  • Ep #177

    Always a fresh look from different pockets of the firearm community! Refreshingly non political, but touches on those areas occasionally without a judgemental bias! A 'must hear weekly'!

  • Please fix the audio

    This is 5 star content with 1 star audio. I have to crank up the volume to barely hear it and then a notification from a text is like an explosion. Sometimes the speakers are at totally different volume levels. Please address this so I can give you the 5 stars the content deserves.

  • Ep #71 took me back

    Took me way back, to the 80’s when I was helping to train a team for the “Nijmegen Military March”, 4 marathons on 4 consecutive days is the definition of brutal, top it with boots, full lbe/Alice pack and an AR, you get the picture. Great show!

  • Good…but horrendous audio quality

    Good content but horrendous audio quality. I don’t know if they record with cheap mics, an inferior studio setup or just a poor mix, but this podcast is unlistenable to my ears. I won’t listen again until TFB fixes their audio.
