In this episode of the Podium Archery Podcast, we sit down with Tyson Yates, VP of Marketing & Sales at Easton Arrows, to pull back the curtain on one of the most talked-about arrows in bowhunting today — the Easton 5.0.
This isn’t a surface-level conversation. We dive deep into why the Easton 5.0 was built, how it performs in real-world hunting scenarios, and why MFJJ trusts this setup when it matters most. From arrow construction and durability to consistency, tolerances, and downrange performance, Tyson breaks down what actually separates a great arrow from a mediocre one.
We also talk about the philosophy behind Easton, how they balance innovation with field-proven reliability, and what bowhunters should really be paying attention to when building an arrow for ethical, effective kills. If you care about your setup — or you want to understand the why behind your gear — this episode is for you.
Whether you’re chasing elk in the timber, grinding out late-season whitetails, or just trying to build the most dependable arrow possible, this conversation delivers real insight from the top of the arrow world.
