How Aimpoint Changed My Life: A Former Marine’s Epic Firearms Journey

In this episode of Aimpoint’s Taking Aim podcast, hosted by Richard Nance, guest Eric Poole, the 14th editor-in-chief of Guns & Ammo magazine, shares his journey into gun writing and his deep connection to firearms. Nance recounts meeting Poole 17 years ago at a Black Hawk gun writers’ event, which sparked his own career in writing after Poole encouraged him to contribute to gun magazines. Poole details his path, from a Marine Corps veteran and designated marksman during the 2003 Iraq invasion to becoming an armorer at the NRA and Blackwater, where his technical expertise shaped his writing. He discusses his passion for historical firearms, inspired by his VMI rifle team experience, and his role in launching the Guns & Ammo Buzz podcast to reach new audiences. Poole also highlights Aimpoint’s optics, praising the Acro’s innovative mounting and the RDS-MR’s versatile reticle, emphasizing their reliability for tactical and civilian use. The episode blends personal anecdotes, professional insights, and practical advice for aspiring gun writers, underscoring the importance of teamwork and multimedia platforms in the firearms industry.Check out the Guns and Ammo website at: https://www.gunsandammo.com/Follow Rich Nance on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nance_training_consulting/ and https://www.instagram.com/rnancewartac/
