    Episode 120: Kenzie Fitzpatrick (3GunKenzie) interviewed by Dave Hartman of Prep and Press

    2024 officially marks my 10-year anniversary of being a competitive shooter. It also represents 10 years since I've legally been able to and have carried a gun daily. This milestone is something I'm proud of and something I really wanted to talk about. In this episode, the roles are reversed, and I get interviewed by Dave Hartman of Prep And Press. We talk about my journey in shooting sports, what I've learned along the way in terms of gun and gear maintenance, how to prep for matches, and how to navigate the world of firearms ownership. It's been a wild ride that has led me to start the Reticle Up podcast, managing brands online, shooting all across the country, going to SHOT Show for the first time, and more! I never imagined any of this would lead me here, so I'm excited to share about my 10 years in the firearms world! I'd love to hear what you thought of this episode, so be sure to send me any comments or any questions you may have for me!

    Episode 118: Frank Melloni, Owner, Renaissance Firearms Instruction, Writer, & Hunter

    Frank Melloni and I met through our mutual work as writers in the firearms industry. To give you a long overview, Frank has been published in American Rifleman, Guns & Ammo Magazine, Gun Digest Magazine, Ballistic Magazine, On Target Magazine, Shooting Illustrated, Shooting Sports USA, American Hunter, NRA Family, Guns.com, Personal Defense World Magazine, Tactical Life Magazine, and Shoot-on.com. What led Frank to start Renaissance Firearms Instruction was out of a need for proper firearms training in New York, and it has expanded. RFI is a company dedicated to teaching a wide variety of shooting skills and practices to the modern shooter. Courses are designed to help people of all skill levels and backgrounds. For more information, visit https://renaissancefirearmsinstruction.com In this episode, Frank talks about how RFI filed one lawsuit and joined another in an attempt to demonstrate the unconstitutionality of the repercussions that do nothing to stop crime and only hinder vital safety training.

  5. Episode 117: Brooke Proskovec “Diving into 3-Gun Competitions”

    Episode 117: Brooke Proskovec “Diving into 3-Gun Competitions”

    My dear friend Brooke Proskovec is one brave soul for diving right into 3 Gun competitions by showing up to shoot with just an inner belt of her own. Brooke shared with me that she wanted to get into 3 gun competitions but didn't have any of the gear of her own to really sign up and shoot. As a Steel Challenge and USPSA shooter, Brooke knew her way around a pistol, but her first love was iron sights. I convinced Brooke to sign up and shoot the 2023 Zoo City Fall Brawl 3 Gun match and also convinced her she would want to shoot a pistol with a red dot optic on it specifically because of how challenging the match is for pistol shots. Brooke and I shot one local Zoo City 3 Gun match before both competing in Open Division to work through Brooke learning all three platforms and also for me to get used to my new Genesis Arms Shotgun. Brooke shares how Open Division made it as easy as possible for her to compete in 3 Gun vs. trying to learn the shotgun and quad loading technique in Tac Ops Division. Interested in shooting 3 Gun with us? Send us a message. We are signed up for the 2024 Battle for the South 3 Gun Championship and would love to get more people into the sport of 3 Gun!
