The Casual Shooter Podcast

This is the conclusion of my conversation with Zane Jones. He has a lot of very interesting videos on his Youtube channel. Enjoy!! https://www.youtube.com/@BullseyePistol

My guest this week, Zane Jones, is a pistol shooter that competes in both bullseye AND practical shooting. In a 9-day span, he shot both the Area 5 Championship (practical shooting) and the Ohio Outdoor Championship (bullseye shooting). We discuss his shooting journey, as well as differences between the two disciplines. He has a lot of very interesting videos on his Youtube channel. Enjoy!! https://www.youtube.com/@BullseyePistol

This is an episode Luke and I recorded a couple months ago. I wanted to hang onto it until the right time and I think that time is now. We get deeper into the weeds than is probably necessary but there is more than enough information here for you to decide what you want to do as it pertains to zeroing your pistol whether that is with a red dot or iron sights.

A short 20 minute monologue about rifle zeroing. The full video can be found on Rumble. Enjoy!!

This is the conclusion of my conversation with Brian. Enjoy!!

My guest this week is a Grandmaster USPSA shooter, 4th at the Shotgun World Shoot in 2018, 7th this last summer in Finland at the Rifle World Shoot and just finished 2nd at the USPSA PCC Nationals. I want to thank Brian for coming on the show! Enjoy! https://www.instagram.com/brian_nelson_practical_shooter/

This is the conclusion of my conversation with Giulia. Enjoy!! If you want to give her a follow, the link to her Instagram is below. https://www.instagram.com/giuliav1990/

This was streamed live on Rumble and here earlier today. This is the replay.

This is Part 1 of my conversation with Giulia. Since the recording of this episode, Giulia has won her 5th consecutive Ladies Italy Production Optics National Championship. She won Gold at the 2022 Handgun World Shoot with the Ladies Team in Production Optics. In 7 short years, she’s a very accomplished shooter. So, now I’ve had a Russian IPSC competitor, a Philippines IPSC competitor and, now, an Italy IPSC competitor on the show. Let’s not forget Tim Germanchis who lives in the US but is Australian and started his shooting career in Australia. I am open to suggestions for other international competitors. If you are an IPSC competitor living abroad, please reach out. I would love to have you on the show and talk IPSC competition.

In this episode, Jay Slater, Max Leograndis and Kirt McKenna join me in discussing super squad relevancy and assignment. Does it matter? Is there competitive inequity? Who should be on the super squad? Max also gives us some insight as to what he’s thinking about as to determining a PCSL National Champion. He’s considering making circuits great again. But, he is also looking for some feedback. Enjoy!

Morgan returns to the show after nearly 2 years since her first time on the podcast. We talk about her trials and tribulations at the 2024 IPSC Nationals, as well as the 2024 Carry Optics Nationals, and her win at the 2024 Handgun Nationals in Limited Optics. Unfortunately, there was some type of snafu with the recording software. The podcast will end abruptly even though we continued talking for another 15 minutes. I am working with the company to try and determine what happened. Enjoy!!

My guest this week, hails from Colorado. She’s a competitive shooter that has been in the game for 2 years and is already A class and was 4th in Ladies Limited Optics at Handgun Nationals. She has an athletic background and moves like an athlete. Look for her to rise up in the standings the more she competes. She mentions a book during the podcast that is also a movie. That book/movie is called Sarah’s Key. Enjoy!! https://www.instagram.com/brennahgaston/

My guest has created a Tactical Games-esque shooting competition an hour south of Tampa, FL. We talk all about it in this episode. If you’re in the area and want to try it out, the next match is at the beginning of February. Thanks to J.R. Crosby for putting us in touch in order to have the conversation! https://www.instagram.com/apex.shootout/

We get into specifics of each division. The dominance of JJ Racaza’s win, as well as Michael Poggie. The down to the last stage wins by John Vlieger and Joey Sauerland. Finally, we discuss the Handgun World Shoot Teams that have been decided to this point.

This is a replay of the live stream during the final afternoon of competition at the 2024 Handgun nationals in Talladega, AL. Hear the drama and breakdown as it occurred.

Updating everyone on Day 2 of Handgun Nationals.

A review of the standings and races after Day 1. Standby for more updates throughout the weekend.

My guest is a new Match Director in Area 8, as well as a new Carry Optics Master. He’s been in the practical shooting world for 5 years now. Welcome, Nate Lingsch! https://www.instagram.com/nathanlingsch/

I have 3 of the 4 Ladies on the gold medal team. This is a different experience than what I heard from the men. Very intriguing! Enjoy!

My guest for this episode is none other than the current Area 2 Director, Leighton Oosthuisen. This is his first ever podcast conversation and we went over 4 hours. There is a lot here. There is a lot about both IPSC and USPSA. Listen to what he has to say and make up your own mind. Enjoy!!
