What really makes an arrow accurate? In this episode of the Outdoor Podcast, we sit down with Chris from Feradyne Outdoors to talk about the technology, testing, and history behind some of the biggest names in archery.


We dive deep into the Carbon Express Mach 5, including its lightweight 5mm design, single-spine construction, durability, and how arrow stiffness affects consistency and accuracy.


We also tackle a common problem for bowhunters: the outlier arrow. Chris explains how squaring the back of an arrow, checking components, spinning arrows, tuning nocks, and maintaining consistent spine can help diagnose inconsistent arrow flight.


Then we get into Nocturnal lighted nocks, why manufacturing and material selection matter, and the potential risks of using questionable or counterfeit archery components.


The conversation also takes a fascinating turn into the history of Muzzy, the development of the original broadheads, Carbon Express technology, Block Targets, and the people and ideas that helped shape modern archery.
