In our latest podcast episode, we ask: what happens when a highly successful, traditional conservation hunt meets the digital outrage of modern social media?

When Suzi Huntington tagged out on two massive Alberta black bears using a R***r American .308, she shared her success online—only to be met with emotional backlash from people who have never set foot in the deep woods. From demands about eating spring bear meat (which is biologically unpalatable and trichinosis-prone) to accusations of cruelty, the disconnect between suburban critics and actual wildlife management has never been wider.

Do you share your hunting photos online, or have you started keeping your trophies offline to avoid the headache?

Are we trading raw speed for a prettier sight picture?

In our latest discussion, Roy Huntington and I took a hard look at the industry-wide obsession with pistol red dots. While optics are a godsend for aging eyes that struggle with front-sight focus, they come with a steep learning curve that many casual shooters completely ignore.

Statistically, red dots have slightly improved qualification scores for some LE agencies, but the average round count in real-world gunfights has simultaneously climbed. Are shooters actually getting more precise, or are they hesitating to acquire the dot and then dumping magazines to compensate?

Tell us your preference: Are you running a 'tiny TV' on your slide, or are you keeping it old-school with iron sights?

The New Episode is Here!

There’s a quiet tension in modern shooting culture: we’ve never had more access to advanced techniques, yet many shooters still struggle with the basics.

At some point, speed became the focus. Faster draws, faster splits, faster everything. But speed has a way of hiding problems—until it doesn’t.

This week’s discussion looks at an older idea with some staying power: slowing down and shooting like it’s 1955. Not out of nostalgia, but as a way to rebuild the fundamentals that everything else depends on.
