is just that the broadhead has created 1419 01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:48,680 Speaker 1: a bigger channel than the arrow needs to go just 1420 01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:54,160 Speaker 1: pure drag. If if you look at this coming down 1421 01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:58,320 Speaker 1: and having to bump up over an errow shaft, now 1422 01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:03,000 Speaker 1: it's going to have more pressure against this tissue and 1423 01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:07,440 Speaker 1: shaft profiles on there too. As we look at shaft profiles. 1424 01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:12,920 Speaker 1: If you have a barrel taper shaft, then you can 1425 01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:15,960 Speaker 1: go and buy a barrel tapertechularly in wood ares and 1426 01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:18,519 Speaker 1: traditional areas. Yes, they're very common and being used for 1427 01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:23,120 Speaker 1: centuries and for various things. But it'll it'll be on 1428 01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:26,040 Speaker 1: one diameter here then gets bigger towards the metal than 1429 01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:29,800 Speaker 1: tapers at the back. Those will have the lowest penetration. 1430 01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:33,759 Speaker 1: If you took identical eras for everything's up the shaft profile, 1431 01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:37,519 Speaker 1: same weight, same broad head, shopping the same bowl, shoot 1432 01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,959 Speaker 1: each one fifty times and and look at the averages, 1433 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:45,520 Speaker 1: You're you're going to lose u significant amount of penetration. 1434 01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:51,719 Speaker 1: The highest penetrating is the taper shaft. The taper shaft, 1435 01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:54,920 Speaker 1: the further it gets in in the drag of the 1436 01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:58,519 Speaker 1: shaft drops. Now you have to remember too when it's 1437 01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:01,639 Speaker 1: why you can't. I haven't been able to find artificial 1438 01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:07,160 Speaker 1: mediums that worked well because you're shooting that era through 1439 01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,839 Speaker 1: a blood in an animal, through a blood suffused environment, 1440 01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:13,560 Speaker 1: which lubricates you. You know how slick blood is, you 1441 01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:15,920 Speaker 1: had blood on your hands, Try to hold your knife 1442 01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:19,680 Speaker 1: handle when you're gutting an animal, and it actually has 1443 01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:23,679 Speaker 1: a lubricating effect, which is another reason we do our testing. 1444 01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,439 Speaker 1: Within thirty minutes of putting the animal down. Not only 1445 01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:30,040 Speaker 1: for changing the tissue rigged mortis, but blood will start 1446 01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:32,680 Speaker 1: to coagulate. You no longer have a bleeding when you 1447 01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:34,640 Speaker 1: shoot them. When they're fresh put down, you still have 1448 01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:37,200 Speaker 1: some blood coming out of the tissues you have. You 1449 01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:41,920 Speaker 1: guys into a guy that sent in this thing about 1450 01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,080 Speaker 1: how he was in a He has a cadaver lab, 1451 01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:47,519 Speaker 1: or was in a cadaver lab. Human cadaver lab. They 1452 01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:54,679 Speaker 1: pump beef blood through cadavers to keep them. I don't know, yeah, 1453 01:25:55,120 --> 01:26:02,680 Speaker 1: freshened up. You could apply that you started. He's a 1454 01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:07,080 Speaker 1: lab guy there. I do feel stuff. They even do 1455 01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:13,880 Speaker 1: it at tempt so they use souvied warm beef blood 1456 01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:18,320 Speaker 1: and roll it through cadavers, keeping and fresh. He's making 1457 01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:24,280 Speaker 1: note that transfer knowledge, transfer a knowledge right there, if 1458 01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:31,719 Speaker 1: the rifleman's paradox doesn't work out, yelled Pat, and that okay, 1459 01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:35,040 Speaker 1: what number you know? Okay? With number six? Aerra masks 1460 01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:39,800 Speaker 1: the physical airra weight, and that's a real simple one 1461 01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:43,360 Speaker 1: from physics. The heavy or something is the longer it 1462 01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:49,040 Speaker 1: takes to stop period and as all, it will also 1463 01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:51,840 Speaker 1: gave more energy from your boat. I don't care what 1464 01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:55,559 Speaker 1: kind of boat you shoot. If you put a heavier 1465 01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:58,519 Speaker 1: air on there. It's going to happen. It won't be big, 1466 01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:03,800 Speaker 1: but it's going to have an increase in kinetic energy transfer, 1467 01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:07,280 Speaker 1: which is the proper use of kinetic energy, not what 1468 01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:11,439 Speaker 1: the ARA does from the bow into the era, because 1469 01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:14,120 Speaker 1: all of the noise and the sound of the vibration 1470 01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:16,800 Speaker 1: you get with a light era, the heavier area you 1471 01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:19,920 Speaker 1: go to, the more it diminishes. Now I haven't gone all. 1472 01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:23,400 Speaker 1: I've gone up to about six grain eras, and it's 1473 01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:27,960 Speaker 1: still showing that you're still seeing a small kinetic energy 1474 01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:31,880 Speaker 1: gain as you go to the heavier eras. Out of 1475 01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:36,880 Speaker 1: any given boat, compound recurves long bows, doesn't matter, works 1476 01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:42,800 Speaker 1: with all of them, and that ERA mass is going 1477 01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:47,960 Speaker 1: to carry this additional force that it has received from 1478 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:50,040 Speaker 1: the bowl. And what we're doing with all these factors 1479 01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:54,760 Speaker 1: is trying to maximize the conservation of this force the 1480 01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:58,200 Speaker 1: era has derived from the bow to be able to 1481 01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:01,240 Speaker 1: apply it to the animal when it hit. Because this 1482 01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:04,200 Speaker 1: is the endpoint. This is what really matters, is the 1483 01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:09,360 Speaker 1: terminal ballistics. And you know, kinetic energy tells you how 1484 01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:15,559 Speaker 1: hard something it um, It doesn't tell you the forward 1485 01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:18,839 Speaker 1: motion of it. It doesn't kinnectic energy doesn't have a direction. 1486 01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:23,960 Speaker 1: Sound is kinetic energy. Vibration, the shaft is the wiggling 1487 01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:26,040 Speaker 1: of the shaft, the resistance of it against the air, 1488 01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:29,760 Speaker 1: the paradox. These are all part of kinetic energy. They 1489 01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:33,960 Speaker 1: have nothing to do with penetration, because penetration is directional force, 1490 01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:39,600 Speaker 1: and that's what you get with momentum. Momentum does have 1491 01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:42,880 Speaker 1: a direction, and momentum has to be met by an 1492 01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:47,920 Speaker 1: equal force of resistance before it stops. So the more 1493 01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:51,960 Speaker 1: momentum you can put into that era, which is mass 1494 01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:56,800 Speaker 1: times velocity, not velocity squared, and not all of the 1495 01:28:56,960 --> 01:29:00,800 Speaker 1: momentum is force, penetration is concern works out equal. The 1496 01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:04,120 Speaker 1: more of that momentum that is invested in the mass 1497 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:07,120 Speaker 1: of the era, the more outcome penetration you're going to have. 1498 01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:09,960 Speaker 1: Because the mass of the air is not going to change, 1499 01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:14,360 Speaker 1: the velocity is going to decreases, it penetrates, but a 1500 01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:18,360 Speaker 1: significant portion of that momentum is invested in the weight 1501 01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:21,439 Speaker 1: of the air, and that weight of the error is 1502 01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:24,920 Speaker 1: going to carry all the way till it stops. So 1503 01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:27,679 Speaker 1: even as that slows down, is still carrying more momentum 1504 01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:31,559 Speaker 1: right up to the end, and that's why a bowling 1505 01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:39,760 Speaker 1: ball carries a lot more momentum than baseball's next one. Yeah. Now, 1506 01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:42,400 Speaker 1: if you're talking connectic energy is one of my things 1507 01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:45,600 Speaker 1: I get off on because there are places that have 1508 01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:50,360 Speaker 1: applied kinnectic energy as a standard for hunting animals and 1509 01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:52,920 Speaker 1: it is not aptical. I'm sorry, it does not apply 1510 01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:56,679 Speaker 1: to take a baseball picture. That get a Major League 1511 01:29:56,720 --> 01:30:00,400 Speaker 1: baseball picture in pitch ninety six miles an hour with 1512 01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:03,360 Speaker 1: a softball. If you look at the laws, they where 1513 01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:05,599 Speaker 1: they applied it to Cape Buffalo, that's legal hunt Cape 1514 01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:09,120 Speaker 1: Buffalo with that's enough kinetic energy. They don't penetrate worth 1515 01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:11,840 Speaker 1: a damn on a Cape Buffalo. It'll make him real 1516 01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:13,960 Speaker 1: mad and probably get your pounder in the ground. Oh, 1517 01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:17,200 Speaker 1: I got what you're saying. You're saying that kinetic energy 1518 01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:21,080 Speaker 1: picture could take a baseball and get the right amount 1519 01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:27,759 Speaker 1: of Connecticut more than enough. He's legal. He's legal, he's illegal. 