In this week’s No Lowballers podcast by GoWild presented by GunBroker.com, we’re talking all about imaginary pop culture firearms and what real guns they were built from. We open up talking about RoboCop’s Auto 9 and how it’s a fictionalized build of a Beretta 93r, one of Allen’s absolute grail guns. Brad speaks on how the original plan for RoboCop’s firearm was to be a Desert Eagle and just how much that would’ve changed the entire tone of the movie. Do you think the Auto 9 was the right choice or would it have been better if RoboCop used a Desert Eagle?

Next up, Logan rolls us into the world of Star Wars and the amazing pop culture firearms that have come from the movies, but one sits atop them all…Han Solo’s Blaster. Talk about a movie icon, there’s not a much more recognizable movie firearm. Although not real, the DL-44 Blaster has an awesome backstory as an over the top firearm that was not standard issue. The DL-44 Blaster can actually be recreated in the real world with it being a modified Mauser C96.

We circle around to the recent sale price of the real Modified Mauser C96 used by Han Solo in the Star Wars films with an estimated sales price between $300,000-$500,000. Can you guess what the actual sales price was?

Closing out, Allen talks about the model 1917 revolver from the original Raiders of the Lost Ark movie, and what the average starting price for the auction is. Listen in to see where the auction starts!

How much thought have you put into your camo system heading into the season? Sure you've got your treestands dialed in, you know how to get that saddle feeling just right, you've shot your bow and have your pack filled with just the right gadgets. But your camo is some of the most important gear you bring into the woods with you. It's often responsible for you spending more time on stand or heading back to the truck. That means it's often the one thing that had, or didn't have, you in the stand when the buck walked through. So, how much thought have you put into your camo system this year?

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Nate Sellers of Huntworth and Average Jack Archery about Huntworth's camo lineup and archery gear. Huntworth makes high quality camo as a fraction of the price of some of the big names out there. They've got gear to keep you cool for the early season, warm in the late season, and comfortable all season long.  If you haven't already, you should check them out!

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch catches up with owner and operator of Little Mountain Outfitters in Richland, PA, Devon Zimmerman.  Devon is a diehard bowhunter that loves to tinker with archery equipment and share his knowledge and experience.  For most of his bowhunting career, Devon has chosen to shoot mechanical broadheads with moderate arrow weights between 450-525 grains.  With the popularity growing in FOC, heavy arrows, single bevel and machined broadheads, he decided to find out for himself.

Last year, the setup that tuned well in his bow was over 600 grains, tipped with a VPA broadhead with over 200 grains of the weight in the front.  Devon had a good sample size in year one shooting multiple doe and a nice buck throughout October and November.  From those experiences, he decided to shoot something very similar again this year.  We discuss the advantages and disadvantages among both commonly used arrow setups, why he feels this current arrow works well for him, but ultimately is not for everyone.  No matter where you land in the debate of arrow setups, every experienced bowhunter's perspective is an opportunity for us to learn something new or approach this from a different angle.  Regardless, make ethical shot decisions for your setup and capabilities!  Thanks for listening!

There are quite a few "experts" out there these days when it comes to arrows. But one major problem is many of these experts don't seem to agree on much of anything. Some say you need to shoot 750 grain arrows or you're doing it wrong. Others opt for a 350 grain speed demon. Some swear by mechanical broadheads. Some won't shoot anything but a 200 grain single bevel head. Some are sticking by the tried and true standard diameter arrows. Some insist that micro diameter arrows are the only way to get good penetration and minimize the impact of wind on the arrow's flight. Who's right????

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman, Josh & Pierce talk with JC from Pappa's Trading Post to bust some arrow setup myths. The guys touch on arrow weight, shafts, spine, FOC, and of course, broadheads. Along the way, toes are stepped on, myths are busted, and some crappy products are just straight called out. If you're looking for folks folks to shoot your straight when talking arrows, then this episode is for you! Enjoy!

We have actual hunting to talk about this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast! John headed to Nebraska to hunt their early September 1st opener and was hit with some tough challenges. Even though John was welcomed with hotter than average temperatures and drought type conditions, he still put his nose to the grindstone and had several good hunts, including a face to face encounter with a full velvet 10 point buck!

There were several good lessons learned on this trip. John quickly realized that just because soybeans are still green, that doesn't mean they're still attractive. He also knew that water would be important, but when it's that hot and that dry, water is everything. John also had his first experience saddle hunting, and talks about some of the advantages and disadvantages to hunting out of a saddle vs a traditional hang on stand.
