Hunt Backcountry Podcast Archive — Rifle Hunting

Do you need the best binoculars on the market, or can you hunt effectively with a budget-friendly bino? Is a 10x42 really the best "do it all" binocular size? What about range-finding or image-stabilizing binoculars for hunting? We answer all of those questions, and more, on this episode of the Hunt Backcountry Podcast

This is the second half of a conversation that explores why smaller rifle calibers may be better for big game hunting. This Hunt Backcountry Podcast episode explores how different types of bullets create different wound channels, the relationship between impact velocity and bullet expansion/upset, and much more.

This podcast will challenge decades of "common knowledge" about what type of rifle and bullet is best for big game hunting. We discuss why killing big game animals quickly and consistently doesn't typically require a big rifle caliber and a tough bullet, and why heavy-hitting rifles are mostly counter-productive.

As a trained engineer and experienced outdoorsman, Rydell Reinbold often modified the gear he used for hunting. Eventually, he founded Aziak Equipment to share his gear designs with other hunters. Rydell joins us on the Hunt Backcountry Podcast to share more of his story, and the backstory behind Aziak's products.
