GoWild Gear Demo | They're Waterproof But Are They Boom Proof?

Water shoes are a favorite among hunters and anglers for good reason. They are known for being waterproof, light, and tough enough to handle long days spent in or around the water. We took some of the GoWild community's favorites and introduced them to the toughest test they could ever be put through. Our friend Jim Gilliland is a world class sniper and we asked him to do his worst to these water shoes. The result blew our minds.
Have you ever asked yourself what happens when one of the best snipers in the whole world shoots a piece of gear at 400 yards with a 6.5 creedmoor? We teamed up with Federal Ammunition, Nick Hoffman and Jim Gilliland to bring you a different type of gear review. Get ready, GoWild Gear Demos is coming.