1520 01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:32,600 Speaker 1: I got what you're saying. Yeah, And that's one of 1521 01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:35,479 Speaker 1: the things the industry has applied for years. Because that 1522 01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:40,880 Speaker 1: have speed cell, they push kinetic energy because okay, we 1523 01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:44,280 Speaker 1: get this error going faster, we've got more kinetic energy. Wow. 1524 01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:47,040 Speaker 1: And Okay, you need this amount of kinetic energy. Now, 1525 01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:49,280 Speaker 1: look at all the things where you can see on 1526 01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:51,479 Speaker 1: the internet where they tell you you need this much 1527 01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:54,320 Speaker 1: kinetic energy for hunting amount an elk, and this much 1528 01:30:54,360 --> 01:30:57,519 Speaker 1: front to deer, this much fronting the black bear. Show me. 1529 01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:00,920 Speaker 1: One that tells you is that launch connetic energy or 1530 01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:08,519 Speaker 1: kinetic energy to impact? Nobody ever says down our study, 1531 01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:12,639 Speaker 1: we tracked the momentum and the connectic energy at impact 1532 01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:15,880 Speaker 1: as well as it launch. It's the impact one that counts, 1533 01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:20,160 Speaker 1: and that's one thing that that heavier error is going 1534 01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:24,080 Speaker 1: to carry out. There is that increased momentum to give 1535 01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:28,040 Speaker 1: you the penetration you need. And that's why eerroweights imported. 1536 01:31:30,280 --> 01:31:33,280 Speaker 1: Next factor seven we're up for seven now is the 1537 01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:39,799 Speaker 1: edge finish. We did some testing where we took multiple 1538 01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:43,559 Speaker 1: layers of fresh buffalo hide, which is about an inch thick. 1539 01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:47,360 Speaker 1: Talking like buffalo buffalo, Asian buffalo. Any of the buffalo 1540 01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:51,080 Speaker 1: Asian buffalo actually have a heavier hide across the shoulders 1541 01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:54,880 Speaker 1: and chest area. Then they're actually a tougher animal. In 1542 01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:59,600 Speaker 1: kate buffalo, bigger, bigger heart by full kg. But we 1543 01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:02,679 Speaker 1: made multiple layers of this and took a series of errors, 1544 01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:07,360 Speaker 1: and we we sharpened them by different methods. You're talking 1545 01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:10,280 Speaker 1: like you was taking green high, green high, fresh green 1546 01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:13,439 Speaker 1: high and sandwiching them, sandwiched them together, hung them up 1547 01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:16,600 Speaker 1: truck to pull them up. I mean they're heavy, and 1548 01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:19,360 Speaker 1: we would shoot them with these ferrets with the edge 1549 01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:24,360 Speaker 1: sharpened by different methods. And then we compared for each 1550 01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:30,759 Speaker 1: era individually. It's performance against itself with a different edge finish. 1551 01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:36,760 Speaker 1: And the worst edge is the old Howard Hills serrated 1552 01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:39,479 Speaker 1: edge where you take a file and drag it back 1553 01:32:39,479 --> 01:32:42,360 Speaker 1: across the broad head and you make all these little 1554 01:32:42,680 --> 01:32:45,880 Speaker 1: look like salt teeth. Run the file lately down wants 1555 01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:48,960 Speaker 1: to make a point forward because the first thing it 1556 01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:51,719 Speaker 1: does is load up with tissue and then it won't 1557 01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:57,200 Speaker 1: cut nothing, nothing at all. File sharpened edges were better, 1558 01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:00,680 Speaker 1: but they still do the same thing. My christophey, that 1559 01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:02,960 Speaker 1: they've still got I don't care how smooth you file it. 1560 01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:06,559 Speaker 1: It's still got these little rough areas if you look 1561 01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:09,599 Speaker 1: at it, their high magnification, and they do the same thing. 1562 01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:13,519 Speaker 1: They load up with fibers and they get dull a 1563 01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:18,479 Speaker 1: honed and stopped edge as thin and smooth and sharp 1564 01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:21,920 Speaker 1: as you can get it is your best edge, the 1565 01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:25,360 Speaker 1: thinnest so forth for that mechanical advantage we're talking about earlier, 1566 01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:31,120 Speaker 1: but honed and stropped where it is just there's not 1567 01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:33,880 Speaker 1: a rough place on it, not catching anything, not catching it. 1568 01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:37,360 Speaker 1: And actually once you get good at sharpening, as you 1569 01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:41,679 Speaker 1: get them that that finish, they actually feel less sharp. 1570 01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:47,240 Speaker 1: They're so smart they no longer will great gripped your tissue, 1571 01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:50,160 Speaker 1: so they don't they feel like they actually start dulling, 1572 01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:54,560 Speaker 1: but they're not. They're actually getting sharper. And you know, 1573 01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:59,080 Speaker 1: on the testing we sharpened every broadhead to that honed 1574 01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:03,240 Speaker 1: and stripped left. Otherwise the testing is not not valid. 1575 01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:07,120 Speaker 1: Now some broad heads that come in the package and 1576 01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:10,439 Speaker 1: say they're already factory sharp, well, we'll dress them that way, 1577 01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:12,760 Speaker 1: but then when we have to redo them, we'll have 1578 01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:14,960 Speaker 1: to sharp them. And you know, and see what they do. 1579 01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,879 Speaker 1: That one you see fishhooks. The advertise is chemically sharpened. 1580 01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:21,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you get all sorts of stuff. Would you 1581 01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:23,880 Speaker 1: always buy that, man, I'm like, well that must be 1582 01:34:23,960 --> 01:34:27,640 Speaker 1: prete damn sharp. Yeah. Would you say that most broadheads 1583 01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:33,599 Speaker 1: coming out of the package are sharp enough? No, very 1584 01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:36,280 Speaker 1: few in the world are sharpened, But there are a couple. 1585 01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:40,400 Speaker 1: There are a couple that are sharp enough, but not many. 1586 01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:43,439 Speaker 1: And you like them spit shined you leathers drop them? 1587 01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:47,280 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well not just. I use a horse hide strap, 1588 01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:50,280 Speaker 1: which is probably the best leather strop you can get 1589 01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:56,240 Speaker 1: the rump the rump hide off the horse years ago. 1590 01:34:56,520 --> 01:35:02,040 Speaker 1: That used to be one leather. Yep, there's only one 1591 01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:04,160 Speaker 1: factory in the world that makes it. A leather is 1592 01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:08,559 Speaker 1: definitionally horse hide rump yep. Yep, no ship, only one place. 1593 01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:10,280 Speaker 1: The one factory in the world makes it in Chicago. 