Behind The Break was the first clay target podcast ever produced with hosts Justin Barker, Kevin DeMichiel, and Alex Clark. This trio changed the way the sport was promoted, advertised, and brought into the homes of families across the world. The show released episodes with the very best shotgun shooters on earth, their techniques, styles, thinking, practice regimens and so much more to listeners from over 100 countries. Behind The Break ended in late 2020 and most of the episodes cannot be reproduced or replicated with as much information that is included in this program. They decided to share all of these episodes with you.

This will be the only place that you will be able to listen to these episodes.  They will not be available on any podcatchers or apps.

Tom Seay: Who he is as a shooter and person.

Jul 31, 2018

My father held a deep passion for any activity that a gun was involved. Naturally, from a very young age I shared these very same interests and began shooting along-side my father whenever we had free time on the farm. My father realized that I held some natural talent in the clay shooting sports and began to look for a way to further my shooting.

He contacted Wendell Cherry to inquire about shooting lessons for myself. I began taking lessons from Wendell when I was 8 years old and molded a very special relationship that has lasted to this day. This friendship Wendell and I shared has helped me tremendously over the years along with his continual desire to enhance my shooting. However, throughout this time in my shooting career of taking lessons from Wendell, I would shoot just about every day at the practice field with my father as we both worked on our shooting game. Often during this period of time I would travel around to local tournaments with my father and shoot just about every weekend. This lasted about 5 or 6 years until 2013 when I began to travel to the regional tournaments with my father and compete all over the country.

I was very fortunate and had much success early on in my career. I have been fortunate enough to earn positions on Team USA and win several events throughout these past years. I continue to travel all over the country with my father and compete in tournaments all over the world. I would have to give a lot of the credit to Wendell, and most certainly my father and mother for being in the position I am in my shooting career. I hope this provides some interesting information about myself that allows you to better understand who I am as a shooter and person.
