Ep.42: The Ashby Foundation

The Ashby Foundation- with Rob Neilson, and Rob Hummel.

Yep! You guessed it, arrow penetration. Fixed vs mechanical. Slow and heavy, vs light and fast. If this topic is not thee most argued topic in all of archery hunting, then I don't know what is. I know year in and year out it comes up on social media when you undoubtably will see one side of the industry "professionals" touting the light and fast side while taking what some would consider extremely long shots with archery tackle.

Then there is the other side with very heavy, high FOC (front of center) arrows taking really up close and personal shots. One thing I know for sure, each side is very passionate about what they believe.

If I'm being honest, I enjoy both arguments. I think it definitely comes down to situation(s). What you're hunting (animals). Where you're hunting (terrain). And, what you're shooting (type of bow).

If you go back a few episodes I had Tim Gillingham on. To say Tim had a strong opinion of the "light and fast" That would be an understatement. But hey- It's Tim Gillingham, one of the world's best archers and a very accomplished hunter so his opinion counts, right!?

If you're a data nerd you should check out their website and listen to this podcast, it's packed full of data!

What say you? Light and fast- or slow and heavy.
