n Episode 99 of the MacBroz Show, Josh and Darius dive into the world of competition shooting and have an honest conversation about where they are right now as competitors, content creators, and gear nerds trying to keep the momentum going. We talk through the highs and lows of competing, whether we are starting to feel burnout, and what it has been like switching between USCCL, USPSA, and everything in between. From stage planning and performance expectations to gear changes, pistol setups, mistakes, lessons learned, and trying to figure out what actually matters, this episode is a real look at the journey. We also get into what we are competing for, what motivates us to keep showing up, and whether anything needs to change moving forward. Are we chasing placement? Skill growth? Content? Community? Or just trying to stay consistent while still enjoying the process? This one is for anyone who competes, wants to compete, has felt stuck, or has ever wondered if changing gear, divisions, matches, or mindset is the answer. As always, we are just two best friends talking life, firearms, competition, and the journey of getting better.   Support the Companies Supporting Our Journey Save with BOP10 at Brownells Save with MACBROZ at NDZ Performance Save with JAYWETH15 at Tag Precision Save with JAYWETH at Gideon Optics Save with JAYWETH at Leisure Carry Belts Save with MACBROZ at Mad Science Tactical

Episode 20, “Cuck Chair Tactical,” proves that twenty episodes in, we still have no idea what we are doing — but at least ARDREW is herding cats from the nicest cuck chair you’ve ever seen. We dig into DutchWalker’s Bergara B14R and Grey Birch 10/22 clone range results, Chad from Gun & Gear Review winning a Ruger Wrangler, Dewayne showing up with rimfires and actual artistic talent, and Okist immediately doing the Lord’s work by putting a Sparrow on his new Beretta 20X. Dusky gives range reports on the Quiet Frog, Mec-Gar mag hope, Beretta 80X practice, and surviving a USCCL match, while ARDREW swaps parts on the Tippmann, debates glass for the Bergara BMR, ships his GP100 off to Ruger, and prepares to sight in the world’s most cursed Hi-Point URGI. Dan adds night vision to the Hammerli, makes more questionable SBR decisions, and somehow the whole thing remains loud, moist, tactical, and mostly rimfire-adjacent.

Brian sits down with Carmen Lout for a wide-ranging conversation about her remarkable journey through competitive shooting, dog training, skydiving, and bodybuilding. Carmen shares how she got started with firearms in her 30s while living in Atlanta, transitioned from IDPA to USPSA and eventually 3-gun, and became a range officer within six months of joining the sport. Despite battling lifelong knee problems and multiple surgeries, she's built an impressive resume that includes over 1,000 skydives, training search-and-rescue canines (including her dog Tyr now serving with Harris County Sheriff's Office in Houston), and — most recently — stepping onto the bodybuilding stage at age 50. Now living in Myrtle Beach and working in contract manufacturing, Carmen is easing back into competitive shooting while balancing powerlifting events and fitness shows. Throughout the episode, she reflects on the "two-mile dirt road" philosophy of welcoming newcomers into intimidating spaces like gun ranges and gyms, the importance of learning the rules to protect the sport, and her belief that inspiring others — especially women — is what drives everything she does.

In the space of a week, water heater died out, that same day, the fridge died out. So new fridge delivered and installed, new water heater installed. -Installing a new 1TB SSD for my PS5. Installed an external hard drive but you can’t play PS5 games directly from it, only archive them.  -Been doing some fishing with Connor! Actually going to go after we record. Haven’t had much luck but hoping to change that. Done rivers mostly but theve been fast and high. -Cut the hell of out my thumb. Nice meat cleaver action! -October Road Trip!   Weerd: MOVING!   Drink Segment:  Moving….so too much   Main Topic: Developmental Dead Ends   From Listener G: I have an idea for a show topic. Guns of the future that wasn’t/or has yet to come. I think this is great, because yall can dive into the developmental dead ends of the firearms industry. I think this could act as a platform to talk about what yall think was truly a dead end and what may be brought forward into future development.   I took a day to think this over and compiled a list of examples that I think are fitting:   The Dardick (trounds and revolving “cylinder”) Calico (helical magazine) Stuff and Things Mars automatic (desert eagle part 1)   Frommer Stop (my personal favorite)(long recoil handguns) Jo.Lo.Ar and others (single hand chambering firearms) Webley-Fosbury/Mataeba Unica 6 (recoil operated revolvers) Beretta 92 (this is just D.Od bait) Last is a big list with all of the attempts at caseless ammunition: HK G11 Daisy V/L (the only ‘successful’ one in my opinion) Volcanic (arguably the second most successful attempt) Gyrojet   Wrap Up: Don’t forget to shop Brownells using our affiliate link!

I feel like I am the only listener that asks the direct questions so here we go. Is Aaron gone? Been a while we all heard the story about ” work training ” … “the girlfriend ” and now … just awkward dead air when it’s mentioned. Aaron’s absence has lowered Jeremy’s blood pressure but unfortunately it has eased his blood sugar ! Question from Andrew L from Minnesota I’m Andrew L and I heard my question on the show today, thanks for the input. I did get one printed and built between my question and your answer. I’d like to share my build if you’re interested, not sure the best way to do so. Question from Bill T from Texas Bill T from Texas Yall have been 3d printing stuff a lot these days. What kind of stuff are you printing? 2A related or not? Question from Ryan w. from Ohio Hey guys, I am hoping you can help me out. I just picked up a bodyguard 2.0, and after looking, I have not been able to find any extended slide release or safety. After some reading, it seems to not be as stiff after a few hundred rounds. That’s not my concern if there was more to index and use. What are your thoughts? Another question is, with 5 kids wanting to get them all their own pistol, rifle, and shotgun, what would you pick to send them on their own into the world as young adults.Thank you, guys, for the laughs info and just outstanding podcasts. And Jeremy, if anything, I’ll come to your shop to shoot and buy them. Ryan w.
