"Derrick grew up on a small farm in southeast Kansas and developed a love of the outdoors at an early age tagging along with his dad while quail and deer hunting. He started in sporting clays at age eight, joining his dad in a small league at a local club and began developing his skills as a competitive shooter. The shooting sports earned him a scholarship to Lindenwood University. While there, he was on dual scholarship for baseball and the shotgun team. After a couple years, he transferred to Kansas State University to pursue a degree in Animal Science, graduating in 2008. While at KSU, he won the ACUI Collegiate Clay Target Championship, a format that includes international trap, international skeet, American skeet, American trap, and sporting clays. After college, he moved to Ohio where he designed and managed Cardinal Center Sporting Clays. Having successfully getting the facility up and going, he took the chance to move closer to home to manage Powder Creek Shooting Park in Lenexa, Kansas. During his years in the shooting sports, Derrick has competed in many different disciplines, including sporting clays, skeet, trap, international trap, and helice, winning national titles and earning Team USA honors in helice, international trap, and sporting clays. Still to this day, Derrick enjoys shooting with his father and is regularly seen competing with him around the country in sporting clay events.

The SFTH Shoot Quality Hierarchy – Framework for Peak Shooter Experience 🎯 Episode Overview What separates a “good” shoot from a great one? In this episode, we break down the SFTH Shoot Quality Hierarchy — a structured framework for delivering the ultimate Peak Shooter Experience. Inspired by performance theory and built from years of competitive experience, this model explains what truly drives shoot quality — from foundational logistics to elite target setting. Whether you’re a shooter, target setter, club manager, or event director, this episode gives you a clear blueprint for building better events. 🔷 The SFTH Shoot Quality Hierarchy 🟦 Foundation: SAFETY FIRST Nothing else matters without safety. • Safe and secure shooting environment • Clearly defined procedures • Responsible gun handling culture • Staff trained to prioritize safety above all If safety fails, everything fails. 🟨 Access Layer: Online Course Registration – Scorechaser Ease of entry impacts perception immediately. • Seamless online registration • Clear communication • Efficient check-in process Before the first shot is fired, the shooter experience has already begun. 🟩 Basic Needs: Water, Food & Hospitality Shooter comfort directly affects performance and perception. • Hydration & Meals • Friendly, helpful staff • Exhibitors that add value to the event If shooters are dehydrated, hungry, or frustrated — performance and satisfaction drop. Comfort is not luxury. It’s performance fuel. 🟧 Operational Excellence: Grounds, Facilities & Course Flow Logistics separate amateur events from elite events. • Intelligent course layout • Clean restrooms & clear signage • Minimized wait times Avoid backups. Avoid chaos. Flow equals focus. 🟥 Performance Layer: Targets & Scorekeeping At the top of the hierarchy is what shooters ultimately came for. • Thoughtful target setting • Eye tests / short windows • Trained trappers & referees This is where competitive integrity lives. Fairness. Challenge. Consistency. When this tier is executed well, shooters leave feeling tested! 🔺 The Goal: Peak Shooter Experience When every layer supports the next, you achieve: • Competitive fairness • Professional presentation • Operational efficiency • Shooter satisfaction • Repeat attendance Peak experience doesn’t happen accidentally. It is engineered. 🧠 Key Takeaways ✔️ Safety is non-negotiable ✔️ Logistics affect performance ✔️ Hospitality fuels focus ✔️ Flow prevents frustration ✔️ Target setting and scoring defines competitive integrity Every successful shoot builds from the bottom up.
