Bruce Gray is a well-known gunsmith and competitive shooter who has been involved in the firearms industry for over 40 years. He is known for his expertise in building high-performance custom firearms and has worked with many law enforcement and military agencies to develop custom firearms for their needs. Gray's interest in firearms began in his early teens when he started shooting with his father. He later went on to serve in the United States Army and worked as a police officer in California. During this time, he became increasingly interested in firearms and began tinkering with his own guns, eventually leading him to pursue a career as a gunsmith. Gray has worked with a number of firearms manufacturers over the years, including Kimber, Springfield Armory, and Sig Sauer. He is perhaps best known for his work on 1911-style pistols, which he has customized for competitive shooters, law enforcement agencies, and military units. He is also known for his work on the Sig Sauer P320, which he has modified for competition use. In addition to his work as a gunsmith, Gray is a highly accomplished competitive shooter. He has won numerous national and international shooting competitions, including the Steel Challenge, the USPSA Open Nationals, and the IPSC World Shoot. He is also a sought-after instructor and has trained law enforcement officers and military personnel in the use of firearms. Gray continues to be active in the firearms industry and remains a respected figure in the competitive shooting community. He is known for his attention to detail and his commitment to providing high-quality custom firearms that meet the needs of his clients. In this episode, Bruce talks about: –How he tested the P320 for “out of battery” shooting and what his results were. –What he recommends is the best spring set for shooting the P320. –How he is incorporating new training methods to rethink his shooting.

In this episode, we spoke to Becky and Tim Yackley about their background in competitive shooting sports and their most recent successes at the IPSC World Shoot.

On today's episode of the TFB Behind the Gun Podcast, I've brought on Chun to talk about the IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation) 2022 World Shoot. IPSC is a shooting sport that everyone across the globe can participate in but is still not very well known to those outside of the competition sphere. IPSC takes a lot of inspiration from its close American-only counterpart the USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association). Apart from some technical differences between the two, both IPSC and USPSA pit shooting competitors against one another in a test of both accuracy and speed (referred to as hit factor). While USPSA only takes place up to a national level, IPSC World Shoot takes it a step further and occurs once every 4 years on the world stage. In essence, the IPSC is the gun equivalent of the Olympics. Today my guest Chun, who is an IPSC participant, tells us all about the competition, what kind of gear he uses, and what other potential competitors can expect to experience if they attend a world shoot outside of their home country. Please welcome Chun to the program!  Chun's YouTube Channel - This is where Chun posts all of his match content including his runs at every stage during the 2022 IPSC World Shoot. 

This week, Huggy and I speak with Shannon Smith about USPSA, IPSC World Shoot and his evil ways when it comes to stage design. It was fun talking to him about shooting challenges and all of the forethought that goes into stage design.   www.casualshooterpodcast.com

Welcome back to the Firearms Nation Podcast.  Imagine you start competing in the shooting sports about 4 years ago.  Imagine you decide to start shooting shotgun exclusively in competition.  Imagine you go to the IPSC World Shoot for Shotgun earlier this month and finally, imagine waking up on June 11th to find out your the World Champion.  Josh Froelich didn’t have to imagine any of this…he lived it. Josh always had a competitive gene in his body that made him play sports growing up.  In fact he supported himself and paid for college not by working at a fast food restaurant but by fighting professionally in MMA.  But something happened in 2014.  Josh decided he wanted to be better at shooting and went to his local IDPA match and the shooting gene kicked in.  Fast forward a second and it’s June 2018 where he’s standing on the podium in France representing his country as a gold medal winner in the Open Division. I get to talk to Josh about his journey and the World Shoot.  We also discuss the little things like how he won matches and how to shoot the dot in Open or Carry Optics, and of course..how to be fast (which is why you’re  in Open anyways). I found Josh to be down to Earth as most people from the Mid-West tend to be.  Hardworking, devoted and willing to get the job done with a bunch of practice.  Links mentioned in the episode: https://www.facebook.com/onlyshootopen/ Please SUBSCRIBE to the podcast! ..Join the Nation!

I have to tell you there are not many people that make me feel old, but when I was talking to today's guest, well that thought came into my mind.  The young Mason Lane, who is one of the top competitors in the country, has accomplished so many titles and yet is only in his early twenties.  You would think that someone so young would be arrogant and misbehaved but Mason comes from a disciplined family and was an Eagle Scout.  Ideals that I fear are becoming out of vogue and corny for some but I respect him for the path he is following. Mason also had a great year. I recently was able to bring on a bunch of competitors, specifically in action pistol who put in a huge amount of practice and work.  Each one of them had the opportunity to go to the IPSC World Shoot which only happens every three years.  But I was very interested to hear Mason's journey as he is pretty young to be shooting on the world stage.  Luckily for Mason, he is also sponsored by the Sig Sauer Academy in New Hampshire.  The Sig Sauer Academy is one of the top training facilities in the United States and offer a ton of classes on a variety of shooting disciplines. Three takeaways from today's show are 1) why you need to use emotion in order to motivate you in training 2) why dry fire will take a so-so shooter and make them better and 3) to remember that if you are not having a good match or suck in practice, no one is going to remember that..but you. Mason might be young but has a lot of great material.

