This episode of DSC's Campfires with Larry Weishuhn features an engaging conversation with shotgun expert and instructor Cyle Foley, who shares his journey into the world of sporting clays and competitive shooting. Foley explains how a casual invitation to a charity shoot in 2015 sparked a deep passion that led him to become a certified instructor at the Dallas Gun Club and serve on the Texas State Board for the sport. The discussion centers on practical advice for newcomers to shotgun sports, emphasizing that the right firearm depends on the shooter's level of commitment. Foley highlights the importance of gun fit, noting that a properly fitted shotgun improves accuracy, reduces felt recoil, and allows for more natural movement and target acquisition. He often recommends semi-automatic shotguns—especially for beginners and youth shooters—because of their reduced recoil, simplicity, and versatility. Foley also draws a clear distinction between instruction and coaching: instruction focuses on mechanics and technique, while coaching dives deeper into mindset, strategy, and self-correction. He stresses that mastering fundamentals like mechanics and vision can dramatically improve performance, and that even a short session with a qualified instructor can accelerate progress significantly. The conversation touches on the dynamics of teaching, particularly within families, where Foley notes that children often respond better to outside instructors than to parents. He also reflects on how mental focus, life stress, and age affect learning and performance, with younger shooters often progressing more quickly due to fewer distractions. Beyond technique, Foley highlights the camaraderie and travel opportunities within the sporting clays community, describing unique shooting environments across the country and the strong relationships built through the sport. He also discusses equipment choices for youth shooters, recommending 12-gauge shotguns in many cases due to cost efficiency and adaptability, while cautioning against assumptions about recoil and smaller gauges like .410. The episode concludes with a look at Wing & Clay Life magazine, a publication Foley is involved with, which aims to bring storytelling, authenticity, and high-quality writing back into the shotgun and hunting media space—capturing not just the hunt, but the full experience surrounding it.

Now, the Dead Pair Podcast has partnered with the NSSF's PlusONE program to help incentivize those mentors, and reward them for taking new people out to bust some clays!  Listen in as we are joined by Justin Morrissey, Director of social media with the NSSF, and RAD Chad Roberts as we cover all the bases and bring you the 411 on this great program! - Kolar Arms - https://www.kolararms.com- Fiocchi USA - https://fiocchiusa.com                                                                                      - Gun & Trophy Insurance - https://gunandtrophy.com/                                                                - Atlas Traps - https://www.atlastraps.com- Rhino Chokes - https://rhinochokes.com- Ranger Shooting Eyewear - https://www.reranger.comRanger 10% Discount = DEADPAIR10- Taconic Distillery - https://www.spirits.taconicdistillery.com/  Discount -DEADPAIR10- Long Range - https://www.longrangellc.com- Score Chaser - https://scorechaser.com/- NSSF Plus One - https://www.nssf.org/plusone/                                                              - Clay Range Design Works - https://traptowers.comSupport the showThe Dead Pair Podcast - https://thedeadpair.com FACEBOOK- https://www.facebook.com/Thedeadpair.

Send us a textIf you are a relatively new shooter, you may recognize the names Cyrus and/or Ashleigh Alexander from Shotgun Gear Trap rentals, as they are often at large events across the country helping organize events, as well as providing equipment and setting targets. However, if you have been in sporting clays for a little while, you will recognize Ashleigh as a multi-time, Ladies World, National, and US Open champion! From a very young age, Ashleigh found great success, along with the help of coaches like Wendall Cherry, at the very top of the game! She was also inducted into the NSCA Hall of Fame in 2024. However, do not think for a second that Cyrus himself doesn't know how to shoot! Cyrus was a young shooter that competed through college and also had some success. Even still, as their business, married life, and now parents of a young child, have kept them busy, they still love competing!  This was a fun episode with lots of insights from two fierce competitors, industry icons, and truly great people!DEAD PAIR / KOLAR DRAWING - https://e.givesmart.com/events/HpS/i/_All/u1g0/?search=                                                                                                                                     -- Kolar Arms - https://www.kolararms.com- Fiocchi USA - https://fiocchiusa.com                                                                                      - Gun & Trophy Insurance - https://gunandtrophy.com/                                                                - Atlas Traps - https://www.atlastraps.com- Rhino Chokes - https://rhinochokes.com- Ranger Shooting Eyewear - https://www.reranger.comRanger 10% Discount = DEADPAIR10- Taconic Distillery - https://www.spirits.taconicdistillery.com/  Discount -DEADPAIR10- Long Range - https://www.longrangellc.com- Score Chaser - https://scorechaser.com/- National Sporting Clays Association - https://nssa-nsca.org/- Clay Range Design Works - https://traptowers.comSupport the showThe Dead Pair Podcast - https://thedeadpair.com FACEBOOK- https://www.facebook.com/Thedeadpair.

Send us a text     Ever wondered what it's like for a top pro, from a third party perspective? Someone that's with that person in day to day life, in and out of the tournament? What are they thinking? What are their struggles? What are their coping mechanisms? What do they do for fun?  What is day to day life like outside of competing?  How do they change as a person when competing?          We welcome Rick Webb, father of Hunter Webb, and mentor to both Hunter and Brandon Powell.  Rick is there with these two competitors, day in and day out. We thought it would be great to hear from someone that has seen a side of these 2 men that you may never hear. Even from the men themselves! DEAD PAIR / KOLAR DRAWING - https://e.givesmart.com/events/HpS/i/_All/u1g0/?search=                                                                                                                                     -- Kolar Arms - https://www.kolararms.com- Fiocchi USA - https://fiocchiusa.com                                                                                      - Gun & Trophy Insurance - https://gunandtrophy.com/                                                                       - Atlas Traps - https://www.atlastraps.com- Rhino Chokes - https://rhinochokes.com- Ranger Shooting Eyewear - https://www.reranger.comRanger 10% Discount = DEADPAIR10- Taconic Distillery - https://www.spirits.taconicdistillery.com/  Discount -DEADPAIR10- Long Range - https://www.longrangellc.com- Score Chaser - https://scorechaser.com/- National Sporting Clays Association - https://nssa-nsca.org/- Clay Range Design Works - https://traptowers.comSupport the showThe Dead Pair Podcast - https://thedeadpair.com FACEBOOK- https://www.facebook.com/Thedeadpair.
