Easton Target Archery Podcast

We've got a very special double-header podcast in this episode- First, Olympic and Field archery legend Jay Barrs joins us to talk about the anniversary of his Gold Medal performance in the Olympic Games in Seoul, his shooting philosophy, the importance of field archery, as well as what he's up to now as a coach. Then, later in the show, we are joined by Easton Chairman Greg Easton on the evening of the company's 100th anniversary celebration this past weekend, when we talk about the legacy of the company, and what the future may bring. And, at the end of the show, we announce the first two of 10 winners in the Easton 100th anniversary history book, personally signed by Greg!   Available on Apple Podcasts, Podbean, Spotify, Amazon and wherever you get your favorite podcasts- don't forget to subscribe for the latest episodes!

With only two years to go until the Paris Games, USA Archery is taking extra steps to ensure both a full team qualification and success at Paris 2024. World Cup Champion Jack Williams of Team USA joins the podcast to explain the logistics and training program for the shortest Olympic Games turnaround in history.  

Steve Anderson is back for another Easton Target Archery Podcast, with an explanation for his extended absence from the show, and his new career!

Compound tuning for performance at the highest levels can be surprisingly simple.  We sat down with Outdoor, Indoor and Field World Champion Jesse Broadwater to get his step-by-step process for going from a bow in a cardboard box, to a precision instrument capable of shooting an X every time- and it is one of the clearest explanations of the process you are likely to find.    

30 years ago this week, a flaming Easton arrow shaft scorched over the Barcelona Olympic Stadium to ignite the 1992 Olympic Games- and today on the podcast we talk to one of the people who helped make it happen.   Our special guest is Easton's former Special Projects Manager, Don Rabska.

Olympic team Gold Medalist Juan-Carlos Holgado and Easton Chairman and World Archery Executive Board Member Greg Easton join the podcast to discuss the upcoming 30th anniversary of the most-seen archery shot in human history, the just-concluded World Games in Alabama, and the positive impact of that event on prospects for Olympic Compound in LA 2028.
