The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Jacob and Frank Back to Rifles Only for the Cup

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Jacob and Frank Back to Rifles Only for the Cup 
In 2025 we are going back to Rifles Only for the final Sniper's Hide Cup.  Yes you heard that right, Nov 8th 2025, just before the USMC Birthday we ending the Sniper Hide Cup.  
Always great to talk to Jacob, we have a lot of fun discussing stuff. 
This podcast is a bit all over the place, my fault, I messed up my computer big time trying to do this simulcast thing so when I logged in to do this podcast, nothing worked and I needed Jacob's audio.  I'm a mess... 
But Merry Christmas everyone, hope you have a great holiday.  Hope you season ended strong. 
 
 

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Simulcast Hell

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Simulcast Hell 
I am trying to simulcast this podcast to multiple destinations without using third party paid apps, but clearly that is not happening because the final product sounds like shit to me.  All the feeds except the Vimeo Video one sounds like crap to me.  The sound was doing that underwater thing. But if you are good with this podcast, the topics I covered were pretty light.
PRS Divisions 
Area419 One Piece Mount 
This was two tries at this today and clearly my stuff is not correct to pull off a multiple destination cast. 
If you go to the direct Vimeo video it's the best sound. Crazy right 
Heck I bought a hardware product to do this and even that doesn't work on Mac correctly. 

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: PreGame Thanksgiving Day Special

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: PreGame Thanksgiving Day Special 
Happy Thanksgiving Charlie Brown ! 
It's the day before the holidays and we have some thoughts over here at the Everyday Sniper Podcast. First off, don't forget to check out Hide TV this podcast is simulcast over there live, now with video. 
I begin the show talking about Black Friday Specials, we sent out a Giant Email with some Black Friday deals. Lots of great stuff to buy for the upcoming new year.  Then I go into the SG Timer 2 from Shooter's Global.  
The Shooters Global Timer is complete system which integrates with your phone to manage your shooting and training. We'll have a video and review on Sniper's Hide, but needless to say we are big fan of timers, and the SG Timer 2 worked really well for us. 
Next, I am big fan of where Area419 has come from, these guys have grown into a powerhouse company. I have their precision scope mount here and the entire package is awesome.  We'll have more details on the Area419 stuff. I really think they hit the next level of precision rifle gear. 
My big reveal, 
I am going to sponsor a shooting team. I go Into some details, and where my head is with this, but I think I am gonna help some new shooters. 
I am thinking I can even host a virtual team. Help them training and mentor them online. Using the Hide TV resources I believe I can create a virtual shooting team situation where they can learn and grow. 
Happy Holidays everyone, Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for being a part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast. 

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Marine Corps Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Marine Corps Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation 
105 Years of Scout Sniper History is being uncovered by the Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation ! 
Today I have Tim Parkhurst on the phone, President of the Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation, and I have to say, this interview was super fun and beyond interesting.  The Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation is creating a Memorial to the fallen Scout Snipers from World War I to Present Day.   Unfortunately, this Awesome Sculpture will cost $3 Million Dollars so we need to raise a lot of money. 
If you head over the Foundation Website which is linked all over this post, you can see the Sculpture Concept, as well as the thinks to help raise money. 
Scout Sniper History ! 
The Heritage Foundation is also very heavily researching our Scout Sniper History.  Very little is known about USMC Scout Sniper prior to Vietnam.  However we have a robust and organized history going back to World War I, who knew. 
Please Help Us Raise $3 Million Dollars for this Sculpture and Memorial, there is an M40 Raffle taking place right now. This one of kind rifle is assembled from parts found that are Vietnam Vintage.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Get out and Vote!

