I have 3 of the 4 Ladies on the gold medal team. This is a different experience than what I heard from the men. Very intriguing! Enjoy!

My guest for this episode is none other than the current Area 2 Director, Leighton Oosthuisen. This is his first ever podcast conversation and we went over 4 hours. There is a lot here. There is a lot about both IPSC and USPSA. Listen to what he has to say and make up your own mind. Enjoy!!

My guest this week comes by way of the Philippines while a typhoon is nearby disrupting our virtual conversation. Hopefully, Edcel made out ok.

Edcel is a two-time IPSC World Shoot medalist (bronze then silver) and was 2nd overall at the 2024 Carry Optics Nationals. Enjoy!!

Today’s guest is Dylan Kelley. He’s been in the Marines for 6 years. He spent some time as a crew member on a tracked vehicle and as a Marine Security Guard overseas at embassies. Now, he’s a member of the USMC Shooting Team. We discuss how he got there and where he’s going. Unlike the US Army Marksmanship Unit, your time on the USMC Shooting Team is limited. Where does he go from there?
