Maxwell grills Riser on his recent experience shooting the team division in an NRL Hunter match. No running and gunning this week—just difficult positions, blind stages, switching wind, and tiny steel targets and really far distances. There were plenty of lessons learned from hopping into a sport that in many ways is exactly the opposite of 3 Gun. 

In this episode, the Adams give an update on the current status of the team selection for the 2026 IPSC Shotgun World Shoot in Greece. We are two matches into a 6-match series, and the leaderboard is starting to take shape. See who's out front, who's on the bubble, and hear a little behind the scenes on how the selection process works. 

On this episode, the short Adam travels to South Carolina for the Tarheel 3 Gun Challenge and then has a completely surreal experience on the drive back to the airport. The tall Adam went back to his homeland of Minnesota for the Northwoods Shootout to try his hand at winning the big check.

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.