1594 01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:14,000 Speaker 1: It's the toughest leather in the world. And and I 1595 01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:18,840 Speaker 1: used uh, I used double sided and and one one 1596 01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:24,719 Speaker 1: side is uh finished with. I put polishing compoundering sixty 1597 01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:27,760 Speaker 1: tho grid and the other side has nothing on it. 1598 01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:31,560 Speaker 1: It's just the hide sixty grid sixty thou grid. But 1599 01:35:31,760 --> 01:35:34,120 Speaker 1: the other side that has nothing on it has been 1600 01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:38,760 Speaker 1: sanded down with ten thousand grid sandpaper to poloshy so 1601 01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:42,519 Speaker 1: that it's just a hard polished surface. And that punches 1602 01:35:42,560 --> 01:35:47,920 Speaker 1: some buffalo hide that'll punch through some buffs with with 1603 01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:52,960 Speaker 1: incredible difference in the penetration that you had. But it 1604 01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:55,360 Speaker 1: was consistent with every error. It didn't matter. For it's 1605 01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:59,360 Speaker 1: a three blade, four blade, whatever kind of head we used, 1606 01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:04,840 Speaker 1: the hone is dropped always penetrated the most, The file 1607 01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:09,320 Speaker 1: sharpened always was second, and the hill ones were always last. 1608 01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:13,120 Speaker 1: With all these different kinds of broad heads and different 1609 01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:16,000 Speaker 1: errors and different weight errors, but every error is compared 1610 01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:18,160 Speaker 1: only back to self, not to all the other errors. 1611 01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:21,719 Speaker 1: So it was strictly sharpening method that made the difference 1612 01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,080 Speaker 1: in penetration. I got a problem right now. So we're 1613 01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:27,080 Speaker 1: on seven. This is great, and I want to open 1614 01:36:27,160 --> 01:36:28,600 Speaker 1: up a real can of worms. But I want you 1615 01:36:28,680 --> 01:36:31,479 Speaker 1: to I want you to not take de bait too much. 1616 01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:38,640 Speaker 1: So like set a timer because we were going to 1617 01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:40,160 Speaker 1: get into this heavy duty but we're not gonna be 1618 01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:44,400 Speaker 1: able to work. I'm too I like the list too much. Now. 1619 01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:47,200 Speaker 1: Yanni was mentioned to me. I didn't know this. He 1620 01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:51,920 Speaker 1: was mentioned to me that you've spent time in Papua 1621 01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:55,880 Speaker 1: New Guinea. Yes, research and arrows. Yes. And I just 1622 01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:59,720 Speaker 1: want to bring up one anecdote, Okay, I just want 1623 01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:06,120 Speaker 1: you to very quickly address um ancestral archery technology real quick. 1624 01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:08,920 Speaker 1: And the anecdote is this, you know the guy we 1625 01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:12,400 Speaker 1: bought rush off of. Yeah, Alex that one of the 1626 01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:16,280 Speaker 1: tsars his kid. I think it was his twenty second 1627 01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:21,360 Speaker 1: birthday in eighteen seventy one, seventy two, his kid came 1628 01:37:21,400 --> 01:37:25,120 Speaker 1: out and went on a buffalo hunt with Custer Yeah, 1629 01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:29,560 Speaker 1: and wild Bill Cody. Afterward. I believe it was a 1630 01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:33,000 Speaker 1: I can't mamber if you Cheyenne. The guy went out 1631 01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:40,479 Speaker 1: rode up alongside of buffalo bison, not a buffalo. Yeah, 1632 01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:42,400 Speaker 1: I know. Okay, But if I said I was going 1633 01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:44,160 Speaker 1: and if I said I was going to antelope hunting 1634 01:37:44,160 --> 01:37:46,240 Speaker 1: and Wyoming, would you be like, boy, I'm very confused 1635 01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:47,800 Speaker 1: right now, or would you know what I was talking about? 1636 01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:54,679 Speaker 1: Buffalo gets to be a very contentious terms about buffalo testing, 1637 01:37:54,920 --> 01:38:01,600 Speaker 1: they think, But I'm using it extremely intentionally. Uh What 1638 01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:04,320 Speaker 1: was I getting at Buffalo? He wrote up beside it 1639 01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:06,120 Speaker 1: and shotty, oh yeah, I once. Here's the funny store. 1640 01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:08,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you real quick. When I was doing some 1641 01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:09,840 Speaker 1: research one time, and I was with these guys from 1642 01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:13,760 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Field Campaign, Okay, and these are like activists 1643 01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:17,679 Speaker 1: who were working to prevent state slaughter of bison leaving 1644 01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:20,960 Speaker 1: Yelsto National Park, but their organizations called the Buffalo Field Campaign. 1645 01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:23,280 Speaker 1: I'm standing there with the guy from the Buffalo Field campaign, 1646 01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:25,640 Speaker 1: and here comes the pronghorn running by, and I say, oh, 1647 01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:28,439 Speaker 1: there's an antelope. He goes, that's actually a prong horn. Yes, 1648 01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:33,160 Speaker 1: And I'm like, here, organizations named wrong, there's like popular terminology, right. 1649 01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:38,720 Speaker 1: So a bison, the American bison, the American bison punches, uh, 1650 01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:42,720 Speaker 1: punches a nail right through it and then presents the arrow. 1651 01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:46,960 Speaker 1: So pass through shop presents the arrow to whatever his 1652 01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:52,439 Speaker 1: name was, okay, and brings it home. Um. In your 1653 01:38:52,840 --> 01:39:00,519 Speaker 1: research of the planes bow archery tackle used in Papua 1654 01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:07,880 Speaker 1: New Guinea, Clovis points, have you found um different cultures 1655 01:39:08,040 --> 01:39:12,840 Speaker 1: that had uh? Have you found evidence of different cultures 1656 01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:18,680 Speaker 1: that accidentally or intentionally we're applying things that you're now 1657 01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:22,200 Speaker 1: impressed by? Have you found cultures that, man, how did 1658 01:39:22,240 --> 01:39:25,160 Speaker 1: they not realize? I think a lot of this stuff 1659 01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:29,400 Speaker 1: was known probably thousands of years ago, and we've lost 1660 01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:34,479 Speaker 1: We're just rediscovering what people need. If you look at 1661 01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:40,720 Speaker 1: Japanese eras, uh, you look at Chinese eras, these were 1662 01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:45,840 Speaker 1: high foc eras. Look at the medieval war eras, high 1663 01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:50,840 Speaker 1: foc eras, high mass. This stuff has been used all 1664 01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:54,720 Speaker 1: all around New Guineas, and not just because the limitations 1665 01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:57,640 Speaker 1: of the materials like evidence that there was like intentionally 1666 01:39:57,720 --> 01:40:00,320 Speaker 1: like could have been different, but was intentionally the The 1667 01:40:00,479 --> 01:40:04,679 Speaker 1: perfect example is New Guinea of intentional because I examined 1668 01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:09,000 Speaker 1: archery equipment that was pre World War Two, no steel available. 1669 01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:13,120 Speaker 1: The points are made of hardwood. The bowls were made 1670 01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:16,360 Speaker 1: of black palm. These are beautiful, graceful bowls would not 1671 01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:19,000 Speaker 1: look out of place at a at a primitive archery 1672 01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:24,160 Speaker 1: shoot now today. And the air shafts were much like 1673 01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:26,160 Speaker 1: we would think of the diameter of an air shaft, 1674 01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:30,960 Speaker 1: and the wooden points are quite long, made out of hardwood, 1675 01:40:31,520 --> 01:40:36,280 Speaker 1: but these eras were uh. I think the lowest that 1676 01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:39,840 Speaker 1: I measured was about which should be altered. Extreme f 1677 01:40:39,960 --> 01:40:44,360 Speaker 1: o z going up into the World War two comes 1678 01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:50,680 Speaker 1: along and all of a sudden, there's rebar. There're steel now. 1679 01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:52,760 Speaker 1: All the points are made out of steel. They're huge, 1680 01:40:52,840 --> 01:40:55,920 Speaker 1: looks like a spear. Well in order to use them, 1681 01:40:56,120 --> 01:41:00,240 Speaker 1: they had to go to a big cane shaft. They 1682 01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:02,960 Speaker 1: make these things. You know, they're five and a half 1683 01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:07,240 Speaker 1: six ft long, these eras. But even with that big shaft, 1684 01:41:07,320 --> 01:41:10,479 Speaker 1: these points weigh so much and we're talking to the light. 