Traditional Outdoors Podcast – Episode #29 – Fun with the 12 Factors of Arrow Penetration

Arrow penetration on a feral hog

In Episode #29 Nick and I welcome Todd Smith and Isaac Jestus back to the podcast to discuss Dr. Ed Ashby’s 12 Factors for Arrow Penetration. As you will hear we had a LOT of fun and probably laughed more during this recording than any we have done to date. We discussed our personal thoughts on some of these 12 points, which we feel strongest about and there may be a few surprises regarding some of the factors and how they relate, or perhaps don’t relate to the average hunter and game he is pursuing. This really was a lot of fun and even though it did run a little long I think you will find this is mostly because we were all having a lot of fun.
