Aron welcomes pro athlete Shane Dorian to the podcast.  Shane is a world famous professional surfer from Hawaii, having spent years in the competitive surfing circuit.  Now Shane focuses his time on big wave surfing and is considered one of the best at it.  Since Aron isn't looking at getting into surfing the waves of Wyoming, they opt to chat about hunting and the new UBCO e-bike company Shane has partnered with.  Great conversation between a couple legends!

Aron has been testing broadheads since Christ was a kid.  With hundreds of animals taken with dozens of various broadheads over the years, this multi year endeavor has culminated in this extensive review. Aron put the final paces on several brands including Schwacker, Evolution, Sevr, Grim Reaper, G5, Bowmar Archery, RMG Gear, Iron Will, Annihilator, Black Hornet, VPA, and Slick Trick.

With the help of good friend John Lusk from Lusk Archery Adventures, they discuss their findings from testing all the broadheads.  John is an engineer by education, so his tests are setup to run each broadheads through the same tests to provide comparable data points.  He tests for cut size, penetration, edge sharpness, edge retention, and durability.

Aron is back!  Finally after month in the wilderness, he sits down with a couple of the heavy hitters of Elite Archery, Darrin Christenberry and Nathan Brooks.  Aron had been testing the new 2024 bow on several of his hunts this year, and may or may not have "leaked" a photo of the new bow before the release date in one of his photos!  With the pixel peepers of the internet, it didn't take long for them to to disect and decipher what Aron had been using and word spread.  But there is no such thing as bad publicity!  Aron and the guys chat about the new lineup and the exciting new offering from Elite!
