Like most backcountry hunters, we are passionate about the gear we use. At the end of each year, we like to highlight some of the favorite gear we have used for hunts throughout the year and discuss why those particular items made a difference for us personally.

In this video, Steve Speck, owner and founder of Exo Mtn Gear, discusses how he practices rifle setup and shot execution while hunting. Develop this routine as a habit on your hunts, so that you are as familiar with your equipment as possible, and also rehearsed and ready when a shot opportunity presents itself.
