Welcome to the Huntback Country podcast. This is episode number 533, and our guest is Darren Cooper. As you will hear, Darren is a repeat

guest, or as he said, a repeat offender of the podcast. Darren is a former engineer from Hoyt,

and he's extremely experienced, not only on the engineering side, but just very

practically, as a shooter and a hunter. Darren is always a wealth of knowledge. It's always good

to speak with him. And if you haven't yet, definitely look at the links in the show description

for Darren's previous episodes with us. We've taken some deep

dives into archery and broadhead and vein discussions with Darren in the past. We've actually

chatted some rifle discussions with Darren. We told an amazing story of a Frank Church sheep hunt,

and Darren was also part of our expert roundtable,

which was a great series we did in the past.

All those links will be in the show description.

Today, we wanted to chat with Darren, and as you'll hear Steve kind of explain,

we wanted to keep things pretty basic and high level,

but as the title of this podcast implies, everything's advanced with archery.

It doesn't have to be.

Like archery at its essence could be very simple, especially for traditional archery, for the stick and the string.

But when guys get into compound bows and not just shoot them at a very casual level,

but when you really want to understand what is happening with archery, whether it is the bow

itself, bow components like accessories, sites, releases, or you get into the arrow and the broadhead

and veins.

There's just a lot.

There's a lot of details.
