Mason from Red Earth Distribution joins the podcast to talk about growing up in a hunting family, the early days that shaped his love for the outdoors, and how that eventually led him into the shooting industry. He shares stories from those first chaotic trips, the unforgettable moment he took his very first sambar, and how a childhood spent around rifles and cousins slowly turned into a full-time career.From there, we dig into some incredible adventures, including chasing game across South Australia, tackling the heat in Africa, and the insane reality of Argentina’s high-volume bird hunts—where shooting a thousand birds in a day is just the warm-up. Along the way we get plenty of laughs, from snapping skateboards in half to freezing T-shirts in 50-degree heat, and the running joke that “confidence fixes everything.”We also dive into the business side: what Red Earth Distribution is building, why brands like GPO (German Precision Optics) are gaining traction in Australia, and how the industry is evolving behind the scenes.
