Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive — Gear

Scope selection is an extremely import aspect of any rifle build. In this episode of our "Building A Backcountry Rifle" series we speak with Mark Boardman of Vortex Optics to learn what hunters should consider when selecting an optic to top their big game hunting rifle.

We are kicking off a brand new series: "Building A Backcountry Rifle". In this series we have dedicated episodes on the various aspects of putting together a rifle package for western big game hunting.

There are many factors in arrow selection. How do attributes such as spine (static and dynamic), weight, straightness, diameter, materials (carbon, aluminum, hybrids), all come together to make the ideal arrow for your bow, your broadhead, and the game that you are hunting?

There are no stupid questions. And, hopefully, there are no stupid answers in this Part 2 Q&A episode of the Hunt Backcountry podcast. Mark and Steve tackle a variety of listener questions. We discuss the importance and necessity of camouflage,what spare gear we keep in our packs, and much more.
