On today’s episode, Ruth speaks with Justin Carbone, a long-time competitor and former product engineer at Federal Ammunition.
Justin Carbone is a competitive shooter, co-owner of Midwest Precision Shooting, and gun enthusiast with many years of ballistic design experience. His scientific approach to competition is a strength that recently led him to taking home and overall win at the PRS Rimfire National Finale in College Station, TX. He credits his win to his amazing girlfriend, Ruth. Ok, so I took some creative liberties there…He actually credits the win to setting the tone with a “winning mindset.” Justin was also recently named to Team USA, representing the United States in the upcoming IPRF Rimfire World Championship.
The NRL22 Presented by Bushnell is a division of the National Rimfire League which is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the growth and education of precision rifle shooting. The NRL22 was created to provide a way for competitors who are looking to get into the sport of precision rifle the opportunity to do so with 22lr or air rifles without having to invest a lot of money in gear or travel. The NRL22 program is designed so that any facility with a 100 yard range can participate in local competitions to qualify for a National Championship.
Hear from Justin how he developed a winning mindset, what helps him gear up for a big match, and more, on the NRL22 Podcast!
