Interviews
•
1h 45m
Derrick Ratliff is the founder of Horizon Firearms, a Texas-based company renowned for crafting precision, custom bolt-action rifles. Raised on a ranch in Central Texas, Ratliff grew up surrounded by a culture of grit, tradition, and a deep respect for the outdoors — values that later shaped his vision for Horizon. Established in 2012, the company began with a mission to create one-of-a-kind legacy pieces that could be passed down through generations and accompany adventurers on their journeys. Ratliff's passion for innovation led to the development of the .22 Creedmoor cartridge, offering shooters a high-velocity, low-recoil option for long-range accuracy. Under his leadership, Horizon Firearms has grown from a garage-based operation to a 30,000-square-foot facility, integrating processes like action and stock manufacturing in-house. Beyond firearms, Ratliff shares his expertise and experiences through the On the Horizon podcast, delving into topics ranging from ballistics to hunting adventures.
