Welcome back to the Firearms Nation Podcast.\\xa0\\xa0Imagine you start competing in the shooting sports about 4 years ago.\\xa0\\xa0Imagine you decide to start shooting shotgun exclusively in competition.\\xa0\\xa0Imagine you go to the IPSC World Shoot for Shotgun earlier this month and finally, imagine waking up on June 11th to find out your the World Champion.\\xa0\\xa0Josh Froelich didn\\u2019t have to imagine any of this\\u2026he lived it.

Josh always had a competitive gene in his body that made him play sports growing up.\\xa0\\xa0In fact he supported himself and paid for college not by working at a fast food restaurant but by fighting professionally in MMA.\\xa0\\xa0But something happened in 2014.\\xa0\\xa0Josh decided he wanted to be better at shooting and went to his local IDPA match and the shooting gene kicked in.\\xa0\\xa0Fast forward a second and it\\u2019s June 2018 where he\\u2019s standing on the podium in France representing his country as a gold medal winner in the Open Division.

I get to talk to Josh about his journey and the World Shoot.\\xa0\\xa0We also discuss the little things like how he won matches and how to shoot the dot in Open or Carry Optics, and of course..how to be fast (which is why you\\u2019re\\xa0\\xa0in Open anyways).

I found Josh to be down to Earth as most people from the Mid-West tend to be.\\xa0\\xa0Hardworking, devoted and willing to get the job done with a bunch of practice.\\xa0