1685 01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:13,920 Speaker 1: Errors are on up three thousand and thirty five grains 1686 01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:17,080 Speaker 1: and go up, you know, well above four thousand grain eras. 1687 01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:22,960 Speaker 1: They couldn't get it to tune. And they actually tune 1688 01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:25,679 Speaker 1: their eras just like we do when we bear shaft, 1689 01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:29,479 Speaker 1: the same process off of their traditional bows. So what 1690 01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:32,760 Speaker 1: do they do? They change their entire bow. It is 1691 01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:40,920 Speaker 1: no longer you know, long um beautiful black palm. It 1692 01:41:41,080 --> 01:41:43,679 Speaker 1: is now seven and a half feet long. It's made 1693 01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:47,760 Speaker 1: out of bamboo. It's about that wide. Why is it 1694 01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:50,320 Speaker 1: that wide? If you put that era way over here, 1695 01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:53,840 Speaker 1: paradox that chaft can be in an old lot more 1696 01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:59,240 Speaker 1: in tune around to straight flight. But they build these 1697 01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:01,639 Speaker 1: heavy aras, no two errors alike, because they're just hammering 1698 01:42:01,680 --> 01:42:04,400 Speaker 1: them out. But they'll get up there and shoot that 1699 01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:07,280 Speaker 1: era and do just like we do. They'll keep shortening 1700 01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:11,000 Speaker 1: that shaft until it shoots straight. Now, they don't use 1701 01:42:11,040 --> 01:42:15,599 Speaker 1: any fletching, but there foc on the post World War 1702 01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:19,479 Speaker 1: two eras is even heavier. Most of those are above 1703 01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:24,960 Speaker 1: foc That's why I didn't get away with shooting them 1704 01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:28,639 Speaker 1: with no fletching whatsoever. Plus the factor not going very fast, 1705 01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:33,479 Speaker 1: which decreases the wind shear on the on the broadhead. Uh. 1706 01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:38,080 Speaker 1: I didn't have any way to measure the velocity. I 1707 01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:40,800 Speaker 1: didn't have a chronograph there or anything like that. And 1708 01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:44,960 Speaker 1: the bows both the pre World War two post World 1709 01:42:45,040 --> 01:42:48,760 Speaker 1: War two. Uh, they said the pre World War two 1710 01:42:48,800 --> 01:42:51,280 Speaker 1: bowls were about as heavy. And just pulling it, I 1711 01:42:51,320 --> 01:42:53,760 Speaker 1: would say it's in the eighty pound range is the 1712 01:42:53,840 --> 01:43:00,320 Speaker 1: typical boat um And the velocity I was the specter 1713 01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:02,840 Speaker 1: is less than a hundred feet per second m hm. 1714 01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:07,360 Speaker 1: And they consider out to twenty five meters good shooting range. 1715 01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:10,800 Speaker 1: And these guys are deadly with him. What are they hunting? 1716 01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:15,519 Speaker 1: Roosa deer and pigs? Those are the two commons. Roosa 1717 01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:20,400 Speaker 1: deer live out in bald open country floodplains. The only 1718 01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:22,519 Speaker 1: stalking youn do is just the role of the ground. 1719 01:43:23,400 --> 01:43:26,519 Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, they generally stalk three guys at 1720 01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:29,599 Speaker 1: a time, but only one shoots. And I watched them 1721 01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:31,719 Speaker 1: went out with one hunt and watched them from distance 1722 01:43:31,800 --> 01:43:34,280 Speaker 1: with the blocktors, I probably wouldn't get enough stalker to 1723 01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:37,479 Speaker 1: stay with them. And uh, they it's about a twenty 1724 01:43:37,520 --> 01:43:41,120 Speaker 1: five yards shot the guy took. Now, they traditionally carry 1725 01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:45,479 Speaker 1: three eras all three will be different and a blunt. 1726 01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:51,639 Speaker 1: And he took his heaviest era, which was about grains, 1727 01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:57,719 Speaker 1: is the one he chose to shoot, and plump drives 1728 01:43:57,760 --> 01:44:00,200 Speaker 1: this big head all the way sticking out the other 1729 01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:02,880 Speaker 1: side of the atom. Of course, the shaft is great, big. 1730 01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:06,160 Speaker 1: It stops at the shaft but points long enough it's 1731 01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:08,479 Speaker 1: coming out to the other side of the rooster. Dear. Yeah, 1732 01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:14,120 Speaker 1: when and when docs saying the points long, he's like showing, yeah, 1733 01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:17,040 Speaker 1: the short ones will be about a foot. Wellmber, those 1734 01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:19,439 Speaker 1: boys in Guyana when they had the like the tape 1735 01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:21,519 Speaker 1: year points yeah, I mean it's like, I don't know, 1736 01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:26,599 Speaker 1: eleven twelve inches of hammered thin steel. And I asked 1737 01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:28,439 Speaker 1: the guy. He had the best answer I've ever heard. 1738 01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:31,840 Speaker 1: I asked him he was one of the few that 1739 01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:35,800 Speaker 1: spoke in English, and why he chose that are out 1740 01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:37,400 Speaker 1: of his three because he was the heaviest area he 1741 01:44:37,520 --> 01:44:53,840 Speaker 1: had and the best answers there was works best all right, 1742 01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:59,960 Speaker 1: Number eight, Okay, the shaft profile, we actually touched him. 1743 01:45:00,160 --> 01:45:03,920 Speaker 1: We've talked about the parallel shaft, the taper shaft, and 1744 01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:06,720 Speaker 1: the barrel taper shaft. That's what we're looking at. Their 1745 01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:11,000 Speaker 1: Then the taper shaft works the best parallel shaft as 1746 01:45:11,120 --> 01:45:14,519 Speaker 1: long as it's not bigger than the farrel works really well. 1747 01:45:15,160 --> 01:45:18,280 Speaker 1: It's probably the standard most people would go by. And 1748 01:45:19,080 --> 01:45:22,920 Speaker 1: the barrel taper shaft is definitely the worst, no question 1749 01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:28,639 Speaker 1: about it. And uh oh yeah, that's enough on that one. 1750 01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:30,880 Speaker 1: Then we talked about the broad head and an air 1751 01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:33,679 Speaker 1: of silhouette, and we touched on that too. You want 1752 01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:39,200 Speaker 1: the smoothest transition you can get. You don't want any lumps, bumps, 1753 01:45:39,560 --> 01:45:46,639 Speaker 1: spot wells, uh trash, abrupt transitions and stealth bomber other 1754 01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:49,519 Speaker 1: than the step down you might get just back of 1755 01:45:49,560 --> 01:45:52,600 Speaker 1: the farrel to the shaft. You do not want a 1756 01:45:52,720 --> 01:45:56,400 Speaker 1: bump on that era if you can avoid it. Sometimes 1757 01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:58,519 Speaker 1: you can't avoid it, like put that old turbulator on there. 1758 01:45:58,680 --> 01:46:01,880 Speaker 1: But that's a little We actually used model airplane pin 1759 01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:07,920 Speaker 1: stripe that's about six minute wide, no maybe even smaller 1760 01:46:08,040 --> 01:46:13,400 Speaker 1: than that, very narrow, just enough to disrupt that lambent 1761 01:46:13,479 --> 01:46:17,679 Speaker 1: or airflow. You remember, remember delta broadheads from a long 1762 01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:21,160 Speaker 1: time ago. I have a deer skull that's got one 1763 01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:23,800 Speaker 1: of those rattling around inside the dad shot in the 1764 01:46:24,000 --> 01:46:28,360 Speaker 1: shot the deer in the forehead, um it has serrated bleeders, 1765 01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:33,599 Speaker 1: so it's got double beveled. But then they would put 1766 01:46:33,640 --> 01:46:37,400 Speaker 1: little bleeders there and the bleeders are serrated. Uh, you 1767 01:46:37,439 --> 01:46:41,920 Speaker 1: don't like that profile because that's that's a double sin, 1768 01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:45,479 Speaker 1: right said. So it made it past that because they 1769 01:46:45,560 --> 01:46:48,320 Speaker 1: had a heck of a bump. Yeah no, it's it's 1770 01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:52,960 Speaker 1: rattling around and it's awesome. Yeah, Well, I prob they 1771 01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:56,519 Speaker 1: had They knew where a deer was feeding alongside a 1772 01:46:56,680 --> 01:47:01,680 Speaker 1: road and it was very accustomed to vehicular traffic. So 1773 01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:03,560 Speaker 1: he had his friend. He opened the door on a 1774 01:47:03,640 --> 01:47:07,360 Speaker 1: van and he had his friend drive very slowly. He 1775 01:47:07,600 --> 01:47:09,920 Speaker 1: rolled out of the moving van with the with the 1776 01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:12,880 Speaker 1: re curve, and then that dud would just watched cars 1777 01:47:12,960 --> 01:47:14,920 Speaker 1: go by. And he rolled out of the van while 1778 01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:16,720 Speaker 1: I was moving, rolls up and shot and she like 1779 01:47:16,800 --> 01:47:18,800 Speaker 1: took notice something she had swung her head around. It 1780 01:47:18,880 --> 01:47:21,840 Speaker 1: punched right in the forehead. So I gotta hang it 1781 01:47:21,880 --> 01:47:26,360 Speaker 1: on my wall with that thing. Guy. Only other guy 1782 01:47:26,439 --> 01:47:29,280 Speaker 1: in my county that but one beside me shot one 1783 01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:32,439 Speaker 1: in the forehead, did not get it. It ran off 1784 01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:38,439 Speaker 1: for the air across fifty yards open field by a unicorn. 1785 01:47:38,640 --> 01:47:40,320 Speaker 1: That does that does a lot of good for pr 1786 01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:43,040 Speaker 1: Can you can you touch on I guess while we're 1787 01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:46,920 Speaker 1: talking about bleeder blades, just why I guess I can 1788 01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:48,920 Speaker 1: tell you why people think they're good right because it 1789 01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:51,920 Speaker 1: gives you, like another access of a cut. There's more 1790 01:47:52,040 --> 01:47:54,720 Speaker 1: things they have lost, the premise of it. I had. 1791 01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:58,240 Speaker 1: I had the honor of actually hunting with Fred there. 