California State Champ & Gun Club Manager Bryan Weeks on the Golden West Grand | Trap Talk Ep. 166

In Episode 166 of Trap Talk, Zach Nannini and Richard Marshall Jr. sit down with Bryan Weeks from Livermore, California — 2025 California State ATA Singles Champion, three-time PITA All-Star, and manager of Livermore-Pleasanton Rod & Gun Club.
Bryan shares how he got hooked after hitting his first target at a bachelor party in 2005, his journey from league shooter to running one of the largest trap facilities in California, and what it really takes to keep a gun club running smooth — clean trap houses, reliable mics, and finding volunteers in a state with the highest minimum wage.
The conversation digs deep into:

the 74th Annual Golden West Grand (May 6–10) — gold coin belt buckles for every event, shooter appreciation dinners, and why this shoot is a West Coast classic
the Multi-State Challenge coming to Livermore (April 17–19) — a new All-American point shoot giving California shooters better access to compete
North Bay & South Bay leagues — how these monthly 150-target competitions shaped some of California's best shooters
California trap shooting legends — Dave Kelly, Benias, Bob Graves, Rich Bullard, and the nostalgia of shooting at Livermore, Martinez, and Sunnyvale
what makes a sea-level target so tough — and why Zach's 100 straight at Martinez is still a story worth telling
