In this episode we go deep on everything .22 rimfire. We talk about every kid's favorite cartridge and how useful it can be for practice in modern competition shooting. There are a lot of places where .22 can be an excellent stand in for much more expensive cartridges when it comes to building skill. In other places it can be a bit of a trap that can lead you down the wrong path. Listen to this episode and learn the difference.  

The Adams sat down in Riser's back yard to talk about Maxwell's shooting of the Texas 3 Gun Championship. The word for the match was "wind" and had a huge impact on the long range component of the match. Maxwell breaks down the match, talks the 6 Arc vs .223 debate, and clarifies that if you see us out there that we are approachable. 

Taking a class can be the biggest jump in your ability as a shooter. But there are some things to look out for and avoid, both in your instructor and in yourself. Today we take a deep dive into what to look for in a class, how to prepare, and how to get the most out of your time and money. 

What is a Gary? A Gary is someone who is just blowing it. They're at the match, so they're doing something right, but there's just something about them that tells everyone instantly "I have no idea what I'm doing." We've all done some Gary stuff. But hopefully this list will teach you what to avoid. 

The 2025 Battle For The South is in the books. Adam Riser and Adam Maxwell sit down to talk about the match, their performance, where not to say in Laurinburg North Carolina, and the most options ever presented on a jungle-run stage. It was good time. 

Today Adam and Adam take on a double header of listener questions. One: how to zero your match rifles, and different strategies for standard and max-point-blank zeros. Two: flying with all the equipment that open division 3 gun demands. 

With more than 25 years of competition shooting between them, Adam Riser and Adam Maxwell have seen and tried just about every piece of gear in the sport of 3 Gun from the pistol, rifle and shotgun, to all the support equipment all the way down the shoes. 

What would be there recommendations for someone starting into the sport with nothing at all? What gear would they run if they had all the options and all the money in the world? All the answers are in this episode. 

Today Adam and Adam talk about everyone's favorite off-season topic—dryfire. These are all the hows and whys of the most useful and least expensive training tool any competition shooter (or any shooter for that matter) has at their disposal. 

Riser and Maxwell discuss the Dissident Shotgun Match, which happens to be a qualifier for the IPSC Shotgun World Shoot in 2026. Neither of the Adams are very happy with their performance, one less so than the other. Have you ever bombed a match so badly that you sold your gear at the end of it? Well, one Adam did exactly that. 

What major matches are out there for 3 Gun, USPSA, PCSL, and NRL? What are we going to shoot? After requests from multiple people, we talk through each of our match schedules. More importantly for anyone who's interested in attending these matches, we talk through the flavor of each, so you know what to expect if you show up.
