Wade gives his raw, unfiltered take on the online hysteria after the recent Charlie Kirk shooting — from the misinformation machine to rifle mechanics and ballistics reality.

In this episode Wade breaks down why he thinks the AR-15 is the best deer-stand platform for Texas whitetail and hogs. We take on a common media clip, talk about myths from both anti-gun voices and traditionalists, and look at how cartridge and platform choice actually play out in the stand.

Hunters are adopting more tactical optics than ever, but the terms can get confusing fast. Wade breaks down the differences between red dot sights, reflex optics, prism scopes, and holographic sights.

Topics include:

• Why RDS (Red Dot Sight) is an all-encompassing term

• Reflex vs Prism design differences

• Holographic sights (EOTech, Vortex UH-1) and astigmatism benefits

• Why closed-emitter red dots matter for hunters

• Offsetting red dots on rifles, spotting scopes, and even cameras

Leave us a rating and let us know: what optic are YOU running?

In this 12 Minute Talk, Wade gives a full range review of the Swarovski Z5i 2-10x42, a compact and lightweight optic that’s quickly becoming one of his favorites for 16-inch AR-15 setups.

We cover:

• Why Swarovski may have accidentally built a perfect DMR/predator hunting scope

• Pros & cons of the Z5i (glass quality, weight, reticle, illumination, and turrets)

• Why second focal plane isn’t a deal breaker on a 2-10x optic

• Real-world hunting applications from 100 to 600 yards

If you’re a predator hunter, competition shooter, or just looking for a practical lightweight scope for your AR platform, this episode breaks it all down.

We’ve been tossing around LPVO/MPVO for years—so let’s finish the system and make it useful. In this episode I lay out a practical naming convention for tactical optics:

• PO – Pistol Optics (micro/open/closed-emitter pistol dots)

• NVO – Non-Variable Optics (rifle-rated red dots, holo, prisms, + optional magnifiers)

• LPVO – Low-Power Variable Optics (1-4/1-6/1-8/1-10; no parallax knob)

• MPVO – Mid-Power Variable Optics (high-1x/2-10/2-12/… with parallax adjustment)

• IPVO – Intermediate-Power Variables (3-15/3-18/4-16/2-20; tops out ≤20x)

• HPVO – High-Power Variable Optics (≥ ~5-25 and up; ELR/bench/tactical precision)

I also cover why parallax is the line between LPVO and MPVO, where prisms live, why 3-18x isn’t an MPVO, and how hunters can steal the best parts of “tactical boy” glass.

Wade is back with another update on the Sons of Liberty Gun Works 6mm barrels. After trading two barrels for three, he now has five test barrels to work with. In this episode, he breaks down what’s been fixed, what still looks questionable, and his plans for gas port testing, erosion tracking, and headspace experiments.

From polishing bores to chamfering gas ports, Wade lays out his testing process and asks for your input on what else to put these barrels through. Should we cut them down, test different crowns, or run them until they erode? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know what you’d like to see.

Planning a first safari, or your next one? Wade sits down with Jaco (NUMZAAN Safaris) to lay out a clear, candid guide to South African hunting: safety realities, choosing a reputable outfitter, full-trip budgeting (flights, day fees, trophy fees, shipping), predator calling by day and night, rifle/bullet setups, bringing or renting guns, and how hunting revenue supports entire local communities. Plus: dangerous game honesty (buffalo, leopard, elephant) and a surprising list of best-tasting game.
Note: Contains explicit language.
