In today’s 12 Minute Talk, we’re breaking down one of the most debated topics in long range shooting, dialing vs holding over for elevation.

Is dialing really more accurate, or is that just old-school thinking? With modern reticles, better glass, and smarter setups, the answer isn’t as black and white as it used to be.

We cover:

• When to dial vs when to hold
• How modern reticles have changed the game
• Why simplicity matters more than most shooters think
• Real-world hunting scenarios vs range theory
• Scope and reticle preferences for different distances

At the end of the day, it comes down to context, equipment, and personal preference, but there is a practical way to approach it.

In this episode, Wade breaks down one of the most confusing topics in long range shooting, ballistic drag models.

What is BC?
Why does it matter?
And which one should you actually be using?

We cover:

• What ballistic coefficient (BC) really means
• Why higher BC isn’t always the full story
• G1 vs G7 (and why G1 needs to go)
• When G7 is more than enough for hunting
• What CDMs and PDMs are, and when they actually matter

This is part of Wade’s long range “library” series, built to give hunters practical, usable knowledge without getting lost in the weeds.

If you’ve ever been confused about what to plug into your ballistic app… this is the one.

In this archived 12 Minute Talk, Wade breaks down the single most important factor in becoming a better predator hunter.

It’s not gear.
It’s not a new call.
It’s not a thermal upgrade.

It’s time.

Time in the field.
Time at the range.
Time scouting land.
Time watching coyotes.
Time learning the animal.

Wade dives into why more reps, more observation, and more understanding of coyote behavior will outpace any equipment upgrade, and why too many hunters overlook the fundamentals.

If you’re serious about leveling up your predator hunting, this one’s a must-listen.
