It’s summertime! Pull up a lawn chair, pour yourself a water-beaded glass of lemonade and join the conversation. I just got the grass cut outside the RedsGear.com studio, so your timing is perfect.

In the Big Idea segment this month, hear about the monster bowfishing encounter I had with Moby Carp and see if you agree with the parallels I draw between guns, sex and ignorance. Please withhold judgement until you give it a listen.

Learn about a system for managing all your hunting properties (and it’s not software based!) in the Level up segment and in our monthly visit with Select Archery owner Darrell Stiennen, hear about the telltale signs that your bow is out of tune.

Everybody’s familiar with Garmin, right? Their products are helping us experience the outdoors in new ways and we visit with fellow outdoorsman Ted Gartner (who also happens to be their Director of Corporate Communications) for a chat about upcoming GPS tech.

Summer is the season for hitting the river to do some paddling and fishing. If you’re looking for a resort on a river where you can catch rainbows, brown, largemouth, smallmouth and all manner of sunfish, you’ll want to sit in on my talk with Brian Wilson, owner of One Eyed Willy’s Resort on the Niangua River near Lebanon, MO. You’d be hard pressed to find a resort that offers angling, hunting and recreational opportunities with such a minimal price tag.

Finally, you know we can’t end a show without shooting something. This month we welcome DirtNap Gear broadheads as the official broadhead of the Select Archery Backyard Bow Range and to celebrate, we’re shooting at an iPhone 4s. The “s” stands for “shoot.”
