I want to talk about how I carry my rifle on a mountain hunt. My technique is slightly different from what I see most hunters doing. Keep in mind that I am speaking specifically about mountain hunting, which involves days and days of hiking and only a few moments, if we are fortunate, of handling […]
Think about how technology has changed the world in the past fifteen years. In 2006 social media was in its infancy and Myspace was king, the iPhone was still a year away from launching, and Netflix was only renting DVDs via postal service. Look at your own habits and those of your family or walk […]
I follow a simple, three-step process to help myself stay calm and execute on fundamental aspects of a successful mountain hunting stalk. By mountain hunting, I’m referring to the pursuit of sheep, goats, mountain caribou and often bears. These principles apply to all kinds of spot and stalk hunting where the game is stationary and […]

Spin drift or Gyroscopic drift, is a phenomenon caused by the right hand twist in our barrels. Due to the right hand twist, the nose of the bullet tends to offset slightly to the right during flight. The effect is that even under zero wind conditions, the bullet will impact to the right of center. […]
The first question you have to ask when designing a new cartridge is, “WHY?” The 7LRM (Long Range Magnum) is a non-belted case that has the same overall length as the 7mm Rem Mag with a standard magnum case head. However, the body diameter is larger with no belt. The case neck is longer and […]
Temperature and Altitude are related in that they both affect air density and therefore the ballistic performance of a bullet. Lower altitudes and lower temperatures result in denser air, therefore more drag on the bullet and more bullet drop. Conversely, higher altitudes and higher temperatures result in thinner air, therefore less drag on the bullet […]
What is calling your shot? Simply put, calling your shot is communicating to yourself or to your spotter where you last saw the reticle when you pressed the trigger. The shooter goes through their shot sequence. Focus on the reticle Let all the air out of your lungs Slow press of the trigger The shot […]
For years, I remember listening to my dad, grandad, and anyone else we hunted with, tell stories about chasing the elusive 30” wide buck.
