Aron welcomes Bruno Fallon back to the podcast.  Bruno is the Director of Operations for Born Primitive Tactical, retired military serviceman with 40+ years for active duty and DOD service.  As training, fitness, and health are paramount for both Bruno and Aron, they dive into diet, exercise, the sugar epidemic, and the importance of daily water intake. Little more about Bruno: Bruno retired in 2023 from a combined 40+ years of active duty and DOD government civilian service. His active-duty service was as a US Army Ranger, Special Forces operator, and Night Stalker flight lead. Bruno accumulated over eight years of combat/imminent danger service while on active duty. He then spent over a decade as a civilian with Naval Special Warfare Development Group in their operations directorate and as the director of urban training. Bruno was recruited by Born Primitive in late 2022 to develop our Tactical apparel and create a line best suited for law enforcement and global military units to better conduct their mission.

Aron welcomes Dale Perry of Evolution Outdoors back to the podcast.  Back in November, Evolution was the winner of Aron's extensive and popular broadhead review.  In the two months since then, questions and comments have rolled in on our page as well as Dale's.  So we decided to get Dale on, to talk about the broadheads, why Aron felt they checked the most boxes and to answer some of the questions that came in from you the listener.

Why do you need to take the desert sheep tag from the non resident.....I agree with your idea of the auction. However don’t forget how much of the budget for CO division of wildlife that non residents pay. Keep up the good work.
