Trapshooting legends Robert “Bob” Munson and Lou Ann “Annie” Munson join Richard and Zach for a special episode of Trap Talk From the Back Fence, recorded live during the 127th Grand American at the Trap Talk Studio in Building 106.

Bob and Annie have spent more than five decades traveling the country, winning major championships, representing Minnesota, and setting a standard of excellence few shooters have ever matched.

Bob’s remarkable career includes hundreds of 100 straights, numerous Minnesota championships, the 1982 Grand American Clay Target Championship, and the 1983 Grand American High All-Around Championship with a 397x400.

Annie became one of the early women to reach the 27-yard line, earned repeated All-American honors, and captured major victories including the 1984 Grand American Ladies High-Over-All and the 1979 Women’s Doubles Championship.

Together, Bob and Annie have won more husband-and-wife championships than anyone can accurately count. Their accomplishments are extraordinary, but their stories, memories, and perspective on the sport are what make this conversation truly special.

This episode is a chance to sit down with two people who did not simply compete in trapshooting. They helped define an era of it.

Steven “Magoo” Margherio has been stacking doubles 100s like firewood—and he joins Trap Talk for Episode 184 to break down the incredible run.

Magoo sits down with Zach Nannini and Richard Marshall Jr. after running all 300 doubles targets at the Ohio State Shoot and following it up with another 200 straight at the Iowa State Shoot. He shares the small adjustment that helped take his doubles game to another level and explains exactly how he approaches both targets.

We get into:

• Running 300 straight doubles at the Ohio State Shoot
• Winning the 2026 Iowa State Doubles Championship
• The small move that improved his first-target breaks
• Why true spot shooting was limiting his consistency
• His hold point, visual pickup and transition to the second target
• Breaking two handicap 100s at the Grand American
• Switching between his single barrel and over-under
• Finding consistency from the 27-yard line
• His goals heading into the Grand American
• Shooting for the Lindenwood University shotgun team

Magoo is a four-time All-American, a two-time Grand Slam shooter and one of the hottest doubles shooters in the game right now. With hundreds piling up across the country, he enters the Grand with confidence and some serious momentum.

Florida junior shooter Cody Meredith has been on an absolute tear—and in Episode 183, we sit down with one of trapshooting’s fastest-rising young competitors.

Cody joins Zach Nannini and Richard Marshall Jr. to talk about his journey from shooting hand-thrown clay targets on a family vacation to becoming the 2022 Rookie of the Year, a three-time All-American, Florida State Singles Champion and one of the hottest handicap shooters in the country.

We get into:

• Why Cody believes trapshooting is 95% mental
• How he gained more than 10 targets on his singles average in one year
• His practice routine and one-box-per-post training method
• The mindset that helped him dominate from the 27-yard line
• Why he moved away from spot shooting doubles
• His Kolar setup, hold points, chokes and ammunition
• Chasing the final legs of his ATA Grand Slam
• Setting goals to beat the entire field—not just his category

Cody is only 17, but his confidence, work ethic and understanding of the game are already well beyond his years. Keep an eye on this young man—his first 100 from the 27 and his first 100 in doubles may be right around the corner.
