Summary

Jeremy Dugger (@muleymojo) returns to answer your questions after he recently joined us to discuss the data he has collected from 500+ bowhunters on broadhead performance, shot distance, arrow weight, and lethality. The listener-submitted questions that we discuss in this episode include: What additional data points does Jeremy wish he had collected in his samples? How does Jeremy think about the physical vs mental aspects of shooting a bow? How do bowhunter decrease their wound rate? What is Jeremy’s shot sequence, mantra, or process? Does a bow or arrow cause “flyers” in a group, or are flyers the shooter’s fault? Should bowhunters practice most at 30-40 yards, since that was the highest wound rate in Jeremy’s data? What is Jeremy’s process for bow and broadhead tuning? How much does arrow tolerance (straightness) matter for bowhunters? How does arrow diameter affect forgiveness and tuning? What advice does Jeremy have for bowhunters who want to become self-reliant for bow setup, bow tuning, arrow building, etc? And more...

0:28.4	In episode 512, Jeremy joined us to discuss bowhunter data on broadhead, lethality and shot distance.
0:37.4	And we talked about this data that Jeremy has collected over the years
0:41.7	and what he can summarize and share as insights from that data.
0:47.5	All this data comes from hunters and their experiences in the field with wound rates
0:53.0	and how successful they were or when a non-successful
0:58.0	recovery of an animal happened after shooting it with their bow, we can pull from that as well.
1:04.0	So in that first episode, we looked at things like shot distance and arrow weight and
1:08.8	bow draw weight and really summarized some takeaways from that and it was a
1:14.5	great conversation we had a ton of follow-up from you guys wanting to hear more from jeremy both about
1:21.6	that data as well as some other topics and so that's what we dive into today We do talk a bit about the data and extrapolate more
1:29.9	on that. But we talk as well about the physical versus mental aspects of shooting a bow.
1:36.3	What is Jeremy's personal shot sequence or mantra, his shot process? If bow hunters should
1:43.5	practice most at 30 to 40 yards, since that's where
1:47.6	the highest wind rate was in Jeremy's data, what is Jeremy's process for bow and broadhead
1:53.3	tuning, and a whole lot more. If you are a bow hunter, whether new or very experienced and seasoned, I know you can take away something from this conversation.
2:06.0	So thanks for tuning in and checking it out.
