Is the tool or the man wielding the tool of greater importance?

Folks usually I would say hands down

it's the guy handling the tool, it's how you use what you have, not always what you have that makes

the difference, right?

However, there are some not exceptions, but caveats to this concept.

And today we're going to revisit one of them.

We're going to revisit one of the great fundamental processes in equipment that can make

such a difference in Western big game hunting and indeed any open country type of big game hunting around the world. This is inspired by

many listeners accounts of friends and family that were crippled by their current

hunting rifles limitations.

So we're going to talk through how to choose a rifle in a cartridge,

how to pick a good scope, what accessories are most beneficial, and then how to set it all up.

Now because this all was inspired by various listeners talking about family and experiences they've had in the past year or two.

I want to go to an upfront Q&A section such as we've done so many times in the past.

We're bringing it to you today by Spartan Precision Equipment and this is a message that I received

from a listener we'll call Rand who had some flattering things to say about the

podcast and an awesome request. This was addressed to three recipients and here's what he wrote.

Dear Mr Spomer, Von Benedict, and McAdams,

fortunately, there's no shortage of hunting and gun-related podcasts in the cyberspace.

Unfortunately, however, only a vanishing few of them are concise, well-edited,

professionally recorded, and most importantly, give accurate, reliable, and

safe information to their listeners. I believe I've found three that do, however, and those are the ones that I listen to almost exclusively.
