You've Been Sighting in Your Rifle All Wrong
Episode 64
mercredi 5 juin 2024 • Duration 43:52
Most people walk away from the range with a “near-o” rather than a zero, as one of shooting editor John B. Snow's precision rifle buddies aptly puts it. And often that’s good enough.

Episode 63
mercredi 29 mai 2024 • Duration 38:15
