This week Matty is joined by living legend Dr. Ed Ashby.
Dr. Ashby was the man who helped to reinstate bowhunting in South Africa.
The man documented over 630+ animals that he took with his bow and arrow.
Each time trialing different arrows, broadheads and total weight setups to come to a conclusion of best setups for bowhunters which is all documented and shared through “The Ashby Bowhunting Foundation.”
