Yall should add to the rapid fire. What gun the pros use when they hunt birds.

How about this for a conversation piece...... I have been shooting clays for a while now , at many different clubs. And the overwhelming opinion that no one brings up. Semi-autos on a clay ground ???

My name is haylyn

Why won’t Jasper shake Brandon’s hand? Is he just 100% fist 👊 guy or still in the COVID protocol?

any chance you will be doing a scoop on the canadian open??

Airport Ridge and Eagle's Nest always have fitasc setup as well if you're looking for more places to shoot

Another good episode Thanks guys .i go for the competetion and i get bored shooting local tourneys., so i travel especially for fitasc i had to travel ohio only had 1 course Hidden Haven that had fitasc set up.i also like to see where i stack up against the so called pros in which i had pretty good results.519873

This is Great! Go Sarasota Hawks @ SCTP Nationals next week!

You could do worse than to shoot like Richard. He is to shooting what fred couples is to golf.

Jasper was shooting behind me in our squad for the duration of the Worlds. I can say he saw extremely polite and considerate and we talked over various topics during the four days. I could not fault his etiquette and he displayed some superior clay shooting skills. I don’t know him but did hear about the reason behind the indifference but that was not my business. I did also see the Make a Break final and was surprised at the end but I enjoyed my four days shooting with him and wish him all the best.

I shot the event and heard there was 740 acres with 400 Promatic machines in use across the 8 fields, three super sporting fields and the five stand. We enjoyed the event.

It would be great if you did a podcast with Pete Mellory and Jamie Peckham

Keep the updates coming Rambo. Give us a leader board.

Microphone dropping out at 3 min mark during Federal rep.

Jason the microphone didn't get entire conversation. You may to get a mic and pass it back and forth. I am glad for videos to see Fitsc and interviews with the most famous shooters. My choice is George Digweed for sure

Go Maddy!!!!

Do people ever use a ATV quad?

100%, if you love this sport you have to vote for this sport. Amen to the people problem too!

Great podcast, guys. Eric Trump is a fantastic ambassador for shooting sports and the 2nd Amendment. Best podcast ever!

nice

Are you guys going to be at the u.s. open and will you be selling tee shirts?

Omg I just looked grace corselli up and she is drop dead gorgeous !

I, and the guys I shoot with. Don't care how hard the targets are. Ill give anything a whirl. And try to figure them out. We are no means pros. But we have a lot of fun. And discuss targets amongst ourselves.

Hey Jason, Great content. I was the guy asking you to include the POI in the rundown of the pro's setups at the Bunker at M&M. Steve Baglione (Bags) from Maine. Keep up the great work.

You didn’t ask about the Make a Break! Brandon was amazing

Hey guys, if half of your squad are missing do you think that squad rotation should be postponed and vacated spots be filled by other squads with similar problems.I had to shoot 5 stand at nationals with myself and one other guy and had no clue of target presentations once we started to rotate through the stands. It’s a horrible position to be in. Thanks

Thats the great thing about sporting you can sign up and shoot against the best in the world.Just make it world cup points like fitasc.They will lose shooters if they make you qualify for the world or national champoinship.Jon Kruger in 2001 made 18k winnings at the US Open at MM Brandon Powell earned 18k winning the worlds and events .Great review Joemez519873

I shot USPSA pistol through the 80s and 90s. I had to earn a slot to attend the National Championship at my local club which would get a couple of slots based on attendance through the year, or at an Area Championship which had slots for the top positions overall and top shooters through the classes. In those days the nationals could only have 500 to 600 shooters.

We can

Great to hear news about Ohio State event. Keep the podcasts coming. I look forward to Thursday morning for the podcast. I wish I could attend to take some shots at a course set by Jason!! Just as long as it is a 12 ga course.

Excellent conversation with Mr Hampton Jr. I was glad to hear the discussion around classes. My perception was the EC only cared about the highest classes and top shooters. It was nice to hear the discussion is about all shooters. Keep up the great podcasts. Always learn something from the podcasts.

Love what you guys are doing, best of luck at the Worlds. Hope to see you there.

The NSCA portion was great! It was nice to get clarification on how the changes to class came about and the hard numbers that support the changes. After this segment, the changes sound appropriate, and time will affirm that or disprove that.

Ol' Don Padgett! Great Guy. Had a lesson with him and can't suggest him enough! Awesome guy!

I wish I had learned to trust the process and patience as I grew and continue to grow in the sport. Also, I would have invested more time and money for a coach, to learn not only to be a good shooter but a good competitor. So many great points I agree 100% about the shells, I was guilty too.

Interesting change of shows. It brought out some thoughts of my own. I had punch fever, used shells that bruised my shoulder, listened too much to my friends and avoided larger events. A couple more of my own. Read clay books earlier. Check out KZfaq videos earlier. A comment on coaches. If I had a coach earlier I think by now I would have found a Level III. Difference in skill training. Thanks to all of you for your work for the sport.

Great topic, every thing you talked about are true, glad to have you in the conversation

Back in the late 90s. Remington decided to put their advertising dollars into Nascar. Their logic was sound, it's all about exposure to potential customers.Others followed and shooting sports have never recovered.

Unless and until you can get televised sporting clays competitions, with the type of cameras and expertise used in golf, there won't be big purses in clays. With shot tracking technology, super slow motion etc it is possible. But you can't have people pitching a fit, throwing shells and using profane language when they miss. There needs to be a code of conduct, a dress code, and some standardization in the flow of a tournament.

