We hosted JJ this week and of course had to take the opportunity to sit down with him and recap the recent 2024 Carry Optics Nationals. JJ finished 8th overall and 5th among the Americans competing for the National Title. JJ was on the same squad with Team CZ which included the overall match winner and JJ's friend Eric Grauffel.

JJ recaps his match, the absolutely stacked field of competitors, and discusses some lessons learned. If you haven't seen JJ's video uploads of his stages from the match, including his breakdowns, you are missing out and need to check out his Instagram.

Part 2 is here! We sat down with Josh Erikson from Holosun to talk about how SHOT Show went for him and Holosun, talk a little about Jarrod's experience working the Holosun Booth, and more conversation on some of gear, guns and gadgets we saw at the show. No surprises, the Langdon Tactical Squalo and PX4 G-SD were among the favorites.

Halfway through, Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project crashed the podcast and we were thrilled to have him join. He shared a bit about his Shot Show Experience, what interested him, including a gun you might be surprised by!

We took a moment during SHOT SHOW to sit down with return guests Matt Yuen from ProTech Knives and Bailey Duda from Elite CCW to talk about the experience halfway though the convention. We talked new releases from ProTech celebrating their 25th Anniversary, some of the favorite items we had seen thus far on the showroom floor and what left an impression.

Be sure to tune back in for Part 2 when we will sit down with Josh Erikson from Holosun and talk through the new products they have released and recap the experience and insanity that was Holosun booth.
