Show Notes
On this episode of the American Warrior Show, I sit down with Andrew Keith and Cody Hudson to talk about the Southeast Law Enforcement Handgun Classic — a match built by cops, for cops.
We discuss the origins of the event, why blending training with competition pushes law enforcement officers to a higher standard, and how the Classic has quickly grown into one of the most respected shooting events in the Southeast. Andrew and Cody share insights into stage design, performance under pressure, and the real-world skills competitors walk away with.
