Today we have a great listener question about how to get more from local matches. We talk about who to squad with, how to add pressure, when to care, and when to just have fun with the boys. Plus, we expose the gate code to every shooting range on earth. 

TacOps used to be the biggest division in 3 Gun by far. Now, it's a ghost town. Adam and Adam break down the history of this division and discuss the future. 

Sorry in advance for the audio on this one. The combination of recording in the camper and our crappy mics didn't do well. But, this one is a banger. The Adams sat down the morning after USPSA Multigun Nationals to talk about about the match. Riser got to see it from the competitor side, and Maxwell saw it from the Match Director side, so you get to hear about it all. 

Plus, a special announcement. 

Carry Optics is by far the biggest division in USPSA, but should it even be a thing? With it being so close to Limited Optics in both gear and results, there's a lot of talk about combining the two. In this episode, the Adams talk about the pros and cons of this move. Plus, we talk about the time that the US military shot a bunch of cows in order to figure out which pistol caliber was better. 

How you deal with a bad stage can drastically impact the rest of your match. In this episode, Adam and Adam go over their process for getting back on track after bombing hard.

While Riser recovers after the drive home from Canada, Maxwell updated him on the sport's happenings and talks about all the good and bad of the 2025 USPSA Factory Gun Nationals. Plus, Hunter hands out a duffle-bag of cash. 

It's fun to shoot different divisions, or even different sports. But how do you hop around all the time without losing too much proficiency in the places that matter. Today Maxwell and Riser talk about the ins and outs of bouncing around in the shooting sports, why you would do it, and traps to watch out for. 

Riser is out of the country climbing, but Maxwell just got back from the latest IPSC Shotgun World Shoot Qualifier and wanted to give everyone an update on the standings. Plus, a pretty hard-core Gary of the day for ya'll. Enjoy. 

Today the Adams talk about the High Desert Championship. One of the biggest, burliest 3-Gun matches in the country, the beast of a match includes massive stages with 300 second part times, super hard shooting, bonus rifles shot to 900 yards, more spinners than an MGM warehouse, and plenty of shenanigans. We discuss all the good and the not-so-good of one of our favorite matches. 

In order to answer a listener questions about the ins and outs of running a major match, Adam and Adam go deep on match directing. Everything is covered from the basics of putting on a local to the added complications of Maxwell's world running USPSA Multigun Nationals.
