Excellent listen if u love guns and hunting.
Always informative Hunting content. Particularly love the episodes about African hunting and the detailed rifle, cartridge, and bullet/ballistic information provided
Gday John from Australia. Enjoying your work mate so far but was wondering if you could do a podcast on double rifles for big game hunts? Things like calibres, companies that build them, the history and how they play a part in the African hunting history. Cheers mate!
