Tom John - 9-Time CA State Champion
from California Clays Hosted by Henning Mathew
Nine-time California State Champion. CA Sporting Clays Hall of Famer. Team USA shooter. Coach. And more than three decades competing at a high level in sporting clays. In this episode, I sit down with Tom John to talk about his incredible career in clay shooting and the evolution of sporting clays in California. Tom won his first California State Championship back in 1993 and has had a front-row seat to the growth and changes in the sport ever since. We talk about the shooters, clubs and personalities from the early days, how targets and competition have evolved, and what it takes to remain competitive for more than 30 years. We also get deep into Tom’s shooting and coaching philosophy, including how he uses his eyes, how he reads targets, how he trains and what he looks for when working with other shooters. Outside of shooting, he’s spent years working behind the scenes in Hollywood, including driving and transportation work on major film and television productions. This is a conversation about shooting, coaching, California sporting clays history and a lifetime spent learning how to break targets.
