He emphasizes the importance of kinetic energy and accuracy in bow hunting. In this conversation, Carrie and Gary discuss the importance of arrows in archery and bowhunting. They cover topics such as flat shooting, arrow selection based on speed and kinetic energy, the design of Easton's new access traditional arrow, the physics of arrows including kinetic energy and momentum, and the importance of shot placement and penetration. They also touch on the concept of kinetic energy density and the minimum requirements for kinetic energy in relation to hunting different species. Gary emphasizes the importance of accuracy and finding the right arrow for each individual's needs.
 
Takeaways
Easton Archery is a leading manufacturer of arrows for bow hunting
Different types of arrows have different benefits for specific hunting situations
The injection arrows and Deep Six technology offer improved performance and accuracy
A full metal jacket arrow is recommended for hunting whitetails from a tree stand
Maximizing kinetic energy and accuracy are key factors in successful bow hunting Flat shooting arrows are designed for speed and a flatter trajectory, which is beneficial for longer shots and 3D shooting.
Arrow selection should consider a balance between speed and kinetic energy, with shot placement being the key factor for hunting success.
Easton's new access traditional arrow is designed with inspiration from Doug Easton's original arrows and offers a throwback look with modern performance.
Kinetic energy is important for driving the broadhead through the target, and shorter draw archers may need to focus on maximizing kinetic energy due to their lower power stroke.
Kinetic energy density, which focuses energy into a smaller diameter, can lead to increased penetration and is an important factor to consider when choosing arrows.
There are no specific minimum requirements for kinetic energy in relation to hunting legally, but a threshold of around 40 foot pounds is often recommended for big game hunting.
Accuracy and shot placement are more important than maximizing kinetic energy, and choosing the right arrow can help increase energy without sacrificing accuracy.
Easton offers a wide range of arrows for different types of archery and archers of all sizes and skill levels.

Curt McAllister, the Midwest Public Relations Manager at Toyota Motor North America, recently discussed various aspects of Toyota's involvement in the outdoor industry. Covering 14 states in the South from Tennessee to the West Dakotas, Curt oversees the Outdoor Communications at the national level and is a key figure in the Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers.
During the discussion, Curt highlighted Toyota's commitment to giving back to the outdoors, exemplified by their sponsorship of events like Bass Masters, Major League Fishing, and support for environmental projects. Toyota's involvement extends to funding initiatives like the Bison Project with the Sioux tribe and sponsoring National Public Lands Day for 25 years.
As an Executive Board Member of Aglow, a scholarship program started nine years ago, Curt emphasized the importance of attracting younger members to keep the organization vibrant. The Toyota Let’s Go Places scholarships program, part of Aglow, covers travel, registration, and first-year membership, offering mentorship and job assistance.
The conversation also delved into Toyota's vehicles, such as the Sequoia twin turbo V6 Hybrid and the upcoming Land Cruiser designed for off-road adventures. Curt addressed the issue of high pricing, attributing it to inflation and emphasizing Toyota's disapproval of price padding by dealers.
In terms of initiatives, Toyota sponsors Bass Masters, has a fishing team as part of NASCAR, and actively contributes to environmental sustainment goals, focusing on pollinators and supporting habitats for butterflies, bees, and bats in 13 states. The Bison Project, managed by Native Americans, stands out as the largest of its kind.
