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.

Ryan Harper and Joe Pinchin as juniors, were on the Young Guns team from Florida, where they shared much success. Both are outstanding young men that are respectful, helpful, and courteous. However, when they are together, it is full on comedy hour! Although they both held back a little bit in this episode, they were both fun to have on the show and to find out where they are at in their lives. Joe and Ryan were both guest of the show a few years back and a lot has changed for them, so it was great to catch up, and have a few laughs!

New episode with Cliff Seibert of Northbrook Sports Club and Sporting Clays Nation.
Cliff is not only a competitive shooter, but is deeply involved in one of the premier clubs in the country. He is also one of the voices helping tell the story of our sport through podcasting. We had a fun conversation about shooting, the sport, podcasting, different interview styles, and what keeps people engaged in clay target shooting.
This was a good one and I think you guys will 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.
When people hear the phrase American Best, it’s natural to think of a comparison— specifically to the traditional best guns of the London trade.
And in some ways, that comparison makes sense. The British defined the term. They built the guns that set the standard, and their influence still shapes how we think about fine sporting arms today.
But the more time you spend studying American doubles, the more you realize that comparison only goes so far.
American gunmakers weren’t working in the same world. They built for different customers, different markets, and different expectations. Their guns came from factories, not small London shops. They were sold from catalogs, not fitting rooms. And they were designed to be used hard in the field—not just admired for their craftsmanship.
And yet, when those same makers set out to build their very best—when they pushed their designs, their materials, and their workmanship to the highest level—they produced shotguns that stand with anything made in their time.
Not copies of London best guns or substitutes for them, but distinctly American answers to the same challenge.
In this episode, we explore what American Best really means through the lens of five legendary makers: L.C. Smith, Parker Brothers, A.H. Fox, Ithaca, and Lefever—and the different paths each one took to define excellence in their own way.

In Episode 174 of Trap Talk, Zach and Ricky sit down with George DeCosta, world-renowned dog trainer, author, hunter, and clinician, for a fascinating conversation about bird dogs, upland hunting, training philosophy, and what it takes to perform at a high level. From his roots in Maui, Hawaii, to becoming one of the most respected names in dog training, George shares the life experiences, discipline, and passion that shaped his career.
This episode goes way beyond dogs. It’s a deep conversation about consistency, repetition, discipline, safety, passion, and the connection between hunter and dog. George talks about how everyday habits build elite performance, why wild birds teach lessons planted birds never can, and how working with dogs at a high level mirrors success in any serious pursuit.
In this episode, the guys talk about:
- George DeCosta’s background and how he got started with dogs and hunting
- Growing up in Maui and learning from family
- The difference between hunting dogs, test dogs, and trial dogs
- Bird dog training, steadiness, recall, and everyday repetition
- Safety in the field for hunters and dogs
- Why discipline and consistency matter in dog training and life
