Topics covered include how the business got started, trial & error, hunters at heart, sweeping the shop floor, employees as family and family as employees, expansion to ammo and rifles, hunting as a passion and profession, conservation, and a lot of other great hunting stories from a family that has lived hunting and shooting for over seventy years.

Hey folks, Randy Noobberg here. I have another episode of Loop Old Hunt Talk Radio coming to you.

0:09.3

Today we got a really cool guest. If you're like me, you'd love to hear these small business

0:17.8

stories, these family stories, these kind of legacy of the hunting world stories. So today,

0:26.1

on this podcast is John Nozzler. And if you're into Alconning, you know, and you're probably

0:33.5

fully aware, maybe even you're one of the people like me who have been shooting Partition Bullets for,

0:39.6

I don't know how long. But it's an interesting story and it's really tied to the legacy of Alconning.

0:48.9

And hopefully, John will tell us a story of how it all evolved and what it's like to run a

0:55.6

family-held business in the hunting world. Because as you've seen in the hunting space,

1:01.6

outdoor space, you get these conglomerates where it's by more and more of these smaller brands

1:08.2

or family-held brands. And pretty soon you get these great big companies, sometimes publicly

1:43.4

how a family-owned business grows and prosper in today's world and in the climate we find ourselves in.

1:52.8

And maybe learn something from it along the way. All right, that's my hope. And I've

2:00.8

bothered John and he's carved out some of his time today. And we're going to, when I hit the button

2:07.1

here, he'll be connected. And you will hear what he has to say with this, I said any molistic

2:14.3

questions or kind of an outline of topics I want to touch on because otherwise I end up way down

2:20.8

in these rabbit holes. I mean like way out in the weeds. So I can't say the questions are anything

2:26.6

specific other than just general talking points to to keep me the host on track. But

want to thank Lou Pulld for being the title sponsor of this podcast. Another family-held