Part II of the IPSC World Shoot experience.

Last weekend there was a triathlon here in my little town, and we got to people watch a lot of folks cycling past our neighborhood. Cycling is my first love. Far and away above shooting, and I really cannot wait until I’m healed up enough to get back in the saddle. One guy in particular came riding by, and he stuck me as a little odd, and then I thought the things he was doing related well to a lot of the things people do in the shooting sports as well. Dude rides by. Full on triathlon kit. Not unusual. Tight lycra suit, bright colors, and a fancy Time Trial helmet. Not a regular bike helmet with the vents and stuff that everyone and their brother wears, but a TT helmet. You know, those helmets that are like tear drop shaped to make you more aero, and they stick way out past the back of your head like 12” for more aerodynamics? Again, not terribly unusual for someone to wear one at a high level of competition. However, he was riding a hybrid bicycle. If you’re not familiar with a hybrid, at a high level, they’re like a mountain bike, with skinnier road bike tires. They’re handy for transportation, but they don’t really excel at anything. They’re the Honda Civic of bicycles. He was also wearing tennis shoes and using flat pedals. As a cyclist, I can tell you, that being clipped into your pedals is one of the best things you can do for efficiency. This guy bought all the fancy “look fast” gear, but didn’t invest in any of the actual “go fast” gear. The money spent on the fancy helmet would have been far better spend on clip-less pedals and cycling shoes. I’m not gonna dog on the bike itself, because I always tell people to go compete with what they’ve got, and maybe this guy was doing just that, and that’s great. So, I give you this lesson on cycling to tell you about shooting. A while back I had a question from a newer shooter asking which type of holster to buy for his gun. He was shooting outlaw type matches, and wasn’t sure which type of race holster to buy. My advice was to just get a kydex rig from whoever because the holster wasn’t what was holding him back in his shooting, and he’d be better off spending $50 on a solid holster that’ll work for whatever game he decided to play instead of spending $200 on a holster that wouldn’t work if he decided to shoot Production or Carry Optics or IDPA in the future. I’m not sure what he bought, but per our emails, I suspect he went ahead and bought a $200 race holster... Mostly because that’s what he wanted all along. This isn’t a problem, you should shoot whatever you want, but don’t think that a piece of gear like this is really going to make you better. I think that he was under the impression that everyone, given the chance would shoot a race holster and not a kydex holster, but people just shoot the kydex rigs because they have to per division requirements. This is the case for a lot of people, but I also think a lot of people who shoot with race holsters do it because it’s the defacto standard for their division and most of them probably can’t tell you how much of an advantage they actually get from the holster. I also think most of them would have been better off putting that $150 they would have saved towards some instruction or ammo, or whatever. Again, I’m not against race holsters, and that’s not what this episode is about. My point here is that before you go spend a bunch of money on something, make sure that it’s a thing that you're actually going to get your pay value for. The guy in the triathlon would have been FAR better off with clipless pedals and good cycling shoes. Then lighter tires, and finally, a better bike. I used to be involved in the 4x4 scene a bit a decade or so ago, and it was the same thing. People wanted to buy the big lift kit, and the big tires, but nobody wanted to re-gear the axles, or add sway-bar disconnects. People wanted to add lift blocks instead of getting new springs, etc. The same thing happens with shooting. People want the lift kit and the big tires. They want the fancy race helmet, and the brightly colored shirt, because new sights aren’t sexy. Practice isn’t sexy. It’s hard work. It takes time and it’s expensive. However, if you don’t want to suck, it’s the road you’ve got to take. Join the Super Squad! Want more podcasts and bonus content? Consider joining the Super Squad. Q&A: Mike asked a question in last weeks Q&A show that I didn't get to during the live show.  "Any tips for shooting with a weapon mounted light?" Yes. There's not a lot to it, it's basically like shooting in the daylight, however, make sure you know how NOT to activate the strobe mode should your light have that, because turning it on accidentally during a night match will mess with you. Other than that, there's really not a lot to them. I like my Streamlight TLR-1, because as a right handed shooter I can use the switch kind of like a gas pedal for controlling recoil.  If you've got questions, shoot me an email at luke@triangletactical.net, and make sure to join me on Thursday nights at 9PM EST on Facebook live every week! Plugs of the Week: This episode of Firearms Nation Podcast with Shannon Smith was really good. I love Shannon's own podcast, but hearing him interviewed was great. They talk a lot about the IPSC World Shoot 2017.  This episode of the 3-Gun Show with Matt Martini was really good. I might have like it a *little bit* because it stroked my ego just a little when Matt talked about how if you can hang with the big dogs at matches here in the Carolinas, you can shoot with anybody. He also has some interesting thoughts on practice, and keeping track of his cold times on drills, as well as his fastest times. Good stuff, definitely worth a listen. 

