[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Something new that has just come out and I'm kind of interested in this because there's a lot of information to look at about shotgun shooting.

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I've got JoFineasy and Ty Crouch. So these are two guys from Texas A&M and they have come together with a passion for the sport and built something that's really cool.

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's called American Shotgunner. It's a website. We're going to get into that, how they got into this, what it's about and where they want to go with it.

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_03]: So guys, welcome to the show. Thank you, Justin. Appreciate having us on tonight. We're very excited looking forward to it.

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're very grateful for this opportunity.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. You know, Joe called me and he was telling me about this and I said, he told me to go look at it. And I had seen somebody follow me on Instagram called American Shotgunner.

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_01]: You know how it is when somebody follows you on Instagram? You're like, okay, I'll check them out later. Well, it's Joe.

[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_01]: And I said, well, you know, tell me about this. And he told me about it and it is crazy at the amount of data, real data that's in this website that tells you how you are doing and how you're progressing in the sport.

[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_01]: And you can see it for yourself and a bunch of other people and I mean we'll get into all that.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_01]: But so first off, Ty and Joe, tell me how this came about, how y'all met and all the way to where you are now.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Alrighty, I'll start. My name is Ty Crouch and I'll kind of, I'll start kind of a little bit about myself.

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_02]: So I was a competitive swimmer in high school and I was super into swimming and I realized, you know, I didn't want to do that in college.

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_02]: So the summer before college, I was at my dad's house and I went out with my uncle on a Wednesday night at our local club down in South Texas called Loma Alta.

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_02]: And I shot for the first time. I'd never really shot before and went back to Houston to where my mom lives and I figured, you know, wow, I really like this stuff.

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And I decided I want to get Clay shooting a shot. So I went back down to my dad's house and I took lessons all summer from this guy named Joe Paredes.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_02]: And awesome guy taught me how to shot very reasonable.

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And I told my mom, my mom was all into it. My mom said, well, A&M has a team.

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_02]: My mom said, you know, there's great people in that sport. You should try out for that team.

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe you can make it. You know, I'm not a great shot, you know, but got decent enough that I can make the team.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And I eventually met Joe and I can, I'll tell that story.

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So every year A&M does this class picture and they have the class year, you know, our class is 2025.

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_02]: So they took everybody out to Kyle Field and there had to be, you know, 15,000 of us or something.

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_02]: They make the numbers, you know, 2025 out of people.

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what graduating was. We were in this would have been the fall of 2021.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, we were in the class of 25 for graduating year four years later.

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And basically they flag out the numbers on the football field the day before class starts.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_03]: So I think if I'm not mistaken class for us A&M started, I think on like a Tuesday.

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_03]: So this would have been a Monday night or if it was on Monday, it would have been a Sunday night.

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_03]: And we all went out there and everybody's wearing maroon shirts.

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_03]: So that's our colored A&M. And, you know, we're all out there on the field and I'm kind of like looking around

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_03]: and I'm just kind of taking it in. I'm like, this is unbelievable.

[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_03]: There's 15 plus thousand students out here on the incoming class and I'm kind of looking all around

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_03]: and then this guy kind of makes eye contact with me and I had no idea who he was.

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll let Todd finish the story from here pretty fine.

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. So I kind of knew who Joe was. I'd like seen pictures and stuff, you know, get into shooting

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_02]: and I was standing there at Kyle Field and there was this kid over there.

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_02]: And he looked like Joe when you stand there with nine, you know, beautiful blonde girls.

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I was sitting there. I was like, man, I think that's Joe Feneze.

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to go up and say hi. So I walked up to him and I said, you shoot?

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And he was like, yeah. And then I met him and I thought, man, this must be some crazy sport.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Like he's got all these girls around him and, you know, eventually we had a meeting the next week for the team.

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And Joe kind of like took me under his wing and was nice to me for no reason.

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And we became real good friends. We went out to the first practice together and we kind of share the same mindset

[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_02]: and mentality about life and the things we want out of life.

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And we just became great friends.

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_03]: It was it was cool. And that's that's one of the things that I love so much about A&M is that whole first week, you know,

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_03]: A&M has a lot of in-state students from Texas and, you know, me being born and raised in a small town in Okeechobee, Florida.

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_03]: It was a big change for me to go from living in Florida to now moving out to Texas and starting a new chapter in my life

[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_03]: in a town that, you know, had 70,000 college students in it and just, you know, kind of making that transition.

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_03]: And what I realized about A&M is probably the best decision of my whole life because there's so many awesome students here.

[00:07:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Texas A&M is a special place to where even though it's so big, it has a small town atmosphere

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_03]: and it just has a lot to do with the culture and the traditions and the network that everybody buys into.

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_03]: And I've loved it so much over the last three or so plus years. Everybody that's been here would understand.

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_03]: And if you haven't, I recommend you come out to Aggie Land and see it for yourself.

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_03]: But I was asking Ty after the first time I met him real briefly out there on the field,

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I caught up with them about a week later at the first Trap and Skeet meeting we had

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_03]: and I was just trying to make small talks.

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_03]: So I was like, hey Ty, you know, tell me a little bit about yourself and where are you from

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_03]: and what are you studying? He told me he was studying engineering.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_03]: And I said, okay, that's awesome. Where are you living this year? You on campus, you off campus.

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_03]: That's one of the main questions that you always ask.

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's like, I'm actually living at an apartment complex in Northgate, the Northgate area.

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, oh really, that's cool to me too.

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_03]: And there's probably five or six apartments up there at this time.

[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, where are you living?

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's like, I'm living at the tradition.

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, oh no kidding.

[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_03]: That's where I'm at too, man.

[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_03]: That's pretty cool.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_03]: It was like you in the A or the M building.

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like, I'm in the A building.

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Like dude, that's awesome. Me too.

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_03]: What floor do you live on?

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like a little on the second floor.

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's exactly what floor I was living on too.

[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_03]: So it was just kind of meant to be and it was super cool.

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_03]: And like Ty said, we hit it off and started shooting together

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_03]: and got to know each other really well and just ultimately became friends.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_03]: So that's how we know each other.

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And now here three and a half, four years later, we've had a good time,

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_03]: you know, either going to sports games or going to shoot or, you know,

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_03]: anything like that.

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's been, it's been a cool couple of years going to know.

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Now Ty, where have you, where have you been?

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Have you been to nationals and what shoots have you gone to?

[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Man, I've been hardly any, to be honest with you.

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I've gone to, I've gone to national just to kind of look at

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_02]: like the Bender row and see how it all kind of works.

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And I've gone to Clayfest, which is that, you know, the NSC.

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_02]: But besides that, just little shoots, nothing major like Joe.

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Nothing crazy.

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it's, it's crazy to see the size of, you know, the competitions

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_01]: and how many people attend and how many people that are there

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_01]: that could use something like you've built.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, and Joe will give the credit.

[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_01]: He's the guy that's actually put it to where we can see it.

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was a great team effort because, you know,

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_03]: we brought different things to the table, but Ty, you know,

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_03]: is a very brilliant guy and, you know, he takes the credit for,

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_03]: you know, what you see today.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, he worked very hard and it was, it was a team effort,

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_03]: but Ty's just really smart and adds up to him.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we did it together without Joe's expertise

[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_02]: on shooting with what had never been possible.

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah.

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, team up.

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm talking about what I actually see on the computer

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_01]: because I know Joe didn't do that.

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I can't lie.

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how to do that.

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_01]: So tell me how this idea came about.

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_01]: How did you know you all have met each other?

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, you're hanging out two or three, four years later.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_01]: We've got American shotgun or how did it, how did this come about?

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Alrighty, so we have a buddy named Cliff and he came to us

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_02]: and he said, you know, I kind of want to do something

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_02]: in clay shooting to kind of progress the sport and kind of,

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, maybe a business or just something that,

[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_02]: to like a passion project, something that we can do.

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So we decided to pursue it and try to do something

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: and I came to Joe and I said, Joe, I came to them

[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_02]: and I said, you know, from swimming,

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_02]: we have these apps like Meet Mobile, college swimming

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_02]: and I go to a swimming, you know, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_02]: and I can get on there on Monday

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_02]: and I can look at how I swim against other people

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_02]: and I can see how our relay swim at my school

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_02]: against another school

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_02]: and I can see how my arch nemesis swim

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_02]: and, you know, see how he swam in Austin

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_02]: and where people are sneaking off

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_02]: and what they're doing and all this stuff

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_02]: and I said, there's nothing like this in clay shooting

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_02]: and I said, with swimming, I could look someone's name up

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_02]: and I could see, oh, this guy's number two in Texas

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_02]: or always number two in Louisiana

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_02]: or, you know, he's the number one projected pick

[00:11:15] [SPEAKER_02]: for swimming to go to college or, you know, for anything

[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_02]: and I told Joe and I said, Joe,

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how you legitimize clay shooting

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_02]: without having something that does that

[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_02]: without having, you know, the stats and everything online

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_02]: where you can go compare yourself

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_02]: and just see if you're getting better or not

[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_02]: because it's a very expensive game

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_02]: to go to all the tournaments

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_02]: to get the right instruction from great instructors

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_02]: to have the guns and to have everything

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_02]: you got to spend a tremendous amount of money

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_02]: and I told Joe, I said, there needs to be a way

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_02]: that people can get on online somewhere

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_02]: and be able to see am I getting better or not

[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_02]: is this worth, you know, pursuing

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_02]: or do I need to get instruction?

