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.
