Matt is joined by Wayne Savage, creator of BrassTrack, an Australian-developed platform designed to help shooters organise and keep track of their shooting and reloading data.Wayne's journey into shooting quickly became a family affair, with his daughters joining him in competitive benchrest shooting. As he became more involved in the technical side of the sport, he found himself recording more and more information — and realised that scribbling notes on pieces of paper wasn't exactly the best long-term system.When he couldn't find something that suited what he wanted from an Australian perspective, he decided to build it himself.In this episode, Wayne explains the story behind Brass Track and how it can help shooters organise their range sessions, load development, targets, equipment and other important information in one place. We also discuss some of the additional features Wayne has incorporated, including equipment and barrel tracking, inventory management, a community section and the ability for shooters to share information and learn from each other.From there, the conversation dives into the rabbit hole that is precision shooting.We talk about rifle harmonics, ammunition selection, barrel tuners, group sizes, reading wind, consistency and just how much seemingly tiny variables can influence what happens downrange.Wayne also shares his experiences competing in benchrest and fly shooting, including travelling to Wagga for competition and the friendly rivalry he now has with his daughters — who are already giving Dad a serious run for his money!That leads into a great discussion about shooting as a family sport and the supportive community surrounding competition shooting. We talk about getting kids outdoors, away from screens and involved in something that requires patience, concentration and continual improvement.Matt and Wayne also get into the psychological side of shooting. Why does that final shot of a great group sometimes seem to go flying? Why can you occasionally shoot better when you're not trying so hard? And how much does overthinking affect what happens behind the rifle?There's also plenty of discussion about equipment, scopes, upgrading gear, hunting rifles versus dedicated precision setups and why you don't necessarily need to spend a fortune when you're first getting started.Finally, we return to Brass Track and the role technology could play in the future of shooting. Wayne explains how the platform can help keep information organised and accessible, while Matt and Wayne discuss both the opportunities and potential limitations of emerging technology and AI within highly technical areas such as reloading.Whether you're into hunting, recreational target shooting, benchrest, precision shooting or you're considering getting into reloading, there's plenty in this conversation about improving your shooting, learning from others and making better use of the information you collect along the way.For the latest information, news, giveaways and anything mentioned on the show, you can find all the links here.

Then vs Now: What 10 Years Changed About Fitness, Business & Life Before Greggy Dillon built his own gym in Wagga, got married and had kids, he was managing Reborn through its chaotic, no-systems, figure-it-out-as-you-go early years. In this episode, Pat sits down with Trav and Greggy to look back at the old Reborn days — the mistakes, the growth nobody could explain, and the stuff that would never fly today — before tracking what happened next: Greggy going from employee to gym owner himself, and everything that taught him about running a business, building community and keeping people around for years instead of weeks. They get into why some members stay for a decade and others last ten weeks, what actually makes someone good with people (and whether that can be taught), and why Greggy — a guy who's uncomfortable on camera — has still built a business people genuinely love. It closes out personal: three dads who can't just train like normal people, why they keep signing up for stupid challenges, and what they hope is different — or exactly the same — in another 10 years. See you in 2036.