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_02]: What should I do?

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's how this started.

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Ty's exactly right

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_03]: and he made a really good point

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_03]: when he was talking about, you know,

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_03]: what it takes to be a clay shooter

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_03]: when you're committed either at a high level

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_03]: in competition and you travel the tour

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_03]: across the country and shoot all these big tournaments

[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_03]: or even if you're the recreational guy

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_03]: going out on the weekend

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_03]: when you really think about it

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, anytime I go out onto a sporting clays course

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I see so many amazing high caliber people, you know

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_03]: whether it be, you know, CEOs for big time companies

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_03]: or doctors or lawyers

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_03]: and even just a hard working guy

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_03]: that goes out on the weekend once or twice a month

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_03]: and when I think about it

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, man, this is awesome

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_03]: to kind of just see this sport

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_03]: and how passionate people are about it

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_03]: and how serious they take it.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, growing up at a club myself

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I can tell so many different stories

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_03]: about when someone would come

[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_03]: for the first time for like a fundraiser event, you know

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_03]: and they have a borrowed 1,100 shotgun

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_03]: and they're buying ammo

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_03]: and they have like those yellow safety glasses

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_03]: that you can get a home depot

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_03]: and they're like, man, this is fun

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I want to come back next week

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_03]: so then they come back

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_03]: and next thing you know

[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_03]: they buy their own gun

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_03]: and then they're getting, you know

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_03]: really expensive Pila eyewear

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_03]: then they have a buggy that they buy

[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_03]: then they upgrade to a new gun

[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_03]: then I see them in a tournament

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_03]: halfway across the country

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_03]: and next thing you know

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_03]: two, three years later

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_03]: they're just completely bought in

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_03]: and have honestly dedicated a big part

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_03]: of their life to it.

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_03]: So when you think about the common denominator

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_03]: of all those different types of people

[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_03]: being so passionate and you know

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_03]: involved with the game

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_03]: you would think that they would like

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_03]: to see where they're at

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_03]: and where they're going

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_03]: and how they can improve

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_03]: and now honestly

[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_03]: when Ty brought that up to me

[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_03]: from a different perspective

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_03]: of someone that's kind of coming into the sport

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I honored it

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_03]: and I thought it was super neat

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_03]: and Ty is certainly a big reason

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_03]: for my involvement with this platform

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_03]: you know if anybody

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_03]: if someone just came to me

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_03]: with the same exact idea

[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_03]: and I didn't know who they were

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_03]: you know I'd still be interested

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_03]: and listen

[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_03]: however I don't know

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_03]: if the excitement level would be at

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_03]: an all time high

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_03]: like it is for me right now

[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_03]: and I'm not saying this

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_03]: just because you know

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sitting right here with Ty

[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_03]: or he's one of my best friends

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_03]: but you know Ty's an incredibly

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_03]: talented individual

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_03]: he's very passionate

[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_03]: and he's someone that I can relate to

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_03]: and those are the types of people

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_03]: that I want to work with

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_03]: you know those are the types of people

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_03]: that I want to surround myself with

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_03]: so when Ty extended this opportunity

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_03]: to be a part of American Shotgunner

[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_03]: you know I couldn't say no

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_03]: and it's been a fun process

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_03]: you know working to where we are now

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_01]: talk about how you

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_01]: how you too

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I know you had to get together

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_01]: put your heads together

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_01]: talk about what you wanted to have in this

[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_01]: this project

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_01]: and then building it

[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_01]: the building part

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Joe is

[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_01]: you know I'm kind of a nerd

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_01]: when it comes to technology

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_01]: the building part of it

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_01]: is what amazes me

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_01]: that Ty did all this

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_01]: like he did

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean it's just

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_01]: it's crazy

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_01]: talk about

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_01]: what you did

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_01]: to gather your thoughts up

[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_01]: and then how did you get it

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_01]: to where we can see it

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean how long did this take

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_01]: what did you do

[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_01]: you know

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_01]: tell me that process

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_02]: so first we just kind of brainstorm

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_02]: what we were going to do

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_02]: and we kind of identified some things

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_02]: we wanted to do

[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_02]: and then it was just

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_02]: it was go time

[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_02]: you know we spent a lot of days

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_02]: going to Evans library

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_02]: here on campus at A&M

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_02]: great spot

[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_02]: and a lot of Red Bulls

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_02]: a lot of energy drinks

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_02]: a lot of late nights

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_02]: it just honestly

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Joe lives this like

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_02]: insane life with a crazy schedule

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_02]: you know doing school

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_02]: going to all these big shoots

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_02]: and you know practicing

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_02]: giving lessons

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_02]: all this crazy stuff

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_02]: that like

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_02]: to find time together

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_02]: that we could

[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_02]: we could get together

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_02]: and work on this

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_02]: like the project

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_02]: took a lot longer

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_02]: a lot of sacrifices had to be made

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah a lot of sacrifices

[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_02]: but it took a lot longer

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_02]: than it would have

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_02]: for anything else

[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_02]: because just to

[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_02]: just to get the time together

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_02]: was you know invaluable

[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_02]: and it took a lot of night

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_02]: to stand up until

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_02]: you know two in the morning

[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_02]: working on this

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah for sure

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_03]: and Ty's exactly right

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_03]: it was a lot of hard work

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_03]: but it really comes down to

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_03]: you know the people that are involved

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_03]: and you know a friend

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Cliff did a lot

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_03]: and you know

[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_03]: he helped a lot along the way

[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_03]: and the reason we had

[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_03]: such a good team

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_03]: is because we balanced

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_03]: each other out so well

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_03]: so you know everybody has their

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_03]: strong suits

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_03]: and their skills

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_03]: and their talents

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_03]: and their natural fortes

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_03]: you know Ty's like

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I know how to do this stuff

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_03]: and Ty's very smart

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_03]: he knows how to build

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_03]: what you guys will see

[00:16:39] [SPEAKER_03]: when you visit the website

[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_03]: and he knows how to work

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_03]: computers really well

[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_03]: and do that kind of stuff

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_03]: but he might have not had

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_03]: the experience that I brought

[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_03]: to the table from being

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_03]: involved in the sport

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_03]: my whole life

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_03]: now and you know

[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_03]: contrary to that

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_03]: a couple years ago

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_03]: it would be embarrassing

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_03]: if you knew what I could do

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_03]: on a computer

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_03]: it's hardly anything

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_03]: right like I'm

[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm kind of

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_03]: not great with the computer

[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not the most tech savvy

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_03]: person so

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_03]: doing what we came to

[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_03]: now as a final product

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_03]: would have been

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_03]: not even a dream for me

[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_03]: there's no way I could do any of that

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_03]: so

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_03]: when we teamed up

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_03]: you know I told Ty

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_03]: maybe from shooters in my point of view

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_03]: from my perspective

[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I could explain

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_03]: what people might want to see

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_03]: where their interests are

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_03]: what might cater to them

[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_03]: to help them benefit

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_03]: and improve

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_03]: and see what's going on

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_03]: and then Ty

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_03]: was able to build that

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_03]: so without each other

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_03]: you know we would have

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_03]: not came to a final product

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's really what

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_03]: allowed this to kind of come to fruition

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_03]: was great teamwork

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_03]: and like I said you know

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Ty was able to do a lot of things

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_03]: that I couldn't

[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_03]: and I could share certain things with him

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_03]: that he might have not known

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_03]: at that time

[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_03]: and now

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_03]: the final product

[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_03]: is what you see

[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_03]: and we're very proud of it

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_03]: we're very excited

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_03]: and the best is yet to come

[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_01]: so we're going to talk about it now

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_01]: it's a website

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_01]: right it's a website

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_01]: AmericanShotGunner.com

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I was just thinking

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_01]: it's kind of like

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Clay shooting meeting ESPN

[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_01]: you know what I'm saying

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_01]: you can go

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_01]: you can go dive into

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_01]: all these teams on ESPN

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_01]: and see the stats

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_01]: and see who they're going to play

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_01]: and how they've been playing

