The most recent episode of the We Like Shooting podcast has us rethinking our career choices.

The cast for episode No. 266 includes Shawn Herrin, Savage1r, Jeremy Pozderac and Nick Lynch.

Matt Hornback and Legacy Sports International

The guest for episode No. 266 is Matt Hornback of Legacy Sports International — Howa Rifles, amongst many other brands.

Hornback is the director of product development for Legacy. What does that entail?
