#340- Time Travel, Aching Knees, and What We Wish We Knew Sooner

What does it actually mean to be an older shooter? In this episode of the Guns Podcast, hosts Brent Wheat and Roy Huntington dive into a candid, humorous, and deeply philosophical discussion about the reality of aging in the shooting sports community. Inspired by a wave of less-than-supportive comments from younger shooters on Instagram, Brent and Roy reflect on the evolution of a shooter's mindset—from the arrogant "know-it-all" youth to a stage in life focused on wisdom, mentorship, and simply enjoying the journey.   They tackle everything from dealing with internet critics and "FUD" name-calling to the physical realities of aching knees, failing eyesight, and why they wouldn't trade their hard-earned experience for youth. Stick around until the end to hear what advice they would give their younger selves, and a few classic police war stories about the psychological art of directing traffic!   In this episode, we discuss: The generational divide between younger Instagram shooters and seasoned veterans.   How the motivation shifts from proving yourself to improving yourself.   Why older shooters are comfortable in their own skin and impervious to online hate.   What Brent and Roy would say to their younger selves if time travel existed.   A hilarious sneak peek into police traffic control stories.   What would you tell your younger self about shooting, gear, or life?
