Reviews

• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Conner – Amazing show with a great cast of characters. Show was almost perfect until Aaron said Audi the wrong way. Keep up the good work otherwise!

• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from 5 stars for Gideon Optics – I asked yall a question a couple weeks ago about which optic to use on my Echelon. My luck Bob of Gideon was not around when you read my question. So I contacted Gideon with my questions. Mike B. From Gideon got back to me with in a day, with answer and suggestions that was a couple paragraph long, with photos. We traded a couple Emails. I decided on the valor mini, which arrived at my door in like 4 days. I added the Mischief machine grip module as well. Took it the range for the first time today. Run with out any problems. I very pleased with the service from Gideon.
  
  Y’all have a pretty good podcast as well.

• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Pandabiotch – I generally like this podcast, but I hate gun fights. Since you are giving away cigars I would suggest listing to the Cigar Authority podcast. They have a segment similar to gunfights but it’s more tolerable. They ask the question (describe the gun) quickly and everyone answers without first contemplating the meaning of life silently to themselves. Anyways Nick can have the cigars if you pick this one.
