Jason Johnson: Military Mindset, Trapshooting Comeback & Better Sleep for Better Scores | Trap Talk Ep. 177
May 2201:15:07Summary readyJason Johnson joins Trap Talk for Episode 177, and this one covers a little bit of everything: trapshooting, military service, family, mindset, sleep, and why coming back to the sport can be just as exciting as starting young.Zach Nannini and Richard Marshall Jr. sit down with Jason, a Texas trapshooter, military veteran, and part of the family behind Johnson’s Furniture, Appliance & Mattress, a new sponsor of the show. Jason talks about growing up around trapshooting, pulling targets, watching great shooters, serving 23 years in the military, and eventually finding his way back to registered trapshooting as a way to make memories with his dad and family.The guys get into the mental side of shooting, including box breathing, pre-shot routines, music on the line, slowing down under pressure, and why one bad mount should be a reset instead of a lost target. Jason also shares what he learned from the Nevada State Shoot, the fun of events like the Back Fence Shootout, and why the ATA needs more energy, more excitement, and more opportunities for everyday shooters to win something and feel part of the action. They also dive into a topic most trapshooters ignore: sleep. Jason explains why a good mattress matters when you are traveling, shooting long programs, living out of an RV, or trying to stay sharp over several days of competition. From Tempur-Pedic mattresses to RV setups and white-glove delivery, this episode makes a strong case that better rest can lead to better performance.This is a great conversation for shooters getting back into the game, new ATA members, traveling competitors, and anyone who knows that trapshooting is about more than just breaking targets.Enjoy this episode and please like, share, comment, and subscribe to support the channel.Follow & Subscribe to Trap Talk!
