It's that time of year again and we just returned from the quickest way to lose money on the planet. No, not gambling. SHOT Show! We went to find the new, the weird and the exciting!

Episode 98 Fudds, Duds and Codgers

Today we are talking with Jayden Haslin about the struggles that new shooters still face when trying to get started in shooting and in the industry at large. It is surprising that in 2024 we still see gatekeeping by the older generation. We need new blood and new ideas to keep the gun culture alive.

Episode 97 Mythbusting

We've all heard the tropes, racking a shotgun will scare away any intruder, oh and that light / laser on your firearm, that will give you away. How about I called the police, so I'll be ok till they get here. Some really bad advice and fuddisms just refuse to die. So we explore some of the common tales we've all heard.

Episode 96 Range Safety

Our host Jason Wilson recently completed a range evaluation as an NRA RTTA and it reminded us about how safe ranges can be, or not be.  Not So much are YOU being safe, but what makes a safe range? How do you utilize a range safely, and things to look out for that may put you at risk.

Episode 95 The debate rages on...

Yes, the age old argument: Rock vs. Stick,  Trebuchet vs. Catapult, Prop vs. Jet and yes 9mm vs .45.  Gun writers must be bored because here we are again, and Hornady is releasing a new caliber. (But is it really?) Oh get this, Texas says that you cannot be banned from owning firearms if you use marijuana?! This will end up requiring some adjustment.
