Episode 208 - Celebrating Four Years & All About Cheating
Episode 208 marks our fourth year producing weekly episodes on the sport of competition shooting. We started out focusing on IDPA and USPSA disciplines but have now branched off to Clay sports, 3-gun/multigun and various product reviews. We never expected the show to last this long and we're happy that it did all thanks to our fans and viewers. We could not have done it without you.

In this episode, all five of the hosts meet for the first time in one location to drink, eat, chat and celebrate the holidays. They've also finally agreed to discuss the topic of cheating on camera and share some of their more memorable stories.
