Jim Webley is a husband, dad, hunting guide, and Pastor of Baptist Mountain Church in Noxon, MT. In fact, he's my Pastor! Jim joins me in The Broken Tines Studio this week for a deep conversation centered around the profound connection to God that hunting offers us. We discuss the state of our modern society, and what leads a man's soul to emptiness in a world full of convenience. We walk down a fairly philisophical path about the guidence God offers us, and how obvious it becomes as an outdoorsman. Jim is authentic and unafraid to share his beliefs.  Pastor Jim Webley is an exceptional human in my book. His lifelong hunting experience and years as a guide give him some unique perspectives, and he's fantastic at articulating them. This episode is a true journey with a guy I'm super proud to call a friend.  Waypoint Outfitters (Jim Guides For) Show Sponsors!

Leupold just launched a new flagship hunting scope, called the VX-6HD Gen 2.  Friends, I didn't think the first-generation VX-6HD could get any better. But by golly, Leupold has successfully improved my favorite riflescope. The new Gen 2 version has an improved, tool-less turret, a built-in throw lever on the power ring, and most importantly, it's now got the same internal guts and gears as Leupold's legendary Mark 5 line of precision/tactical scopes.  In this episode, I sit down with Tim Lesser, Vice President of product development and marketing  and get an awesome backstage look at the new VX-6HD Gen 2 riflescope. This was an awesome episode to record... ENJOY!    FRIENDS!
