On the surface, small-bore target shooting is a game of quiet precision. But for British Champion Courtney, the real battle isn't against the target or her other competitors —it's fought in the six inches between her ears and across social media.

In this episode of The Grit, we sit down with Courtney as she climbs the ranks toward becoming one of the top talents in the discipline. We break down the immense mental fortitude required to quiet the noise and find perfection in repetition. Beyond the firing line, we talk shop about the modern challenges facing shooting sports: the silent, algorithmic censorship, shadow-banning our community online and the fight to preserve knowledge and passion in a digital landscape that's increasingly hostile to it.

This is a story about the relentless pursuit of a goal measured in millimetres, the unexpected kinship found in a community of disciplined individuals, and the resilience required to defend your passion. It's about the grit it takes to hold steady, both on the range and off.

Happy Pride month Y'all! This pride month special episode, we cast our line into uncharted waters and reel in an inspiring conversation with one half of the dynamic director duo of the groundbreaking TV series Get Hooked. Exploring our outdoor community that too often narrows women’s stories to a single reel. Leah's spent her career framing stories in all their nuance, grit, and brilliance. From the first spark of inspiration—when the tide of representation felt besieged—to the moment the show hit the airwaves, our guest takes us behind the camera and into the heart of storytelling that celebrates queer joy, resilience and place in the outdoors.

In this episode, we break down what it takes to hunt an animal that lives where the earth meets the sky. BC native, Katherine walks us through the years of near-misses: the storms that pinned her down, vertical shin-scrapers and winds that’ll slap the optimism right outta ya - and of course, the humbling truth that goats don’t care how badly you want them. But, when she finally closed the distance on that billy, it wasn’t just a harvest—it was a reckoning.
