We're excited to bring Shotgun Sports USA back. Our goal is simple: tell the stories that matter, talk about what people care about, bring you the facts and connect with the people who make the sport great. Whether it's competition, hunting, industry news, or untold stories, we're here to bring you conversations worth listening to.

Shifting Focus From Gear To Stories
SPEAKER_00So with that in mind, I want to get a few episodes out there where choke tubes and shotgun shells and what gun you shoot, they're not the main topic. Don't get me wrong, we all like talking about that. We like talking about our setups. But there's a lot more to this sport than that. There are great stories we can listen to, there's interesting people to meet, there's conversations worth having, and that's what I want to focus on, and I want to get this thing rolling
New Pace Gratitude And Restart

So for all the listeners, I appreciate you. For all the new people that are listening, I appreciate you as well. I'm Justin Barker with Shotgun Sports USA, and let's get some episodes going on.
