  Through all the emails that we get, some of the most entertaining, as well as humbling emails, have came from the Australians. This year, a group of them came to the United States to travel and visit as many venues as possible, and shoot as many targets as they could, before ending up at the National Championship! The numbers of clubs and targets are staggering!  We caught up with Jason Solomons in San Antonio, and it was clear that we had to get a podcast recorded with this group!   Through the many challenges that they face in their country for shooting, they stay persistent to the game, and strive to help grow the sport both abroad and at home!

  The 2023 California State Sporting Clays Championship was one for the record books this year, as they exceeded previous years attendance. The Dead Pair's own Jason Rambo was on hand with interviews, to break a few targets, and take in California's sporting scene.
    With so many great amenities, it was a fit for LA Clays to host this years championship, and a spectacular job they did! The staff stepped in the box and swept this years event in flawless fashion.
    While in attendance, Jason was able to capture interviews from Jun Vergara, Grace Choe,  Henning  Mathew, Ethan Starks, Justin Fox, Tom John, and Betsy, the owner of LA Clays!

  The young Kaitlyn Koenig is an up an coming shooter currently hailing from Florida and is transitioning from the skeet world and into sporting clays.  She shot in front of the Dead pair squad at the US Open in 2022 at Backwoods, and we were impressed to say the least!
   Kaitlyn has a cool back story and some surprising twists to the obstacles she had to overcome in shooting. There are some really good nuggets to learn from and her story is a must hear!
   Speaking of learning nuggets, we have John Woolley on for a Questions for the Coaches. John is always a pleasure to have on the show, and his legendary status in the sport brings the wisdom we seek for your questions!

  We are joined by in-studio guests Ricky Marshall Jr, Jake Spengler, and Zach Nannini as we discuss the upcoming Ohio State Sporting Clays Championship,  why Zach and Ricky are in town, and a whole lotta madness!
  The Ohio State Championship is a highly coveted shoot for multiple reasons. This year, to add to the experience, there is an additional $32k of guaranteed purse, gun giveaways, raffles, door prizes, and a whole lot more. Don't forget, the Dead Pair hangout will be front and center on Friday and Saturday night of the shoot!
   With Jake, Ricky, and Zach in-studio, the chaos started with the conversation going from one corner to the next, but there is still a ton of great information, and whole lot of fun in this episode !!!

  We were honored to have Derrick Mein and RAD Chad Roberts visit us in-studio as they were making their way to the N.E.Regional. We took full advantage of the visit and lit the mic's up to capture this conversation. But it was a long one, so we broke it into 2 parts. This is part 1.
    Where can we begin with Derrick Mein?  Derrick is a multi time All American, National Champion, World Champion and an Olympian! He competes in sporting, trap, skeet, bunker, and his list of accomplishments is way too much to print here!
   As always, RAD Chad is a great addition to the show and brings his vast array of knowledge and understanding of the sporting game to the conversation! Chad himself is a multi time California state sporting clays champion as well as National and World BMX champion, so he understands what it takes to win!
