   It's hard to believe how much technology is coming into sporting clays, or the clay target sports in general, for that matter. Now, for 2026, another app has been developed for sporting clays. Leading the charge on this one, is Kevin DeMichiel and Bill McGuire, along with the technical aspects being handled by Scott Winstead. Yep, you read that right. Kevin and Bill now have an app!    Before we dive into the app, Kevin gives us the 411 on the upcoming Shooters Championship to be held at The Meadows clay sports in Forsyth GA. With a LOT of money and big prizes on the line, this is sure to be a shoot you don't want to miss!  Listen in as we cover the app, the shoot, and more with Kevin and Scott!  ClayMaster app - https://www.claymaster.net/

  Our co-host for this week's episode is Ben McAnally. Being a former President of the Texas Sporting Clays Association, Ben was the perfect person to join us for this conversation with Travis Mears. We discussed the upcoming Texas State Sporting Clays Championship and all the details surrounding the shoot. Then we dove deep into the new premier sporting clays facility that Travis is building. Why build a new one? What can patrons expect from this new facility that the current one does not have? We ask these questions and many more as we discuss the new Defender Outdoors and what it means for you when you visit the club!

Tracy Wright co-hosts this episode as we welcome Scott Manspeaker of Atlas traps to give us the updates and news from Atlas Traps. Atlas was included in the National Sporting Clays Championship this year as the trap provider for the 5 stand and sub gauge events.  Atlas has been a supporter of the Dead Pair Podcast since our first year full year, and it was only fitting to get them back on the show for another great episode with them, and to give us some insight as to what it took to provide 2 great courses at the Nationals!

The NSSF, National Shooting Sports Foundation, has created programs that not only encourage safe firearm ownership, but also encourage mentorship for introducing new people to shooting sports. The PlusONE program does just that!   As you know, we have always been advocates for taking someone new shooting, or taking that recreational shooter to a tournament. Now, the Dead Pair Podcast has partnered with the NSSF's PlusONE program to help incentivize those mentors, and reward them for taking new people out to bust some clays!  Listen in as we are joined by Justin Morrissey, Director of social media with the NSSF, and RAD Chad Roberts as we cover all the bases and bring you the 411 on this great program!
