Bringing the clay-target world to life with real insight from the shooters, coaches, clubs, and brands leading Sporting Clays, FITASC, Trap, and Skeet — and we’re just as deep in the hunting world. From waterfowl to big-game adventures, gear talk, and the traditions that keep hunters going season after season, we cover it all. If you love the culture, the grind, and the feeling of breaking targets or being out in the woods or flooded timber, this is your front-row seat to the people, stories, and ideas pushing both shooting sports and hunting forward.
A highly accomplished and adaptable shooter, he has earned numerous major titles across both junior and senior divisions, proudly representing England and Great Britain on many international stages. What began as casual outings to local gun clubs with his father and friends around the age of 10 quickly developed into a deep passion. By 19, he had claimed the coveted Masters title, and by 21, he had captured every junior championship in both World Sporting and FITASC. His success carried over into the senior ranks, where he continued to add to his medal count, including victories at the Beretta World Sporting in 2019 and the Clay Shooting Classic in 2022. His impressive résumé also features silver finishes at the English Open Sporting, English Open Compak, UK Open Compak, and the British Grand Prix FITASC.

Welcome to California Clays, your home for all things competitive shotgun sports.
As an amateur competitor and passionate student of the game, Henning Mathew dives into the world of clay shooting through interviews with some of the best to ever point a shotgun.
He interviews World, National, and State Champions, their coaches, and key figures across the industry.
They explore the techniques, stories, and insights that fuel the sports we all love, from Sporting Clays to FITASC, Helice, Trap, Skeet, and the International disciplines.
If you enjoy learning and celebrating the world of competitive shooting, make sure to Subscribe for new videos and conversations from California and beyond.
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.
Our days are busy. Professional, family and personal obligations fill our schedules. You’re invited to take A Break in the Action of your day and escape to a place filled with sights of highly figured walnut and rich, vibrant case-color hardening. Intoxicating scents of wood smoke from a perfectly laid fire and spent shotshells fill the air. The only deals we broker are for new-to-us shotguns and our only appointments are for chilly mornings and impatient bird dogs. Here, our currency is memories and we consider ourselves wealthy.
The goal here is simple, to provide a place to escape, a place to learn, a place to reminisce, and a place to relax – be it through our podcast or social sites. Our focus will reliably be on vintage and modern shotguns, best-in-quality gear, accessories, and experiences that complement the sporting lifestyle.
Our days are busy… take A Break in the Action.
In this episode of A Break in the Action, Ryan takes listeners inside the process of building what he believes is the ultimate modern bird hunting rig (for the way he hunts) — not as a showcase of gear for gear’s sake, but as a thoughtful system shaped by years of traveling to hunt upland birds with dogs. From choosing the right platform and topper to organizing equipment with a DECKED drawer system, Dakota 283 kennels, and modular storage solutions, this episode explores how comfort, simplicity, organization, and dog safety ultimately became the guiding principles behind the build. Along the way, Ryan reflects on the realities of long highway miles, changing weather, hunting camps, early mornings, and the countless small details that shape life on the road during bird season.
But this episode is about more than just trucks and equipment. It’s really a conversation about the traveling wingshooter lifestyle itself — the routines, systems, and lessons that slowly develop after enough seasons chasing birds across the country. Ryan also discusses transporting and caring for dogs during long trips, managing heat and cold, water storage lessons learned the hard way, and why consistency matters so much when traveling with bird dogs. Whether you hunt from a truck, SUV, trailer, or something entirely different, this episode is intended less as a blueprint to copy and more as an invitation to rethink your own approach to life on the road during bird season.

Listen in as Zach Nannini & Richard Marshall Jr. talk trapshooting with the legends, the games top shots and more!
Jason Johnson joins Trap Talk for Episode 177, and this one covers a little bit of everything: trapshooting, military service, family, mindset, sleep, and why coming back to the sport can be just as exciting as starting young.
Zach Nannini and Richard Marshall Jr. sit down with Jason, a Texas trapshooter, military veteran, and part of the family behind Johnson’s Furniture, Appliance & Mattress, a new sponsor of the show. Jason talks about growing up around trapshooting, pulling targets, watching great shooters, serving 23 years in the military, and eventually finding his way back to registered trapshooting as a way to make memories with his dad and family.
The guys get into the mental side of shooting, including box breathing, pre-shot routines, music on the line, slowing down under pressure, and why one bad mount should be a reset instead of a lost target. Jason also shares what he learned from the Nevada State Shoot, the fun of events like the Back Fence Shootout, and why the ATA needs more energy, more excitement, and more opportunities for everyday shooters to win something and feel part of the action.
They also dive into a topic most trapshooters ignore: sleep. Jason explains why a good mattress matters when you are traveling, shooting long programs, living out of an RV, or trying to stay sharp over several days of competition. From Tempur-Pedic mattresses to RV setups and white-glove delivery, this episode makes a strong case that better rest can lead to better performance.
This is a great conversation for shooters getting back into the game, new ATA members, traveling competitors, and anyone who knows that trapshooting is about more than just breaking targets.
