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.

It seems nowadays that there a lot of coaches coming out with their own app. But what about an app that anyone, including coaches, can use with their students? What if someone just wanted to do their own journaling, record keeping, and track their own progress, regardless of coach? Meet Matthew Burlingame, who has created the Breakin' Clays App! Matthew is somewhat new to the game, but saw a definitive need for the app, not only for sporting clays, but trap, skeet, and the various disciplines within sporting clays, like 5 stand, FITASC, etc.. Chad Roberts co-hosts this episode as we dive into what the app does, what the future plans for the app are, how much it cost, and so much more! Breakin' Clays App – https://breakinclays.com/

I recorded this episode on November 17th with Olympian Derrick Mein, fresh off his 2nd place finish at the 2025 U.S. National Sporting Clays Championship.
In this episode, we debrief the shoot from Derrick’s perspective, how he evaluated the courses, managed pressure, and talked himself through the event to earn a podium finish at Nationals.
We also get inside the mind of Derrick a former Olympian, World and National Champion as he shares how this performance fits into his preparation for the 2028 Olympic Games.
If you want insight into an elite-level mindset and competing at the highest level, this one delivers.
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, I sit down with Simon Reinhold of Holt’s Auctioneers for a deep dive into the history of the British gun trade and the remarkable craftsmen whose names have faded from common conversation. While makers like Purdey, Holland & Holland, and Boss are widely recognized today, the development of the modern sporting shotgun was shaped by dozens of inventors, provincial makers, and trade specialists whose work laid the foundation for everything that followed. Together, Simon and I discuss the extraordinary burst of innovation that took place in the second half of the nineteenth century.
Along the way, the conversation turns to the enduring appeal of these lesser-known guns, how to recognize quality craftsmanship even when the name on the rib isn’t familiar, and why many of these makers deserve a second look from modern shooters and collectors. This episode is both a historical overview and a reminder that the story of fine gunmaking is far bigger than the handful of famous names most of us know.

Listen in as Zach Nannini & Richard Marshall Jr. talk trapshooting with the legends, the games top shots and more!
In Episode 167 of Trap Talk, Zach Nannini and Richard Marshall Jr. sit down with Dawn Grant — mental performance coach, certified hypnotist, and owner of Amelia Shotgun Sports in northeast Florida.
Dawn shares how she went from psychology student to working with PGA Tour pros like Vijay Singh, helping him break an 18-month slump and win $13 million in one month. A local sporting clays shooter introduced her to the shotgun world, and she's been helping clay shooters ever since — working with names like Wendell Cherry and John Woolley.
The conversation digs deep into:
the difference between conscious and subconscious mind — and why that matters for shooters
why trap shooters already know the mental game is 90% of the battle
visualization techniques and how Frank Hoppy had a 14-year-old Ricky Marshall breaking 100 targets in his mind before bed
what hypnosis actually is — and what it isn't (no, she can't poke around in your secrets)
a live breathing and visualization exercise that kept Zach and Ricky quiet for three straight minutes (a Trap Talk record)
why bringing your attention to your breath and the details on the target keeps your conscious mind out of trouble
Dawn also breaks down the alpha and theta brainwave states, explains why you shouldn't change your mechanics the day before an event, and talks about how confidence with humility is the sweet spot for peak performance.
If you've ever choked in a shoot-off, talked yourself out of a good run, or just want to understand what's happening between your ears when the pressure's on — this episode is for you.
