Episode 156 - Happy 3rd Anniversary

We made it. Three years of non-stop weekly episodes about competitive shooting. We wouldn't say it was all hunky dory but it has definitely been a fun experience. From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank all of you, our fans, viewers, supporters and sponsors. Without you, there would be no show and we wouldn't have built so many friendships.




Here's to another year of watching a bunch of guys talk about the sport that they love, and hope that you learn a thing or two along the way.




*CHEERS*
