The Gun Experiment

A show hosted by two regular guys just like you, who like experimenting with concepts in guns, gear, training and everything in between. We’re going to talk about interesting things, with interesting people. We’ll discuss everyday topics and try to make you laugh, probably at our expense. You better believe we’ll be reviewing gear and sure we’ll talk about guns, but not just guns because that would get boring. We believe the gun is merely a tool and and the person is the true weapon. We want to explore different ways to make this “weapon” better in mind, body and spirit. Experiment...everyday.