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_01]: and etc etc

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_01]: okay so

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_01]: this is like that

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_01]: with shotgun shooting

[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_01]: you can see stats

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even know

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_01]: you

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know all this stuff

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_01]: existed about myself

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_01]: like

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_01]: you know I could see

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_01]: how bad I did

[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_01]: or good I did

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_01]: at the last shoot

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I went to

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_01]: and it was on this website

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_01]: fairly quick

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean it's

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_01]: you know it's

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_01]: it's pretty cool to see

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_01]: all of the stats

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_01]: and data

[00:18:39] [SPEAKER_01]: about yourself

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_01]: and about other people

[00:18:41] [SPEAKER_01]: and how you can

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_01]: you know if you've got buddies

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure that

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Joe you can go in there

[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_01]: and you and Ty

[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_01]: can probably say alright

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_01]: well I mean

[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure that Joe's

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_01]: going to do better than Ty

[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_01]: but you can be like

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_01]: hey we shot this

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_01]: and I shot a

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_01]: 97 and you shot a

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_01]: 85 and this is the

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_01]: station that you did

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_01]: bowed on

[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_01]: am I right when I say that

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah yeah

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_03]: we're anybody

[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_03]: else

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_03]: if you're sitting around

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_03]: with your buddies

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_03]: on a Friday evening

[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_03]: you're just having small talk

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_03]: about clay shooting

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_03]: you know

[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_03]: sitting at the back

[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_03]: of your tailgates

[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_03]: after you went

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_03]: and shot league

[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_03]: or something like that

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_03]: and you might be

[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_03]: sitting around

[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_03]: talking about

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_03]: some of the top guys

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_03]: in this sport

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_03]: you can say man

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_03]: you know at the end

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_03]: of the day

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_03]: who do you guys

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_03]: think is better

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_03]: if you had to pick

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_03]: and I'll just

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_03]: say names

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_03]: you know

[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_03]: you think it's

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Anthony Maderie

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_03]: or you think

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_03]: it's Zach Keenbaum

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_03]: or you think it's

[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_03]: a lot of percentages

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_03]: and I can explain that

[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_03]: much better than I can

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_03]: but before

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_03]: all you could see

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_03]: is scores

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_03]: and just kind of go off

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_03]: of what your opinions

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_03]: was

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_03]: opinion was

[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_03]: off

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_03]: of their previous

[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_03]: performances

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_03]: but now

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_03]: you can actually

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_03]: kind of see it

[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_03]: firsthand

[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_03]: and use the comparisons

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_03]: and see the charts

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_03]: and that kind

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_03]: of stuff

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_03]: which is something

[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_03]: our sports never seen

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_03]: it's very cool

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah what's interesting

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_02]: about this game

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_02]: is like

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_02]: you know

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_02]: in track

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_02]: or swimming

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_02]: sports like that

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_02]: you have a time

[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_02]: and so

[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I go to a swimming

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_02]: and I swim

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_02]: a you know

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_02]: a minute

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_02]: and I go to the next one

[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_02]: and I swim with 59

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I know that I got better

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_02]: in this game

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_02]: you know it's

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_02]: it's based off of

[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_02]: every course is different

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_02]: you never shoot a course

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_02]: it's the same

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_02]: so

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_02]: there's no way to

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_02]: you know

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_02]: how you really did

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_02]: unless you're winning

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_02]: all the time

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_02]: or winning your class

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_02]: so you can get on here

[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_02]: and you can see

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_02]: oh man

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I got

[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_02]: 1.5%

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_02]: and better

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_02]: oh wow I shot 5%

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_02]: better

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I shot 10%

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_02]: better than I normally do

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_02]: and you can kind of see that stuff

[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_02]: you can go to a shoot

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_02]: and think oh man

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't do that well

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_02]: and you're like

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_02]: in relationship

[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah in relationship

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_02]: to the HOA

[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_02]: so everything

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_02]: this is kind of something

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_02]: on the A&M team here

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_02]: they do for tryouts

[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_02]: they

[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_02]: everyone scores

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_02]: the way that

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_02]: they determine a score

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_02]: is they do

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_02]: your score divided

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_02]: by the winning score

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_02]: so that's like

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_02]: a rationalized average

[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_02]: so

[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_02]: a normalized average

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_02]: actually

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_02]: so that's how they do that

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_02]: so like

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_02]: you know

[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Joe shoots 100

[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and I shoot a 99

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_02]: it's 99 divided by 100

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_02]: so

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_03]: that's kind of

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_03]: your percentage will show as

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_03]: when you go on to the website

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_03]: and

[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_03]: you look up your name

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_03]: you can see

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_03]: the overall yearly

[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_03]: progression sporting

[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_03]: you can go

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_03]: year by year

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_03]: and see

[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_03]: where you were

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_03]: in relationship to HOA

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_03]: for those events

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_03]: and we

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_03]: you know have it

[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_03]: for sporting clays

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_03]: fee tasks

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_03]: five stand

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_03]: and super sporting

[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_03]: so it's super neat

[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_03]: it's a really cool

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_03]: cool tool

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_01]: talk about the graphs

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_01]: you've got these

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_01]: all these stats broken down

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_01]: into graphs

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I log in

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I create an account

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_01]: everybody needs to go on

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_01]: and create an account

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_01]: takes two seconds

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_01]: and you can get in

[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_01]: that's how you get to see other people

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_01]: completely free too

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah don't cost anything

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_01]: thank you

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_01]: so you can go in here

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_01]: and search a shooter

[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_01]: search yourself

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_01]: whatever that is

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and talk about these graphs

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_01]: that pop up

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_01]: there's how many is on this page

[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_01]: that I'm looking at

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_01]: there's what

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_01]: eight or ten

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_01]: there's nine graphs

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_01]: so let me

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll kind of start

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_02]: so

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_02]: at the top of that page

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_02]: when you search someone up

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_02]: and you can search anybody

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_02]: you want yourself

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_02]: or anyone

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_02]: there's a little box

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_02]: and it says tournaments

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_02]: and it has

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: your most recent tournament

[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_02]: and you can scroll through

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_02]: any tournament

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_02]: you've shot pretty much

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_02]: and you can click on those

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_02]: and it'll show you the

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_02]: events within that tournament

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_02]: that you competed in

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_02]: it'll show you your score

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_02]: your average

[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_02]: and then your

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_02]: change improvement

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_02]: how much you got better

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_02]: or worse

[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_02]: in that event

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_02]: but you can click on

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_02]: any of those events

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_02]: within any shoot

[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_02]: and you can see

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_02]: a scatterplot

[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_02]: and you can see everyone else's

[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_02]: scores

[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_02]: but what's really interesting

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_02]: about that is

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_02]: you can

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_02]: view

[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_02]: you in comparison to your class

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_02]: so you can see

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_02]: on a graph

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_02]: you can see

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_02]: how you compared to everyone

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_02]: in your class

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_02]: that shot that

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_02]: which I think is really important

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_02]: because

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_02]: most of us that are shooting

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_02]: this art Joe

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_02]: that's in master class

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_02]: that's

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_02]: you know professional level shooter

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_02]: where

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_02]: we're trying to win

[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_02]: D class C class B class A class

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_02]: you know

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_02]: and I can go in there

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and I can see

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_02]: oh wow how did I do

[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_02]: in comparison to people

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_02]: in my class

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_02]: so that's the first thing

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_02]: the other thing we have

[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_02]: is we have event progression

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_02]: by year

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_02]: so we have another chart

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_02]: where you can see

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_02]: you know if I pick

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_02]: sporting 2024

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I can see every sporting event

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I shot over the year in 2024

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_02]: and I can see

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_02]: how I shot

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_02]: so I can see

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_02]: you know sometimes peaks and valleys

[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I can go

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_02]: oh man this night

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_02]: before this shoot

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't get a whole lot of sleep

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_02]: and you know

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_02]: so I didn't shoot that well

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I can kind of see how things

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_02]: affect my shooting

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_02]: and I can see

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_02]: you know how my year is

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_02]: and I can do that

[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_02]: for any year

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_02]: for any event

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_02]: and then we have charts

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_02]: that are you know

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_02]: yearly progression

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_02]: so I can go in

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I can look at my sporting

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_02]: or fee tasks

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_02]: or five standard

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_02]: or super sporting

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_02]: and I can see

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_02]: 2012 1314

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_02]: and so on

[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_02]: and I can see

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_02]: you know my progression

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_02]: over time

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_02]: on a yearly basis

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_02]: of how I got better

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_02]: and I can actually

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_02]: enter anyone's name

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_02]: in the sport

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_02]: and I can compare myself to them

[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_02]: and see you know

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_02]: how I rank up

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_03]: they'll show up in the green line

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_03]: so when you look up

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_03]: your profile

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_03]: or the original profile

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_03]: that you search in

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_03]: under shooter search

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_03]: all the lines will show up in blue

