·1 hr 5 min·5 clips

Cody Griffin from Easton Archery arrives after a chaotic flight delay, ready to reveal which arrow you should actually shoot.

The episode begins with host welcoming Cody Griffin from Easton Archery, who arrived late due to a flight delay. Cody discusses his background growing up in North Carolina and working at Extreme Outfitters before joining Easton in March 2023. He describes the Easton team, including Gary and Tyson Yates, and their roles. The conversation shifts to arrow technology, with Cody explaining Easton's AC (aluminum carbon) process and the X10 parallel pro as a high-precision shaft. He emphasizes that spine consistency around the shaft is more important than straightness or weight, referencing tests and James Yates' arrow audit. The discussion covers broadhead selection for elk, comparing mechanical and fixed blades, with Cody noting shot selection is key. He details his tuning process, preferring to adjust cams over rests and using bare shafts to diagnose issues. Cody highlights Easton's commitment to U.S. manufacturing for hunting arrows and their dealer-focused sales model. The episode includes personal anecdotes about Cody's upcoming wedding, his fiancée, and his lack of elk hunting experience. It concludes with rapid-fire questions on his whitetail setup and plans for a factory tour in 2025.
