Summary

Dale Perry, owner of Evolution Outdoors, gives listeners insight into the design process for his latest broadheads, Jekyll & Hyde. The Evolution of Jekyll & HydeAfter inventing the original GraveDigger Broadhead, I had to be innovative and creative in order to compete with myself when designing JEKYLL & HYDE. A great product always provides a solution to a problem. One obstacle many hunters face, especially when traveling to hunt, is that each state has their own broadhead regulations. I thought it would be helpful if a bowhunter could easily convert their mechanical broadhead to a fixed in a matter of seconds. This eliminates the need to shoot different broadheads in different states. With that in mind, I developed the first of its kind, patent-pending, interchangeable ferrule; allowing the hunter to choose a fixed or mechanical setup based on their hunt. During development and extensive testing, I found that the arrow mechanics and flight pattern did not change between the two configurations. Using today’s technology, I was able to create a better, patent-pending, blade locking system that ensures consistent deployment every time. With that, the HYDE was born. Knowing I had the pleasure of designing a fixed blade broadhead as well, I add a second one-inch fixed blade creating atypical four blade cut, known as the JEKYLL. We are truly committed to produce and stand behind the highest quality products in the world. With our high standards in quality and machining we continue to use our local expert, Nick Fisher, from AAE, in Prescott, Arizona. With Nick’s working knowledge of machining and archery, the quality and workmanship are top notch. Our processes are evolving as technology changes and our products are tested to the highest standards. We strive to always be at the leading edge in quality, innovation, and customer service.

0:12.0	He beat the shit out of Tony Ferguson. But above and beyond that, just as exciting, I have got Dale Perry,
0:19.0	owner of Evolution Outdoors. And actually, I'm not going to go over the
0:24.0	huge announcement Dale of what you've kind of done in the industry. You can kind of give the run down,
0:28.0	but Dale builds a badass broadhead and one of my favorite mechanical broadheads of all time.
0:34.0	But Dale, thanks for coming on. Hey, it's a pleasure to be here.
0:37.0	Give a run down, man. Like you had no limits archery before, which was the grave digger broadhead.
0:43.0	I killed a ton of stuff with that. You invented that and then you kind of tell the history of that.
0:49.0	And then how the Jekyll and Hyde broadhead got started and that, you know, start an evolution outdoors.

1:01.0	I grew up in archery as a kid and then got out of it and did all the adult stuff and got back into archery.
1:09.0	And when I got back in, it was a, it was a fixed or mechanical separation line between the two.
1:18.0	And when I first said, I think I can build a better broadhead. People laughed at me and said,
1:24.0	all everything's been done and everything's been designed.
1:27.0	And I had a lot of people in the industry basically shrugged me off.
1:32.0	And so I went to, went to start designing and the grave digger was born after many failures.
1:40.0	And it really just kind of started grassroots and no advertising budget.
1:46.0	None of that. And when it, when we finally got our patent and we really started getting a market to it,
1:55.0	we started really just knocking down animals. And that's what it came down to is the performance of the broadhead.
2:02.0	So that company grew and grew and in 2015 we were approached by Plano, Plano's energy and they were interested in buying the product.
