Straight Shooters
The Forster Products Straight Shooters podcast is an open ended discussion between, reloaders, gunsmiths, precision shooters, and manufactures. We welcome you to come listen to, learn from and provide feedback to the Pros as we discuss challenges, innovations, and history of all things that add to the sport we love of precision shooting. Maybe you shoot PRS, F-Class, or coyotes, our goal is to not only provide some insight through testing we have done but to grow and learn as an industry/community.
