#59-Nick Charney

"The first year we came out, we bought as much inventory as we could in a short amount of time. We were handwriting on white boxes with black sharpie all of the data on the shells. We were getting the word out on social media. And we spent weeks building up this inventory for launch. And when we launched, our online store was wiped out in 16 minutes."— Nick Charney Today’s guest started off packaging shotgun shells into plain white boxes with the labels written on the box. We’re going to talk through what it takes to go from that, to doubling your revenue in a single year. Nick Charney is an engineer and shotshell ballistics expert. He is currently on active duty with the United States Air Force and he is the co-founder of Apex Ammunition.I was drawn to his story because A) I’m a cofounder of an outdoor company myself. And B) it’s turkey season, so naturally I’m thinking about shotgun loads. Restless Native is brought to you by GoWildDownload GoWild today

95: Apex Ammunition Cofounder, Ballistics Expert, Nick Charney

Nick CharneyApex AmmunitionMy guest today is Nick Charney, co-owner of Apex Ammunition. Nick is an engineer and shotshell ballistics expert currently on active duty with the United States Air Force. We caught Nick right in the middle of waterfowl and turkey seasons and talked about how Apex got it’s start, the nuances and factors that go into producing premium performance ammunition as well as the ying and yang of tweaking true Tungsten loads. We also dove into the different Tungsten ratings and how those ratings indicate overall density of Tungsten pellets. We talked through the marketing schemes of modern day ammo manufacturers and why buzz words like “speed” do not equate to a more lethal round downrange. Faster does not necessarily mean better. We then discuss the 1991 ban on all lead shot for use in waterfowl hunting. For those guys out there that say there isn’t a single shred of evidence to justify the USFWS’ decision, you’re right… there’s not a single shred of evidence.. there is a TON of it. We talk about the before and after impacts of toxic vs. non-toxic shot and then compare Bismuth to Steel and then to Tungsten. This was a super informative episode for us and we think it will be for you as well.https://apex-ammunition.myshopify.comhttps://www.instagram.com/apex_ammunition/     podcast home

Ep 6. Nick Charney - Apex Ammunition 

Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) and Wild Turkeys with Nick Charney This week I interview Nick Charney with Apex Ammunition to discuss Tungsten Super Shot and its performance for hunting turkeys. I ask Nick what the benefits of Tungsten Super Shot are over basic lead shot and even the other shot options which are more dense than lead when turkey hunting. I ask if we can use a smaller shot size in TSS than the customary #4, #5, or #6 shot sizes in lead. We discuss how some states are not allowing lead shot to be used any longer for hunting on any public lands and how TSS overcomes that environmental issue. We discuss why shooting shorter length shells in TSS can often yield the same, if not better, results than longer (heavier recoiled) lead loads. We also discuss why shooting a smaller/lighter gauge shotgun with TSS can yield the same, if not better, results than a heavier gauge gun. We also discuss the availability of Tungsten Super Shot in the United States, and why it costs more than lead shot does. Listen in and learn why your old lead shotgun shells may be causing you to carry more weight around in the woods and causing you to deal with more recoil when shooting than you really need to.
