What every sporting clays shooter
wants to hear.

The new Gray Rose Company, (jointly founded by Dominic Bethel and Carl Holland), is a premium shotgun dealer and, the USA importer of Manuel Ricardo Stocks. We sit down with Carl, who has now began the process of fitting shooters to stocks, under the expert tutelage of Ben Husthwaite. Ben and Carl discuss the stock fitting process, how Carl will offer his services across the USA, and what it means to have a Manuel Ricardo stock. Carl also fills us in on all of the services that the Gray Rose offers, aside from fitting and stocks. While we had him there for part of the conversation, we pick Ben’s brain on his thoughts of the climate of sporting clays, and where he thinks things are headed.

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/

Full round table discussion with Brett Seibert, Neil Chadwick, Don Brunt, RAD Chad Roberts, and of course, Jason and Sean. Recently at a large shoot, there were a number of non-US citizens that competed, in what some feel, the wrong class. We discuss how, moving forward, we can verify their ability, and place them in the correct class, as well as possible new classification rules with the NSCA that will address the issues. The next issue that we address, on Feb 24,2026 there was a letter issued by FITASC concerning a Grand Prix to be held at Northbrook. We discuss what happened and what needs to happen moving forward.
