In this episode, I have the 4x US Open Champion, Wendell Cherry, on with me. We discuss his season up to this point and he really dives into the way he coaches, the way you may be a good shooter, but when you miss, your mind gets in the way of being great. He talks about the US Open that was held in Arizona, the super squads and whether or not he likes them and a lot more.
In this episode we discuss the history of Castellani, how it became one of the most noticed brands in the shooting world, the craftsmanship and the jump into the US market. That's where Castellani USA and Ultimate Shooting Accessories comes in. With stellar sales throughout the United States since 2014, Tom Lotus created a business that supplied shooters everywhere with a name and a company they can trust. Tom handed the business over to Dan Creekmur in 2022 based on the same business model with treating customers like family and producing a product they can be proud of.

This week I talked to Zach Kienbaum and Rodney Disbrow about the upcoming season, what they have been doing and how they are preparing for the first shoot of the year. We had a good time with this and hope you enjoy the episode.
Zach talks to Anthony about how his family got into the business that they are in. They talk about shooting tournaments as teenagers and young adults and compare how they shoot today. Zach asks Anthony about his coaching business, his goals and how long he will continue to coach and a good bit more. They touch slightly on how he coaches people to watch the bird and a few other techniques. It's interesting to hear two shooters at this caliber carrying on a conversation.

This led into the meat of meat of the podcast as they discussed how their practice regimens, mindset, and managing preparation has changed as they both have taken on more responsibility and life in general has began to play a factor in their shooting.
