I'm Jeff Jensen, and this is Shoot From The Hoop, where we discuss all things,
FITASC and Sporting Clays. With over 180 FITASC competitions under my belt and a U.S. Open Veteran FITASC Championship in 2017, I've learned the most compelling stories in this sport are not about the scores. They're about the people behind the gun.
Each week, we go deep into the world of FITASC and Sporting Clays with the
champions, the veterans, and the obsessed.
I sit down with the figures who've shaped this sport both nationally and internationally—to talk craft, competition, and the life journeys that led them here.
If you're serious about FITASC, this is your show, “Shoot from the Hoop”. I’m also the host of the award winning “Dean’s Chat” podcast, with over 300 episodes and counting.
