My guest this week is Tim Herron. I have been compiling results from USPSA Nationals from the past 3 season with the goal of going back to 2021.

My guest this week is a 3-Gunner and Match Director from the Golden State. My first introduction to him was when he pushed Nils Jonasson to 3 (best of 3) strings during their squad shootoff at PCSL Nationals. He made Nils work for that win. Enjoy! https://lbr8.link/@Casualshooterpodcast

Brian and Josh came on the show to talk everything PCSL Nationals. Brian competed in the Practical Standard division and was 4th. Josh shot the match in one day and worked the match. Enjoy!

Mason was nice enough to come back on the show after a nearly three year hiatus. We discuss the last three years and 2025, “The Year of the Lane.” It’s always a pleasure speaking with him and I look forward to the next conversation. Enjoy!! https://lbr8.link/@Casualshooterpodcast

Keith Sanderson is a four-time Olympian and World Cup Gold Medalist. We spent 3.5 hours talking non-stop about shooting. This might be the single most nugget-laden conversation I have ever had. I only got in one of my ice breaker questions because the conversation was deep from the beginning. Because it is so long, the conversation is broken into three parts. Enjoy!! https://lbr8.link/@Casualshooterpodcast

What started as a comparison of bullseye shooting and action shooting (practical shooting), quickly turned into a discussion about marksmanship in general. Not only do we talk about pistol, we talk about rifle as well. In addition to me, the guests are Matt Gundlach (formerly of the USMC Shooting Team), Zane Jones (Marine Reserve Major and winner of the 2025 McMillan Trophy), Keith Sanderson (Army and Marine Shooting Teams, as well as a 4x Olympian), and Brian Zins (USMC Pistol Team and 12x NRA National Champion). There is a lot of knowledge within those four brains. Enjoy!! https://lbr8.link/@Casualshooterpodcast

I am joined by Major Ali Michael Chinisaz and MSgt Jon Thorton for this episode about the USAF Rifle Team. Ali is a 3-gunner and Jon is a PRS competitor. Look for individual episodes later. Enjoy! https://lbr8.link/@Casualshooterpodcast
