FROM THE VAULT: In this week’s episode of The Range Podcast, Ricky and Hollywood talk with Nate Axtman, a sales rep for Proactive Midwest, a sales rep group focused on popular brands in the shooting sports world.

Nate is also known as “Snack Boy”. Hollywood begs the question, and Nate reveals the secret to winning the hearts of all the folks around him.
