Podcast 334 - James Park- The Doctor of Arrow Flight!
Dr. James Park is one of the Worlds leading sources of scientific research on arrow flight. Dr. Park has been awarded a PhD in Mechanical Engineering by Monash University in Melbourne, Australia and has 31 published research papers to prove it. His PhD work was dedicated to arrow dynamics and a lifelong study that covered the behavior of arrows during the bow’s power stroke and in free flight. He placed particular emphasis on compound bows, but much of the work is also directly applicable to recurve bows. James Park was a mentor of mine since i was first shooting for the U.S. Team. I stayed with James, studied with him and he was able to collect data from my shooting methods that actually predated where we were at in understanding it. James witnessed me break multiple records and win multiple gold medals internationally. He used some of the collected data and information with robotics and wind tunnels to make him an impressive coach for the Australian National Team. He is one of the few sources that I would report my personal most trusted data to. He is a real life projectile wizard and has done more arrow study with a shooting machine that anyone you can find on the internet, i guarantee it. I hope you enjoy this podcast and understand that through our trusted information you will improve in archery. Don’t get trapped in the arrow wormhole. This podcast can give you more than a lifetime of understanding in a few hours.

First time watching your podcast. I started competition archery in 2000. Nobody shared information unless it was in private. You figured it out yourself or looked at other people’s setups. Sounds like everything you tried was stuff I also tried. Still have a pile of those short quick spin vanes. Going to college for mechanical engineering then made me understand everything I had learned from daily trial and error testing from arrow dynamics to stabilization. The things that really changed the game in archery was BCY 452X, X10 pro tour, and the Bee Stinger stabilizer.
Literally sums up todays issue in archery. Too many people focusing on the wrong stuff in stead of progressing in their archery career. Awesome info 🔥
Thanks again guys for saving us that travel to far down the rabbit hole instead of just practicing more. It’s easy to get carried away when so many people online try to influence your choices. Pretty soon you’re spending all your money on different fletching jigs, components, broadheads, and losing sleep about which configuration you should use. God bless you for what you do John Nock on brother
Been messing with this stuff for 55 years. Thanks for this discussion. Bottom line is grouping. When testing, I always save and take notes on my paper target. Everyone who cares should be watching this podcast.
Felt like watching this was a question and answer between John and Dudley, with Dr. Park sometimes being allowed to confirm.
I’d like to hear more from the good Doctor👍
Great discussion, thanks
Very interesting to hear facts and engineered testing. The 4 reasons why we miss is very helpful; will definitely follow up on Dr. Parks publications. Arrow flight dynamics and fletch angles was enlightening. Good discussion. Maybe the guests could be allowed to comment more in the discussion. I appreciate John's passion for accuracy and scientific testing of products and modifications. Very enjoyable podcast.
We’re diving deep now boys. Good stuff 🙌
Time on string!! The longer an arrow is on the string, the greater the chance of introducing human error.. An example, short brace height vs long brace height..there is a point where the arrow gets twitchy of course, hence "finding the middle ground" 😀
Enormously helpful! If knowledge is power, all listeners are more powerful.
That was a great podcast with amazing amount of information. The right information. Keep up the great work John as always.
Excellent discussion, gentlemen. Thank you both for sharing.
Hey John, I'm a very big fan and the information that you provide is amazing. My son is getting into competition archery he's left-handed and he's doing great. We watch a lot of your content and it's been a big help for both of us.
What a great podcast! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for all the recent info on arrow flight. They have been very helpful in weeding through all the different info one finds on the subject.
Another gold nugget. Thanx for all the work Dud
Awesome stream! Thanks a lot! Very actuall questions and answers! ☀️🍀🌿✨👍🏻👌🏻🙌🏻🤝🏻 ))
“Set up your bow, tune your arrows”. DANG… that says it all.
Just finished listening to this on Spotify. Thanks for all the good information!
