In this episode, Justin Barker talks with Todd Hitch for a candid and upbeat episode about what it really takes to stay at the top of competitive sporting clays. Todd shares the mindset, discipline, and preparation behind his recent success, including his back-to-back U.S. Open wins, his approach to sleep, nutrition, and mental focus, and why consistency matters more than short-term momentum. They also talk about the technical side of shooting — from body rotation and handling wind to why Todd trusts his Beretta DT11 — plus the importance of sportsmanship, professionalism, and the relationships that shape a shooting career. Todd also tells the unforgettable story of winning the King’s Cup in Spain, including the massive historic trophy and the wild airport journey bringing it home. It’s a mix of tournament stories, practical insight, and personality that gives listeners a closer look at one of the sport’s top competitors.
