Bill Vanderheyden returns to the podcast to discuss new findings from the University of Colorado study, which looked at accuracy, stability, drag, wind drift, spin up, and sound. He offers tips for improving flight with broadheads. We also talk about the new heads he has coming out at Iron Will.

0:00.0 | Welcome back to another episode of cutting the Distance. Today I'm joined by my good friend |
0:15.4 | Bill Vanderhayton. He's back on the show. He is the founder and owner of Ironwell |
0:20.1 | Broadheads. I like him. He's an engineer and because of that I love that he spends a lot of |
0:24.9 | time and his energy you're researching what works, why it works can it be improved on you know all |
0:30.7 | that stuff that us engineers kind of end up nerding out on I find cool and I feel that if I can make that connection from the engineering side |
0:38.9 | back to the hunting side and then kind of figure out how that works with real world results right like one thing and I'm sure Bill can |
0:46.7 | A test of this like you get taught in in school or in college you know everything out of this book is cookie cutter, but then they met, |
0:54.4 | they, I had some professors always say, like, don't let your studies or your book Trump what happens out in the real world, right? |
1:02.9 | So there's this thing as an engineer |
1:05.0 | where it's like, yeah, all this book tells us |
1:06.9 | all these cookie cutter solutions, |
1:08.8 | but yet take what's happening out in the real world over all that. |
1:11.5 | So in hopes today we're gonna to talk about broadheads, arrows, |
1:14.8 | flight, all that, and then I'm going to ask Bill a lot of questions |
1:18.6 | on like, this is what the science says, |
1:20.4 | or this is what the engineering or the physics say. have you found that's what works out in the |
1:24.2 | field and then you know how is that translated to real world results so I'm excited about this |
1:28.6 | one we've had Bill on the podcast I believe once if not twice before and always enjoy our conversation so welcome to the show bill |
1:36.2 | Thanks Jason. Thanks for having me on. Yeah, I'm looking forward to the discussion today |
1:40.3 | Yeah, you know so last time we touched on, I think you were a year through the study at the University of Colorado. |
1:46.0 | You've been kind of heading that up. Can you kind of give us an update on that? I know you were looking at you know arrows, weights, veins, you know, you |
1:55.9 | know drag wind drift kind of it's a it's a big question but if you can maybe just kind of give |