I heard the talk of the shoot-offs and stuff. My home club in Ione California has a special shoot-off 5-stand that has spectator seating, neon green targets that are easy to see and splash with color good when broken, and very tough targets with varying range and speeds (it’s on the side of the hill so the target setter gets really creative with terrain). Some of the shoots the club holds that use more than one of its 3 courses have a special Top Gun award where the top score of each course face off at the shoot-off 5 stand and the seats are always packed every time it’s quality entertainment

Christmas Miracle! Great idea Jason.

Regional championships should be tough .I hate soft targets i like a challenge thats why i shoot Fitasc i expect a challenge not a charity course. Plan your head for the bigger shoots . I shot the Fitasc at FSGC and did about 3 lighter than i wanted Finished 91In penelty class Master.Pick and chose the clubs you shoot. Great superscross motocross shout out Chad... 519873 .Great episode National Top 40 Pro am

As a C class shooter, I had a totally different experience than you guys are describing. I've been to tournaments that threw "unfair" targets with simple distance, speed, and light on "separator stations" that felt like luck and not skill. That was not my experience at SE Regionals. I feel like I had a shot at every target, I just didn't technically execute on it and missed (and I missed a lot). Most of the stations, I had a chance to learn from my mistakes and correct on the 3rd or 4th pair. I left knowing what i needed to work on to be a better shooter. That, to me, is far more valuable than a number on a score card. I've got a long way to go in this sport and I feel like this tournament helped me more than any other.

Excellent podcast gentlemen, nice putting faces to names, with great content. I agree one many of the points especially concerning the targets and coaches. I can't wait for the next one.

I went to the SE Regional. I am somehow in A class but realistically a B or C class shooter. I usually shoot 75ish percent at larger shoots. I shot 56 percent there. I am normally 20 targets below the pros, not 30 or 40. Some of the problem was the wind making some tough targets near impossible for someone like me. I enjoyed everything about the weekend except the targets. I have registered for two more regionals and the World Championship this year, but I am strongly considering cancelling those as I just may not be ready for that level of difficulty. If others with my skill level feel the same way, big shoot attendance will drop way off. That hurts the club, the sport and the shooter. I think part of the fun is to shoot the same targets as the pros and see how you measure up, but this was too much in my opinion. Let the big guys shoot a hundred straight and let the shoot-off be the separators and encourage spectators for those shoot-offs.

And if you can't shoot consistent high 90's. Don't go to the reginals or the open. Just stay where you can do it. Until you can compete and feel confident with this type of event.

I shoot consistent 70's. Im still learning. Still trying to improve. I'm poor, lol so I do what I can. But me and some guys shot at snake creek over the weekend in Oklahoma. They had 3 stands in a row. That were stupid hard. It kicked our butts. But even still I shot a 65. I was happy with that considering how hard those were. But in the end, it makes me and the guys I shoot with. Want to try harder, And try to get better. Of course I don't have that " I'm a bad ass in my own pond" ego or mentality. I always try to learn something from every time we shoot. All I can say about this is... do better!

Interesting discussion. I'm pretty new to this sport. I've shot pistol competitively for years (IDPA/USPSA) and they also have "classifications", but the shotgun stuff is relatively new. What always strikes me as odd is people getting excited for winning in a lower class. To me, I never cared where I finished in relation to anyone else but the guy that won the event (maybe the top 3-4). What am I missing? Also, if I choose to go to a big shoot, I expect to be humbled. What other sport can you go and play on the same exact course as the best in the world... on the same day... ? But... I also get people who don't want to go to a shoot where they can't hit anything. Maybe the marketing needs to be different... Maybe it needs to be sold as "see where you stack up against the best". Again... just some thoughts from a random newbie...

Excellent content, trying to decode many concerning topics, with various ideologies from different geographic expertise. However, we need to fully understand that target setting for "main event sporting clays courses", is primarily meant to be shot with a Multi Choked 12 Gauge Shotgun utilizing a maximum load of " 1 1/8 oz.". of 9 -7.5 shot. With the combination of the above, the Sporting Clays Shooter/Competitor, is almost always equipped to break a target consistently with his equipment of choice, from 10 yards out to a good 60 yards. Personally, I want to enjoy the performance of my over priced equipment to the fullest from 10 to 60 yards with out getting summonsed, or being down played by continuous cry- babies. Basically, I want to enjoy my Ferrari going 200 miles an hour, for 2 hours and burn every ounce of the fuel in my tank. If I don't like "far/difficult targets", then I need to consider shooting/competing in the sub gauge events. The level of difficulty or not, regarding Target Setting and Score Performance, varies primarily on a shooter's expertise, physical - mental ability, plus 100 other variables and quirks that are too many too list. We seem to forget that the " Score " is the end result not the process, where as, we are continuously being taught to focus on the " Process" and not the " End Result/Score". Sporting Clays is not a " Static Game" with specific target setting rules, such as Skeet and Trap. Even in Skeet and Especially in Trap, you will come across of the most unhappy, complaining, moaning and groaning competitive shooters, who nag about every little thing, that needs to be changed because it has screwed their scores. Travelling from State to State to compete in various events, it is a personal choice and has different meaning for every individual competitive shooter, regardless Classification and Event Type. We are not all the same, and we all come from different geographic backgrounds. Personally, I love travelling from the Northeast down South and shooting various events, regardless the level of target setting difficulty /score performance. Every club and every event has its own flavor and vibe. People are people and at the end of the day, people are always trying to to do the best they can, whether professional or not. Competitive Sporting Clays Shooting is a personal choice, period.

Land of the "free".
