- So check us out at minorityoutdooralliance.org , and we would love to see you at the festival, celebrating Diversity in the Outdoors.

AyA– A true work of art does not simply appear out of thin air. It begins as an idea in the mind of the artist, who then gives it physical shape and form using his innate skill and imagination. If the end product is to be genuine, the process of creation needs to remain uninterrupted from start to finish.
This principle has been the driving force in the making of AYA guns since 1915. An AYA gun embodies the very best knowledge and the skill of generations of leading gunsmiths, and for this reason it is considered throughout the world to be one of the finest examples of the combination of science and art, of reliability and elegance which only the finest gunmakers can produce.

About the Guest

Ryan Busse’s Gunfight book is about his battle against the industry that radicalized America. Its Ryan’s personal memoir and an inside look from a high level perspective from a former executive in the firearms industry. It’s personal to me because my wife and I have been discussing ways to change the prevailing narrative of fear that permeates the Black community and perceptions of the Black community that have been fostered through the firearms industry, so this book was quite personal to me and honestly, quite visceral. Ryan reached out to me for my endorsement as he was publishing the book and it was a no-brainer for me. It’s another answer to the prevailing question of what does all this diversity work have to do with the outdoors, hunting, wingshooting, etc. So I was thrilled to have him on my podcast to talk about this book and dive into deeper insights on the topic.

AyA- AYA make double barrelled shotguns in both side-by-side and over-and-under versions, in boxlock and sidelock versions, as well a double rifles, and all models share a common denominator: their exceptional quality. The ownership of an AYA shotgun makes one part of a special and exclusive community.
The Charles Jordan Group
- Charles Jordan recognizes quality. He was surely who educated me on the beauty of a Spanish double gun actually, and I’ve since acquired my AyA No. 4/56. So that brings up a conversation about creativity on 2 levels. 1, about Charles Jordan, (his read) and 2, about AyA (their creativity speech). So call the Charles Jordan group and ask them about Spanish Doubles and the Orvis endorsed hunting lodges that carry Spanish Doubles, and ___the Spanish gun comoany____ they’ve created success marketing strategies for.

Eukanuba- Eukanuba provides THE NUTRIENTS CANINE ATHLETES NEED. Genetics and training are the foundation of performance. But to fully set performance in motion, dogs need nutrition designed for what they do. You can get your sporting dog fueled up at https://www.eukanubasportingdog.com/.