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_03]: but when you want to

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_03]: compare yourself

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_03]: against anybody else

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_03]: of your choice

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_03]: they'll show up in green

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_03]: and it's super neat

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean you can compare yourself

[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_03]: against people that

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_03]: you try to gauge yourself

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_03]: around like man

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_03]: I think that's a guy

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_03]: that I'm normally in his ballpark

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_03]: let me see how I line up

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_03]: against him

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_03]: or you know

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_03]: who cares

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_03]: let's just pick Brandon Powell

[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_03]: and see how good

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm shooting against Brandon Powell

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_03]: and see by how many percentage

[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_03]: you know

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_03]: how much he's beating me by

[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_03]: on a yearly basis

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_03]: and that kind of stuff

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_03]: so it's super, super neat

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_03]: it's a really cool tool

[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_03]: now some people will go in

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_03]: and see substantial growth

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_03]: over time

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_03]: which is super awesome

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_03]: and encouraging

[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_03]: you know I'm not going to lie

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_03]: there's going to be

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_03]: a couple people that

[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_03]: maybe go on here

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_03]: and see that their graph

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_03]: unfortunately at times

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_03]: might have gone down a little bit

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_03]: but that's not a negative thing

[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_03]: it's not something to be discouraged about

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_03]: it's you know

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_03]: certainly just something

[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_03]: to really encourage you

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_03]: and motivate you

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_03]: and want to drive you to

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_03]: get better

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_03]: and get that graph

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_03]: and get that percentage back up

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_03]: you know so

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_03]: it's just really neat

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_03]: to be able to see

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_03]: where you're at

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_03]: what you're doing

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_03]: and more importantly

[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_03]: where you want to go

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah there are

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_01]: explanations of the charts

[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_01]: like if you get on here

[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and you want to look at a chart

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_01]: you know what does this mean

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_01]: all you have to do is click

[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_01]: you know information about the chart

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_01]: it tells you what it does

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_01]: so

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that my favorites down here

[00:25:15] [SPEAKER_01]: at the bottom

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_01]: the yearly event comparison

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_01]: lifetime event comparison

[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah that's super awesome

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_01]: yes

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_03]: so the

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_03]: this is displayed in the diamond graph

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_03]: you'll see it in red

[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_03]: when you go on the website

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_03]: so

[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_03]: the way this came about is a lot of times

[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_03]: you know I'll be out on the course

[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_03]: or you know I'll be

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_03]: giving a lesson

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_03]: or somebody calls me on the phone

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_03]: and they're just like

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_03]: man Joe I don't know man

[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I've been struggling here with sporting clays

[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_03]: my sporting clays

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_03]: game feels

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_03]: like it's off

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_03]: but it's so weird

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_03]: next thing you know

[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll go over to the super sporting course

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_03]: and you know I'll shoot a 93

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_03]: and then

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll go over to the 5 stand

[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll shoot a 92

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_03]: but my super sporting stays

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_03]: in the low 80s

[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_03]: high 70s

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I think I compete better

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_03]: in that event

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_03]: and maybe has to do something

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_03]: with my mental game

[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_03]: or you know the format

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_03]: of the menu of the targets

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_03]: or whatever

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_03]: but there's really no way of telling

[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_03]: until now

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_03]: so now you can go on and see

[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_03]: okay

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_03]: in sporting clays

[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_03]: overall for all sporting clay events

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_03]: you know I'm looking at

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_03]: a 94% average for myself

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just saying

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_03]: for anybody that might go on there

[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_03]: but then

[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_03]: who knows

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_03]: maybe they're struggling a little bit

[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_03]: with feet tasks

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_03]: you can't figure your amount out

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_03]: your scores are lower

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_03]: your feet task is down to 87

[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_03]: then next thing you know

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_03]: your 5 stand is

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_03]: 81

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_03]: and your super sporting

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_03]: might be 85

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_03]: so you kind of get an idea

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_03]: of what am I shooting better in

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_03]: what am I shooting worse in

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_03]: and just kind of understand

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_03]: how all the disciplines

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_03]: and events are different

[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_03]: now you can figure out

[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_03]: where your best

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_03]: where you're struggling

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_03]: and where you can get better

[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_03]: and you can see

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_03]: your entire lifetime

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_03]: comparison

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_03]: or just a year by year

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_03]: so it's super cool

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I really really like that

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_03]: diamond graph at the bottom

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_03]: some people are very consistent

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I think if I'm not mistaken

[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Justin I was looking at yours

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_03]: and you're pretty consistent

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_03]: right in the same wheelhouse

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_03]: over just a couple percentage points

[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_03]: some people

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_03]: it's more peaks and valleys

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_03]: where it varies quite a bit

[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_03]: but it's really really cool

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and we're very excited

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_03]: about that

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_03]: along with so many other things

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_03]: on the website

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_01]: you know this is pretty neat

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know that I have

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_01]: been to 85 tournaments

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I would have never known that

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_01]: you know what I'm saying

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_01]: that's something so simple

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_01]: but something that I had no idea of

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_01]: it's all in here

[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah it's interesting

[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_02]: you know you can go and see

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_02]: how many targets someone shot

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_02]: and there's

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_02]: you can't hide you know

[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_02]: to be honest

[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_02]: but what's cool

[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_02]: is like we're looking at your page right now

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_02]: what's interesting is like

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_02]: you can go okay

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_02]: in 2020 he shot this

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_02]: and you know

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_02]: he shot five tournaments

[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_02]: but what's cool is

[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_02]: you can see

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_02]: sometimes you have outliers

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_02]: where they shot 99% in the year

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_02]: and you're thinking man

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_02]: how'd they do that

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_02]: but they went to one tournament

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_02]: so the reason we show those statistics

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_02]: is so you can go

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_02]: oh wow you know he shot 91%

[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_02]: but that's across 20 tournaments

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_02]: more an accurate gauge

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_02]: just kind of to gauge it

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_02]: because with these things

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_02]: you know someone might get lucky

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_02]: and shoot really well at one tournament

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_02]: but you know if there's

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_02]: a lot of tournaments that factor

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_02]: and then it's a better average

[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_02]: so that's why that's there

[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Joe why don't you go look

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_01]: at my fee task

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I've shot a lot of that haven't I

[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_01]: let's do it in

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking at it

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_03]: hey well I'm looking

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm seeing a lot of progress Justin

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_03]: so that's all there's

[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_01]: there's a lot of progress

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_01]: well not a lot of shoots

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's alright

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's why I was just explaining

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_03]: when you go down

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_03]: you can see a chart with the X and Y axis

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_03]: you know with red bars

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_03]: that show you how many targets

[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_03]: you shot in relationship

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_03]: to your percentage

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_03]: for those disciplines

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_03]: but you're right

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_03]: that is pretty funny Justin

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I see what you're looking at there

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_03]: on the fee test

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I think I've shot three times

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_01]: in fee test

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_01]: is that right

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_01]: four

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_01]: let's see

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_03]: it's not a whole

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_03]: it's not a lot

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_03]: that's just started in 2017

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_03]: it's pretty awesome

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_03]: you've come a long ways to adjust

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_03]: and I'm trying to think

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_03]: from the first time

[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I ever really met you

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_03]: would have been

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I think back in 2018

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_03]: we shot the Night Stalker

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_03]: shoot together in Georgia

[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_03]: and that was a fun time

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_03]: but you've come a long way

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_03]: obviously with your shooting

[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_03]: and of course

[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_03]: you know with the podcast

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_03]: and everything you've done

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_03]: you've helped the sport grow

[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_03]: you know it's been

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_03]: a very positive thing

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_03]: that you've done

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_03]: in sporting-glaze shooting

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_03]: since your involvement

[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_03]: we're just excited man

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_03]: we're excited to be on here

[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_03]: with this college team today

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_03]: and excited to be talking about this

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_03]: and looking forward to talking about

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_03]: some more cool things on the site

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah so

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_01]: alright let's move on

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_01]: so we got the stats covered

[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_01]: okay if you want to know

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_01]: anything about yourself

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_01]: or anybody else

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_01]: go look at the stats

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_01]: okay they're there

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_01]: everything's there

[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_01]: the next thing that I've

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_01]: actually

[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I think this is the first thing

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_01]: that I saw

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_01]: one of the first time

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I looked at this

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I was like this is

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_01]: this is amazing

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_01]: that somebody did this

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_01]: college recruiting

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_01]: okay

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_01]: you can go in here

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll let you talk about this

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_01]: in a second

[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_01]: but you can go in here

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_01]: and add yourself

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_01]: and colleges actually

[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_01]: will go in here

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_01]: and look for people

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_01]: that they may need on their team

