Hunting Cape Buffalo with a Red Dot: Brad Fenson on Dangerous Game & Quick Target Acquisition

In this episode of Taking Aim, host Rich Nance sits down with Brad Fenson, an award-winning outdoor writer and photographer who has written for over 60 publications and co-authored the Canadian editions of the Total Outdoorsman, Total Fishing, and Total Gun manuals. They discuss Brad's childhood roots in waterfowl hunting, the craft of writing a compelling hunting story, and the evolution of bow and crossbow technology. Brad also shares his firsthand experience using red dot optics on dangerous game in Africa and while handgun hunting, emphasizing that consistency behind the trigger matters more than the gear itself. Along the way, he reflects on his podcast, Harvest Your Own, and how his daughters' growing involvement in the outdoors reflects his mission to pass hunting knowledge on to the next generation.Follow Brad on Instagram at: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bradfenson/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/bradfenson/?hl=en</a>Follow Rich Nance on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nance_training_consulting/ and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rnancewartac/">https://www.instagram.com/rnancewartac/</a>Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@AimpointUSA">https://www.youtube.com/@AimpointUSA</a>Visit: https://aimpoint.us/ to learn morePRODUCED BY IRONCLAD

Steven Pressfield on Resistance, Turning Pro, and Why He Didn't Succeed Until Age 52

In this episode of Taking Aim, host Richard Nance sits down with acclaimed author Steven Pressfield best known for The War of Art, Gates of Fire, and The Legend of Bagger Vance for a wide ranging conversation about the creative process, the nature of resistance, and what it truly means to turn pro. Steven opens up about his long road to success, not publishing his first book until age 52, and shares the pivotal moment of sitting down at his typewriter one night that changed the trajectory of his life forever. The conversation digs into the concept of resistance as a universal force that sabotages anyone pursuing a meaningful goal — not just writers, but athletes, martial artists and anyone striving to become the best version of themselves. Steven also discusses his latest historical fiction novel The Arcadian, his recent experience losing his home in the Malibu fires, and how continuing to do the work has been the thing that has kept him grounded through it all.Visit Steven’s website at: <a href="https://stevenpressfield.com/">https://stevenpressfield.com/</a>Follow Rich Nance on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nance_training_consulting/">https://www.instagram.com/nance_training_consulting/ </a>and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rnancewartac/">https://www.instagram.com/rnancewartac/</a>Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@AimpointUSA">https://www.youtube.com/@AimpointUSA</a>Visit: <a href="https://aimpoint.us/">https://aimpoint.us/ </a>to learn morePRODUCED BY IRONCLAD

How a Deployed Soldier Built a Big Game Hunting Empire From Scratch

The two dig into the real lessons learned on dangerous game hunts in Africa, from the humbling experience of missing your first shot to why red dots have a legitimate place on big bore rifles. John also breaks down the biggest misconceptions in cartridge selection and the mental pressure that separates a clean kill from a costly miss.Visit John Mcadams blog at: <a href="https://thebiggamehuntingblog.com/">https://thebiggamehuntingblog.com/</a>Follow Rich Nance on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nance_training_consulting/ and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rnancewartac/">https://www.instagram.com/rnancewartac/</a>Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@AimpointUSA">https://www.youtube.com/@AimpointUSA</a>Visit: https://aimpoint.us/ to learn morePRODUCED BY IRONCLAD
