Please share and follow! One of the most impactful mini-studies from the Arrow Ballistics Study... comparing arrow group sizes with arrow end squared versus not squared. No matter how or who cuts your arrow, you should always be squaring both ends of your arrow with an arrow squaring tool. It’s super easy to do and as seen from the controlled arrow groups here, squaring significantly increases accuracy! Check out more detail on this mini-study at the @precisioncutarchery results website in the results section. As always, if you are interested in giving back to the study to help fund our research please consider purchasing a hat or shirt through our giveaway. Link in Bio!

But the ends of my arrows are round...

True facts! There are a significant amount of G forces going through the shaft of that arrow. If anything is off by a half a degree; down range hundred yards you will see it. Most people think it’s the shooter and most of the time it is however chasing perfection with crap tools. you’ll never get perfection.

Who doesn't square both ends of their arrow?

New archer, what does squaring up mean?

I've been doing that for at least 15 years. I thought it was standard practice?

Potentially controversial hypothesis, but could it be that nock tuning might have more to do with aligning a nock to an unsquare shaft than to the stiff side of the arrow? Just a hypothesis.

Doesn’t that happen at the factory? I thought that was the best place to have the arrow squared. Oh whoa isn’t me. 😳

@yates_in_the_backcountry did you guys square both ends on arrows from the factory? Or is this a recommendation for arrows cut on both ends?

Which end being out of square has more impact on accuracy?

Did the study find that it is more important to square one end over the other? Nock end more important? @precisioncutarchery

Countless hours burned in that study and the best thing that came out was - square up your carbon- really?? 🤔

Well, cat’s out of the bag about the new @kifaru_intl Hoodlum being released! The Hoodlum is my favorite pack bag of all time and this new version is epic! I helped design this new bag and I’ve used it hard this spring! Updates to the wing pockets to be bigger and a more user friendly shape. These pockets can now hold a BTX-115 spotter! The new sleeve at the bottom is a great addition for weapon storage and I love, love, love the new full length zipper through the snow collar!
Found an unexpected pocket of goodness on a quick shed hike this week! Crazy thick oak brush can really hide these buggers and shred your clothes and skin lol!
Lots of time on the water the last few years to catch a fish like that first one! He’s a giant and I’m stoked to have caught him with my pops and my son on our boat. Biggest laker I’ve caught, and he sure made it a struggle to get him in on my lightweight jigging setup! The @magscustomrods handled business though and we won the battle! That second fish ain’t no slouch either! Both well over 30 lbs, and that first one may be pushing out of the 30s! Swipe to see some more of the fish we’ve caught this spring! Thanks to my buddy @kurtalexander for the teachings over the years! #laker #laketrout #mackinaw #mack ##monstersdoexist #fishing
day 2 testing is going DOWN. 🔥 thank you @eastonarchery @codygriffin_ and @yates_in_the_backcountry for letting me come through and check it out and get some @ollincompany footage as well. excited for these results in the future.. 📊 #eastonarchery #archerygear #archery🎯 #nockonnation
Just getting back from nearly 2 weeks hunting bucks in the desert. Hunting was extremely tough this year with crazy hot and drought conditions but we still managed to eak out some good bucks for my buddies @arrr_block and @brodygoesoutside to stalk. Here I was able to help Ryan get inside of 23 yards on a nice 4 point and he executed a near perfect stalk. Unfortunately it didn’t quite come together for him. Never found a next level buck that met my goal for the hunt so I never went on a stalk myself in nearly two weeks of hunting, just glassed and searched the whole time and helped my buddies on stalks pretty much every day. Next level bucks are a needle in a hay stack on OTC hunts, especially this hunt, but they are out there just got to find them! That’s the game on OTC tags! #muledeer #bowhunting #desert #otc #publicland
Weird ice season this year, but still managed to ice a few decent fish on the sketchy ice! Can’t wait to get the boat out and get after it this spring! #icefishing #bigfish #laker #laketrout

What does “cheap” look like when the house is still a mansion? For this list, we looked at homes across the U.S. with at least 10,000 square feet, then narrowed them down to some of the lowest asking prices we could find. No tiny estates stretching the definition. No marketing tricks. Just genuinely massive houses with surprisingly low price tags. Some are under $3 million. A few cost less than much smaller homes in major cities. Which one would you buy? #mansions #realestate
