Episode 61 - Introduction to the Shotgun Sports (Part One)
We've been getting a lot of requests for covering other shooting sports so we sent Steve out on the road to start a new series for clay sport aficionados. This week, we start our new series on shotgun sports, together with two experts, John Larson (who you've seen before on our show) and Jay Burleson who's the Range Master at the Renton Fish & Game Club (http://www.rfgc.org) here in Washington State.

In this episode, they introduce the guns related to most of the popular shotgun sports, how you can get started, and what kinds of things to look out for. This is Part One.

Hope you enjoy the series. As again, please give us feedback via our email powerfactorshow@gmail.com.
