Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Live at SCI: Van Hale Trophy Outfitters/White Mountain Trophy Outfitters
Q: What would your three pieces of advice be for someone who wants to hunt with you, and how should they prepare?
The top priorities are physical conditioning to handle high elevations, proficiency with your weapon, and realistic expectations about the terrain, plus confidence in your gear and a willingness to adapt the hunt to your fitness level.
Spring Turkey Hunting Special
Q: What equipment would you recommend for a new turkey hunter on a budget?
Find a reasonably priced shotgun, learn to use a single call well (box call is a solid starting point), and invest in a simple headnet and gloves; prioritize practicality and comfort (a chair or cushion) over fancy gear, and budget for basic camouflage.
Live at SCI: Parkwest Arms
Q: How long does a fully customized build typically take, and how can a customer start the process?
Lead times run a little over a year for fully customized rifles; customers can start by using the online builder, then the team follows up to discuss details and finalize the build.
Live at SCI: Parkwest Arms
Q: What makes a Parkwest rifle a good heirloom piece compared to mass-produced options?
Their rifles are handmade, hand-finished, with hand-selected woods, and customers can hand-pick blanks; they offer tailor-made fit, with custom length of pull and exclusive finishes, making them far more durable and personalized for generations.
Live at SCI: Parkwest Arms
Q: So, guys, what is Parkwest and what rifles do you offer?
Parkwest is the lineage of Don Allen, continuing the same type of rifles with a large variety of models, including 76, 97, SD10, and the newer SD22, with options for wood customization, engraving, and other custom parts.
