How Josh Turned His Passion Into a Career

What does it take to turn a passion for precision rifle shooting into a full-time career?

In this episode of the Forster Straight Shooters Podcast, Josh shares his journey from working as a journeyman lineman and building custom rifles in his garage to becoming a full-time gunsmith at Forster Products.

Josh takes us back to his early days of shooting, learning how to chamber barrels, purchasing his first lathe, and eventually turning his hobby into a business. We discuss the challenges of balancing a full-time job, competitive shooting, and building a reputation for quality gunsmithing.

We also look back at Josh's first two and a half years with Forster Products, how his role has evolved, and how his experience as a competitive PRS shooter has helped shape the company's products and services.

Plus, we talk about the development of the 30 Whitetail, the growth of Forster's custom rifle and barrel services, and Josh's future goals for expanding the business, helping customers, and offering more shooting instruction.

From learning the trade to building a career around something you love, this episode is all about hard work, dedication, and taking a chance on yourself.