[00:30:14] [SPEAKER_01]: is that right

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah I'm going to let

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Joe take this over

[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_02]: because this is

[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_02]: 100% has idea

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_02]: but yeah

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_02]: the college recruiting

[00:30:22] [SPEAKER_03]: page is something

[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_03]: that's very neat

[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_03]: it's very cool

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_03]: and it's something

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_03]: that I'm very passionate about

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_03]: because I'm a college kid

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_03]: and very recently

[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_03]: I just went through this process

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_03]: and I'm somebody that

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_03]: loves to keep up with sports

[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I love football

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_03]: baseball

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_03]: basketball

[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_03]: and even on a

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_03]: different level

[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_03]: sports like golf

[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_03]: and tennis

[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_03]: and a lot of these

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_03]: individual sports

[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_03]: that relate to our game

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_03]: a little more

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_03]: there's a lot of opportunities

[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_03]: for you shooters

[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_03]: that are very passionate

[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_03]: and going through high school

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_03]: and wanting to take

[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_03]: their talents

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_03]: to the next level

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_03]: so I've heard

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_03]: a stat over the last

[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_03]: couple of years

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_03]: and I think

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm right about this

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_03]: but sporting

[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_03]: just clay target shooting

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_03]: in general

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_03]: is the fastest growing sport

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_03]: in America

[00:31:07] [SPEAKER_03]: so when you really think

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_03]: about that

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_03]: if it's a fastest growing

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_03]: sport across the spectrum

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_03]: with all youth

[00:31:13] [SPEAKER_03]: shooters

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_03]: you would think

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_03]: there would be

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_03]: maybe a couple more things

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_03]: to kind of help benefit them

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's just

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_03]: kind of where this idea started

[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_03]: so I told Ty

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_03]: you have so many

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_03]: these kids that

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_03]: used to play football

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_03]: used to play basketball

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_03]: used to run track

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_03]: and now they decided

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_03]: clay shooting is their thing

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_03]: and they've committed

[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_03]: their life to clay shooting

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_03]: their parents have supported them

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_03]: every step of the way

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_03]: they're going to tournaments

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_03]: they're spending money

[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_03]: on new guns

[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_03]: new shells

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_03]: all kinds of equipment

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_03]: and it's a big part

[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_03]: of their life

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_03]: and now they want to

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_03]: continue doing that in college

[00:31:44] [SPEAKER_03]: and there's a lot of great

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_03]: opportunities to shoot

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_03]: in college

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_03]: and receive scholarships

[00:31:48] [SPEAKER_03]: and make some

[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_03]: of the best memories

[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_03]: you could ever ask for

[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_03]: on a team

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_03]: and there's so many great

[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_03]: shooting teams across the

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_03]: country

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_03]: but there's not really

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_03]: a lot that's established

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_03]: or structured

[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_03]: to kind of help those kids

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_03]: either put themselves out

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_03]: there

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_03]: or get in contact

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_03]: with these great universities

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_03]: that could eventually

[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_03]: change their life

[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_03]: when you really think about it

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_03]: so I told Ty

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_03]: let's try

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and put something together

[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_03]: of course he's the one

[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_03]: that did it

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_03]: like I said

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_03]: there's no way

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I could ever do

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_03]: something like this

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_03]: myself

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_03]: but let's

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_03]: have something on the

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_03]: website that allows

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_03]: you to create a profile

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_03]: after you make an account

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_03]: and this is all

[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_03]: completely free by the way

[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_03]: and you go in

[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_03]: and you can just kind of

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_03]: put some information

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_03]: about yourself

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_03]: you can

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_03]: go in

[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_03]: and of course

[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_03]: put your name

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_03]: your class year

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_03]: that you graduate high school

[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_03]: which high school

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_03]: you went to

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_03]: and if you

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_03]: if you're home school

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_03]: that's awesome too

[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_03]: you can put that in there

[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_03]: just a little bit about

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_03]: yourself

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_03]: your background

[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_03]: your interests

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_03]: and then of course

[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_03]: your awards

[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_03]: and accolades

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_03]: and accomplishments

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_03]: in clay target shooting

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_03]: maybe what disciplines

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_03]: you like to shoot

[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_03]: some people like trap

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_03]: some people like ski

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_03]: some are sporting plays

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_03]: some are a little bit of everything

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_03]: and then really most importantly

[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_03]: at the end

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_03]: you can talk about

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_03]: what you're looking for

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_03]: and a collegiate shooting experience

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_03]: so you can go in there

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_03]: and say

[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_03]: hey I'm looking for a school

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_03]: that's going to offer a scholarship

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_03]: and offer me

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_03]: a great opportunity

[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_03]: to be on a team

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_03]: that's very competitive

[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and serious

[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_03]: or we have the opportunity

[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_03]: to practice

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_03]: XYZ

[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_03]: so on and so forth

[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_03]: so that's just really cool

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_03]: you can go in of course

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_03]: put a couple pictures

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_03]: of yourself

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_03]: of your shooting

[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_03]: with awards

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_03]: and that kind of thing

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_03]: and over the course

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_03]: the next couple of months

[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_03]: we're looking forward

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_03]: to collaborating

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_03]: with a lot of the top

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_03]: shooting universities

[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_03]: across the country

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_03]: and their coaches

[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_03]: and recruiters

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_03]: to get on this site

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_03]: and reach out

[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_03]: to the young kids

[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_03]: and the talent

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_03]: that exists out there

[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_03]: in the country

[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_03]: because that's what they deserve

[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_03]: you know these kids

[00:33:39] [SPEAKER_03]: love this game

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I love this game

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_03]: and I feel like

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_03]: this is a great door

[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_03]: opening opportunity

[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_03]: that people should be

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_03]: very excited to jump on

[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_03]: because it could

[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_03]: it could really set

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_03]: them up to take their talents

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_03]: to the next level

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_03]: for the next

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_03]: four years of college

[00:33:52] [SPEAKER_03]: so that's kind of how

[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_01]: that came about

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_01]: now let me ask you a question

[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_01]: say you've got

[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_01]: you know and again

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_01]: this is new

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_01]: we're talking about this

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_01]: we're telling everybody

[00:34:01] [SPEAKER_01]: about this

[00:34:01] [SPEAKER_01]: this is a brand new site

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_01]: so when you get on here

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and you're

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_01]: you want to go to college

[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_01]: and shoot

[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_01]: make sure you put

[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_01]: your information in here

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_01]: absolutely

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_01]: you know

[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_01]: have you

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_01]: so say

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_01]: say I've got a person

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_01]: on here

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_01]: that wants to

[00:34:15] [SPEAKER_01]: to shoot in college

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_01]: do you have any way

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_01]: that we'll be able to tell

[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_01]: if they actually go

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_01]: and do it

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah so

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_02]: eventually

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_02]: if they commit somewhere

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_02]: or however it works

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_02]: for them

[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_02]: they can tell us

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_02]: hey I'm going to shoot

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_02]: on the club team

[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_02]: with this school

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_02]: or this school

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I've been a scholarship

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to shoot

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_02]: ACUI

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_02]: whatever the case is

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_02]: if they just

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_02]: reach out to us

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_02]: and they tell us

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_02]: who they've committed to

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_02]: we have a spot on there

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_02]: where we have a little picture

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_02]: where we'll put

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_02]: the emblem of the school

[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_02]: so you can see

[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_02]: you know

[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_02]: 2029 commitment

[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_02]: you know

[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_02]: John Doe

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_02]: with the school that they're going to

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_02]: so that

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_02]: it will be really cool

[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_02]: to come back

[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_02]: and go to look you know

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_02]: so and so went here

[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_01]: right

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_01]: and that would work

[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I you know

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_01]: that would work for

[00:34:58] [SPEAKER_01]: say Joe

[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_01]: and I were buddies

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_01]: going to school

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_01]: wanting to go to college

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_01]: and shooting

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_01]: we didn't know

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_01]: we were on each

[00:35:04] [SPEAKER_01]: on each other's

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_01]: you know

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_01]: on this page

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and I was going to A&M

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_01]: and he was going to

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_01]: you know

[00:35:09] [SPEAKER_01]: wherever

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_01]: that could be

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_01]: hey Joe

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_01]: let's me and you

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_01]: go to school together

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_01]: over at A&M

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_01]: we get on the team

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean it's all kind of

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_01]: different stuff

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_01]: that could work out with that

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_01]: that's

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_01]: for sure

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_01]: this is nowhere

[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_01]: but here

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_03]: exactly

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_03]: and honestly

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_03]: it was something

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_03]: that was needed

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_03]: it was time

[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_03]: our sport needed this

[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_03]: the kids needed it

[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_03]: and I think it's going to be

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_03]: you know

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_03]: a great platform

[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_03]: even for the universities

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_03]: everybody wins

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_03]: you know

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_03]: on this college recruiting

