Beau Martonik chats with James Yates about hunting, gear optimization, and his Arrow Ballistic Study. They dive into everything that was included in the most comprehensive hunting arrow study ever done, including arrow diameter, vane type, noise, drag, lift recovery, and more. Yates also discusses broadheads, comparing their design and efficiency. They conclude with tips on preparation in hunting and an introduction to his YouTube channel, "Yates in the Backcountry," which aims to enhance hunters' understanding of gear performance.
