Season 2, Episode 7: Brantley Merriam Part 2

This week is where Brantley and I dissect his stage wins on Stage 19 and Stage 1. Stage 19 was the end of Day 1 at Carry Optics Nationals. Brantley obliterated that stage. Nils was second and Brantley beat him by 2 seconds. Stage 1 was the first stage of Day 2 and Brantley started off that day where he left off the day before with a stage win. Stage 1 was the stage that was two string. The first string was freestyle and strong hand. String two was freestyle and weak hand. We dissect them both.

Special Episode: Frank Xu and Team Taiwan IDPA

Team Canik shooter, Frank Xu, was approached in Taiwan about coaching/training the Taiwan IDPA Team coming over to shoot IDPA Nationals. Basically, he said, "Challenge accepted!" but in Mandarin Chinese.
These shooters are basically airsoft team members. Gun ownership is banned in Taiwan. He trained the 4 of them and they took home 6 awards, including most accurate iron sight shooter. I would say, "Mission Accomplished!" but in my normal American accent.
This is a great episode! Enjoy!
