Eric Harvey has been shooting since the young age of 8. His family owned a gun club growing up and that is where he found his love for shooting clay targets. He was on the PSCA and attends several if not all of the Winchester Championship Tour events every year. One of his goals was reached this year and that was making Team USA for 2022. He is a great guy, a great shooter and I was glad to have him on the show.
Will Fennell is a long-time sporting and FITASC shooter out of South Carolina. He owns and operates Fennell Shooting School with his wife, Elizabeth and they are also instructors at Kiawah Island Club in South Carolina. We discuss several different topics within the sporting community such as nationals, the big blasts of 2022, how to prepare for these and how to choose which ones to attend, and a lot more. Listen in to a great conversation, we hope you enjoy it.
Team Winchester, which included, Anthony Matarese Jr, Zach Kienbaum, Theo Ribbs, Eric Harvey, and Donny Ballard, sat down with me to discuss everything about the NSCA 2021 National Championship. The targets, the wind, the turnout, the differences in years past and so much more were brought up. We even discussed something that will eventually squad the top 40 shooters together at future National Championships to create an even playing field. Towards the end, we talked about Tom Mack and some of the funny moments we had around him and the jokes that he had to tell everyone.
Shelby Moon is 23 and from Loganville Georgia. She started shooting in high school with her local 4H club and now is one of the top competitors in the lady's division within the NSCA. You can bet that at any given tournament, her name will be towards the top of the leaderboard.
Kyle Millwood is a long-time shooter from Forsyth Georgia and grew up, worked, and still shoots at the Meadows Gun Club. He may be one of the hardest-working, most determined shooters that I have ever met. When he is not working with his family in the logging and chipping business of 100 years, he is working on his game. This is a passion of his and he is going to do what it takes to make sure he is at the top of the leaderboard every single time.
It has been almost a year since Tom has been on the show and a lot has changed with him. He is back to shooting a Perazzi, but hasn't had much time to shoot it. He has missed half of the year after having a terrible motorcycle accident in the spring of 2021. He tells the story of how this happened and what effects it has had on his shooting. He has now recovered and has his sights set on being better than ever.
USA’s Vincent Hancock waited nine years to notch up his third Olympic title, and he did so in style by setting a new Olympic record at Tokyo 2020 on 26 July.
The 32-year-old whooped with delight as he shot a 59 out of a possible 60 targets to beat Denmark’s Jesper Hansen into silver on 55. The result for Hancock made up for a disappointing 15th place in Rio 2016, which came after he won the event in Beijing 2008 and London 2012.
It had been a closely-fought contest at the Asaka Shooting Range on Day 3 of the Games, with the lead changing hands several times between Hancock and Henson, 40. The American, who is also a four-time world champion, managed to pull away in the last two rounds to win the contest.

David is a Shooter, a coach, and now a gun club owner in Arkansas at a brand new facility named Cypress Creek Shooting Lodge. In this episode, I talked to him about his stellar performance at the North Central Regional in 2021 at Game Unlimited, his "new" style of shooting, how it works, and what it's for. We also talked about how the pressure may be in the Olympics Vs. World FITASC and the stress that could be involved in both.