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_03]: page

[00:35:36] [SPEAKER_03]: we think everybody

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_03]: should go

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_03]: and get signed up

[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_03]: it's just going to

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_03]: be a door opener

[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_03]: there's going to be

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_03]: a lot of opportunities

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_03]: and we're just ecstatic

[00:35:44] [SPEAKER_03]: ecstatic to see it take off

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah

[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_02]: like right now

[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_02]: we have a list of

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_02]: college shooting programs

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_02]: on here

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_02]: but eventually we're going to

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_02]: have a place where

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_02]: every school

[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_02]: you know

[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Texas A&M

[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Shriner

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_02]: you know

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_02]: a million different schools

[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_02]: can go on there

[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_02]: they can put a little

[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_02]: about them

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_02]: a little section

[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_02]: with pictures

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_02]: and how their team

[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_02]: operates

[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_02]: and the people that are

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_02]: on their team

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_02]: and they can also

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_02]: write about scholarship

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_02]: opportunities

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_02]: and things like that

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_02]: so kids can get on the website

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_02]: and you know

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_02]: see what's out there

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_01]: that's neat

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_01]: that's

[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I like going to this page

[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_01]: as much as I do any of them

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_01]: to see who's signed up for it

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_01]: the forums page

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_01]: this is something else

[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_01]: that

[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't see a whole lot of

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_01]: we've got a couple of forums

[00:36:24] [SPEAKER_01]: that are out there

[00:36:24] [SPEAKER_01]: that everybody's tired

[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_01]: of looking at

[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_01]: so you've got

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_01]: a new forum page

[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_01]: and everybody knows

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_01]: what forums are

[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_01]: you go in

[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_01]: and you could discuss topics

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_01]: right

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_01]: so

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_01]: what is your goal

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_01]: with forums

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_01]: is it for

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_01]: anything

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_01]: is it for classifies

[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_01]: is it for questions

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_01]: what is it for

[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_01]: what do you want it to be for

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_01]: so

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_02]: it's not for classifies

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_02]: it's for

[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_02]: just about anything

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_02]: you know

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_02]: if you want to talk about

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_02]: you know

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_02]: we're all kind of a

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_02]: like-minded community

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and we like

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_02]: generally the same stuff

[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_02]: so if you want to talk

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_02]: about play shooting

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_02]: general stuff

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_02]: anything

[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_02]: but what we

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_02]: offer that Facebook

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_02]: does it

[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_02]: and Facebook's amazing

[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_02]: is

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_02]: we offer a way

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_02]: you know

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_02]: when Justin Barker

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_02]: made an awesome post

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_02]: to come back

[00:37:06] [SPEAKER_02]: and it's categorized

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_02]: you know you can go to the

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_02]: category

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_02]: you can go to the topic

[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_02]: and you can find it

[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_02]: five years down the road

[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_02]: and you can read about

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_02]: whatever you want

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_02]: so everything is categorized

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_02]: and it's put into a topic

[00:37:16] [SPEAKER_02]: and the other thing

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_02]: is

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_02]: a major problem

[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_02]: that I see on Facebook

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_02]: right now

[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_02]: is there's like

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_02]: a lot of trolling

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_02]: and a lot of answers

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_02]: that just

[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_02]: are not on point

[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_02]: and I see people

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_02]: on Facebook

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_02]: and they

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_02]: they ask a legitimate question

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_02]: and someone comes in

[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_02]: and says

[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_02]: oh you need a $10,000

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_02]: shotgun

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_02]: oh you need this

[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_02]: and the way our system

[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_02]: works right now is

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_02]: if you click on someone's

[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_02]: username

[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_02]: in their post

[00:37:38] [SPEAKER_02]: it gives you the ability

[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_02]: to look at their profile

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_02]: which is all their posts

[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_02]: and comments that they've

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_02]: made

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_02]: or you can go look

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_02]: at their scoring data

[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_02]: and you can see

[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_02]: how they are as a

[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_02]: competitor

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_02]: so you can't have

[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_02]: someone that

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_02]: just started shooting

[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_02]: giving you bad advice

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and you can kind of see

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_02]: you know

[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_02]: is this person legitimate

[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_02]: that's giving me advice

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_02]: and it should cut down

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_02]: on the trolling

[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_02]: and things like that

[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_02]: and kind of a legitimate place

[00:37:59] [SPEAKER_02]: for people to ask questions

[00:38:00] [SPEAKER_02]: and get advice

[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_02]: and get help

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's a lot of that

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_01]: for sure. A lot of people

[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_01]: think they know what they're

[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_01]: talking about

[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and a lot of people don't

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_01]: So

[00:38:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Forums are super cool

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_03]: we're excited about that

[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_03]: we think

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_03]: you know this is going

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_03]: to be something

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_03]: that a lot of people

[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_03]: will be interested in

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_03]: and once the ball

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_03]: gets rolling

[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_03]: you know there's just

[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_03]: a lot of people

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_03]: that love this sport

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_03]: and they just love

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_03]: talking about it

[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_03]: they're curious

[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_03]: they want answers

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_03]: you know they're trying to learn

[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_03]: and this is something

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_03]: you can just casually jump on there

[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_03]: and if you have a question

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_03]: about anything

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_03]: it can be something very specific

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_03]: it can be a general broad question

[00:38:32] [SPEAKER_03]: you just go on there

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_03]: and feel free to

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_03]: ask away

[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_03]: or make a statement

[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_03]: make a comment

[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_03]: if you want to get

[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_03]: something off your chest

[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_03]: feel free to go in

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_03]: you know you can post

[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_03]: pictures

[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_03]: or links

[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_03]: and videos

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_03]: that kind of stuff

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's super exciting

[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_01]: you know

[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah it's

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_01]: it's neat man

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean there's just

[00:38:54] [SPEAKER_01]: it's like you know

[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_01]: when I looked at this

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_01]: it was a website

[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_01]: but I'm sitting here

[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_01]: while you're talking

[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_01]: and I'm going through it

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_01]: and it just keeps going

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_01]: like you've got articles

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_01]: about all the big tournaments

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm assuming that

[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I guess you guys write these

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_01]: and if you missed a tournament

[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_01]: all you have to do

[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_01]: is go into each one

[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_01]: of these recaps

[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_01]: and you can see

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean there's pictures

[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and there's

[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_01]: you know

[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_01]: scores and

[00:39:20] [SPEAKER_01]: everything

[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_01]: a brief summary

[00:39:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I guess you want to say

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_01]: of the tournament

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_03]: the name

[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_03]: the name and bodies

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_03]: it perfectly gets

[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_03]: perfectly it's a recap

[00:39:29] [SPEAKER_03]: you know

[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_03]: if you know

[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_03]: you're a shooter

[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_03]: you weren't able to make

[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_03]: the tournament because

[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_03]: you had a family event

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_03]: going on

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_03]: or you're busy

[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_03]: with business

[00:39:38] [SPEAKER_03]: or something like that

[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_03]: and you're kind of curious

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_03]: like hey what was that

[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_03]: what was our regional

[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_03]: tournament like

[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_03]: or what was the shoot

[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_03]: like there

[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_03]: here that I wasn't able

[00:39:47] [SPEAKER_03]: to make it to

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_03]: then you can just kind of go in

[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_03]: and I've spent some time

[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_03]: just

[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_03]: you know

[00:39:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm fortunate enough

[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_03]: to go to a lot of these events

[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_03]: so I just kind of

[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_03]: recollect a little bit

[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_03]: and think you know

[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_03]: okay what was that like

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_03]: and talk a little bit

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_03]: about the details

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_03]: what were the layouts like

[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_03]: you know what were the courses

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_03]: like you know

[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_03]: who set the birds

[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_03]: you know Ty had a great idea

[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_03]: of saying you know

[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_03]: who won what

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_03]: so we have the different

[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_03]: events and you can see

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_03]: where people placed

[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_03]: and it's just super cool

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_03]: it's a quick read

[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_03]: you go in there

[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_03]: get a recap on the tournament

[00:40:16] [SPEAKER_03]: what was it like

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_03]: okay catch up on it

[00:40:18] [SPEAKER_03]: and just kind of scroll on to the next

[00:40:20] [SPEAKER_03]: and we're also doing that

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_03]: for events that are upcoming

[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_03]: so there's a couple

[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_03]: tournaments that haven't happened

[00:40:26] [SPEAKER_03]: but we've you know

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_03]: reached out

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_03]: got some information

[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_03]: and details

[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_03]: and been able to

[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_03]: get a little write up

[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_03]: so people can know

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_03]: what to expect

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_03]: and what's ahead

[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_03]: so that's something

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_03]: we're excited about

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_03]: you know we're just excited

[00:40:37] [SPEAKER_03]: about you know

[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_03]: everything on this website

