Love the podcast!! Simple but usually a deep dive technically. Great dialogue!! I would like you to come out with a new(revised) cartridge. The 8mm Vortex Magnum. I bet you guys could pull this off.
Thanks for the great podcasts!!
I love this podcast! Humor, education and excitement is how I would describe this entertainment. Keep up the great work you do.
By the way Mark, I own a suppressor and a 300WSM!!!!
Great information and enjoyable but they go on too long on many subjects. The regular podcast is usually a hour plus and their #10MinTalk averages 45 min to over a hour. Tightning up the scripts and a bit less rambling would make this a better show.
There are descriptive words other than wildly and famously.
Show got boring for me. Episodes are pretty much the same. Also, it would be cool if Ryan says he doesn't know something rather than making stuff up. It's ok if you don't know everything. I promise.
