Michael Branson - Gideon Optics

The Big Tex Ordnance Podcast

In this episode, we are joined by Michael from Gideon Optics to have an in-depth conversation about optics. We discuss how etched reticles work, the magic behind red dots, and the differences between second focal plane and first focal plane scopes.
Michael shares his passion for making quality optics accessible and affordable so more people can exercise their Second Amendment rights. He talks about some of the new Gideon products coming out, including a 1x prism scope, 1-8x and 1-10x LPVOs that will be shown at SHOT Show.
We also touch on topics like positive ways to teach new shooters, taking a stand against "stop being poor" snobbery in the gun community, and tips for finding the dot faster on a pistol draw. Michael brings great energy and makes some insightful points about the optics industry and training mindset.