[00:40:39] [SPEAKER_03]: and we think everybody

[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_03]: will enjoy it

[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_03]: and find it

[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_03]: you know very entertaining

[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_03]: you know

[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah well it's new

[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_01]: like I've said before

[00:40:47] [SPEAKER_01]: four times it's new

[00:40:48] [SPEAKER_01]: and the only thing that it will do

[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_01]: is grow and get bigger

[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_01]: especially when people sign up for it

[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_01]: and it's something

[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_01]: that

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_01]: when you're sitting around

[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean

[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_01]: it's valuable information

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_01]: to read through to look at

[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_01]: especially if you are

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_01]: serious about the sport

[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_01]: you know if you're serious

[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_01]: about the sport

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_01]: then here you go

[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_01]: ESPN meets Clakeshoe

[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_01]: that's what I say

[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_01]: that's right

[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_03]: serious or just trying to get in

[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_03]: you know

[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's what was cool

[00:41:21] [SPEAKER_03]: again about ties

[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_03]: he was

[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_03]: very green

[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_03]: when he first approached me

[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_03]: and it was cool because

[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_03]: this is such a big part of my life

[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_03]: sometimes I don't get to see it

[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_03]: from someone else's shoes

[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think about the things that

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_03]: he's seeing as he's just

[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_03]: kind of getting introduced to the sport

[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_03]: so this is like

[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_03]: even if you're trying to learn

[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_03]: you can go on here

[00:41:40] [SPEAKER_03]: and get an idea

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_03]: what things are like

[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_03]: and just kind of see it

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_03]: concrete first-hand

[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah we're excited

[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_02]: we bring both spectrums

[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_02]: of the table together

[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_02]: you know I'm just a beginner

[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_02]: trying to figure out how to shoot

[00:41:51] [SPEAKER_02]: and Joe's on the opposite side

[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_02]: of the spectrum

[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_02]: so we try to cover everything

[00:41:55] [SPEAKER_02]: in between

[00:41:55] [SPEAKER_02]: you know we're out there

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_02]: for the average Joe

[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_02]: at the end of the day

[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_01]: yep

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_01]: now

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_01]: what are your goals

[00:42:01] [SPEAKER_01]: for this

[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_01]: when we kind of talked about

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_01]: what you want to do with it

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_01]: but what do you want

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_01]: at the end goal

[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_01]: what is your end goal

[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_01]: with this thing

[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_01]: is it

[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_01]: just absolutely

[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah for sure

[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_03]: you know

[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_03]: our goal with this

[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_03]: is to help propel

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_03]: the industry

[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_03]: and boost awareness

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_03]: to help the sport grow

[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_03]: you know often

[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I have conversations

[00:42:21] [SPEAKER_03]: with my friend

[00:42:22] [SPEAKER_03]: and shooting

[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_03]: all the time

[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_03]: and you know I ask him

[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_03]: like you know when

[00:42:26] [SPEAKER_03]: when our time comes

[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_03]: one day

[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_03]: and we're going to hang it up

[00:42:29] [SPEAKER_03]: and be finished

[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_03]: with our careers

[00:42:31] [SPEAKER_03]: looking back

[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_03]: on clay target shooting

[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_03]: what would make you

[00:42:36] [SPEAKER_03]: proud

[00:42:37] [SPEAKER_03]: from an accomplishment

[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_03]: standpoint

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_03]: you know on how you

[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_03]: impacted the game

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_03]: and you know of course

[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_03]: as a competitor myself

[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I have

[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_03]: a long list of

[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_03]: major titles

[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_03]: and tournaments

[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_03]: that I would like to win

[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_03]: and have my name on

[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_03]: the trophy of

[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_03]: but on an even bigger scale

[00:42:55] [SPEAKER_03]: you know just from

[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_03]: a moral standpoint

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like

[00:42:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I have an obligation

[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_03]: to just do everything

[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_03]: everything I possibly can

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_03]: to help the sport grow

[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_03]: and provide opportunities

[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_03]: that didn't exist

[00:43:07] [SPEAKER_03]: you know when

[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I started

[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and you know

[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_03]: get people involved

[00:43:12] [SPEAKER_03]: so they too

[00:43:13] [SPEAKER_03]: can have the chance

[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_03]: to have their lives

[00:43:15] [SPEAKER_03]: changed for the better

[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_03]: the same way that

[00:43:17] [SPEAKER_03]: this game

[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_03]: changed all of our lives

[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_03]: for the better

[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_03]: you know at the end

[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_03]: of the day

[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I just I love the game

[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_03]: of clay target shooting

[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_03]: so much

[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_03]: so much that

[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I truly can't even

[00:43:27] [SPEAKER_03]: put it into words

[00:43:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Justin it's

[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_03]: it will forever be

[00:43:30] [SPEAKER_03]: a major priority

[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_03]: of mine

[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_03]: to always make

[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_03]: any effort that I can

[00:43:34] [SPEAKER_03]: to contribute

[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_03]: to something bigger

[00:43:36] [SPEAKER_03]: than myself

[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_03]: and American

[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Shaw Gunner

[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_03]: provides a great

[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_03]: opportunity for that

[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_03]: and I

[00:43:42] [SPEAKER_03]: am most excited

[00:43:43] [SPEAKER_03]: for the people

[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_03]: that will use it

[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_03]: and benefit from it

[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_03]: in the future

[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_03]: and I'm excited

[00:43:47] [SPEAKER_03]: for those people

[00:43:48] [SPEAKER_03]: who've already started

[00:43:48] [SPEAKER_03]: to use our site

[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_03]: because we've got great

[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_03]: feedback

[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_03]: and it's just

[00:43:52] [SPEAKER_03]: like what you've done

[00:43:52] [SPEAKER_03]: like I said

[00:43:53] [SPEAKER_03]: back when I met

[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_03]: you in 2018

[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_03]: we were out there

[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_03]: shooting on the course

[00:43:56] [SPEAKER_03]: and I could tell

[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_03]: you loved it

[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_03]: you know you

[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_03]: loved the game

[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_03]: and you loved

[00:44:00] [SPEAKER_03]: the fact

[00:44:01] [SPEAKER_03]: that you could

[00:44:01] [SPEAKER_03]: put a shell in your gun

[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_03]: mount the gun

[00:44:05] [SPEAKER_03]: and pull the trigger

[00:44:06] [SPEAKER_03]: and break

[00:44:07] [SPEAKER_03]: 108 millimeter

[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_03]: target

[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_03]: flying out there

[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_03]: at 30, 40, 50, 60 yards

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean that's cool

[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean that's why we come back

[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_03]: it's honestly

[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Clay Target shooting

[00:44:15] [SPEAKER_03]: is just an

[00:44:17] [SPEAKER_03]: exhilarating feeling

[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_03]: it really is

[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_03]: and

[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_03]: more than

[00:44:21] [SPEAKER_03]: what you've done

[00:44:21] [SPEAKER_03]: just for

[00:44:22] [SPEAKER_03]: yourself and shooting

[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_03]: when I think about

[00:44:24] [SPEAKER_03]: what you've done

[00:44:24] [SPEAKER_03]: with this podcast

[00:44:25] [SPEAKER_03]: it's been huge

[00:44:26] [SPEAKER_03]: it's been a big deal

[00:44:27] [SPEAKER_03]: and you've felt the sport grow

[00:44:28] [SPEAKER_03]: you've

[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_03]: added to the sport

[00:44:31] [SPEAKER_03]: and there's people

[00:44:32] [SPEAKER_03]: from around the world

[00:44:33] [SPEAKER_03]: that have

[00:44:34] [SPEAKER_03]: learned a lot

[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_03]: and you know

[00:44:36] [SPEAKER_03]: they might be driving down the road

[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_03]: on their way to work

[00:44:38] [SPEAKER_03]: or at the gym

[00:44:39] [SPEAKER_03]: working out

[00:44:40] [SPEAKER_03]: or just laying on the couch

[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_03]: at home

[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_03]: and they're listening to your podcast

[00:44:43] [SPEAKER_03]: and we're supportive

[00:44:44] [SPEAKER_03]: about everything like that

[00:44:46] [SPEAKER_03]: and if we can play a small role

[00:44:47] [SPEAKER_03]: and help in the sport grow

[00:44:48] [SPEAKER_03]: that's going to be a great goal

[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_03]: that we feel like

[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_03]: we've accomplished

[00:44:51] [SPEAKER_03]: and we're excited about it

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_03]: we're very proud of it

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah

[00:44:55] [SPEAKER_01]: now

[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_01]: you guys

[00:44:58] [SPEAKER_01]: are you going into

[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_01]: your senior year

[00:45:00] [SPEAKER_01]: or are you in your senior year

[00:45:05] [SPEAKER_01]: great

[00:45:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Joe what's your degree in

