NOIR Ep.17: Shotgun For Home Defense, Bullet Buttons, Athletic Shooting as a Pro Sport

About this video

Colion discusses shotguns for home defense, explaining his view that pump-action shotguns are easier to mishandle than people assume and that shot patterns don’t spread as widely indoors as commonly believed. He features retired NFL player Andrew Klein to explore the business potential of making freestyle shooting into a spectator sport, drawing parallels to how BMX and snowboarding evolved. The episode continues Colion’s shooting challenge against Lort through multiple stages involving rifle and handgun precision.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that pump-action shotguns, while effective, are more difficult for home defense than commonly thought due to the risk of short-stroking and operator error under stress
• According to Colion, buckshot patterns at typical indoor distances (around 7 yards) spread only to about the size of a tennis ball, not an entire wall as often portrayed in movies
• Colion and guest Andrew Klein discuss the feasibility of turning freestyle shooting into a mainstream spectator sport by modernizing presentation, using technology for audience engagement, and applying successful business models from other action sports
