Dear Shooter

Episode 114 The British are Coming!

This week we jump into the legendary "shot heard 'round the world" – that awkward moment when the colonies decided they were totally done with England's nonsense.

Episode 111 Better Safe Than Sorry!

This week we chat with Clayton Schlosser from Pivotal Defense, who's about to drop some truth bombs about why medical training isn't important... until suddenly it's the ONLY thing that matters! 
You know, like how you don't need a fire extinguisher until your toast becomes a torch, or how band-aids aren't essential until you try to catch a falling knife (pro tip: don't).