Part one of two describing the World Championship of shooting. IPSC World Shoot.

My guest this week is Shannon Smith.  Shannon just got back from the 2017 World Shoot in France.  The IPSC World Shoot takes place every three years and it's comparable to the Olympics of the action shooting world.  Shannon is a grand master shooter in USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association) shooting both open division (that's the race guns with red dots on them) and limited division. Shannon is a National Champion in USPSA, a US Steel National Champion and Pro Am Champion. In addition he is a 8 time Florida State Champion, and finished 3rd in the world in 2008 and 12th this year. He is a professional shooter and works as the match director at the Universal Shooting Academy in Frostproof, FL. Before he ventured into competitive shooting, Shannon was in the Army in Special Operations as a Ranger.  There he was involved in small unit tactics, firearms training and attended several major schools. In this podcast we learn what it means to manage a match when shooting a competition.  What you should shoot the match your NOT ready for.  And, what's more important to be a champion, skills or a mental game. I'm excited to get this podcast out, so without further adieu, here is my interview with Shannon Smith… Links mentioned in the podcast: http://www.shannonsmithshooting.com/ http://universalshootingacademy.com/ https://www.blackscorpiongear.com/ Also, Click here for the 2016 Shooter's Summit to get 23 of these kind of interviews with the top firearms instructors! shooterssummit.com And don't forget you can connect with Firearms Nation or just stop by and say hi on these social media links: Facebook  www.facebook.com/firearmsnation Twitter  twitter.com/Firearms_Nation YouTube http://www.youtube.com/c/firearmsnation Instagram http://www.instagram.com/firearms_nation Or on the web at: www.firearmsnation.com (sign up to get your free ebook!)

Experienced shooters have a duty to help new shooters at their first match.  Before the stage brief is read on your first stage, ask if there are any new shooters on your squad. Once everyone knows who the brand new shooters are, and eliminates the concern about giving advice to someone who's been shooting for 10 years, and just hasn't really made any progress.  Match Directors could start a sort of "ambassador" program, where shooters volunteer right in Practiscore to be an ambassador for new shooters, and then maybe they get $5 off their match fee for taking a new shooter under their wing for the day.  It’s important to “coach” new shooters before their run on the stage about any 180 traps, some pointers about how to move through certain areas, minding their muzzle on reloads when moving right to left, because DQing new shooters sucks.  I don’t think this needs to, or even should rest solely on the RO. The RO has a lot more going on trying to run shooters, score targets, etc, and I think there's a lot of time on a stage for a more experienced shooter to help out while the RO is doing his thing without distraction. IPSC World Shoot: So the IPSC World Shoot starts on Sunday in France. There are about 5ish people that I know of who are regular podcast listeners who are competing in the World Shoot, and I wanted to wish all of you the best of luck, and those of you on Team USA just a little more luck than the rest...  Make us proud!  Patreon: I've had a few listeners express concern about Patreon, and how there have been headlines recently about how they're "banning conservatives", etc. I like to do my due diligence on things, so I've read a bunch on what happened with the people they have banned, and the thing that really made me feel most comfortable about keeping Patreon as a support model for the show was this episode of the Reuben Report, where he interviews the CEO of Patreon, and actually asks the hard questions. I was satisfied with the answers he received, and it's what really swayed me about keeping the Patreon page active. https://youtu.be/ofpbDgCj9rw If you haven't checked out the Triangle Tactical Patreon, I've been doing a VLOG over there about everything I'm doing to get ready for the NC State Championship in a couple weeks, in addition to the NewsBlast Podcast check them out on Patreon.   

Robert Vogel and Jessica Hook are quite the power couple.  Robert (Bob) is a world champion competitive shooter.  He competes in both USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association) and IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association).  Bob also shoots for Team USA in the IPSC World Shoot.  Bob has won 3 world championships, 23 national championships and also had time to be a full time law enforcement officer in Ohio where he was a firearms instructor and SWAT operator.  Bob retired from law enforcement and competes full time as a professional shooter.  He has made several videos on pistol shooting and now teaches across the world with his company Vogel Dynamics. Several years ago he was introduced to Jessica Hook who was a game designer.  Jessica met champion shooter Taran Butler and soon began shooting under his banner (Taran Tactical Innovations) along side an all female shooting team.  TTI's ladies team is not just pretty faces.  They are constantly winning titles from pistol competition to 3 Gun. It was interesting to get to know both Bob and Jessica as they both work in the shooting world.  It's hard to maintain a relationship with the demands of competition and training, plus the extra attention Jessica gets as a female shooter.