[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm studying construction science

[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah

[00:45:10] [SPEAKER_01]: what are you Ty

[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm industrial engineering

[00:45:13] [SPEAKER_01]: okay

[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_01]: well

[00:45:15] [SPEAKER_01]: so we got two smart guys on the phone

[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_01]: that's what it's all about

[00:45:18] [SPEAKER_01]: you normally hear all these fancy websites

[00:45:21] [SPEAKER_01]: coming out of Harvard or some place

[00:45:22] [SPEAKER_01]: we got one coming out of Texas A&M

[00:45:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Texas A&M baby

[00:45:26] [SPEAKER_01]: gig them

[00:45:26] [SPEAKER_01]: best school in the world

[00:45:27] [SPEAKER_01]: is the planet

[00:45:29] [SPEAKER_01]: by far

[00:45:30] [SPEAKER_01]: oh yeah

[00:45:31] [SPEAKER_01]: what

[00:45:32] [SPEAKER_01]: what

[00:45:33] [SPEAKER_01]: let's talk about A&M for a second

[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_01]: are you going to the game

[00:45:37] [SPEAKER_01]: you got all

[00:45:38] [SPEAKER_01]: you're going to all the games

[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_02]: oh we go to every game

[00:45:40] [SPEAKER_02]: absolutely

[00:45:41] [SPEAKER_02]: me and Joe go to every basketball game

[00:45:42] [SPEAKER_02]: every football game

[00:45:43] [SPEAKER_02]: the 12th man

[00:45:44] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah

[00:45:44] [SPEAKER_03]: we try to be there to support

[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah

[00:45:47] [SPEAKER_03]: yes sir

[00:45:47] [SPEAKER_03]: we got a big game this weekend

[00:45:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Notre Dame's coming into town

[00:45:50] [SPEAKER_03]: so

[00:45:51] [SPEAKER_03]: we'll see how it goes

[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_03]: it's kind of cool for me

[00:45:53] [SPEAKER_03]: my grandfather

[00:45:54] [SPEAKER_03]: my dad's dad

[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_03]: he actually went to Notre Dame

[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_03]: and

[00:45:57] [SPEAKER_03]: he was the first person

[00:45:58] [SPEAKER_03]: in our family

[00:45:59] [SPEAKER_03]: to go to college

[00:46:00] [SPEAKER_03]: and Notre Dame's always kind of ran

[00:46:02] [SPEAKER_03]: in our family's blood

[00:46:03] [SPEAKER_03]: because of that

[00:46:03] [SPEAKER_03]: but of course

[00:46:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I got a side with them

[00:46:06] [SPEAKER_03]: rune and white

[00:46:06] [SPEAKER_03]: I got to support my Aggies

[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_03]: and

[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm super excited

[00:46:09] [SPEAKER_03]: to be there at Kyle Field

[00:46:11] [SPEAKER_03]: on Saturday night

[00:46:12] [SPEAKER_03]: college game days coming into town

[00:46:13] [SPEAKER_03]: it's going to be electric

[00:46:15] [SPEAKER_03]: the atmosphere will be terrific

[00:46:16] [SPEAKER_03]: and

[00:46:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm very confident

[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_03]: that A&M has

[00:46:20] [SPEAKER_03]: the ultimate

[00:46:22] [SPEAKER_03]: hostile environment

[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_03]: we have the best fans in the country

[00:46:25] [SPEAKER_03]: and we have the best atmosphere

[00:46:27] [SPEAKER_03]: so

[00:46:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Notre Dame's really good

[00:46:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to make any predictions

[00:46:29] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to try

[00:46:30] [SPEAKER_03]: to be too optimistic

[00:46:32] [SPEAKER_03]: but

[00:46:32] [SPEAKER_03]: it's going to be a tough fight for us

[00:46:34] [SPEAKER_03]: but I think we have a chance

[00:46:35] [SPEAKER_03]: like I said

[00:46:35] [SPEAKER_03]: just because

[00:46:36] [SPEAKER_03]: the spirit man

[00:46:37] [SPEAKER_03]: the spirit of Aggieland

[00:46:38] [SPEAKER_03]: it's special

[00:46:38] [SPEAKER_03]: it's really cool

[00:46:39] [SPEAKER_01]: do you know

[00:46:41] [SPEAKER_01]: do y'all have any idea

[00:46:41] [SPEAKER_01]: what you're going to do when you

[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_01]: graduate

[00:46:44] [SPEAKER_01]: as far as where you're going to go

[00:46:45] [SPEAKER_01]: you're going to stay in Texas

[00:46:46] [SPEAKER_01]: you have job offers

[00:46:47] [SPEAKER_01]: anything like that

[00:46:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll probably end up doing

[00:46:52] [SPEAKER_02]: some kind of grad school

[00:46:54] [SPEAKER_02]: probably at A&M

[00:46:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I love A&M

[00:46:57] [SPEAKER_02]: not in my current major

[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_02]: something else

[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_02]: just something that makes me happy

[00:47:00] [SPEAKER_02]: and then I think

[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Joe's going to go work somewhere

[00:47:02] [SPEAKER_02]: what are you going to do Joe?

[00:47:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm excited

[00:47:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll graduate next year in 2025

[00:47:05] [SPEAKER_03]: at the end of the year

[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_03]: and you know

[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm still not 1,000%

[00:47:10] [SPEAKER_03]: committed on anything

[00:47:11] [SPEAKER_03]: too specific yet

[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_03]: but

[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I've had a lot of great opportunities

[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_03]: and I'm looking forward to

[00:47:18] [SPEAKER_03]: interning and shadowing

[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_03]: and I've got to meet a lot of great people

[00:47:21] [SPEAKER_03]: that have opened

[00:47:22] [SPEAKER_03]: doors for me

[00:47:23] [SPEAKER_03]: for great careers

[00:47:24] [SPEAKER_03]: ahead of me in the future

[00:47:26] [SPEAKER_03]: through the game of Clay Target Shooting

[00:47:28] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's what's so cool

[00:47:29] [SPEAKER_03]: is I love to compete

[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_03]: in Clay Target Shooting

[00:47:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Clay Shooting will always be

[00:47:32] [SPEAKER_03]: a huge part of my life

[00:47:34] [SPEAKER_03]: first and foremost

[00:47:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I love competing as a competitor

[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I love winning tournaments

[00:47:39] [SPEAKER_03]: you know

[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I love having the opportunity

[00:47:41] [SPEAKER_03]: to represent the United States

[00:47:44] [SPEAKER_03]: shooting team

[00:47:45] [SPEAKER_03]: when we get to go overseas

[00:47:46] [SPEAKER_03]: all that kind of stuff

[00:47:47] [SPEAKER_03]: so shooting will always be

[00:47:48] [SPEAKER_03]: a big part of my life

[00:47:49] [SPEAKER_03]: but I do want to go

[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_03]: work in construction

[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_03]: it's another passion of mine

[00:47:52] [SPEAKER_03]: it's a career that I'm very excited about

[00:47:54] [SPEAKER_03]: and I have some ideas

[00:47:56] [SPEAKER_03]: but what's cool

[00:47:57] [SPEAKER_03]: is all of them

[00:47:58] [SPEAKER_03]: have kind of came through

[00:48:00] [SPEAKER_03]: people that I've met

[00:48:01] [SPEAKER_03]: through Clay Target Shooting

[00:48:02] [SPEAKER_03]: which is just such a great reason

[00:48:04] [SPEAKER_03]: to be involved with shooting

[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_03]: at the end of the day

[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_03]: it's cool going across the country

[00:48:08] [SPEAKER_03]: in the world to these tournaments

[00:48:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and competing

[00:48:09] [SPEAKER_03]: but when you really look back on it

[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_03]: you think about the people

[00:48:13] [SPEAKER_03]: you get to meet in this sport

[00:48:15] [SPEAKER_03]: there's nothing like it

[00:48:15] [SPEAKER_03]: very rarely will you come

[00:48:17] [SPEAKER_03]: across a bad person

[00:48:18] [SPEAKER_03]: and I think about my best memories

[00:48:20] [SPEAKER_03]: my hardest laughs

[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_03]: and my closest friends

[00:48:24] [SPEAKER_03]: and my biggest mentors

[00:48:25] [SPEAKER_03]: they've all came from

[00:48:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Clay Target Shooting

[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_03]: so I'm humbled, I'm blessed

[00:48:28] [SPEAKER_03]: this is a big part of why

[00:48:30] [SPEAKER_03]: we wanted to do this

[00:48:31] [SPEAKER_03]: we're doing this

[00:48:32] [SPEAKER_03]: for the people of Clay Target Shooting

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_03]: and we're excited

[00:48:35] [SPEAKER_03]: for what the future holds

[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Alright y'all tell everyone
