In this week's episode of The Deer Gear Podcast I am joined by Dorge Huang, Owner/operator of Firenock. Today we are discussing broadheads! Everyone loves to talk about the arrow, the bow setup, and even form. However, the broadhead should be considered when talking about "lethality."

In this week's episode of The Deer Gear Podcast I am joined by my great friend Tony Sangialosi, owner/operator of Drawn Archery. As many of you know, I have been suffering from target panic the last 18 months or so and I am working diligently to cure it.

In this week's episode of The Deer Gear Podcast I am joined by owner/operator of Firenock, Dorge Huang. I like to call Dorge the smartest man in archery, so when he tells me that the nock of your arrow is equivalent to the tires of your car, I tend to believe him. The nock seems to be the most overlooked aspect of arrow building, but an improper nock fit can be the sole cause of poor arrow flight. In this episode we cover all things nocks!

Dorge attends a lot of the TAC shoots across the country and has seen a wide variety of different strategies when it comes to getting arrows for TAC. Some folks want to max out distance, max out speed, or want a cheap arrow to mitigate the risk when losing arrows. In this podcast we talk about the ultimate TAC arrow, as well as other things to consider when shooting Total Archery Challenge. I will be attending the TAC at Seven Springs, PA in June and my TAC arrow will be my hunting arrow! My thoughts are: Practice How You Play!

In this week's episode of The Deer Gear Podcast I am joined by Dorge Huang of Firenock and Dave Murray of Vital Limits to discuss how we can save time as archers.  Time is money, and it seems like we get less time than ever in today's world.

Dave goes into detail on how to save time this year and get the best arrows possible. We Discuss: - How to save time nock tuning or bare shaft tuning - Broadhead and Vane relationships - Speed and Vane Relationships - The First Dynamic Bend and much much more!