1792 01:47:59,160 --> 01:48:01,479 Speaker 1: I heard him tell list around the campfire. I had 1793 01:48:01,560 --> 01:48:05,200 Speaker 1: lunch with him and yeah, nice guy Acroan Ohio. He uh. 1794 01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:08,640 Speaker 1: He said that the bleeder, the original bleeder blade if 1795 01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:11,280 Speaker 1: you've seen the original bear razor heads were made out 1796 01:48:11,320 --> 01:48:15,120 Speaker 1: of that hard blue carbon steel. He said. The purpose 1797 01:48:15,200 --> 01:48:17,840 Speaker 1: of that is as soon as it hits a hard 1798 01:48:17,880 --> 01:48:21,760 Speaker 1: surface like a bone, its shatters, then the broad hid 1799 01:48:21,800 --> 01:48:25,960 Speaker 1: can carry on like a normal single blade broadhead is 1800 01:48:26,080 --> 01:48:29,639 Speaker 1: only to open a bigger hole in the soft tissue 1801 01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:34,280 Speaker 1: to reduce the drag of the shaft. Where you hoping, 1802 01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:37,000 Speaker 1: Fred Bear, he came to the least that Bob Lee 1803 01:48:37,040 --> 01:48:40,880 Speaker 1: had Uh sod Ben Pierson, Yeah, I gotta be good, 1804 01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:43,400 Speaker 1: pretty good friends with Ben Pierson. I picked up a 1805 01:48:43,520 --> 01:48:48,000 Speaker 1: lot of valuable shooting information from him. So the blades 1806 01:48:48,080 --> 01:48:53,080 Speaker 1: just got misnamed. Well, no, people said oh, these blades 1807 01:48:53,160 --> 01:48:55,360 Speaker 1: break off and they leave blades in the meat, and 1808 01:48:55,439 --> 01:48:57,640 Speaker 1: somebody made eat them. So they started to make him 1809 01:48:57,640 --> 01:48:59,600 Speaker 1: out of stuff that would ben and then destroyed the 1810 01:48:59,640 --> 01:49:03,120 Speaker 1: whole inceptive at working. Now I just increase error drag 1811 01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:09,439 Speaker 1: and you just ruined your penetration. But that wasn't the 1812 01:49:09,520 --> 01:49:13,160 Speaker 1: intent when Fred Bare designed him. He had the design right, 1813 01:49:13,200 --> 01:49:15,559 Speaker 1: if you're gonna use a bleeder blade, that's the one 1814 01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:20,519 Speaker 1: you want. And so bleeder blades they're advertised or put 1815 01:49:20,600 --> 01:49:25,879 Speaker 1: onto broadheads. Now they're just reducing your drag. But they've 1816 01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:28,000 Speaker 1: been pretty easy, most of them, because the very thing 1817 01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:32,880 Speaker 1: instead of breaking shattering like the original bleeder blades on 1818 01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:36,439 Speaker 1: the bear razor head, they've been once you could be 1819 01:49:36,479 --> 01:49:38,679 Speaker 1: in like that tiny tip Ben, when we're talking about 1820 01:49:39,400 --> 01:49:43,519 Speaker 1: just they I mean almost as small you can hardly 1821 01:49:43,560 --> 01:49:49,920 Speaker 1: see it. That's looses of the penetration. Just that little band. 1822 01:49:50,120 --> 01:49:52,639 Speaker 1: And what's the band of any kind gonna do. It's 1823 01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:55,760 Speaker 1: going to read that direct the path of that era. 1824 01:49:56,120 --> 01:49:58,559 Speaker 1: What's that gonna do? The shaft, Now, the shaft has 1825 01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:01,120 Speaker 1: got to try to make this be in pushing all 1826 01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:06,200 Speaker 1: that tissue, it just kills your penetration. It just doesn't 1827 01:50:06,240 --> 01:50:10,479 Speaker 1: work at all. That's why structural integrity is the number 1828 01:50:10,520 --> 01:50:18,120 Speaker 1: one thing. Okay, we're down number ten, which we've already 1829 01:50:18,120 --> 01:50:21,080 Speaker 1: touched on, is going through the type of edge bevel 1830 01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:25,040 Speaker 1: through soft tissue. I thought that was earlier on the thing. No, 1831 01:50:25,280 --> 01:50:26,960 Speaker 1: we just got off on it because we were talking 1832 01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:29,880 Speaker 1: about edge thickness and stuff. That's why don't remember me 1833 01:50:29,960 --> 01:50:32,320 Speaker 1: saying I thought you you described for like it was 1834 01:50:32,479 --> 01:50:36,720 Speaker 1: for A, B and C. No, it is just we 1835 01:50:36,960 --> 01:50:39,640 Speaker 1: we just got off on it. So way down to 1836 01:50:39,720 --> 01:50:43,880 Speaker 1: number ten, the type of edge bevel you do get 1837 01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:47,840 Speaker 1: an increase in penetration. And we used it with different profiles, broadheads, 1838 01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:52,840 Speaker 1: identical identical error set ups. You know, compared double bevel 1839 01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:55,880 Speaker 1: to single bevel, you get an increase in penetration even 1840 01:50:55,920 --> 01:50:59,000 Speaker 1: a soft tissue with a single bevel. And this was 1841 01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:01,560 Speaker 1: one of the things in the testing that had a 1842 01:51:01,680 --> 01:51:08,880 Speaker 1: hundred percent frequency. It happened every time and looking at 1843 01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:13,280 Speaker 1: no matter what you hit, yeah with well a soft 1844 01:51:13,280 --> 01:51:16,759 Speaker 1: tissue with bone, it's even more start because the single 1845 01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:20,200 Speaker 1: bevel torqus and pops that bone. You get a massive 1846 01:51:20,280 --> 01:51:27,720 Speaker 1: increase in average penetration. Are mean or media median or minimum, 1847 01:51:27,960 --> 01:51:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, any any of the factors you want to 1848 01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:32,720 Speaker 1: take out maximum penetration on every area. You can look 1849 01:51:32,760 --> 01:51:35,439 Speaker 1: at that, you know, full graph, compare any of them 1850 01:51:35,479 --> 01:51:39,479 Speaker 1: back and forth. You always have a higher percentage of 1851 01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:43,479 Speaker 1: penetration with a single vel, and it was frequency in 1852 01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:49,160 Speaker 1: the testing. So it is important, particularly on bone though, 1853 01:51:49,200 --> 01:51:51,880 Speaker 1: that's where it makes the biggest difference, and a lot 1854 01:51:51,960 --> 01:51:55,439 Speaker 1: of that is the higher mechanical advantage of the edge 1855 01:51:55,680 --> 01:52:00,679 Speaker 1: less resistance. Going through slice is easier, it is more work. 1856 01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:07,920 Speaker 1: Was he applied force? It penetrates more, just as simple physics, No, 1857 01:52:08,680 --> 01:52:11,240 Speaker 1: nothing magic about it. I want to remember how we 1858 01:52:11,320 --> 01:52:14,760 Speaker 1: wedge that traditional bit in between whatever, like eight and nine. 1859 01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:21,760 Speaker 1: I want to wedge something in here. Okay, talk about um. 1860 01:52:22,120 --> 01:52:26,080 Speaker 1: Apparently you're talking to Yanni about this about shooting animals 1861 01:52:26,120 --> 01:52:28,960 Speaker 1: and propping them up and shooting them. Yeah, that's the 1862 01:52:28,960 --> 01:52:31,160 Speaker 1: way we did most of the testing on freshy, cold animals. 1863 01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:33,600 Speaker 1: You put the animal down, you got thirty minutes. So 1864 01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:35,800 Speaker 1: this is just so again, let's bring it back to 1865 01:52:35,880 --> 01:52:39,000 Speaker 1: like the beginning. This is like when you talk about 1866 01:52:39,080 --> 01:52:42,320 Speaker 1: the study. This is the study. This isn't like the 1867 01:52:42,400 --> 01:52:44,120 Speaker 1: last you were because earlier you said, oh, the last 1868 01:52:44,160 --> 01:52:48,920 Speaker 1: six hundred animals that have come in. Those animals are 1869 01:52:49,600 --> 01:52:53,920 Speaker 1: separate database, and we used the hunted animals as a 1870 01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:58,280 Speaker 1: cross reference. Are we seeing the same thing that the 1871 01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:01,200 Speaker 1: setup shots on these fresh down day animals are indicating? 1872 01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:04,280 Speaker 1: And yes we did. So this was this was what 1873 01:53:04,520 --> 01:53:07,840 Speaker 1: you called the the tallest study. No, the tall study 1874 01:53:08,080 --> 01:53:12,400 Speaker 1: is where it started with. And those were actually hunted animals. 1875 01:53:13,280 --> 01:53:17,280 Speaker 1: So then you went to a place where, like explained, 1876 01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:19,560 Speaker 1: because we still I don't think anybody knows exactly like 1877 01:53:20,160 --> 01:53:23,280 Speaker 1: when the study happened, what it was, where you were, 1878 01:53:23,400 --> 01:53:25,240 Speaker 1: what the animals were. All I said at the time 1879 01:53:25,240 --> 01:53:27,479 Speaker 1: I got through with it a tall study, I had 1880 01:53:27,560 --> 01:53:32,519 Speaker 1: more questions than I did going in, and so I said, okay, 1881 01:53:32,720 --> 01:53:35,240 Speaker 1: you know, I want to carry on with this. And 1882 01:53:35,439 --> 01:53:40,240 Speaker 1: so I would do as many autopsies on animals as 1883 01:53:40,320 --> 01:53:43,040 Speaker 1: I could. I made several trips back and forth Africa. 1884 01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:46,280 Speaker 1: But then it really kicked up when I retired, and 1885 01:53:47,160 --> 01:53:50,360 Speaker 1: the first four years I was over there, I spent 1886 01:53:50,439 --> 01:53:52,960 Speaker 1: at least three hundred days a year hunting. Now that 1887 01:53:53,080 --> 01:53:56,280 Speaker 1: was either guiding or which I didn't do a lot 1888 01:53:56,360 --> 01:54:00,360 Speaker 1: of are are hunting on my own, shooting animals, and 1889 01:54:00,760 --> 01:54:03,599 Speaker 1: UH would do buffalo whenever we could, like probably we'd 1890 01:54:03,640 --> 01:54:06,760 Speaker 1: go into Mozambie can do the buffalo over there, uh 1891 01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:11,080 Speaker 1: and collect as much dat as we possibly could. Then 1892 01:54:11,200 --> 01:54:14,320 Speaker 1: after I got thrown out of Zimbabwe when they kicked 1893 01:54:14,320 --> 01:54:18,400 Speaker 1: all the Americans out uh that weren't didn't have permanent residency, 1894 01:54:19,320 --> 01:54:22,280 Speaker 1: I came back to the state's regroup and went down 1895 01:54:22,360 --> 01:54:25,720 Speaker 1: to Australia and spent time in Australia, New Zealand and 1896 01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:30,080 Speaker 1: New Guinea, all that area down there. But through contacts 1897 01:54:30,720 --> 01:54:32,440 Speaker 1: I ran in a guy he used to be the 1898 01:54:32,520 --> 01:54:39,320 Speaker 1: chief game ranger up in Kacadoo Park uh and Australia 1899 01:54:40,080 --> 01:54:44,760 Speaker 1: of the Northern Territory. He shot who knows, thirty forty 1900 01:54:44,800 --> 01:54:47,560 Speaker 1: thousand buffalo you know, back when they're trying to eradicate 1901 01:54:47,640 --> 01:54:49,680 Speaker 1: because they're like a nine native. Yeah, so they were 1902 01:54:50,040 --> 01:54:52,960 Speaker 1: for years tried to eradicate him and his his son 1903 01:54:53,120 --> 01:54:57,240 Speaker 1: is still one of the park rangers there, probably thirty 1904 01:54:57,320 --> 01:55:03,120 Speaker 1: forty of them. And because they out him from everything, cars, helicopters, boats, anywhere, 1905 01:55:03,120 --> 01:55:05,560 Speaker 1: they could shoot him of any any buffalo you saw 1906 01:55:05,600 --> 01:55:09,360 Speaker 1: you shot, uh, And we're not able to knock the 1907 01:55:09,480 --> 01:55:14,640 Speaker 1: population down. So after he retired, he talked the government 1908 01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:18,800 Speaker 1: of the Fishing Game Department into establishing a study where 1909 01:55:19,080 --> 01:55:21,800 Speaker 1: he fenced in I don't know, it's about seven miles 1910 01:55:21,880 --> 01:55:25,240 Speaker 1: by seven miles high fence. Uh And he's trying to 1911 01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:28,600 Speaker 1: determine the carrying capacity without damaging the habitat for the 1912 01:55:28,640 --> 01:55:31,760 Speaker 1: buffalo and he has to take about five hundred a 1913 01:55:31,880 --> 01:55:36,720 Speaker 1: year off two keep the population at a level that 1914 01:55:36,880 --> 01:55:39,640 Speaker 1: won't damage the habitat, or at least they think it's 1915 01:55:39,640 --> 01:55:43,640 Speaker 1: not gonna damage it. And uh so I got and 1916 01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:47,200 Speaker 1: and and he's sort of a reclusive don't take to 1917 01:55:47,280 --> 01:55:50,400 Speaker 1: everybody and think I'll live in the middle of nowhere. 