  • Not much ar15

    Called ar15 podcast but most the time is talking and bragging bout what matches they shot. Worse than WLS hunting stories.

  • It’s just okay

    It used to be better. Lately it’s been a bit dry, and more focused on bourbon? Idk, turning a bit fuddy unfortunately.

  • Very disappointed in latest episode.

    Please don’t have Jon Patton on again. He’s a blowhard and a bully. If he was as smart as he acts, he’d have his own gun company that actually sold stuff.
