The 2026 James Yates Arrow Ballistics Study is coming soon!
This preview documentary gives bowhunters and target archers a behind-the-scenes look at the purpose, process, and scope of the upcoming study. James Yates and Easton explore why arrow flight deserves a more science-based conversation, including how arrow shaft diameter, arrow length, vane configuration, broadhead type, point design, drag, stability, and external ballistics all play a role in real-world arrow performance.
The questions being asked, the testing mindset behind the project, and why objective arrow data matters for serious archers and bowhunters.
The goal of the James Yates Arrow Ballistics Study is to better understand how arrows behave after they leave the bow — and how different arrow components can influence flight, accuracy, drag, stabilization, and downrange performance. Easton’s role in this project reflects a commitment to advancing the science of archery and helping archers make better-informed decisions when building arrows for hunting, target archery, and long-range bowhunting.
Stay tuned for the official 2026 Arrow Ballistics Study results.
