In this week’s episode of The Range Podcast, Ricky and Hollywood talk with Nate Axtman, a sales rep for Proactive Midwest, a sales rep group focused on popular brands in the shooting sports world. 

Nate starts with his introduction to hunting as a young man with upland game alongside his family. He started shooting an old recurve bow that his dad owned, which led him to a job at the local Scheel’s sporting goods store in Grand Forks, ND.

Nate is also known as “Snack Boy”. Hollywood begs the question, and Nate reveals the secret to winning the hearts of all the folks around him.
