Where has Madison Sharpe been this year, and why hasn't she been competing as much? Madison joins Jason and guest co-host Tracy Wright for an honest conversation about taking a step back from the competitive sporting clays circuit. Tracy finds himself in a similar situation, making this a conversation many shooters can relate to. Between the cost of traveling, tournament expenses, the pressure to perform, and balancing everyday life, chasing championships can become a grind. When does the sport you love start feeling more like an obligation than something you enjoy? And can taking a break actually be good for your game? This is one conversation every competitive shooter should hear! Dead Pair Swag- https://x062jy-1z.myshopify.com. Dead Pair/Kolar raffle- https://e.givesmart.com/events/Pl8/
