In this episode of The Sporting Society Podcast, we sit down with Maryland clay shooter and instructor Amy Crow for a conversation that goes well beyond breaking targets.

Amy shares her journey into the shooting sports, the experiences that shaped her along the way, and how a passion for clay shooting grew into an opportunity to teach and mentor others.

From competition and coaching to family, community, and the outdoor lifestyle, Amy offers an inside look at the person behind the shotgun and what keeps her connected to the sporting world.

It’s a conversation about shooting, certainly—but even more about the life, relationships, and traditions built around it.

We talk archery, hunting, snakeheads, life on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, and the experiences that keep us coming back season after season.

This one is all about the pursuit, the people, and the outdoor traditions that make the Eastern Shore special.
