Ep. 89 | The Truth About Gear Reviews with Sean Curtis

This week on the Tejas Hunt Club Podcast, Meagan sits down with Sean Curtis, Content Producer and Lead Review Analyst for Pew Pew Tactical.Sean spent 22 and a half years in Colorado law enforcement, going from reserve deputy to patrol commander before moving to a district attorney's office as an investigator. Along the way he was an EMT, an assistant fire marshal on a wildland team, and ran search and rescue, which is where a lot of his outdoor knowledge comes from. He started writing on nights and weekends, went full time with Pew Pew Tactical in 2021, and moved his family to Texas to do it.With Tejas Hunt Club now holding our FFL/SOT, we wanted to bring in people who know firearms and gear from the inside. Sean talks about what search and rescue taught him about preparedness, why a lighter in your pocket has saved more hunters than a pack full of gear, and how Pew Pew Tactical actually approaches product reviews. We also get into the realities of building firearms content on YouTube, the affiliate side of the business, and where the hunting market fits into all of it.In this episode, we cover:Sean's path from law enforcement and search and rescue into the outdoor media industryPreparedness lessons from years of search and rescue calls, and the small kit that makes the differenceHow Pew Pew Tactical selects, tests, and reviews firearms, and why they don't run negative reviewsBuilding firearms content on YouTube and the challenges the platform createsAffiliate marketing in the gun industry and why POMA relationships matterBolt guns, AR hunting calibers, and the rifle Sean built himselfThis one goes past gear reviews. It's about staying ready, doing the work honestly, and building something real in a crowded industry.📍 Guest: Sean Curtis, Content Producer and Lead Review Analyst, Pew Pew Tactical 🎯 Connected at: POMA Summit 🦌 Focus: Firearms reviews, preparedness, outdoor media and affiliate marketing 👇 Comment below: What's the one thing you always keep in your pocket in the field? 💬 LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more hunting stories, conservation conversations, and real outdoor life from Tejas Hunt Club.🔗 Learn More About Pew Pew Tactical: Website: https://www.pewpewtactical.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pewpewtactical/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PewPewTactical🌐 Tejas Hunt Club: https://tejashuntclub.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tejashuntclub/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/barmcmedia/#PewPewTactical #FirearmsReview #Preparedness #OutdoorIndustry #POMASummit #GetOutside #HuntingPodcast #TejasHuntClub #BuildTheTradition
