Welcome to Empty Mags, the shooting podcast for a regular person, by a regular guy.

The industry, as well as the “gun culture” in general, is full of “tactical”, “high-speed”, “operator” and more “warrior mentality” than the average Joe with a handgun or rifle may be familiar with. It’s not that there is anything wrong with the terms above or the people that embrace them; but from my perspective there is a severe lack of information out there that is geared towards the “low speed, high drag” type shooters like myself.

The Empty Mags Podcast is an idea that has been jiggling around in my gray matter for some time and I figured it was about time I actually brought it to light. The first and subsequent podcasts are still a few weeks out, so in the mean time let me give you a little idea of what you will find here:

I’ve had the privilege of being “born with a gun in my hand“, but I’ve always lacked the gear, money, will or ambition to take it to the next step. Whether that step be additional higher-end training or competing in the various shooting sports, I just have not done it. I’m the regular guy with a gun and a gunblog, working a 40 hour a week IT job. I have no military or law enforcement experience, I don’t (yet) compete and my training has been limited to what has been passed down to me and a few quick classes. One of my biggest problems when it comes to firearms related activities: Empty Magazines, and I have a pretty good feeling that there are many other folks out there in similar situations whether it be the lack of time, money, will or any combination of. I hope you will join me in my quest to improve myself as a shooter, with the gear and means I have at my disposal. I will share tips, tricks and stories to in turn help you get the most out of what you have.

In addition to the above, I hope to continue my personal dive into Second Amendment and the Right to Keep and Bear Arms issues, make sense out of them, and help you understand them.

As I mentioned, the first episodes are still a few weeks away, so I hope you bookmark this or add it to your feeds so you can come back and check out the Empty Mags Podcast when it gets rolling.
