00:00 - Corrections
07:24 - Is it better to hold a rifle very tightly, or more loosely? And is it better to pull the rifle in mostly with the hand holding the stock, or with the hand holding the barrel? I find that pulling in from the barrel seems to affect accuracy a lot, but I am very poor shot!
09:09 - Why shouldn't we use the heavy recoil technique for ALL rifles as there is great danger if you accidentally use a .22 technique on a heavy rifle? Also, learning 2 different techniques is not fun!
10:44 - Why use a suppressor over a muzzleloader?
12:12 - Ron, is it wrong or simplistic to treat accuracy as the foremost consideration for a hunting caliber? The most powerful projectile out of the most expensive gun is worthless if it misses entirely or wounds the animal.
14:31 - Can you please brush us up on the phenomenon of "projectile jump?" Aerial gunners are taught to change their point of aim because (as we are taught) the velocity of wind impacting a projectile from a side-firing gun will impart either an upward shift (left side of aircraft) or downward shift (right side of aircraft) on the projectile. Can you share what you know about it?
20:22 - Back in the day, I used a ballistics software program called Remington Shoot, but it has since gone away. There are some others out there, but they seem to be very complicated. Would you happen to know of an easy-to-use and reliable ballistics program that an average Joe like me can use?
23:59 - I’ve been looking into a Triggertech Primary for my Remington 700 after experiencing one on another rifle. What are your thoughts on aftermarket triggers on hunting rifles and what is your recommended “sweet spot” regarding the balance between a perceived improvement and still keeping a safe pull weight in mind?

Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion - the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me - from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.
