The Casual Shooter Podcast

This week, Leo and I talk to Hwansik Kim. He's a perennial Top 10 and co-founder of PSTG (Practical Shooting Training Group). As great of a shooter as he is, he does not care about winning a National championship. You will have to listen to hear what matters to him. www.casualshooterpodcast.com

This week, Huggy and I get the honor of speaking with Lynda Turnbull. She's the reigning Women's 2-Gun National Champion. We talk everything from her beginnings, to looking forward to defending her championship against Jalise Williams to the PCSL (Practical Competition Shooting League). As a bonus, we even talk geologic landmarks around her. Amazingly enough, this is her first ever appearance on a...

This week's guest is Chris Gelnett. He is an Area 8 USPSA shooter that won the VA State match. It was a bitter sweet experience because the VA State match was about 2.5 weeks before Open Nationals and he got a match bump to GM. He was actually at Huggy and Leo's first USPSA match ever and the hilarity ensues as we walk down memory lane with them. Like, comment and share!! www.casualshooterpodcast....

Gabby represented Venezuela at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, was a 1999 Pan American Games silver medalist, a 2000 South American Games gold medalist and 2002 South American Games three-time gold medalist shooter. You might say she's accomplished a few things. We compare driving in South America (Gabby), Central America (Leo)...

This was our first live broadcast. The three of us talked Carry Optics Nationals with video review. Huggy is talking about getting a Ruger Precision Rifle in 338 Lapua Magnum. So, we talked a little about rifles as well. There was live feedback as we went. We would like to thank Rick Powers and Driver8 (aka Racer X) for their input during the broadcast. www.casualshooterpodcast.com

This week, Leo and I speak with a very interesting guest. Robert Davis is an active duty Air Force Lieutenant Colonel. He primarily shoots International Smallbore Rifle and Air Rifle. However, he also shoots pistol, 3-gun, subgun, tactical matches and pretty much anything that has to do with pulling a trigger. Take a ride with us as we travel through Europe (figuratively speaking) and learn the Do...

Even at 2+ hours, we leave a lot of stones unturned. This episode could easily be 4 or 5 two-hour episodes. This is literally old-school and new-school talking about things that have changed and things that...

This week we talk to Mike Shatalov. He grew in in the Soviet Union, was rationed food as a kid, joined the US Army and jumped into Russia years later, became a high-level competitive parachutist and is now a Grand Master in the USPSA shooting production, which is dying out like the Soviet Union. We had a great time talking. So much so, we broke this one down into two episodes. Each episode is just...

This week, we focus on a different aspect of shooting. If you shot Area 8, you know how hot and muggy it was. I ran across a beverage that claimed to work 110% better than water. That beverage is HOIST. I, Dave, reached out to HOIST and Rachel Trotta accepted my invitation to be on the podcast and talk about it. It is, by far, the best hydration beverage I have ever drank. It will forever be the o...

Tune in to find out how he does it and his ultimate goal. Leo and I determine the...

This week, Leo and I talk to Ben Campomanes (Owner/CEO) and Sam Sutphin (Operations Manager) of LASR App. This is a very intriguing product. It uses a camera (webcam, cell phone, etc) to capture laser impulses from pistols. Not only that, the software has built in timers to record everything you do. With one camera, you can designate up to 20 targets. With wifi, you can link multiple cameras and r...

This week, Leo and I had the pleasure of interviewing the Williams sisters, Jalise and Justine. Between them, they have a world record, 9 national records, 39 national titles, 2 black belts in karate, they hunt, they fish and read Bill O'Reilly. What you won't find on their resume is dancing nor broccoli. Enjoy!   www.casualshooterpodcast.com
