4.5 out of 5 stars from 42 ratings
  • unlistenable

    Between the rambling, mouth clicks and smacking of the host, and the Darth Vader level nose breathing on the microphones, this is simply horrible to listen to. Could be good content (certain guests) but the horrible sounds are too much.

  • Very insightful

    Stumbled across this podcast.

    Amazing insight into the world of competitive shooting and what these athletes go through to prepare and compete.

    I am not a competitive shooter but I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this podcast. I learned a lot about shooting from listening to one episode.

    If you are a competitive shooter, I don’t think you will find a better show.
