The Casual Shooter Podcast

This week, I have on a fascinating guest. She started competing as a teen. Shot competitively throughout her entire 4 years of college and has continued that trend during her adult life. We only made it through half of our conversation due to technical difficulties. She's agreed to come on again so we can finish what we started. www.casualshooterpodcast.com LASRApp Referral Link https://bit.ly/3wfzybI Save 15% on other items at LASRApp with CSP2021 Save 20% on Gun Butter with casualshooter20 www.gunbutter.com Save 10% on HOIST with CasualShooter www.drinkhoist.com

This week is where Brantley and I dissect his stage wins on Stage 19 and Stage 1. Stage 19 was the end of Day 1 at Carry Optics Nationals. Brantley obliterated that stage. Nils was second and Brantley beat him by 2 seconds. Stage 1 was the first stage of Day 2 and Brantley started off that day where he left off the day before with a stage win. Stage 1 was the stage that was two string. The first string was freestyle and strong hand. String two was freestyle and weak hand. We dissect them both. www.casualshooterpodcast.com Brantley's YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqVIDR8UR6Rm18-H2HuNXwg

This week, I get the privilege of talking with Brantley Merriam. Brantley was 4th at Carry Optics Nationals.

Team Canik shooter, Frank Xu, was approached in Taiwan about coaching/training the Taiwan IDPA Team coming over to shoot IDPA Nationals. Basically, he said, "Challenge accepted!" but in Mandarin Chinese. These shooters are basically airsoft team members. Gun ownership is banned in Taiwan. He trained the 4 of them and they took home 6 awards, including most accurate iron sight shooter. I would say, "Mission Accomplished!" but in my normal American accent. This is a great episode!

This is all about MMA. More will be coming in the future. Dave hosted Lane Gries and Joel Bernardo. Comments/feedback is appreciated.

This Special Episode kicks off Season 2. Justine was kind enough to come on the show and talk about Nationals and how she was able to pull it off. Morgan Leonhardt (2021 Women's Champ) and her literally battled it out to the very last stage. Ashley Rheuark (Team Glock) was breathing down their necks the entire time. She kicked a last second field goal to win the game! Hahaha. Both women are very young and this battle is set for years to come. Their is a story of sportsmanship that is incredible.