1918 01:55:50,520 --> 01:55:55,000 Speaker 1: He's really in the middle of nowhere. And uh we 1919 01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:57,640 Speaker 1: just hit it off. And he used to do a 1920 01:55:57,720 --> 01:56:00,480 Speaker 1: lot of testing while he's calling all these animals for 1921 01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:04,640 Speaker 1: Woodley bullets because he's got a huge collection of firearms, 1922 01:56:04,760 --> 01:56:08,760 Speaker 1: a lot of double rifles, British shotguns. Oh, I mean, 1923 01:56:08,800 --> 01:56:11,920 Speaker 1: he's got a literally see container full of them. And 1924 01:56:12,320 --> 01:56:16,120 Speaker 1: uh so, I you know, when I went up there 1925 01:56:16,160 --> 01:56:18,800 Speaker 1: and met him through through a client that I had 1926 01:56:18,840 --> 01:56:24,280 Speaker 1: guided in Australia that knew it, and uh we we 1927 01:56:24,400 --> 01:56:26,720 Speaker 1: hit it off. And he said, you know, yeah, listen 1928 01:56:26,800 --> 01:56:29,280 Speaker 1: let's come on up and said when when we're shooting 1929 01:56:29,280 --> 01:56:32,600 Speaker 1: buffalo year around, said, come up and we'll you know, 1930 01:56:32,640 --> 01:56:35,280 Speaker 1: we'll shoot the buffalo. We'll set up you know, when 1931 01:56:35,320 --> 01:56:37,440 Speaker 1: you can test your arabs on him. And he thought 1932 01:56:37,440 --> 01:56:41,040 Speaker 1: it was fascinating. So the other guys work for the 1933 01:56:41,800 --> 01:56:43,680 Speaker 1: park there, the other game rangers, and had a lot 1934 01:56:43,720 --> 01:56:46,240 Speaker 1: of them come out and watch. They were absolutely fascinating 1935 01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:49,480 Speaker 1: what we're doing with eras. And uh so I would 1936 01:56:49,480 --> 01:56:52,600 Speaker 1: go up there three months a year and we would 1937 01:56:52,600 --> 01:56:55,520 Speaker 1: do as many buffaloes as we could do. And I 1938 01:56:55,600 --> 01:56:57,920 Speaker 1: could do because of all the stuff you got to do, 1939 01:56:58,040 --> 01:57:01,720 Speaker 1: the record keeping, the reaching a broad heads, the building 1940 01:57:01,760 --> 01:57:04,280 Speaker 1: of new error setups and things you want to test 1941 01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:07,360 Speaker 1: the most I can do with one buffalo every three 1942 01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:11,600 Speaker 1: days and and get done. Uh. And we would go 1943 01:57:11,680 --> 01:57:14,520 Speaker 1: out and he would get on the four wheel er. 1944 01:57:14,560 --> 01:57:17,680 Speaker 1: I would follow him and and uh, we find a buffalo, 1945 01:57:17,760 --> 01:57:20,560 Speaker 1: will cary all the gear with us, and he'd shoot 1946 01:57:20,600 --> 01:57:24,440 Speaker 1: the buffalo, put it down usually head shot, next shot 1947 01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:27,680 Speaker 1: something like that. We get there, prop it up, do 1948 01:57:27,800 --> 01:57:31,280 Speaker 1: our shooting, and then collect all of our data. And 1949 01:57:31,400 --> 01:57:34,000 Speaker 1: then I would go back and you know, do die 1950 01:57:34,040 --> 01:57:37,480 Speaker 1: and carry parts of it back to dissect and uh, 1951 01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:40,880 Speaker 1: we're had error stuck in the bones and stuff like that, 1952 01:57:41,600 --> 01:57:44,800 Speaker 1: and and uh that I'd write all the recordings down 1953 01:57:44,880 --> 01:57:52,320 Speaker 1: and then resharpen everything, get ready to variables variables on there. 1954 01:57:52,640 --> 01:57:57,080 Speaker 1: And that's everything from uh you know the bowl, uh, 1955 01:57:57,440 --> 01:58:01,120 Speaker 1: the launch kinetic energy to launch momentum, the impact momentum, 1956 01:58:01,480 --> 01:58:05,040 Speaker 1: what tip of animal it was, what distance was shot at, uh, 1957 01:58:05,160 --> 01:58:07,560 Speaker 1: what bones were hit. So you've got to make it 1958 01:58:07,640 --> 01:58:12,440 Speaker 1: easier because you know, I didn't have a true database 1959 01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:17,080 Speaker 1: computer wise, so I have a field there like it's 1960 01:58:17,120 --> 01:58:21,160 Speaker 1: this entrance rib hit. Yes, no industry of penetrating and 1961 01:58:21,240 --> 01:58:24,760 Speaker 1: penetrate means passed completely through if it just sticks out 1962 01:58:24,760 --> 01:58:27,640 Speaker 1: together side, he didn't penetrate it. The bone stopped the hair. 1963 01:58:27,800 --> 01:58:29,880 Speaker 1: I mean the broadhead had passed through the whole, because 1964 01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:32,400 Speaker 1: the broad head had to completely pass through the bone 1965 01:58:32,880 --> 01:58:36,360 Speaker 1: to consider it penetrating. And then you would carry on 1966 01:58:36,520 --> 01:58:40,360 Speaker 1: through other bones and organs of what was hit. You know, 1967 01:58:40,480 --> 01:58:43,640 Speaker 1: the extra ribs it hit was scapula hit. You know 1968 01:58:43,680 --> 01:58:46,840 Speaker 1: it was a spinal he had spinal process um you know, 1969 01:58:46,840 --> 01:58:50,640 Speaker 1: depending on what you're shooting at, pelvic girdle, neck, vertebra. Uh, 1970 01:58:51,120 --> 01:58:53,600 Speaker 1: So you've got all these bones in there, so you 1971 01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:56,640 Speaker 1: can go through it and look for something in a 1972 01:58:56,760 --> 01:58:59,400 Speaker 1: in a It's in a spreadsheet, so I had limited 1973 01:58:59,520 --> 01:59:02,960 Speaker 1: search if ability. But I could say, you know, all 1974 01:59:03,200 --> 01:59:11,040 Speaker 1: of the trophy sized bull um asian buffalo uh hit 1975 01:59:12,240 --> 01:59:19,280 Speaker 1: from a twenty degree angle uh impacting the ribs, and 1976 01:59:19,360 --> 01:59:21,840 Speaker 1: I'd get all of those, and then I can go 1977 01:59:21,920 --> 01:59:23,840 Speaker 1: back and get the same thing and say, give me 1978 01:59:23,880 --> 01:59:26,520 Speaker 1: all the single bevels that did that. Give me the 1979 01:59:26,600 --> 01:59:29,640 Speaker 1: results from all of the UH E f O C 1980 01:59:29,840 --> 01:59:34,240 Speaker 1: eras that did that, or the ULTRAFC eras, and that 1981 01:59:34,360 --> 01:59:38,480 Speaker 1: way you can start comparing stuff. Okay, here's averages for this, 1982 01:59:38,640 --> 01:59:41,760 Speaker 1: here's average and take out. Okay, these are double bevel broadheads, 1983 01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:44,760 Speaker 1: let's get those, you know, let's get single bevel broadheads. 1984 01:59:45,200 --> 01:59:47,120 Speaker 1: And so you can start getting all these sets of 1985 01:59:47,240 --> 01:59:49,640 Speaker 1: data to compare back and forth to each other, where 1986 01:59:49,680 --> 01:59:51,640 Speaker 1: you can look at what was the minimum penetration, what 1987 01:59:51,800 --> 01:59:54,480 Speaker 1: was the maximum uh. And then you've got fields and 1988 01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:56,760 Speaker 1: every where you described stuff too that really didn't fit in, 1989 01:59:57,280 --> 02:00:00,280 Speaker 1: like bone skips and things like that. U up. So 1990 02:00:00,360 --> 02:00:04,880 Speaker 1: you got one field that's just free field, described the shot, 1991 02:00:05,040 --> 02:00:08,160 Speaker 1: the tissue damage, the whatever you wanted to describe it 1992 02:00:08,240 --> 02:00:11,960 Speaker 1: there and uh on that one when you when we've 1993 02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:15,160 Speaker 1: got links for photos, I said, it's a bad photographer. 1994 02:00:15,200 --> 02:00:17,160 Speaker 1: Didn't have anything like that. So I had to keep 1995 02:00:17,240 --> 02:00:20,320 Speaker 1: tracking what was what with photos just you know, in 1996 02:00:20,440 --> 02:00:24,960 Speaker 1: a book, so just one like one aspect of this. 1997 02:00:25,280 --> 02:00:28,560 Speaker 1: What were the when you were doing this? What were 1998 02:00:28,600 --> 02:00:32,600 Speaker 1: the shot distances for instances uniform? All of those are 1999 02:00:32,640 --> 02:00:36,520 Speaker 1: taken at a measured twenty yards. And then how many 2000 02:00:38,360 --> 02:00:43,320 Speaker 1: total shots wouldn't probably have five thousand and how many 2001 02:00:43,360 --> 02:00:47,360 Speaker 1: animals I don't know, never counted him. And but you 2002 02:00:47,480 --> 02:00:50,440 Speaker 1: had thirty minutes before Rigor would impact though you had 2003 02:00:50,480 --> 02:00:52,920 Speaker 1: about thirty minutes. Now in warm weather you might have 2004 02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:55,480 Speaker 1: a little bit more than that. But we we put 2005 02:00:55,520 --> 02:00:57,320 Speaker 1: it down in thirty minutes, and we stayed in thirty 2006 02:00:57,320 --> 02:01:00,960 Speaker 1: minutes because even in what we cool weather down there, 2007 02:01:01,240 --> 02:01:06,600 Speaker 1: because I went once in December, I'll never do it 2008 02:01:06,640 --> 02:01:10,960 Speaker 1: again to the Northern Territory of Australia. That was miserable. 2009 02:01:11,720 --> 02:01:13,480 Speaker 1: We know a Rigor Moore to specialists, if you ever 2010 02:01:13,560 --> 02:01:16,920 Speaker 1: want to talk to him, there you go University Nebraska. Yeah, 2011 02:01:17,480 --> 02:01:22,920 Speaker 1: Dr Chris Calkins, but he's picky about Caulkins or Calkins, Caulkins, 2012 02:01:24,280 --> 02:01:27,520 Speaker 1: rigor Moore to specialist. There you go. Yeah, well we 2013 02:01:27,600 --> 02:01:30,360 Speaker 1: did ours on the basis of okay, you know in 2014 02:01:30,640 --> 02:01:33,720 Speaker 1: the early days. Yeah, we get past this. Okay, we're 2015 02:01:33,720 --> 02:01:37,200 Speaker 1: seeing a difference in outcomes, so we gotta cut this 2016 02:01:37,320 --> 02:01:41,440 Speaker 1: off here these so these way this this didn't doesn't 2017 02:01:41,480 --> 02:01:43,880 Speaker 1: correlate with what we got before. Okay, what number were on? 2018 02:01:45,280 --> 02:01:50,080 Speaker 1: Where are we design? We should have done this interstitial 2019 02:01:50,400 --> 02:01:56,120 Speaker 1: thing idea? Yeah, dude, what we did was tip of 2020 02:01:56,160 --> 02:02:01,640 Speaker 1: design was I took a series of broadheads Dennick Lara setups. 