Bonus Episode: Thoughts on Training & Safety With Fiocchi’s Buel Collins
In this special bonus episode, we play back the interview Riley and Jacob were able to do with Buel Collins, Marketing Manager with Fiocchi Ammunition. What we really appreciate about Buel is that he doesn’t just work in the firearms/ammunition industry. He eats, drinks, and sleeps it! He really knows how to shoot and takes it seriously enough to seek out dozens of training hours each year with respected firearms instructors. We found his insight valuable about training and also the importance of making sure a person is comfortable with a firearm with regards to safety BEFORE moving forward with anything else.
