Discussion Topic:

My name is Brett and I’m a fan of your podcasts. I live in Lansdale, Pa Montco County so I’m in the same relative area as you. I listen to most of the shows on the GRRN and was excited to see a local show and with Pa being a pretty big state It’s even more cool that your in my neck of the woods. I have two questions for you after listening to
Episode 44.

The first is where can I go to get started in shooting matches, And what are the basics in getting started? I’m 28 and have been shooting pistols for 3 years now and the main gun I use is a stock Beretta 92fs. I practice 2-3 times a week at the state game lands in Allentown and practice at 50 yards being that’s the shortest range they have and I’ve got good at that distance.

Once a month I go to an indoor range to practice close range shooting. Do I need to be
sponsored to shoot and if so would there be an option to join Team Custom Gun Finishes or is that a private team? Any insight and information would be much appreciated either in a future episode or a return e-mail. Thanks for what you do for the shooting sports and love the show keep up the good work!
Brett

Walt

My name is Walt White and I've been riding motorcycles on and off since my early twenties. After more than a decade away from the sport, I came back - and I've been making up for lost time ever since. Based in Southeast Pennsylvania, I write and create videos about real motorcycle ownership: the bikes I ride, the gear I test, the roads I explore, and the community I've found along the way. I ride a 2022 Yamaha MT-09 SP and a 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 400, and I try to give you the honest take you'd get from a friend rather than a press release. I'm also a husband, dad to three girls, and a pitbull owner - which keeps life interesting off the bike too.

    A very cool pic of me in the same stage (the pic is cool, I shoot meh!)

    Every club has its own particularities, but more or less we follow the same pattern. Safety First, fun a close second.
