Dear Shooter

Brandy Crotteau, CEO Co-Host, Jason Crotteau, Co-Host, Jason Wilson, Co-Host

Ever wondered what happens when you put two Jasons and a Brandy in a room? No, this isn't the start of a joke – it's your weekly dose of firearms wisdom that's actually fun to digest!

Join the dynamic trio from Wyoming Tactical LLC and Lucid Optics as they spill the beans on everything from gear fails to tactical wins. Think of it as your favorite coffee shop chat, but with people who actually know what they're talking about!

What's in store:

  • Gear talk (because who doesn't love new toys?)
  • Training tips (so you don't look like a newbie at the range)
  • Tactical wisdom (minus the mall ninja stuff)
  • Real-world mistake prevention (learn from their oops, not yours!)

Whether you're a seasoned shooter or just starting out, these weekly round tables are like having three personal mentors who aren't afraid to keep it real – and occasionally roast each other for your entertainment.
