Milspec Mojo Part 1 Jan 05, 2021

Don Majillo is known for his extremely fast trigger, and precise accuracy.

In part 1 he goes into his beginnings as well as his time in the Marine Corps, and how he earned his purple heart.

Christian Sailer Dec 29, 2020

He is the only shooter to win every area match, then cap it all off with a National Title, and his encore act was just as impressive repeating as the National Champion in the open division, all before his 21st birthday. Christian is young, but has the work ethic and skill of someone very senior in life, he jumped into the scene in 2018 and climbed all the way to the top in 2019, and hasn't looked back. Even with the early accomplishments he maintains a down to earth and humble attitude, and doing the right thing is always his priority. This episodes jumps into what Christian thinks of the future, his journey, and what his next goals are. Christian is as fun to be around as it is fun to watch him shoot. We can't wait to see where he ends up in the future, and it was truly an honor to sit down with him! If you aren't following him make sure you head over to his page and do so!

Chad and Charles from Trex Arms Dec 05, 2020

Shooting is only half the battle when it comes to trying to attract new shooters on social media, and the other half is camera work and editing skills. I got to sit down with 2 of the best media creators within the gun community. Chad and Charles from Trex have a passion for education as well as creation. For the 2nd amendment to continue being protected, gun rights advocates must adapt, and use technology to their benefit. CJ got the chance to talk to the leaders in content creation out in Tennessee. As gun rights supporters we are grateful guys like this are on our side, to help show the great side of training. Each guy has a different story and journey, but recently they've teamed up to take the gun content creation by storm. If you don’t follow Chad or Charles make sure you do, links below.

Lucas Botkin Oct 19, 2020

Empty Brass is honored to welcome back the CEO of Trex-arms Luckas Botkin. There is no question that Lucas is a polarizing figure within the gun industry, but despite his biggest critics he has always been committed to doing the right thing based on his convictions. 2020 has been a wild ride for all of us, and we asked Lucas to find out how the lock down and riots impacted things at Trex-arms, as well as what they had done to prepare for incidents like these before hand. Lucas has always been an advocate of civilians owning basic kit, including a helmet, plate carrier, and night vision (if affordable) which has been heavily criticized by some for "larping'. Its fair to say that during the summer when every major city as well as smaller ones were rioting and burning the need for this basic kit became clear. Lucas stood by this position, and in our opinion was vindicated over the summer, and Lucas shares his opinion on what it was like to be right in an overwhelming way. Lucas continues to lead through these quickly changing times, and it was our pleasure to have him as guest for a second time. Please click the links below to follow all he and Trex-arms having coming.

Jerry Miculek Aug 06, 2020

He doesn't need an introduction, or list of accomplishments all you need to hear is the name Jerry Miculek. He may be the best practical shooter of all time, after dominating the revolver division for over 2 decades, he recreated himself in the quickly growing sport of 3-gun. CJ sat down with Jerry again on season 2, and got his take on all of the twists and turns that 2020 has brought thus far. They also went down some parts of Jerry's career as well as discussed his father-in-law Jim Clark Sr who owned and operated Clark custom guns. This year has been a roller coaster, and Jerry talks about some of his struggles getting motivated to train, mostly due to the fact that many matches have been cancelled. It is truly an honor having Jerry on Empty Brass for the second time, and its hard to really express the our gratitude. Jerry is not only one of the most talented shooters in the world, he is a genuine stand up man's man. He believes in being competitive, doing the little things, and above all else winning. Jerry has adapted and continued to find ways to win, and also remained a shining example of what every shooter should strive to be both on the range and off. Empty Brass has been beyond fortunate to sit down with many of the leaders from different areas of the gun industry, but this episode holds a special place. Make sure you follow Jerry on Instagram if you don't already.

Lucas Botkin Oct 28, 2019

The CEO of Trex-arms is often times polarizing, as well as subject of a lot of hate from gun owners. The truth of the matter is Lucas is dedicating his time and resources to preserving the 2nd amendment. Lucas came to Laramie to give a lecture at the University of Wyoming on the 2nd amendment, but before hand CJ and Lucas sat down to do the first podcast episode Lucas has been on. Some of the discussion topics closely resemble the lecture Lucas gave, so if you're curious about the material this is a glimpse. After the conversation Lucas and CJ hit the range, and did some shooting in a nice and warm 12 degree Wyoming day. The critics that love to troll Lucas' personal page cannot deny he is one of the best advocates for preserving the right to bare arms. This is an episode you will want to listen to from beginning to end, and will hopefully get listeners to take a look at what they are or aren't doing to keep the 2nd amendment alive for their children's children.

Seth(AHT)-Confirmation Bias, Facts, Truths, and Gun control Sep 06, 2019

This episode of Empty Brass deviates from the normal format, CJ and Seth sat down after a long day to discuss gun control. With recent tragedies, the 2nd amendment is under attack from the media, and government representatives from both sides like never before. The next election cycle will be crucial if gun owners wish to maintain the freedom to own the firearms they cherish, and the ability to purchase them going forward. Seth digs into the conversation at hand, and how to effectively sway those we may come into contact with, and not everything he says will get you to pump your fist. In this world we must play the game to win, not to insult. When we encounter friends, family, or even strangers the way a gun supporter speaks and acts could potentially persuade the person to supporting gun rights or drive them away. If we wish to maintain these rights and liberties we hold so dear, it should be the goal of every gun owner to go out and change the perception, and Seth gives some compelling points on how to do just that. This could very well be one of the most important episodes on Empty Brass, please listen to the entirety of the episode, because a lot of topics are covered and brought back together at the end.
