  This guy needs to receive funding from the Pittman-Robertson Act.

  Dude, I think one of the most underplayed notions in all of your videos is how intellectual you are. In everything you have done, you have challenged, very articulately, the problems within the systems, in a way that manufacturers, product designers, and even government agencies conduct their work. When I first saw this video I thought, &quot;this guy is beyond what he has developed himself on&quot;, yet the product continued the search for answers within the archery world and will change the landscape of archery in the future. You are literally changing hunting for the future, in a good way, and I hope you are handsomely rewarded.<br><br>Beyond that, I love that you only provide findings and thoughts without invoking demands or truths. I watched the whole video thinking you would eventually say what was right and what was wrong. You did neither. You gave findings--and that invokes thought. <br><br>Well done.

  Wow, as a 50 year bowhunter and an engineer, that was one of the best videos I have ever seen. You took very complex physics and explained it in plain English. Hats off to you!

  I have been an avid bowhunter and archer for nearly 60 years. It has been a lifestyle rather than a hobby. I have watched VERY few you tube videos as I quickly became disallusioned by the authors and the BS. Often the information was not only incorrect but presented by a &quot;host&quot; who had been shooting a bow for a short period of time. I expected your video to be more of the same. Your presentation was like a breath of fresh air. Although you are &quot;youthful&quot; you have been driven by the desire to truly discover what is real. It is refreshing to watch a video that can be truly useful especially to a new bowhunter. The usual &quot;infomercial&quot; is just the opposite. I congratulate you ! In addition you have my thanks. Now I&apos;ll go back to watching the remainder of your excellent production.

  Proof that arrow flight is in fact, rocket science! Love it

  Just finished the video i’ve been bow hunting my entire life and became at bow tech 7 years ago and I learned something new watching this video. Very well spoken and intellectual. You sir are a genius. Not to mention, I make hunting videos myself, and I can only imagine how long and how much effort it took you to put this thing together. Well done.

  I agree. My son&apos;s crossbow we can shoot targets out to 80 yards. But we won&apos;t shoot deer out to that distance. We shoot long range to boost our confidence that when we&apos;re 40 yards or under that it&apos;s a chip shot. Most my shots on deer now are under 25 yards. Proper stand placement with gear that&apos;s been properly tuned is a deadly combination.

  I&apos;m 63 years old, been involved in engineering since 1985. &nbsp;I&apos;ve been an archery fan and bow hunter since I was 10, hunting at 12. I&apos;m very impressed in your arrow to FOC to weight evaluation. &nbsp;I shoot a high end bow, at 66 lbs with 446 grain arrows. I can shoot very good long &nbsp;range groups. And have a &quot;solid&quot; wall of MI deer racks. I also have made archery products since 2001. Well done.. Great video.

  This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen regarding archery or arrows specifically. Incredible job putting this together.

  Key takeaway: the physics of arrow flight, like so many things in life, are far more complex than most people recognize, particularly those who love their simplified metrics.<br><br>Thanks for doing a great job of making this approachable, at least for those willing to put a little effort into watching it. Fascinating stuff, especially from someone with a degree heavy in &quot;arrowdynamics&quot;. 😂

  FYI: I Zap-A-Gap&apos;d my son&apos;s Vortex football after filming. No Vortexes were harmed in the making of this video.

  I used to skin Deer during Bow and Shotgun Season in WNY back in my early teens to mid 20s for a living. In all those years of skinning I probably found over 2 dozen broken Broadheads lodged in Whitetails. I&apos;ve found them lodged in the back of the neck, in the spine, the ribs, the front shoulders and even in the hips. Some of them had to have been there for multiple seasons, bc they were fully encapsulated and had tissue growing through them. But the really screwed up part was not one of those Broadheads I removed were ever what actually killed those Deer, it was always another Bow Hunter who could actually shoot or someone with a Shotgun, as this was pre-rifle, that killed them. <br>I&apos;m sure the numbers of injured Deer has gone up since then as Archery has become more popular, compared to back in the mid 90s and early 2000s when I was skinning Deer, so this is definitely something that needed to be said. 👍👍
