Happy New Year from all of us at TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast - Today in Episode 99, the squad discusses their 2024 New Year's Gun Resolutions. We've brought on a lot of the TFB Crew and a couple of friends including Brass Facts, Crogs, and Katie from the Discord channels. In this celebratory episode we all talk about what we want to get out of our firearm year in 2024. While most of us probably want to shoot more in general, today the gang has a few more specific goals in mind when it comes to some of the firearms they want to pick up, shooting events they want to attend, or even some more basic training needs and practices. No matter how you slice it, we're all out here to improve this year so we hope you'll join us in ringing in the new year with some positive energy as we discuss our 2024 New Year's Gun Resolutions. 

It goes without saying that for media outfits like TFB and TFBTV, SHOT Show is one of the biggest highlights of the year, with virtually unfettered access to all of the industry's various firearms, optics, ammunition, and accessory companies as well as their latest products. This week we're bringing you a previously unreleaesd episode of the TFB Behind the Gun Podcast featuring TFB Writer Marcus H. This episode is back from the very same year that we started the podcast (2020) and we recently found this lost audio and decided it was a perfect time to share it with you all. Marcus is an avid long-range shooter who has covered this specific topic many times in the past, and today we get to hear TFB's Editor, Pete pick his brain about all things long-range shooting as well as what his pick for an end of the world gun would be. Please welcome TFB Writer Marcus H to the show! 

On today's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun podcast we've brought back fellow TFB writer Sam S, author of our weekly series the TFB Armorer's Bench, as well as one of our resident gunsmiths and gun history nerds. While it's not as common today to come across weird undocumented firearms from a bygone era, you can still find these oddities in pawn shops and inside the consignment cabinets of local gun shops. Today Sam and I talk a bit about some of the weird guns we've come across over the years including a mystery manufacture revolver and a High Standard rimfire pistol with a questionable set of components. So join us this week as we talk about all the weird, and mismatched guns we've come across in in this episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast. 

In this episode of TFB’s Behind the Gun podcast we’ve brought back in our Editor in Chief Pete, as well as long time TFB Writer, Editor, and the editor of Overt Defense, Matthew Moss. Matt has been writing for TFB for quite a long time and in addition to covering historical firearms, he also has quite the passion for the minute details that can be found in the complex and vast world of military firearms, technology, and news. This has led Matt to become the editor of Overt Defense, a daily blog that specifically focuses on not just America military news and issues, but the militaries of all nations across the planet. Matt’s job, as well as his many other ventures within the historical firearms space have given him a lot of insight into not just past conflicts, but current ones as well. Today Matt and Pete discuss the various conflicts going on around the world, the arms we’re seeing these conflicts fought with, and of course what weapon Matt would go for if he had 90 seconds to “bug out.

In this episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, we talk about Christmas gifts for gun guys! I've brought alohg a special guest, Kirk from Aero Precision, as well as Paul B, and Eugene L from AllOutdoor to talk about the best Christmas gifts to get for gun guys. Since the four of us have a pretty wide variety of tastes and experience when it comes to guns, we decided to get together and have a short brainstorming session about what kinds of gifts that gun guys actually want to recieve from their friends and loved ones. While we all love guns, there are just some things that cost quite a bit but aren't perfect for everyone in every situation. So today we'll each give you our best suggestions for the perfect stocking stuffers, gifts for your close friends and family, as well as some of what each of us would like for christmas. So join us today as we brainstorm about our last minute Christmas shopping ideas! 

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at TFB and TFBTV! This episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast is just a quick one to let some of the TFB crew share what they are thankful about this year both in their own lives, and specifically in the gun industry! We'd love to hear what made your 2023 Thanksgiving great this year as well as what you're all thankful for! Sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's special episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast! 

In this episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast we've brought back on fellow TFB writer and my good friend Nic L to talk about his recent reintroduction into the competition shooting world. I'm of the belief that competition shooting is one of the best ways to stay not only competent and familiar with your firearms, but a great way to test out any new gear, guns, or ammunition you roll into your EDC and home defense setup. Today Nic and I share some personal stories and chat about our own experiences with competition shooting, and how it has not only enriched our personal lives, but given our reviews some much-needed variety when it comes to torture testing and finding out what new products in the firearms market are really capable of. 

On today's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast I've brought on the owner and operator of Munitionworks, Dane, to talk a bit about his company. When it comes to AR-15 rifles, most of us aren't really looking to reinvent the wheel, and I think that goes the same for Dane. Dane and Munitionworks strive to give their customers access to the best available parts, for the lowest available price. As a result, one of Munitionworks' first rifles was the J.O.E. (Just your Ordinary, Everyday) Carbine, a simple carbine length rifle with good core components that the "average joe" could then take and spice up with their own flavor and preference of aftermarket parts. Today Dane and I will discuss his origins in the firearms world, how he came to start up Munitionworks, and give a detailed breakdown of a couple of his rifles, as well as a deep look into a unique barrel-fitting technique he uses - Thermal Fitting. Please welcome Dane from Munitionworks to the show! 

On today's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast we've brought back some old friends of the show: Philip, Brent, Daryl, and Kyle, to talk about their recent experiences at the 2023 Hesco Zombie Invitational hosted at the Echo Valley Training center in West Virginia. Perfectly fitting for the month of October, the Zombie Invitational is an appropriately themed three-gun action match that involves more than just moving and shooting, but also incorporating your very own zombie survival gear to bring along with you to the match. We've previously talked to the gang about their experiences at the team-oriented Wolverine 5K match and the gang has once again reached out to give us all their first-hand experiences at this special zombie themed match that really cashes in on all of the hype in the early 00s surrounding the zombie apocalypse fad. Please welcome our conquering zombie slaying guests to the show!
