And the What's up everybody? It is October 1st and I have not been on the

podcast for two and a half months. I've been in Northern British Columbia, guiding mountain

goat and stone sheep hunters and doing all kinds of hood rat shit and then came

back and helped out my buddy Mike on a mountain goat hunt in Colorado and I'm

finally back in the office.

And this is the first podcast I've done in quite some time.

I'm super excited about this one.

The guy I've got on the podcast I've followed along with probably since 1999 maybe 2000 time frame

accomplished tournament Archer as well as you, in my opinion, the owner and kind of pioneer of one of the greatest, if not the

greatest, string manufacturer in the market today.

And that's Eric Griggs with Gas Boest so dude I appreciate you hopping on here with me

Yeah, you bet Aaron. Thanks for having me. Yeah, yeah for sure. I'm normally you know like

I'm trying to see here it was a pleasant break yet you know you and I have just you know just met but that I really didn't want to come back to be honest with you. I only came back from

Northern BC to help my buddy. It was a very good break for me to live on the

side of the mountain kind of get some mental clarity and then you know also you know

having you on which is you know string maker has nothing really to do with what I

was doing up in BC but I was able to, while I'm up there, kind of dissect different gear, take

time to look through things, go through notes, go through messages, emails.

I do a ton of Q&As, and one of the questions that I get,

more than really anything, is should I replace my factory string?

So, you know, before we dive into that,

tell everybody a little bit about yourself
