WRM Podcast

It’s the night before rifle opener, and Connor and Jared recap a wild archery season, recorded on the drive with the windshield wipers going. They got into animals every day, the wind fought them almost all season, and Connor filled all three of his tags.

They go through Connor’s opening-day archery antelope: nine blown stalks, a crawl through a burrowing owl colony, and a foot race at last light to finish it. Next is the September bull. Neither of them had hunted the spot before, they both stopped at the same moment because it felt right, and the bull walked in to 14 yards. Then the “gravity elk,” where the wind blew straight at the elk no matter where they set up. The last story is a four-point mule deer stalk across a cliff band covered in loose rock, which Jared watched in slow motion from 40 yards above. That leads into a short explanation of tachypsychia, the time distortion your brain creates under stress.

In the second half:

Keep sending your questions. We’ll answer more of them through the off-season.

It's been a while but we're not quitin'! Just a little pause here and there.

An update before season really kicks off and a request of those of you who follow along and would like some one on one feedback that will also be shared with everyone else.

Listen along and hit me up when you're done.

I did not expect a controversy around suggesting that new and intermediate shooters dry fire to get better at shoot, BUT, that's just what I got.

Some experienced PRS shooters cause a bit of a stir on IG suggesting that dry fire is not only waste of time, but even bad for your shot process. Well I dive into all the details and nuances about why I believe it is good, especially when you execute a controlled shot process.

Give it a listen and weigh in with your opinion and if you want to get better and precision rifle shooting, hit me up and let me know what you're working on and how I can help!

Thanks for your support! In the hussle and bussle of life, raising a family and trying to keep my head above water, sometimes I just don't have the time to crank out content but your guys words of encouragement and gratitude goes a long ways in motivating me to keep going.

In this one I cover a bunch of topics from reloading, best things to do to get better as a shooter, archery tuning, arrow builds, overlanding builds. Lots of good stuff so give her a listen, maybe give it a share to someone who doesn't listen and please make sure you're subscribed.

I appreciate you guys!

Lyle Hebel and Colby Adamek just finished shooting Mammoth Sniper Challenge with their partners. The boys sit down to recap their experiences, lessons learned and what they'd do different if they were to shoot the match again.

Solo one covering my experience at The Vegas Shoot, shot process, mental training. WRM discussion. Small projectiles, film projects coming up and request for experience on which action cam you like.

Defiance Machine offers the most customizable action on the market. Chad Triolo joins me in the WRM Studio to talk through nearly every option available to help you decide how best to spec your action to suit your needs.

The boys finish their conversation talking about Chad's recent dive into backcountry backpack hunting and why he chose to volunteer himself for some suffering under a backpack.

It's been a while since I've sat down to catch up with Jed Wood and he's packed a ton of hunting in since then. He shares a bunch of hunt stories from last season starting with spring bear in Montana, then dives into his 2 Ibex hunts and tops it off with some awesome learning lessons from 2 mule deer hunts, one successful and one unsuccessful.

Listen in as he details each of these hunts and you'll learn how he continually puts himself in good situations to give himself a chance at some amazing critters, not to mentions a pile of epic adventures.

Dove in a little deeper on some of the most recent questions I've been getting about reloading and rifle topics. 

If you struggle with analysis paralysis you're gonna want to listen to this one.

Thank you all for listening and for hitting me with your questions. Please never hesitate to reach out if there's any topics that you think I can help you with. I love getting data as well from your testing so please send me your findings on Instagram.

One of my favorite people joined me in the WRM POD studio today, Ryan Holm is an OG in the hunting space. From marketing and branding, to bio hacking, overlanding, hunting, climbing and content creation; his skills and insights are invaluable.

This episode is dense as we both got into some of the finer details that have dramatically helped us in our lives. 

Let's talk about what's helped you in your journey. Ryan and I both want to grow our community and help others reach their goals. Hit us in the comments on what you want to talk more about.
