The Ultimate Sporting Clays Podcast
The Shotgun Sports USA Podcast is all about sharing the stories, insights, and personalities from the world of shotgun sports with shooters everywhere. Whether you’re just starting out and looking to hit your first 50 straight, a competitive NSCA shooter aiming for Master Class, a FITASC competitor, or just someone who loves hunting with friends, we’re here to help you improve your shooting skills while honoring the amazing people involved in these sports.
Since its debut in 2020, Shotgun Sports USA has quickly become a go-to podcast in the clay target community. We host discussions with World Champions, National Champions, Olympic athletes, instructors, target setters, club owners, manufacturers, and innovators from all corners of the shooting sports world. Our episodes cover everything from sporting clays to FITASC, trap, skeet, and hunting.
Learn From The Best in The Sport
One reason listeners continue coming back is the quality of our guests.
Throughout the years we’ve interviewed many of the biggest names in clay target sports, including world champions, national champions, elite instructors, respected target setters, and leaders from the outdoor industry.Â
Listeners hear about:
- Winning major championships
- Building confidence
- Reading difficult targets
- Developing consistent routines
- Managing pressure
- Choosing equipment
- Improving practice sessions
- Lessons learned through years of competition
These conversations give listeners access to knowledge that normally comes only from years of experience.
