Dan Bernard - Episode 221 of Hunters HD Gold Behind the Lens
In this episode of Hunter’s HD Gold “Behind the Lens,” Brian sits down with Dan Bernard, a retired military veteran and longtime volunteer at Florida’s Wyoming Antelope Club (the “WAC”). Dan shares how he first got involved in shooting sports after leaving the service—and how his initial skepticism toward USPSA quickly turned into a passion for both competition and volunteerism. He talks about the “red hat” RO program at the WAC, which certifies and empowers dedicated volunteers to run safe, efficient matches and practices. Throughout the conversation, Dan’s passion for safe, fun, and meaningful shooting events shines through - as does the sense of community that keeps both new and experienced shooters coming back.
