This episode explores how hunters can communicate the value of hunting to non-hunters in a way that builds understanding instead of conflict. Sam Weaver and John Radzwilla of Hook and Barrel Magazine discuss how to talk about hunting, conservation, food, travel, and outdoor culture with people outside the hunting community. They also share stories about memorable hunts, the role of print magazines in a digital world, and why shared interests can bridge very different backgrounds. At its core, this episode is about preserving hunting by expanding the conversation. John explains how Hook and Barrel Magazine helps introduce more people to the outdoor lifestyle through storytelling, education, and relatable content that connects hunting with travel, food, fitness, adventure, and modern culture.
Afterwards discover how Iron Will’s new SLR broadhead’s aerodynamic design reduces drag and lifts forces by up to 50%, making it incredibly forgiving—even if your bow isn’t perfectly tuned. Bill Vanderheyden shares the secret behind their years of fluid dynamic modeling to optimize accuracy at speeds exceeding 400 feet per second, from crossbows to high-powered bows. Whether you’re shooting at 40 or 100 yards, this broadhead’s remarkable stability and low-force penetration ensure pass-throughs on big game like elk and deer, even at extended ranges. Closing out Brandon Allred talks through how AKEK packs started as a family business, how the packs have evolved over time, and what makes them stand out, including adjustable fit, included accessories, meat shelf carry options, quick-release weapon storage, and a try-before-you-buy program. Talk then shifts towards the other Rokslide.com gear reviews and a recap of the latest Western news.
