Steve and Jodi visit with Adam and Brenda Weatherby of of Weatherby, Inc - the American firearms company. Adam is the third generation Weatherby to run his family’s company, which was started by his grandfather, Roy, in the 1940’s. Adam talks a little bit about how Roy, a farmer from Kansas, started tinkering in his basement after he moved to California and founded the company that has thrived on innovations in fast shooting rifle cartridges and high-quality firearms. We also talk with Brenda about how she got her start hunting – even though she’s been part of the Weatherby family for more than two decades, she took her hunter safety course with her daughter and started hunting just three years ago.
