My name is Alex Richards, I’m a Canadian long range shooting enthusiast and the creator behind the EPIK ARMS Youtube Channel.

I started out the Youtube Channel as Affordable Optics and Rifle Reviews years ago reviewing cheap optics that I purchased off of Ebay.  Expressing my many opinions about guns while getting to shoot a lot was a lot of fun and my hobby (and channel) expanded.  My interest into the shooting world went further until I found my niche: long range shooting.  Somehow I convinced my wife to let me spend even more of our money on guns and optics, and my channel took off.  In 2022 I rebranded the channel to Epik Arms since most of what I review now isn’t really considered budget at all.

I now review Optics, Rifles and Long Range shooting accessories on my channel, as well as getting footage of events like TACCOM and ShotShow in addition to doing factory tours of manufacturers.  I’ve recently started selling shooting accessories on my other website, CDNPRECISION.COM to help fund the channel.
