The Shortgun Sportsman

Dr. Larry ”The Hitman” Rogers

Doc Rogers is one of the most prolific handgun hunters around today. His experiences are fascinating, and he has kept amazing records of his hunting exploits. This is his first appearance on a podcast, and it is a good one!

OvercomingTarget Panic or Flinch

In this episode, Ryan discusses what target panic and a flinch are, what the difference between the two is, and some methods to overcome them.  Most of us have (or will) experienced a flinch or target panic at some point. The more we discuss it, the more we can help each other out.  We hope this episode can help anyone struggling with these issues. (Oh, and yes, we know Ryan calls his Redhawk a Blackhawk. He is colorblind...)

Kristin Alberts

On this episode, I interviewed Kristin Alberts. Also known as The Wilderness Woman (@thewildernesswoman) on social media, Kristin is an avid outdoorswoman. Last year she undertook the challenge of hunting a cape buffalo with a handgun and her story is a good one!

Ken Kelly of Mag-Na-Port

On this episode, I speak with Ken Kelly of Mag-Na-Port. Ken has a long history in the handgun hunting world, and he is such a nice guy! We talked handgun hunting history, Mag-Na-Port, his father Larry Kelly (HHI # 2!), and the trends Ken's seen over the years. 

Larry Weishuhn

I talked to Larry Weishuhn, "Mr. Whitetail," about his experiences and what he'd do these days if he were just getting into handgun hunting. It led us down an interesting rabbit trail about public land opportunities in TX. Also, Larry was the first person to successfully hunt an animal with one of the most well know hunting handguns. Listen to find out which!

Field Gear and Brian Thurber of Trifecta Handgun

Heath and Ryan discuss the gear they find valuable in the field. Then, Ryan talks to Brian Thurber of Trifecta Handgun. Brian has invented and produces a handgun rest for hunters to use in the field.

Caleb Giddings of Taurus USA

On this episode, Ryan talks to Caleb Giddings of Taurus USA about their hunting handguns, as well as what they're doing to overcome the issues they've had in the past.

Choosing Optics and Ernie Bishop

Moving forward in our series on how to get started in handgun hunting, this episode is all about optics. Heath and Ryan discuss options for sights, red dots, and pistol scopes. Ryan interviews Ernie Bishop, who is well known in the long-range pistol community. Ernie puts on a shooting competition, WYSHOT, where competitors shoot at steel targets at 1400 yards and beyond using specialty pistols. Most of these pistols carry rifle scopes, so we discuss putting rifle scopes on handguns.
