This is part 1 of a few podcasts we are doing with the intent to cover everything you need for putting together a great bow for hunting. This episode starts with our equipment picks and why we decided to use those products. We talk about the actual bows we shoot, and take a deep dive into arrow selection. We get a little nerdy when it comes to arrow energy, momentum, and what we think is important and why. We also cover, sites, arrow rests, releases, quivers, stabilizers and a whole lot more. In part 2 of the podcast, we will go into how we set everything up and tune our bows for max performance and efficiency.
