Guns & Ammo Buzz Podcast Explores the World of Precision Rifle Shooting

Posted on August 18, 2025August 18, 2025 by Matt Hubbard

DENVER (August 13, 2025) – The latest Guns & Ammo Buzz podcast, the official podcast of Guns & Ammo magazine, dives deep into the world of precision rifle shooting with an exclusive interview featuring Guns & Ammo Rifle & Optics Editor Tom Beckstrand, a former U.S. Army Special Forces sniper. Hosted by Beckstrand and Field Editor Keith Wood, this episode takes listeners inside the 2025 Hornady Precision Rifle Challenge, offering a glimpse into the challenges and camaraderie of the Precision Rifle Series (PRS).

Beckstrand and Wood competed in the 2025 Hornady Precision Rifle Challenge, and provide firsthand insights on tackling the event’s physically demanding conditions. Set on a sprawling private property along the Utah-Wyoming border, the competition presented extreme winds, challenging targets hidden among rocks and brush, and constant hikes to altitudes above 6,800 feet. For Beckstrand, who arrived to the match with limited practice due to professional and personal commitments, the experience was humbling and exhilarating.

“Prepare to eat humble pie unless you’re prepping hard and ready for it,” Beckstrand explained during the podcast. “But that’s what I like about this match—difficulty, crazy environmental challenges, and precision shooting done right.”

Listeners also learn about Beckstrand’s remarkable life and career, from growing up in rural Nevada to graduating from West Point and pursuing a career in the military. As an officer and sniper team leader with U.S. Special Forces, Beckstrand honed his shooting skills under some of the most demanding circumstances through deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. His transition to competitive shooting brought new challenges and fresh opportunities to test his skills.

G&A brings leading voices and inspiring personalities into the spotlight, offering unique perspectives on life, service, and the firearms community. The Guns & Ammo Buzz podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and GunsandAmmo.com.

Country Music Artist Drake White Joins ‘The Michael Waddell Podcast’ for a Soulful Southern Chat

Posted on August 6, 2025August 7, 2025 by Matt Hubbard

DENVER (August 6, 2025) – Joining Michael Waddell for a soulful southern chat on The Michael Waddell Podcast is celebrated country music artist Drake White. Produced by Outdoor Sportsman Group this dynamic bi-weekly podcast continues its tradition of heartfelt conversations, laughter, and discussions on life’s most meaningful topics—faith, family, and the outdoors. The Michael Waddell Podcast is released bi-weekly and is available widely on MyOutdoorTV, Outdoor Channel YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and OutdoorChannel.com, to name a few.

Born and raised in a small town in Alabama, Drake White brings a rich tapestry of life stories and musical influences to the conversation. White’s unique style, which he dubs “country soul,” blends gospel, bluegrass, soul, and modern pop—reflecting the diverse musical heritage he gained from his family. His preacher grandfather introduced him to gospel and bluegrass, his father brought classic rock into the mix, and his mother added a touch of modern pop, resulting in a deeply authentic Southern sound.

With four Top 40 hits, including his 2013 debut single “Simple Life,” and a critically acclaimed 2016 album SPARK, Drake White has firmly established his place in country music. His dedication to crafting music that is both soulful and deeply rooted in his Alabama upbringing mirrors the themes that make The Michael Waddell Podcast such a hit with listeners.

“This is going to be one of those special campfire-style conversations that makes you smile and think about the joy of simple living,” shared Michael Waddell. “Drake’s music and story are a perfect match for what this podcast is all about—celebrating where we come from, taking pride in family and faith, and having a good time along the way.”

With his signature down-to-earth style and sharp sense of humor, Waddell dives into heartfelt conversations that explore the stories, moments, and connections that make life interesting. From sharing tall tales to celebrating family, friends, and the great outdoors, The Michael Waddell Podcast is an exploration of life’s most meaningful moments, all delivered with plenty of laughs along the way.

The Michael Waddell Podcast will release new episodes twice a month.

Waddell’s story began in the backwoods of Booger Bottom, Georgia, where he grew up surrounded by nature, family, and a love for the outdoors. A self-proclaimed “rowdy redneck,” his passion for hunting and storytelling led him to win a Realtree turkey-calling contest, which launched his career in the outdoor industry. From guiding and filming hunts to creating hit shows like Realtree Road Trips and Bone Collector, Waddell has become a beloved figure in the outdoor world.

Stay Inside This Weekend for Sportsman Channel’s ‘Hottest Hunts’ Marathon on August 9

Posted on August 5, 2025August 6, 2025 by Matt Hubbard

DENVER (August 5, 2025) – Sportsman Channel is turning up the heat this weekend with its “Hottest Hunts” marathon, airing Wednesday, August 9, from 5-8 p.m. ET. Viewers can experience the thrill of extreme hunts without breaking a sweat — all from the comfort of their air-conditioned homes. Watch skilled pros such as Steven Rinella, Tim Wells, Brian Spicer and more endure searing heat and rugged terrain while pushing the limits of their craft in pursuit of elusive game.

Series included in the stunt include:

No Limits Hunting: Join Dillon from Dillion Blinds as he ventures into the hauntingly beautiful deserts of New Mexico, pursuing the elusive mule deer.

Dead Meat: South Texas is known for trophy bucks, sweltering heat and rugged terrain. Scott Leysath got an invitation from a guy who claims that he’s got ‘a mess of critters that most people wouldn’t think of eating,’ but he does. Put on your snake boots and join Chef Scott and friends on their search for a mixed bag of four-legged critters known more for their ability to survive in this rough country than they are as table fare. Targeted animals include skunk pigs, nocturnal nuisances, tough old hares and an ugly critter that can give you leprosy.

MeatEater: Steve Rinella heads south of the border to stalk a herd of free-ranging bison on some truly spectacular desert terrain. Steve is no stranger to the buffalo, but the dry, stark Sonoran desert will present him with an experience far different than he’s ever known – and a culinary experience he’ll never forget.

Relentless Pursuit: Join Tim Wells as he’s bowhunting for coyote. Every episode is an action-packed voyage into the past where primitive hunting is relived by the world’s most recognized authority in spear and blowgun hunting. Laugh or cry, Tim Wells delivers every time.