2021 02:02:02,560 --> 02:02:05,400 Speaker 1: These are all single blade broadheads. Let's say the number again, 2022 02:02:06,680 --> 02:02:10,120 Speaker 1: what number number eleven? And what is it? Tip design tip? Okay, 2023 02:02:10,160 --> 02:02:14,360 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. And what we did was put different tip profiles, 2024 02:02:15,960 --> 02:02:18,760 Speaker 1: and we use seven different tip profiles because that goes 2025 02:02:18,760 --> 02:02:23,320 Speaker 1: against your whole mechanical advantage thing. Reason for that, we 2026 02:02:23,440 --> 02:02:25,800 Speaker 1: were looking at a number of things. He's holding up, 2027 02:02:26,240 --> 02:02:28,840 Speaker 1: he's looking at it. We're looking at a point that 2028 02:02:28,920 --> 02:02:31,680 Speaker 1: has a earlier what he would describe as a very 2029 02:02:31,760 --> 02:02:35,320 Speaker 1: high mechanical advantage angle profile or whatever the hell. But 2030 02:02:35,360 --> 02:02:37,120 Speaker 1: then it's got a little chisel point on it, like 2031 02:02:38,640 --> 02:02:43,040 Speaker 1: chisel is different. Name these things. What's that like knives? 2032 02:02:43,120 --> 02:02:45,880 Speaker 1: They call that what tanto? It's got a tanto point. 2033 02:02:45,880 --> 02:02:48,520 Speaker 1: It looks like two tanto points put back to back. 2034 02:02:48,920 --> 02:02:51,200 Speaker 1: So that's that's what it named. And that name is 2035 02:02:51,240 --> 02:02:54,400 Speaker 1: called on It just stuck through the years, Uh, just 2036 02:02:54,440 --> 02:02:55,800 Speaker 1: because I had to have something to call it when 2037 02:02:55,840 --> 02:02:59,840 Speaker 1: I was doing the testing. Um. But we tried all 2038 02:02:59,880 --> 02:03:03,000 Speaker 1: the different points, and we were looking at durability and 2039 02:03:03,240 --> 02:03:07,760 Speaker 1: skip angle. Now skip angle is a big important factor. 2040 02:03:08,040 --> 02:03:11,160 Speaker 1: The others like a skip like all hell, it doesn't. No, 2041 02:03:11,840 --> 02:03:14,680 Speaker 1: this actually was the best design of all at the 2042 02:03:14,760 --> 02:03:18,920 Speaker 1: lowest skip angle and the highest durability of all the 2043 02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:22,240 Speaker 1: ones we tested. Now, if you could get a needle 2044 02:03:22,360 --> 02:03:27,920 Speaker 1: tip that wouldn't damage, it might do as well. But 2045 02:03:28,040 --> 02:03:31,560 Speaker 1: I never could find one that didn't damage well the 2046 02:03:31,560 --> 02:03:35,200 Speaker 1: way until different materials come. Well, this this came by 2047 02:03:35,280 --> 02:03:39,720 Speaker 1: far the best, and we're one of the things gonna 2048 02:03:39,760 --> 02:03:41,920 Speaker 1: look at and I tried to determine it and we're 2049 02:03:41,960 --> 02:03:43,480 Speaker 1: gonna be able to find out with that high speed 2050 02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:51,600 Speaker 1: camera is I tried different sharpening profiles on this tanto tip. Uh, 2051 02:03:53,280 --> 02:03:57,120 Speaker 1: single bevel on the same side, single bevel on the 2052 02:03:57,160 --> 02:04:01,520 Speaker 1: opposite side, and double bevel, and I was never able 2053 02:04:01,600 --> 02:04:05,080 Speaker 1: to tell which one truly worked the best, particularly for 2054 02:04:05,160 --> 02:04:10,280 Speaker 1: skip angle. What is skip angle? Well, when the an 2055 02:04:10,320 --> 02:04:15,879 Speaker 1: airy hits the bone, most bones are designed to redirect forces. 2056 02:04:15,960 --> 02:04:17,680 Speaker 1: They're they're not only just hold the body up to 2057 02:04:17,720 --> 02:04:22,760 Speaker 1: protect the body, so they curve multiple directions. So it's 2058 02:04:22,800 --> 02:04:25,040 Speaker 1: pretty rare to be able to hit a bone square. 2059 02:04:25,360 --> 02:04:27,960 Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons the buffalo it's such a 2060 02:04:28,080 --> 02:04:32,480 Speaker 1: nice test ad because they have very broad, wide ribs, 2061 02:04:32,920 --> 02:04:37,000 Speaker 1: so you can almost get a square impact. Or like 2062 02:04:37,200 --> 02:04:40,240 Speaker 1: we did, you put a protractor out here, You take 2063 02:04:40,280 --> 02:04:43,400 Speaker 1: a string, you measure the angle, and you shoot at 2064 02:04:43,960 --> 02:04:48,440 Speaker 1: various So the skip angle describes the angle of the bone, 2065 02:04:48,680 --> 02:04:51,800 Speaker 1: not the angle of impact between the broad heads and 2066 02:04:51,800 --> 02:04:56,240 Speaker 1: the bone. Yes, and that's really important, like guys hung 2067 02:04:56,320 --> 02:04:59,160 Speaker 1: out tree stands and stuff, because now they're looking down 2068 02:04:59,240 --> 02:05:03,200 Speaker 1: at ribs and think of the curves that are involved. 2069 02:05:04,160 --> 02:05:07,440 Speaker 1: And it's not uncommon to hit one of those ribs 2070 02:05:07,480 --> 02:05:11,040 Speaker 1: and have the air actually right around the outside curve 2071 02:05:11,920 --> 02:05:14,040 Speaker 1: of those ribs and go into the ground. And a 2072 02:05:14,120 --> 02:05:16,560 Speaker 1: lot of people it happens so fast they think they've 2073 02:05:16,560 --> 02:05:19,040 Speaker 1: shot through. The animal in the air never got into 2074 02:05:19,040 --> 02:05:21,000 Speaker 1: the chest cabin. You just wanted the skin. I think 2075 02:05:21,080 --> 02:05:24,520 Speaker 1: people from eating beef ribs. You know, people get a 2076 02:05:24,800 --> 02:05:26,600 Speaker 1: wrong idea what a deer's rib looks like. When you 2077 02:05:26,640 --> 02:05:29,200 Speaker 1: actually take a deer's rib out, that's some bitches round. Yeah, 2078 02:05:29,800 --> 02:05:32,720 Speaker 1: it's not. It's not a flat face. Most ribs are 2079 02:05:32,840 --> 02:05:36,520 Speaker 1: that way. Yea. Yeah, the bigger the animal gets, the 2080 02:05:36,560 --> 02:05:40,040 Speaker 1: flatter the rib. Elephant ribbs got a big flat giraffe, 2081 02:05:40,160 --> 02:05:45,480 Speaker 1: big flat, hippo's big flat buffalo rude to smaller flat. 2082 02:05:48,800 --> 02:05:52,720 Speaker 1: It's pretty round. Yeah, the smaller the animal gets, the 2083 02:05:52,800 --> 02:05:56,160 Speaker 1: more round they are. Brown bears almost perfectly round, right, 2084 02:05:56,440 --> 02:05:58,040 Speaker 1: it's real round. I feel like this would be a 2085 02:05:58,120 --> 02:06:01,640 Speaker 1: good time to talk about bone busting arrow and whether 2086 02:06:01,880 --> 02:06:05,520 Speaker 1: it's a real thing or if it's a myth. One 2087 02:06:05,680 --> 02:06:13,040 Speaker 1: more and we'll do. Just didn't because the next thing 2088 02:06:13,160 --> 02:06:18,680 Speaker 1: coming up factor number twelve at the bottom of the list, 2089 02:06:18,840 --> 02:06:22,080 Speaker 1: because it's only important when you hit a heavy bone. 2090 02:06:22,920 --> 02:06:26,160 Speaker 1: Is an erraw mass or an arrow weight above the 2091 02:06:26,320 --> 02:06:31,120 Speaker 1: heavy bone threshold? Read that one of me again. It's 2092 02:06:31,440 --> 02:06:33,400 Speaker 1: arraw weight if you want to think of it that way, 2093 02:06:33,920 --> 02:06:38,480 Speaker 1: above the heavy bone threshold. Okay, that's gonna require a 2094 02:06:38,520 --> 02:06:41,080 Speaker 1: lot of explanation. It does, and Most people have it 2095 02:06:41,280 --> 02:06:46,000 Speaker 1: wrong because they read what's there and they see six 2096 02:06:46,440 --> 02:06:50,440 Speaker 1: fifty grains heavy bone threshold and they think, Okay, I 2097 02:06:50,520 --> 02:06:54,480 Speaker 1: got six grains air. It's gonna break heavy bone every time. Wrong. 2098 02:06:55,920 --> 02:06:59,520 Speaker 1: What we found is that every broadhead, doesn't matter how 2099 02:06:59,640 --> 02:07:04,680 Speaker 1: poor it is or how good it is, shows an increase, 2100 02:07:04,760 --> 02:07:08,760 Speaker 1: a marked increase in the bone breaching rate of heavy 2101 02:07:08,800 --> 02:07:13,000 Speaker 1: bone when the air and mass reaches right at the 2102 02:07:13,080 --> 02:07:16,880 Speaker 1: sifty grain, and it's literally within a few grains one 2103 02:07:16,920 --> 02:07:19,680 Speaker 1: way or the other of the six fifty. And it 2104 02:07:19,760 --> 02:07:22,760 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to vary whether you're shooting a compound or 2105 02:07:22,800 --> 02:07:26,240 Speaker 1: whether you're shooting a longboat or recurve with it. Very 2106 02:07:26,280 --> 02:07:28,280 Speaker 1: if you shot at at a hundred ft a second 2107 02:07:28,360 --> 02:07:32,000 Speaker 1: ort a second, not not much at all, doesn't seem 2108 02:07:32,040 --> 02:07:35,320 Speaker 1: to make any difference at all. Uh, when we've tried it, 2109 02:07:35,360 --> 02:07:37,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna do some more of it. It's some more 2110 02:07:37,520 --> 02:07:41,600 Speaker 1: verification of it, but at some point it should if 2111 02:07:41,640 --> 02:07:46,520 Speaker 1: we can get enough force, it should make a difference. 2112 02:07:46,880 --> 02:07:53,160 Speaker 1: But so far we don't have that. Um the basic premises, 2113 02:07:53,560 --> 02:07:56,360 Speaker 1: like we're talking about, the bones are there to protect 2114 02:07:56,400 --> 02:08:00,200 Speaker 1: the body, so they have all of these curves and 2115 02:08:00,400 --> 02:08:04,360 Speaker 1: bands but they also have articulations, so if they move, 2116 02:08:05,240 --> 02:08:09,000 Speaker 1: they also are flexible. They will flex. So when the 2117 02:08:09,240 --> 02:08:13,040 Speaker 1: error hits, it's got to push on this bone long 2118 02:08:13,160 --> 02:08:16,080 Speaker 1: enough to overcome the movement of the bone, the flexion 2119 02:08:16,120 --> 02:08:18,400 Speaker 1: of the bone before it ever starts to penetrate the bone. 2120 02:08:20,320 --> 02:08:24,360 Speaker 1: And that depends on how long it's able to push 2121 02:08:25,400 --> 02:08:32,400 Speaker 1: the impulse of force. And it's strictly weight related. So 2122 02:08:32,600 --> 02:08:38,800 Speaker 1: if you took a real poor broad head, took a 2123 02:08:38,880 --> 02:08:43,200 Speaker 1: muzzy bad to the bone, Yeah, it's bad to the bone, 2124 02:08:43,240 --> 02:08:47,560 Speaker 1: all right, Okay, it's it's it's going to have a 2125 02:08:47,960 --> 02:08:53,160 Speaker 1: pretty low penetration in heavy bone. It's not a great 2126 02:08:53,160 --> 02:08:57,520 Speaker 1: broad head for breaching heavy bone, and it might give 2127 02:08:57,600 --> 02:09:03,920 Speaker 1: you blow blow the heavy bone threshold. Get it above 2128 02:09:03,960 --> 02:09:09,160 Speaker 1: the heavy bone threshold, it might jump to. But you 2129 02:09:09,280 --> 02:09:12,000 Speaker 1: take the best broadheads, and it doesn't matter if the 2130 02:09:12,160 --> 02:09:17,520 Speaker 1: single bevel or double bevel. The best design broadheads good 2131 02:09:17,600 --> 02:09:21,200 Speaker 1: mechanical advantage two point six or higher seemed to be 2132 02:09:21,280 --> 02:09:23,200 Speaker 1: where the cutoff was on. There was the two point 2133 02:09:23,280 --> 02:09:28,920 Speaker 1: six uh bolow the heavy bone threshold. They might have 2134 02:09:29,120 --> 02:09:34,280 Speaker 1: a seven eight bone breaching right you hit the threshold, 2135 02:09:37,920 --> 02:09:41,400 Speaker 1: it is consistently and it doesn't matter if I shoot 2136 02:09:41,440 --> 02:09:44,440 Speaker 1: it with a forty pound re curve or shoot it 2137 02:09:44,480 --> 02:09:49,960 Speaker 1: with a compound. It worked. The foc of the ERA 2138 02:09:50,840 --> 02:09:54,720 Speaker 1: had no effect on heavy bone threshold strictly how long 2139 02:09:54,840 --> 02:09:59,600 Speaker 1: it was able to push on the bone. But once 2140 02:09:59,680 --> 02:10:03,280 Speaker 1: you can breach that bone, then the foc becomes really 2141 02:10:03,360 --> 02:10:07,960 Speaker 1: important because the post breaching penetration is going to depend 2142 02:10:08,480 --> 02:10:10,800 Speaker 1: on that foc because now that air is flying again. 