Back from a tough—but incredibly fun— @nrlhunter match at Clinton House.

@michael_berger21, @a3gmunitions, @mike_sexton_usmc and the @clintonhouseplantation crew put together a great course of fire over 18 stages and 2 days. They really tested our ability to find and range targets while rewarding efficient position building. Add in heat indexes well into the 90s with Carolina humidity, and by the end of nine stages each day everyone was looking for some air conditioning.

One of the best parts of the weekend was spending time with such a great group of people. It was good catching up with old friends, making some new ones, and being surrounded by shooters who were supportive, encouraging, and positive from the first stage to the last. That’s one of the things I enjoy most about this community. @m_2collective @rex_pecos @pew_pew_patrick @farawayhunter @stagezeroshootingsupply @buddybrown84 @moetac1 @matt.bergen

A special thanks to @m_2collective for taking the time to work with us during our Friday tune-up. The tips and feedback definitely paid dividends once the match started.

I didn’t capture a lot of video this weekend, but here’s Stage 2 from Day 1. ...

To me, family isn’t defined by blood. It’s the people who have your back, challenge you to be better, and are willing to put in the work alongside you.

Over the last year, @michael_berger21 and I have traveled thousands of miles from coast to coast chasing matches. We’ve spent countless hours on the range training, practicing, and learning. We’ve pushed each other physically and mentally to be better prepared for the challenges these matches throw at us.

Along the way, we’ve shared a lot of miles, a lot of laughs, and more than a few lessons.

He may not be my brother by blood, but he’s every bit of a brother in all the ways that matter.

Grateful for the friendship and looking forward to many more miles ahead.

Another day on the trails with Laura and the horses. She was riding Apache and I got to get back up on the big boy, Goliath.

I’ve learned that some of life’s best moments don’t need to be complicated. A good horse beneath you and miles of trail stretching ahead are more than enough.

The world seems to slow down in the saddle, and for a few hours, nothing else really matters.

Any time spent in the saddle is time well spent.🐴❤️

Congratulations to my friends and the team at @eberlestock on the success of their first Community Ruck in Boise yesterday.

I wasn’t able to be there, but I still wanted to support the effort. So this morning, I threw on a 40-pound pack and knocked out 5 miles with the only rucking partner I could find at 5:30 AM—Easton.

No complaints, no excuses, and he’s always happy to go wherever the trail leads.

Congrats again to everyone who came out and made the event such a success. Hopefully I’ll be able to join you in person next time.

A quick stage from this weekend’s local PRS match. I used it as a tune-up for my next NRL Hunter match in a couple of weeks.

These local matches are a great opportunity to test new gear, experiment with different positions, and sharpen the fundamentals under the pressure of a timer. When you’re used to a 4-minute clock in NRL Hunter, 90 seconds in PRS goes by in a hurry. It forces you to be extremely efficient with your setup, transitions, and movement.

No matter how a stage goes, I always walk away with a few lessons learned that I can carry into the next match.

That’s one of the things I enjoy most about this sport—there’s always something new to learn and another skill to improve.
