Pretty much nailed it. Lately my pet peeve is caliber vs CARTRIDGE!!! (or chambering)

Like, what's the best caliber for ??....



Even manufacturers are accomodating this.....I just bite my thumb usually, as I know what they're TRYING to say.

Serious question from an archery guy....is caliber wrong?

A 300 win mag, 30-30, 30-06, 300 weatherby, 300-378, 300 ultra mag etc., are all the same caliber, very different cartridges. (Even that is arguable)

for Archery, it would be like focusing on the diameter of the arrow (or close) and ignoring what’s pushing it...or it’s weight...or construction...

Ahh....I understand now. All are .30 caliber rifles. Makes sense.

talking about catch phrases, here in OZ we seem to get the phrase 'cull buck/stag'. which loosely translates to 'i hadn't seen anything all rut and i really wanted to kill something for a photo but when i walked up to him dead he wasn't as big as i wanted'

We have the same thing here. See it all the time on shows...last day and everything turns into a cull buck.

It is the typical regurgitated stuff any other gun guy does...oh wait he shoots pop bottles and watermelons. It is along the lines of every Jim Bob shooting phone books and water jugs testing penetraition. He gets guns sent to him googles information and history then does a video.

Good on him for making it into a huge channel and probably pulling in some dough but watching a guy give me 3 minutes of basic gun history, then shooting a pop bottle at 10 yards...not my cup of tea.
I can see this I guess I just like the guys personality more than his content

I saw him get called out on IG for being a creeper. Someone referred to him as the Harvey Weinstein of the gun industry. I didn't even really know who the guy was before the call out, but I got my popcorn ready anyways.

The YouTube stuff is better than the outdoor channel stuff.

i am not that savvy on YouTube/social media marketing, but i do know that it’s a powerful tool. And the guys who make a living at the outdoors aren’t the best hunters, they are the best marketers.

Then it turns into a big long post about utilising the meat. #canteatantler

There were 3 videos that supposedly got released by a disgruntled employer. They were out on Instagram and it was 100% creeper of Taran. She kept telling him no and he kept pressing.

Guys that consider a dead animal a “failure” can kiss my ass.

I’d take a 2 day doe rodeo over shooting a trail cam Bullwinkle 30 minutes after first light.

Then again, I shoot a boring uncool 30-06 too...
