On the Upland Nation podcast’s recurring feature “Outdoors Insider,” host Scott Linden interviews Andy McCormick, executive vice president of marketing and sales at Legacy Sports International. McCormick brings listeners up to speed on why the firearms business is scrambling - and what might change that. He offers tips on gun shopping, market trends, what's hot in shotgun gauges and styles ... all from a guy with 40 years' experience in the industry. Legacy's brands include Pointer shotguns and Howa rifles, among others.

McCormick shares his passion for bird dogs and hunting valley quail, and offers suggestions on preventing the most common gun-care problem his warranty department gets. He opines on how the political situation might affect our hunting season and the supply of firearms in the U.S. market. The podcast’s regular features this week include: why sunglasses might put a kibosh on dog training success, and a tip on public-access hunting in New Mexico.
