The Casual Shooter Podcast

Episode 44 - Ben Campomanes/Sam Sutphin, LASR App

This week, Leo and I talk to Ben Campomanes (Owner/CEO) and Sam Sutphin (Operations Manager) of LASR App.
This is a very intriguing product. It uses a camera (webcam, cell phone, etc) to capture laser impulses from pistols. Not only that, the software has built in timers to record everything you do. With one camera, you can designate up to 20 targets. With wifi, you can link multiple cameras and run an entire array of targets in training in different rooms or around obstacles requiring movement. This product is really only limited by your imagination.
We  even get into a discussion about this product and precision rifle training and the use of lasers in recoil operated systems. It would be very easy to get lost in a rabbit hole of IT wonders dreaming things up and ways to use this product. With the cost of ammunition these days, this might be one piece of the puzzle to get the practice you need to become better, faster. Check out their website. The link can be found on our website:

Episode 43 - Jalise & Justine Williams, National Champions

This week, Leo and I had the pleasure of interviewing the Williams sisters, Jalise and Justine. Between them, they have a world record, 9 national records, 39 national titles, 2 black belts in karate, they hunt, they fish and read Bill O'Reilly. What you won't find on their resume is dancing nor broccoli. Enjoy!

Episode 41 - Jason Bradley, USPSA GM, Canik Sponsored Shooter

This week we welcome Jason Bradley to the show. I've been wanting to have him on. As soon as I saw that he is now sponsored by Canik, it became imperative.
In 2019, Jason finished 16 at USPSA Nationals shooting Carry Optics. Early 2020, he switched to the Canik SFx and continued with Carry Optics. He placed 2nd behind Max Michel at Factory Gun Nationals in October of last year. Last month, he became an officially sponsored shooter.

Episode 40 - Bill Duda, Go Fast Don't Suck

******NSFW******EXPLICIT LANGUAGE******
This week, we interview Bill Duda, owner of Go Fast Don't Suck. He's also the OG USPSA meme maker. If you've been around long enough, there's a chance he has made fun of you by immortalizing you in a meme.
We discuss shooting, Go Fast Don't Suck products, match sponsorships and other things. This is definitely rated NC-17. Check out the website for links.

Episode 39 - David Ankeny, MD, VA State Championship

This week, it's just Leo and Me. Huggy had family obligations that prevented him from being present.
Our guest this week is David Ankeny. He is the Match Director for the Virginia State Championship. He's been the MD for that match since 2019. We talk about everything match related, including last year's record number of DQ's and why.
As usual, you can find all of the links to the match and social media pages on our website.

Episode 38 - US Navy Action Shooting Team

This week, join the three of us as we welcome Lt's Jeremy Lightner and Marc Santos to the podcast. Jeremy is the USN AST Captain even though he is a Lt which is actually a Captain. I know that sounds confusing but it is explained in the podcast. Just as we did with the USAF AST, we cover a lot of ground. There's a lot of show and tell in this episode. It might behoove you to check out the YouTube version as well if you actually want to see what they are sharing.
I'd like to thank the both of them for coming on the show and their Commander for authorizing their presence. It was another excellent show with plenty of laughs. As usual, you can find links to the USN AST social media page, as well as their personal links, on the website.

Episode 37 - Logan Saunders

This week, Huggy and I interview Logan Saunders. He's a local (Richmond, VA) USPSA shooter that has recently competed in PCC, CO and Open. His "Open" gun is a .357 Sig with an optic, not your usual Open gun. He's also a RO that has worked the VA State Championship, Area 8 Championship and last year's Factory Gun Nationals (CO and Production). I introduce a new game called "Ask the RO." I play a short video and the RO makes the call. If you like shooting and WWE-style wrestling, this is the episode for you. If laughing is hazardous to your health, avoid this episode.
