Summary

In episode 261 of Leupold's Hunt Talk Radio, Randy is joined by Brandon Maddox, founder of Silencer Central. The discussion covers Randy's journey from being an old school traditionalist to now hunting exclusively with a suppressed rifle, and losing most of his left-ear hearing along the way. Topics covered include the story behind Silencer Central, debunking myths around hunting with suppressors, the ease of acquiring a suppressor, some hunting stories, and the reasons Randy is such an advocate for all people to hunt with a suppressed rifle.
