Justin Barker is the original voice of clay target podcasting. In 2018, he launched the very first podcast dedicated exclusively to the clay target sports, creating a platform that gave shooters, champions, coaches, manufacturers, and industry leaders a place to share their stories long before podcasting became common in the shooting sports world.

Often referred to as “The Voice of the Sport,” Justin has become one of the most recognized and respected media personalities in clay target shooting. Through hundreds of in-depth interviews with Olympians, World Champions, Hall of Fame inductees, industry innovators, and everyday shooters, he has helped preserve the history of the sport while shining a spotlight on the people who continue to shape its future.

What began as a passion project has grown into one of the largest and most influential media platforms dedicated to clay target shooting. Today, Shotgun Sports USA reaches hundreds of thousands of shooters, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts through podcasts, video, social media, live events, and digital content. Its audience spans the United States and countries around the world, including places many of us had never heard of before seeing listeners tune in.

Shotgun Sports USA has also expanded beyond traditional podcasting by hosting live events with the NSCA and producing video podcast content with various people and companies. These collaborations have helped bring the sport closer to its audience, creating more opportunities for shooters and fans to hear directly from the people, brands, and organizations shaping clay target shooting.

Justin’s commitment to authentic storytelling, education, and growing the shooting sports community has earned him the trust and respect of shooters across the globe. More than a podcast host, he has become an ambassador for the sport, helping connect its past, present, and future—one conversation at a time.
