192 - Competitive Muzzleloader with Barry Brakebill

Author: Pete Rogers July 31, 2023 Duration: 1:11:26

In the world of competitive muzzleloading shooting, one name stands out above the rest. Barry Brakebill has won multiple National Championships in several disciplines of muzzleloading rifle competitions.

Today we will break down the details it takes for someone to achieve elite level of competition shooting. Where perfect scores are required to even place in the money, getting perfect X shots are required to win.

Barry breaks down the importance of powders, rifles, projectile differences, and how the barometric pressure will affect bullets in flight.

But Barry Brakebill is also one of the most dedicated followers of Christ I know. His passion for Jesus is contagious and we have a great conversation about his faith and how it sustains him and is the center of his life.


For twenty-five years, Pete Rogers has been writing and speaking about the wilderness, but he found the conversations happening around campfires and in duck blinds often went deeper than just tactics or gear. Those moments sparked Christian Outdoors Podcast, which he launched in 2019 after considerable reflection. This isn't a sermon from a mountaintop, but a series of genuine conversations rooted in a simple, guiding mission: to explore all things outdoors and discover how to find joy in a spiritual connection every single day. You’ll hear from hunters, anglers, hikers, and conservationists who share their own stories from the field, blending practical outdoor wisdom with personal reflections on faith and creation. Pete draws on his long background as an outdoor writer and author to steer these discussions, creating a space where the thrill of a turkey hunt and the quiet of a sunrise sit comfortably alongside matters of spirit. It’s a unique blend, born from a nonprofit based in Taylors, South Carolina, that feels less like a produced show and more like an invitation to join a like-minded community. Each episode of this podcast is built on the idea that the natural world and a life of faith aren't separate journeys, but are beautifully and inextricably woven together.
