In this special edition of Trap Talk, we bring you two great conversations that show both the history and heart behind the Grand American.

First up, Phil Murray and Steve Ellinger from Clay Target Legends share how they’re preserving the stories of shotgun sports icons — the legends who built the foundation we all shoot on today.

Then, Red Bud Mayor Susan L. Harbaugh joins us to talk about what the Grand American means to her town, Sparta, and the entire Southern Illinois community. From local business impact to civic pride, this conversation reminds us why this tradition matters.

Watch, listen, and share if you believe in keeping the history of trapshooting alive for the next generation.

The Back Fence Shoot Out keeps getting bigger — and this year’s event at the Ohio State Shoot drew an incredible 509 competitors to the line. 🏆

In this episode, the Trap Talk crew sits down with Joe Charnigo to recap the event, break down the 3-way shoot-off between Ryan Glow, Jack Knaus, and Ian Lawrence, and talk about what’s next for the Back Fence Shoot Out as it heads west to the 77th Nevada State Shoot (Oct 27 – Nov 2).

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Larry Cushman — a lifelong supporter of Trap Talk, Ricky, and the Back Fence Shoot Out. Larry’s passion for the sport and his friendship meant the world to so many. He will be deeply missed. 💚
