Behind The Break - The Ultimate Clay Target Podcast

We recorded this episode right before Coronavirus hit the entire world.  We discussed past tournaments and shoots that were upcoming along with Alex's super sporting win and Kevin's FITASC win at the Seminole Cup.  We had no idea that the sporting clay world would be turned on its head with the spread of the virus, so here is what it was like not knowing that would happen and the conversation about upcoming events.  We touched on the sub-gauge rule, master class and more.

Kevin and Alex talked to Zach and Desi about what they have been doing in their off time during the quarantine now that they live in Savannah Georgia.  Zach is thinking of building golf carts and Desi is building furniture along with some fishing and shooting in between.  I think everyone agrees that we are all ready to start shooting again.

Kevin and Alex sat down with the new owner of thew Meadows Gun Club in Forsyth Georgia, Dominic Bethel.  Dominic discusses all of the new ideas he has and what he is implementing at the club.  One of Georgia's premier clubs is going to get even better with another course, a covered pavilion, new trap and skeet fields and so much more.  We are glad to be associated with the Meadows and we are really excited to see what is coming up in the future.

Find out how Pilla Performance Eyewear started, how it has evolved and how it is now the leading eyewear in shooting sports. We also discuss other sports and professional fields that Pilla eyewear is used.

Tom Seay, one of Wendell's students, sits down and asks questions only he knows how to ask to be able to get a little further into the methods that one of the greats teach.  Learn even more about the thought process that goes into simply shooting a clay target.......or is it that simple?

We get into the conversation about porting and how to overall make your gun shoot smoother and more consistent.  We also discussed the spreader shell and find out just how they work.......or do they really work? Heritage Gunsmiths, Inc. does not use any automatic or production tooling, but rather completes each operation with individual handwork and hand-operated machines to insure each barrel is correctly adapted to achieve the best performance with the shooter.

Continuing on from the first episode, we find out about the post-shot routine and continue to listen to how and why Wendell does certain things at tournaments and during practice.  We also discuss a question that Anthony Matarese Jr. sent in about aging and eyesight.

We were able to sit down with one of the sport's greatest shooters and coaches and get some very valuable information on what it takes to be a great shooter and what it takes to be a great coach.  Find out what the "grid system" is and how to use it.  Listen to how Wendell learned to shoot clays and how he teaches his students.  Find out what a true practice session is and so much more in the first episode of the Wendell Cherry Series.

This is the final episode of the Beretta Champions Series from Shot Show 2020 in Las Vegas. We really appreciate the time that everyone put into this and Beretta USA for arranging everyone in attendance.

This is a Behind The Break Comedy moment.  This is not a clay target based episode at all, but it will amaze you at the people in this world, what they do for a job and just what they know.  Just a little fun with this short bonus episode.  Anthony and Diane had a conversation with a cab driver leaving the Shot Show in Las Vegas and come to find out, he knew a lot more about guns than Anthony expected!
