Summary
Remember that old saying, "One Shot, One Kill?" How about eight shots, eight kills! This episode we're joined by Shaundi Campbell, senior marketing manager at Browning, who recently took her bucket-list animal in Africa (and seven others) with a single shot each using her favorite 6.8 Western.
Shaundi tells a little of the 6.8 Western's back story, shares her significant hunting successes using it on western deer and elk, and tells her African safari stories in this episode. Naturally, we get off in the weeds a bit talking 6.8 Western bullet options, ballistic performance, and terminal results. Plus Shaundi shares a peek behind the curtain of the 6.8 Western's future. ENJOY!
