This is an archived episode from a few years ago.

Going back and listening to this conversation now, it means more to me than I can explain.

At the time, we were just sitting down talking hunting, how he grew up doing it, the rifles he started with, how the gear and the leases changed over the years, and a bunch of stories I’m really glad we captured. There’s a lot of laughs in here, some real perspective, and a lot of “regular life” that hits different now.

I’m sharing this as a tribute to my dad.

thank you,

In this 12 Minute Talk, we break down running shots and why so many hunters struggle with them without realizing the real reason. Velocity, barrel length, projectile speed, scope setup, and follow-through all play a role, and if you’ve always shot fast “hot rod” cartridges, you might not actually be as good at running shots as you think.

This episode is an intro to a deeper, data-driven podcast coming soon, where we’ll define velocity ranges, practical leads, and what actually makes running shots easier — without guessing.

Topics covered:

• Why fast cartridges feel like a cheat code

• How short barrels and slower velocities expose bad habits

• Proper tracking technique (and what not to do)

• Scope magnification mistakes on moving targets

• Ways to practice running shots realistically

• Why chairs dramatically increase hit percentage at night

If you’re missing running shots, or avoiding them altogether, this episode will change how you think about them.

In this episode, Wade breaks down 6 ARC vs 6 Creed, not just specs, but what actually matters in the real world: platform differences (AR-15 vs AR-10), barrel life, cost to shoot, recoil, ammo availability, and where each cartridge makes the most sense for hunting and practical use. He also talk's about why a ~200 fps difference doesn’t always translate to major downrange separation, and why use case and barrel length should drive your decision.
