In this episode of the Matson Shooting Academy Podcast, host Cody Matson welcomes Jared Greenwood, a distinguished shooter and the son of renowned stock maker Jim Greenwood. Jared, a Beretta-sponsored shooter, shares his journey from a young enthusiast to a seasoned competitor. With a rich history in competitive shooting, Jared has earned titles such as two-time sub-junior national champion and eight-time sub-gauge champion. His experience extends beyond the shooting range, as he discusses his agricultural background and life on the farm, balancing his passion for shooting with his responsibilities at home.
Jared's shooting career took a significant turn during his time at Fort Hayes State University, where he majored in agricultural business and joined the university's shooting team. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Jared and his team achieved remarkable success, winning three national championships. He credits much of his shooting philosophy to Anthony Matariz Jr., whose teachings on connecting with the target have become a core part of Jared's methodology.
Throughout the podcast, Jared reflects on the importance of having a custom-fit stock, a lesson he learned early on from his father, Jim Greenwood. This personalized approach to shooting equipment has been instrumental in Jared's success, allowing him to focus on his technique and performance. The conversation also delves into the unique experience of participating in the Greenwood Invitational, a special event for shooters with Greenwood stocks, held at the picturesque Flint Oak.
Jared's insights into the world of competitive shooting, combined with his personal anecdotes and experiences, offer listeners a glimpse into the dedication and passion required to excel in this sport. As he prepares for upcoming competitions, Jared remains committed to his craft, continually honing his skills and sharing his knowledge with others. This episode is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Greenwood family in the shooting community and the impact of their craftsmanship on the sport.