2143 02:10:11,120 --> 02:10:14,080 Speaker 1: It's flying while it's putting on that bone too, but 2144 02:10:14,160 --> 02:10:16,640 Speaker 1: as it's also going to slow down the back of it. 2145 02:10:16,720 --> 02:10:20,720 Speaker 1: Wanta Flex FLC has a lot of that reduced impact 2146 02:10:20,800 --> 02:10:23,480 Speaker 1: paradox we were talking about. So it's gonna cut down 2147 02:10:23,520 --> 02:10:26,600 Speaker 1: the drag a lot once we breached that bone. But 2148 02:10:27,120 --> 02:10:30,240 Speaker 1: that's where the heavy bone threshold comes in. It does 2149 02:10:30,320 --> 02:10:32,960 Speaker 1: not mean that you can take a muzzy and put 2150 02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:35,400 Speaker 1: it on a six fifty grain ERA and go out 2151 02:10:35,440 --> 02:10:41,880 Speaker 1: and break health shoulders ain't gonna happen. But you put 2152 02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:48,280 Speaker 1: a good broadhead, quality steel, durable spit shine dropped home 2153 02:10:49,400 --> 02:10:52,280 Speaker 1: durable point on there. That's not gonna be skitting off 2154 02:10:52,400 --> 02:10:59,720 Speaker 1: bones everywhere. And yes, when we looked at the penetration 2155 02:11:00,080 --> 02:11:05,879 Speaker 1: sumized eras these were all uh e f O c eras. 2156 02:11:06,800 --> 02:11:08,640 Speaker 1: I don't think rae ultra is in there at all, 2157 02:11:09,840 --> 02:11:13,400 Speaker 1: and we're using several different bows. We had a hundred 2158 02:11:13,560 --> 02:11:19,200 Speaker 1: and nineties six hundred ninety six shots, eighteen percent of 2159 02:11:19,280 --> 02:11:23,760 Speaker 1: those with a forty pound bare formula silver recurve traveling 2160 02:11:23,840 --> 02:11:27,080 Speaker 1: at a velocity of a massive hundred and nineteen feet 2161 02:11:27,160 --> 02:11:32,160 Speaker 1: per second shot at twenty yards on buffalo, and go 2162 02:11:32,240 --> 02:11:34,160 Speaker 1: all the way up to eighty two pound bows. So 2163 02:11:34,200 --> 02:11:36,320 Speaker 1: we had we had the forty pound, we had a 2164 02:11:36,360 --> 02:11:40,640 Speaker 1: fifty four pound long bowl, we had a uh seventy pound, 2165 02:11:40,920 --> 02:11:45,080 Speaker 1: sixty four pound longbow, seventy pound long sixty two, sixty 2166 02:11:45,080 --> 02:11:47,800 Speaker 1: two pound longbow, seventy pound long bowl, and eighty two 2167 02:11:47,880 --> 02:11:53,400 Speaker 1: pound and all of these errors had a dent breaching 2168 02:11:53,520 --> 02:12:00,800 Speaker 1: rate hundred ninety six shots on trophy size consecutive consecutive 2169 02:12:01,160 --> 02:12:06,280 Speaker 1: trophy size buffalo. What bone this is the ribs, which 2170 02:12:06,400 --> 02:12:11,960 Speaker 1: is about eight inch eight tenths of an inch of 2171 02:12:12,080 --> 02:12:15,560 Speaker 1: pretty solid bone, so heavier than the scapul and the 2172 02:12:15,600 --> 02:12:19,280 Speaker 1: elk oh, yeah, heavier than the scapul on help absolutely, 2173 02:12:21,080 --> 02:12:24,200 Speaker 1: and all of these errors would have been every factor 2174 02:12:24,360 --> 02:12:32,320 Speaker 1: on there penetration maximized. Mm hmm Okay, let's do this 2175 02:12:32,400 --> 02:12:39,200 Speaker 1: real quick. What should what should folks be like? What 2176 02:12:39,240 --> 02:12:43,320 Speaker 1: should folks be using? Well, that depends on what they're 2177 02:12:43,320 --> 02:12:46,920 Speaker 1: willing to live with. Any factor you use, you think 2178 02:12:46,960 --> 02:12:50,000 Speaker 1: of these as a tool box. Any factor you put 2179 02:12:50,040 --> 02:12:52,200 Speaker 1: off that list and add to your error that you're 2180 02:12:52,240 --> 02:12:56,560 Speaker 1: currently using is going to improve the performance of that error. 2181 02:12:56,560 --> 02:12:58,880 Speaker 1: But what do you mean what they're willing to live with? Well, 2182 02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:03,600 Speaker 1: some people won't. They have this mindset that, oh, if 2183 02:13:03,680 --> 02:13:07,240 Speaker 1: I shoot a six fifth grain Era, my trajectory is 2184 02:13:07,280 --> 02:13:09,520 Speaker 1: just gonna boom if I shoot you hear it all 2185 02:13:09,560 --> 02:13:12,080 Speaker 1: the time. If I shoot an e fo c Era, 2186 02:13:12,640 --> 02:13:14,960 Speaker 1: he's just gonna go out their nose dive. It doesn't. 2187 02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:18,200 Speaker 1: It actually shoots flatter. If you take two errors that 2188 02:13:18,320 --> 02:13:22,080 Speaker 1: are the exact same except for the foc shot out 2189 02:13:22,120 --> 02:13:25,440 Speaker 1: of the same boat, the foc or ultra e fo 2190 02:13:25,520 --> 02:13:29,240 Speaker 1: c era is going to shoot flatter, so because it's 2191 02:13:29,280 --> 02:13:32,120 Speaker 1: conserving energy from the paradox coming off of the boat. Yeah, 2192 02:13:32,160 --> 02:13:33,520 Speaker 1: do you I mean, do you think it's fair to 2193 02:13:33,600 --> 02:13:39,720 Speaker 1: say that people's um that people are prioritizing target, their 2194 02:13:39,760 --> 02:13:43,839 Speaker 1: prioritizing target shooting over killing, their prioritizing hitting the animals, 2195 02:13:43,920 --> 02:13:47,520 Speaker 1: that are killing the animal, and the emphasis needs to 2196 02:13:47,560 --> 02:13:52,480 Speaker 1: be on killing the animal. And there is what we 2197 02:13:52,560 --> 02:13:53,960 Speaker 1: try to talk about, you know a little bit with 2198 02:13:54,080 --> 02:13:56,440 Speaker 1: some of the new stuff that we well, we've got 2199 02:13:56,480 --> 02:13:59,000 Speaker 1: a couple of the videos out now that that Darryl 2200 02:13:59,080 --> 02:14:05,080 Speaker 1: and Troy did. UH. The the parable of the shot, 2201 02:14:06,040 --> 02:14:09,640 Speaker 1: the lighter era as it goes out once it starts 2202 02:14:09,680 --> 02:14:14,839 Speaker 1: to lose velocity. The heavier era, even though it's slower, 2203 02:14:15,520 --> 02:14:17,920 Speaker 1: doesn't do that. It doesn't knows dive like that. It 2204 02:14:18,040 --> 02:14:22,360 Speaker 1: carries it on through. So as you get to these 2205 02:14:22,480 --> 02:14:27,480 Speaker 1: longer ranges, it actually carries It's not not the big 2206 02:14:27,640 --> 02:14:30,640 Speaker 1: drop that people are expecting when you get out there. 2207 02:14:30,680 --> 02:14:33,880 Speaker 1: And this is some actual data using those Doppler uh 2208 02:14:34,280 --> 02:14:36,680 Speaker 1: and you a whole series of tuned arras, all all 2209 02:14:36,680 --> 02:14:39,960 Speaker 1: these tuned to the bows. So so we're starting to 2210 02:14:39,960 --> 02:14:42,920 Speaker 1: collect the hard data on this that is it's not 2211 02:14:43,120 --> 02:14:47,000 Speaker 1: what people are thinking is. And the pin gaps, if 2212 02:14:47,040 --> 02:14:49,160 Speaker 1: you look at the pin gaps with the light eras 2213 02:14:49,200 --> 02:14:51,680 Speaker 1: they go like this like this, you get longer range, 2214 02:14:51,720 --> 02:14:54,680 Speaker 1: you get bigger and bigger pin gaps. With these heavy errors, 2215 02:14:54,760 --> 02:14:57,880 Speaker 1: you don't the pin gaps sticking system stay consistent all 2216 02:14:57,880 --> 02:15:01,200 Speaker 1: the way down because it's carrying that parable of the 2217 02:15:01,400 --> 02:15:04,720 Speaker 1: trajectory out better. You could probably explain this better than me, 2218 02:15:05,320 --> 02:15:07,680 Speaker 1: that my forte is from when it hitstilly gets out 2219 02:15:07,720 --> 02:15:13,840 Speaker 1: of them. So, uh, what would be like in your mind? Um, 2220 02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:17,000 Speaker 1: if you're just gonna throw something like hard and fasts, 2221 02:15:18,160 --> 02:15:21,040 Speaker 1: people should be thinking about if they're if they're focusing 2222 02:15:21,080 --> 02:15:23,640 Speaker 1: on killing the animal, they should be thinking about broadheads 2223 02:15:23,640 --> 02:15:27,040 Speaker 1: and the what they should be thinking about these factors 2224 02:15:27,080 --> 02:15:30,240 Speaker 1: and what they do to their air performance? And in 2225 02:15:30,320 --> 02:15:34,440 Speaker 1: the what grain weight? Well, myself sifty grains. I will 2226 02:15:34,520 --> 02:15:37,480 Speaker 1: not shoot an error below that in a game. And 2227 02:15:37,560 --> 02:15:40,360 Speaker 1: what weight broadhead? I try to get the highest f 2228 02:15:41,080 --> 02:15:43,200 Speaker 1: oc I can with the light of shaft. So I 2229 02:15:43,360 --> 02:15:48,040 Speaker 1: generally am using three grain plus broadheads on brass or 2230 02:15:48,080 --> 02:15:51,520 Speaker 1: steel inserts uh to get as much weight as it 2231 02:15:51,560 --> 02:15:56,000 Speaker 1: can up front, generally with sometimes with internal footing behind 2232 02:15:56,120 --> 02:15:58,560 Speaker 1: that in the shaft are a collar on the front, 2233 02:15:59,240 --> 02:16:02,800 Speaker 1: uh to you have the shaft not being driven in 2234 02:16:04,040 --> 02:16:07,400 Speaker 1: um and keep it from fracturing up front. Um, but 2235 02:16:07,560 --> 02:16:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm trying to put. What I'm trying to do is 2236 02:16:10,440 --> 02:16:13,680 Speaker 1: get as much weight into this little ball as I can. 2237 02:16:14,760 --> 02:16:16,840 Speaker 1: If you could make all the way to that era, 2238 02:16:17,960 --> 02:16:25,920 Speaker 1: a neutron side sucker penetrate to the tank wanted. Now 2239 02:16:26,080 --> 02:16:30,920 Speaker 1: neutron bombs do it. Yeah, it sounds like bo hunters 2240 02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:34,040 Speaker 1: need a science lesson. Well, a lot of it does 2241 02:16:34,160 --> 02:16:36,960 Speaker 1: because they've this stuff has been sold to them in 2242 02:16:37,160 --> 02:16:45,440 Speaker 1: magazines for the last seventy years. That all speed, speed, speed, light, fast, 2243 02:16:46,040 --> 02:16:49,360 Speaker 1: multiply broadheads, they cut bigger holes, they bleed more. Now. 2244 02:16:49,480 --> 02:16:52,440 Speaker 1: I tried doing I tried doing some blood trail data, 2245 02:16:53,360 --> 02:16:55,680 Speaker 1: and uh, with a set of animals, you don't get 2246 02:16:55,720 --> 02:16:58,520 Speaker 1: a lot of it. But if I had to put 2247 02:16:58,560 --> 02:17:01,520 Speaker 1: it down, the blood trail has no bearing on the 2248 02:17:01,560 --> 02:17:04,920 Speaker 1: broad heads you use. What's going to matter is where 2249 02:17:05,000 --> 02:17:08,080 Speaker 1: you hit that animal, what you hit inside that animal, 2250 02:17:08,320 --> 02:17:10,080 Speaker 1: Do you have an exit wound, and where does that 2251 02:17:10,120 --> 02:17:13,400 Speaker 1: exit moon to locate. If you've got a high entrance, 2252 02:17:13,480 --> 02:17:15,920 Speaker 1: high exit, you could have fifteen blades. You're gonna have 2253 02:17:15,920 --> 02:17:19,000 Speaker 1: a poor broad blood trail if you hit him in 2254 02:17:19,040 --> 02:17:21,240 Speaker 1: the back and it comes out his stern um. I 2255 02:17:21,320 --> 02:17:23,160 Speaker 1: don't care. If you're shooting a field point, you're gonna 2256 02:17:23,160 --> 02:17:24,959 Speaker 1: have a blood trailer. You know. That's interesting. I had 2257 02:17:24,959 --> 02:17:27,480 Speaker 1: a client once hit an elk with like a three 2258 02:17:27,600 --> 02:17:30,360 Speaker 1: thirty eight windmag I believe it was hit him high. 2259 02:17:30,959 --> 02:17:33,200 Speaker 1: Eventually we found him, but guess what we didn't have 2260 02:17:34,640 --> 02:17:37,119 Speaker 1: something happens with guns. Ye, not been of difference. All 2261 02:17:37,160 --> 02:17:39,840 Speaker 1: the bloods inside the cabin. How to fill up they're bleeding, 2262 02:17:39,920 --> 02:17:41,640 Speaker 1: but yeah, it takes a while to fill it. Like 2263 02:17:41,800 --> 02:17:44,240 Speaker 1: just cavity ups big.
