Shoot2Hunt
Two hunting industry veterans discuss the unvarnished reality of long-range shooting and hunting, from technical deep dives to casual banter.
A co-hosted podcast about the technical side of hunting and shooting, presented as a 'no sugar coated bullshit' conversation between two industry insiders. Episodes mix guest interviews with two-man discussions that cover everything from cartridge selection and ballistics to personal hunting stories, product development, and long, unrelated tangents on pop culture, movies, and the quality of Diet Coke.
“The show's signature is its blend of high-level technical expertise with a deliberately loose, rambling, and informal conversational style. Unlike highly-produced shows, the hosts are known for extended off-topic banter and letting conversations wander from ballistics to movie reviews.”
Who hosts this show
Shoot2Hunt is hosted by Jake Mushaney, the founder of Unknown Munitions, and Ryan Avery, the co-founder and web guru for the hunting forum Rokslide. Mushaney's company started as a small ammunition maker and grew into a full custom rifle and Cerakote shop in Post Falls, Idaho. Avery, a military veteran, grew up hunting in North Idaho and co-founded Rokslide, a major online community for backcountry hunters. Together, they cover topics like ammunition, rifles, and hunting gear with an un-filtered approach.

What you'll be asked on this show
The interview format is extremely casual and conversational, often resembling friends catching up more than a formal Q&A. The hosts don't follow a rigid question list, instead allowing the conversation to flow organically based on shared interests. This frequently leads to long, detailed tangents about pop culture, such as movies, TV shows, and tattoos, that are unrelated to the guest's professional background. The hosts probe by sharing their own stories and opinions to elicit the same from the guest, creating a peer-to-peer dialogue rather than a hierarchical interview.
Episodes begin with a stylized intro featuring a Scottish narrator and bagpipe music before settling into a long, casual conversation. The hosts, Jake Mushaney and Ryan Avery, alternate between interviewing industry guests and having two-person discussions on specific topics. A significant portion of each episode, often the first 20-30 minutes, is dedicated to off-topic personal updates and banter.
