TFB Behind the Gun #203: Drue of Re-Nine Safety
On today’s episode of TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast, I finally have the opportunity to bring on someone from an often underappreciated side of the gun industry - Targets. Drue Addis is here to represent his family’s company - Re-Nine Safety. Today, Drue is going to share how his family’s company started, how shooting and firearms influenced his family, and, of course, help us understand the design decisions and features behind Re-Nine’s unique cardboard targets. We’ll also get a peek behind the curtain about how Re-Nine’s new AR500 targets are made, and what we can expect to see from their growing product lineup in 2026 and beyond. Please give Drue a warm welcome to the program!
