In this hilarious and heartfelt episode of the Tru2Shooters Podcast, hosts Tyler Wildman and Michael Fitzner sit down with two of the sport’s most entertaining athletes — Steve “Woody” Wood and Dessislav “Dess” Ivanov. Shooting partners, travel buddies, and all-around crowd favorites, Woody and Dess share their journey from a small New York gun club to competing at the World Skeet Championships.

From Woody’s AA Doubles win and their epic road trip stories, to squad camaraderie, equipment choices, and even why pizza might be the ultimate skeet sponsor, this conversation has it all. Between the laughs, they also open up about respect on the field, the importance of having a strong squad, and the best advice they have for new and youth shooters.

🎯 What to Expect:
✔️ Woody’s World Skeet Championship highlights (and cereal out of trophies 🏆)
✔️ Dess’ Bulgarian roots, humor, and why having a good squadmate matters
✔️ The role of respect, sportsmanship, and fun in skeet shooting
✔️ Gear talk — Beretta, Krieghoff, Briley tubes, and more
✔️ Advice for youth: find a buddy, keep it fun, and just start shooting
✔️ Plenty of pizza, punchlines, and behind-the-scenes laughs 🍕😂
