Welcome to the show folks. This episode we're joined by Tim Lesser, Vice President of

Product Development and Marketing, and my favorite All-American Optic Company,

Louphold.

Welcome to the backcountry hunting podcast, sir.

Oh, thank you for having me.

I'm happy to be here and looking forward to it.

As am I. Folks I've asked him to give us something of a

backstage look at Leopold. The origin story, if you will, along with the designing and manufacturing ethos that drives

Luopold's outstanding products and so forth, including of course some

engineering perspective on what keeps Luopold scope in what I like to

think of as that kind of that tip of the spear position in the current market.

We're going to go over Luopold's shockingly rigorous testing protocol, too, and Lopold's uniquely

American manufacturing processes. And then if we're lucky, we'll get Tim to share his personal favorite scope model for serious

backcountry hunting and possibly give us a perspective on any new products coming down the

pipe that he has the liberty to talk about.

First though, I know I am sure our listeners would really like to hear about you, Tim,

tell us a little bit about yourself, your background in hunting and shooting,

guiding big game hunters, and your experiences in the industry, basically what fuels the passion in you and what brought you to head up your

department at Lopold. Oh sure yeah thank you so a little bit about me I was I

was guiding big game hunters in in the state of Wyoming and some of the

folks from the RuPaul sales team and marketing team would would come hunt with our

with our outfit a couple times a year.
