    And his 2024 is shaping up pretty good!
    One thing I kinda get from hearing Brandon talk is that he enjoys the comradery and having a good time. I understand some people aren't really out there to have a good time with each other. Seems to me, he has a big personality, but gets deadly serious in the second of shooting, but loves the feedback of the people and friends around him.
    Seems he's not everyone's cup of tea, but he's a big part of the game right now.

    • @claylabusa
      @claylabusa  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The ability to mentally transition from good time to professional competitor is definitely an impressive ability of his to witness. Having a great personality and being talkative, then switching over to being a ruthless clay target killing machine has got to be challenge lol

    Matarese is a genius when it comes to looking at the game analytically and being able to teach by explaining those fundamentals to people because that's how he things it though. I think Brandon is more "feel" and it will be hard for him to communicate that to others. I think Anthony's web and video training is top notch that more should emulate in the industry. I'll be very interested to see how Brandon's style can be translated in a more Anthony Matarese type platform. 🙂

    • @claylabusa
      @claylabusa  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Would love to try to capture that and will try one day. That science and "feel" discussion is definitely an important one. I would concur that the "feel" portion of the game is the most difficult part of the game to get across to anyone in both of their shooting styles as all the information is out there on how to break a target but how one applies their knowledge comes from "feel" and that comes from experience in my opinion.

    Such a great interview. So much info brought in such a clear, concise manner. It would be awesome to see a “super squad” coaching scenario. I would loved to be paired with 2 or 3 phenoms and just focus on GOOD practice with realtime opinions of different great shooters.

      These guys were great to work with for sure. Will be sure to keep the videos coming. Thanks for the feedback. Some clinics the the pros offer can kind of feel like what your getting after but it's usually two pros that work together to teach a group of students for half the day and then switch pros in the afternoon. Hard part is not all students being the same level.

      @saranpau Barrel buldged from shot and/or a wad getting stuck between choke and threads after shooting soo much. He had been shooting so much he practically shot the chokes right of out it! Could happen to anyone, "exploding" may have been an exaggeration. Hope that helps!
