Jonny Carter - Host of TGS Outdoors

Today I’m joined by Jonny Carter, the host of TGS Outdoors, one of the most recognizable shotgun and shooting lifestyle channels on YouTube. Jonny is a former gunsmith who somehow turned his love of shotguns, shooting culture and storytelling into a career that has taken him all over the world. Through TGS, he has documented everything from beautiful guns and incredible shooting grounds to the people, traditions, and characters that make the shotgun world so unique. In this conversation, I wanted to learn more about Jonny’s background, how he went from gunsmith to YouTuber and what he has learned after spending time with some of the best shooters, coaches, gunmakers, and industry people in the game. This was a fun one, and I think you’re really going to enjoy it.

David Radulovich - 2017 World FITASC Champion

I sat down with David Radulovich, a former World FITASC and US Open Champion. We discussed David's shooting journey, equipment evolution, and shooting philosophy. David explained how he recently switched guns after 11 years with his Perazzi Hi-Tech setup. He described how the new gun's different weight distribution and thinner rib design better complement his shooting style and ability. The conversation also touched on David's approach to practice and we explored the differences between thinking-based and feeling-based shooting styles. We talk about how developing emotional maturity can help your shooting and what makes FITASC the "most complete shotgun discipline". Hope you enjoy!

This was a good one and I think you guys will enjoy it.
