Backfire publishes in-depth content on shooting sports through multiple channels:
Backfire has earned credibility through extensive real-world testing. The channel provides detailed ballistic profiles for popular hunting cartridges including:
"I spent a year developing a recoil pad customized to your specific rifle's recoil signature. It's finally available." — Jim Harmer, Founder
