Talking, Talking and More Talking with Max Michel of Team Sig
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one… to attempt to interview another one, who is every bit as nutty as the first one, one looks for Team Sig’s Max Michel. So we did. We caught up with Max at SHOT Show and dragged him away from the screaming fans and corporate […]

Should Turkey Decoys Do The Nasty? These and Other Questions with Barbara Baird of The WON
I love this job. Although it is, at times, dangerous. Like at the recent NRA Annual Meeting.

And one of the ringleaders was Barbara Baird, publisher of The WON. So I […]
