This week we sit down with Lilly Cusenbary. Graham, Texas native, Clear Fork Country employee, and a hunter with more low-fence trophy bucks than most guys twice her age. We get into her elk hunt from hell, the debate over high-shoulder vs. spine shots, why coyotes are objectively smarter than deer, shot placement on pigs, and what it's actually like working the counter at a small-town processing shop during rut season. Also: predator hunting confessions, social media growing pains, and a little bit of everything else.

In this 12 Minute Talks segment, Wade breaks down running a red dot + 3x magnifier setup on a 12.5" 6ARC for daytime predator calling. Including gear tested (Vortex Spark Solar, NX8 1-8), why dot size becomes a real problem past 100 yards, and the missed coyote headshot that changed the setup entirely. If you're building a lightweight, quiet predator rig and weighing red dot magnifier vs. LPVO, this one's for you.

Proof Research announced PXT, a new gain-twist rifling system built off lessons from cannon barrel development, designed to cut pressure spikes, reduce throat erosion, and extend barrel life by up to 100%. In this episode, we break down the 500-year history of rifling, why gain-twist technology has been sitting on the shelf since the 1800s, and what PXT means for high-pressure cartridges, 6ARC, and the future of barrel manufacturing. We also get into why the timing lines up with military-driven high-pressure cartridge development, and why traditional twist barrels aren't going anywhere anytime soon either.
