EP 92: Ask Aaron - Guns That Don't Shoot Nov 30, 2021

Not all guns shoot.

Aaron and Landon talk about the various problems and challenges often encountered when building precision rifles, the effect that each component has on the system as a whole and what remedies are often taken to get a rifle shooting well.
