In this episode of "Hunting Matters," we are joined by Don Paullo and Chuck Johnson, coaches and leaders of the Spring Branch FFA Alumni Clay Crushers youth shooting team. We dive into their passionate journey across multiple disciplines in the youth shooting, hunting, and conservation sectors, focusing on their extensive backgrounds that span from corporate leadership and banking to dedicated range safety and firearms instruction.

The discussion details Don and Chuck's extensive educational and professional backgrounds, from Don's 30-plus years in institutional investment management to Chuck's sixteen-year banking career and prior ten-year tenure as an electrical engineer. Our guests share how their respective credentials—including Don’s SCTP Coach and NRA certifications, alongside Chuck's status as an NSCA Level I Instructor and high-volume competitive shooter—have shaped their approach to mentoring youth athletes. We explore how their personal experiences as parents of competitive shooters drew them deeply into the sport, leading them to volunteer their time to help high school students build confidence, master safety protocols, and transition from local clay target disciplines to collegiate-level competition.

Finally, we explore the inner workings of the Spring Branch FFA Alumni Clay Crushers program, highlighting how it provides crucial team and individual competitive opportunities under the Spring Branch FFA umbrella. We discuss the complexities of navigating the youth competition landscape in Texas—spanning FFA, 4-H, SCTP, and NSCA events—and the common training misconceptions they help families overcome. Don and Chuck share powerful insights into the safety culture that underpins organized youth shotgun sports, the direct connection between clay targets and ethical field hunting, and inspiring advice for the long-term impact they hope to leave on the next generation of responsible adults.
