In this episode of the Tru2Shooters Podcast, hosts Tyler Wildman and Michael Fitzner sit down with none other than Les Lala III — NSSA World Champion skeet shooter, coach, and all-around class act — for a powerful conversation about comeback, competition, and keeping perspective. 🙌

From his early days playing college football to stepping away from the game to raise a family — and then making an unforgettable return to the skeet world — Les shares how faith, perseverance, and community have shaped his journey both on and off the field.

Hear Les talk about:
🔥 His legendary 1999 World Championship win over Wayne Mays
💪 The mental game that separates good shooters from great ones
🎯 What it’s like to shoot alongside legends like Bill Burke, Sheaffer Stanfill, and Houston Deshotels

💬 His coaching philosophy and how he’s helping the next generation find their rhythm in skeet

This episode is full of heart, humility, and hard-earned wisdom — a reminder that in this sport (and in life), iron truly does sharpen iron. ⚡️
