Guest Information
Episode Description
Our first guest, David Tubb, is arguably the best, and winningest, competitive rifleman in history. He has won a record eleven NRA National High Power Rifle Championship titles at Camp Perry, Ohio.
Trophies aside, though, David's biggest contribution to our shooting sports is his innovative mind. The underlying essence behind his company, Superior Shooting Systems Inc. developments is the continued advancement of the "human factor" in the shooting sports.
Our next guest is Regina Milkovich, one of Timney Triggers’ Pros. She’s been on the show before because she is just that much fun and has lots of information to share. While her segment is a Pre-Record, you’ll hear her on our radio show AND see her on our Facebook Live videocast on our @TSWKM Facebook Page. Remember to tune in to our interactive Facebook Live show!
Taking Stock with Kelly McMillan

McMillan Fiberglass Stocks (MFS) began on the dining room table of Gale and Gloria McMillan in 1973. Making benchrest stocks for competitors soon forced the business into what started out as a carport and storage shed but was soon turn into a garage shop. By 1975 MFS was ready to hire its first employee, Kelly McMillan. From day one, every time Gale showed Kelly how to do something, it became his job, with the intent of freeing up Gale to build rifles.
By 1979 Kelly was made a partner, and by 1984 Kelly was in charge of running the stock shop. Since that time MFS has continued to grow with innovation and design. Today McMillan Fiberglass Stocks has a 15,000 sq. ft. facility and 65 employees. Over half of the employees have worked for MFS for over 15 years while a dozen have reached or are near 30 years with the company. MFS manufactures around 12,000 stocks per year, most of which are individual customers ordering one custom built stock at a time.
