Watch this episode on YouTube! https://youtu.be/vQeWMQ_U31E Training for shooting in the Big Woods is a little different than for most other types of hunting. Our shot opportunities are close and fleeting. Success takes an optimization of speed and accuracy that is reminiscent of the 'Combat Accuracy' they teach in the finest shooting schools, military and law enforcement. With that in mind, Hal and Lee are talking training with Ken Campbell, CEO of the world-renowned Gunsite Academy, founded by Col. Jeff Cooper, as well as BWB's own Brad Willey, to share their best advice for capitalizing on that critical shot opportunity.
Legendary Adirondack woodsman Jim Abbott is back on the podcast for a follow-up session full of tales from the backcountry: stories of backcountry rescues, lost trapper huts, local southern Adirondack lore, and a full of hour of buck stories.
