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.
