Josh Jones (MFJJ) — Podium Archer
American · YouTube education & bow reviews — compound bows / bowhunting
Josh Jones — MFJJ to most of the internet — was fletching arrows at five years old and never really left the shop. His Podium Archer channel pairs shop-counter bluntness with side-by-side speed testing of each season's flagship compounds, the kind of footage ArcheryTalk threads pick apart line by line. Off camera he runs Podium Archer pro shops in Spokane Valley, Washington and Ashland City, Tennessee.