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Get out and Vote! 
The day before one of the most important elections in our nations history.  Get out and vote if you have not done so already, it's super important.  I want to make sure I don't overlook this request, vote. 
But in this podcast I am also live on HideTV. 
I wanted to practice simulcasting the Podcast with the Hide TV channels. 
But I follow up with some more Major Land discussion.  I want to talk packs and managing your gear. Gear management is huge, doesn't matter, military, law enforcement, hunters and competition shooters all need to manage their gear correctly. In this case, context matters. 
I am thinking about going modular with gear management. I think the time is right to focus on how we carry our equipment. We'll be addressing this over the next couple of months. 
Thanks for listening thanks for sharing, thanks for being a part of the everyday sniper podcast. 
How do you manage your carry, how are you carrying your rifle, your bags,  your ammo ? 
During this off season take a look at your data management as well as gear management 
 

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Training Season is Over

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Training Season is Over 
As one door closes another door opens.  With Training Season over, we enter podcast & livestream season. 
I want to start off by thanking everyone who attended training with us in 2024. This was a super successful season, we saw the return of Marc Taylor and entry of Chris Way with our classes.  We also had a lot of support and help from Laura during some tough times both recently and in the past. So again thank you to everyone who made it work in 2024.  
Ended the season in a couple of locations, we did 2 classes in Ohio then I did a class and a clinic in Virginia finally ending our season in Fort Morgan with an Army Section. Each class had its own unique challenges that in the end, opened my mind to new possibilities. 
We tested a lot of variations for classes as well as several tools like using a Starlink system to access the internet on the range.  All these tools will enhance the Hide TV experience which is my end goal.  On top of providing the very best training possible. 
With Podcast season starting up, expect at least 2 episodes a week and at least one of them to be simulcast live on Hide TV.  These will have lesson, guest speakers and more. Hide TV is moving forward, we are super happy with the progress and the reception. 
To all from US,  
Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thank for interacting and being a part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: IPRF At Cameo plus Stuff

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: IPRF At Cameo plus Stuff 
Spent a few days in Cameo Colorado checking out the IPRF Championship taking place there. Enjoyed visiting with a bunch of friends and doing a train up for Team AI. 
We are training this week in Cameo up in the hills, then we head to Precision Rifle Expo, after which it's Ohio and Virginia. If you are interested in participating in a training event, stop by The Hide for more information. 
Speaking of Team AI, the new ATXC is out, we went hands on with the rifle and really enjoyed it.  Big improvement over the ATX, runs like a custom action now.  I pre ordered an ATXC after running the bolt. 
Hide TV is coming along nicely. New videos, but also podcasts will be going up on Hide TV.  We have a lot of changes taking place and this is just Gen 1 of the platform.  GEN 2 is looking to be even better.  Stop by the Hide and check it out. 
As always, thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for being a part of the everyday sniper podcast. 

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Hunter Diagnostic

Hey Everyday Fan, Chris and Frank today on the show talking about the Hunter Diagnostic we developed for guys to use prior to hunting season.  Extend your limits or just know your limits when it comes to taking game.  The Hunter Diagnostic can be found on Sniper's Hide in the Articles and breaks down the method to test.  
Here is a bit of the Test: 
Step 1: Paper at 100 Yards
Shooting Positions and Sequence
Perform the diagnostic from the three most likely positions you anticipate using during the hunt with the same equipment and ammunition. Follow a build-and-break sequence for each shot to simulate hunting conditions.
Sequence:Build and Break Shots: Shoot from the three most likely positions you anticipate using during the hunt—three shots each, totaling 12 shots.
Measuring Group Size at 100 Yards
1. Shoot a Group of 12 Shots: Perform the sequence of 12 build-and-break shots described above at 100 yards, ensuring shots are equally distributed across the three most likely positions you anticipate using during the hunt.2. Measure the Widest Shot: Measure the distance in mils from the center to the farthest shot in each position’s group. This measurement is your group size.3. Record the Group Size: Note this value as your group size in the shot bracket calculation worksheet.
Give us some feedback, new season, Fall of 2024 has just started

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: The Great Reset

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: The Great Reset 
So even though I did a couple podcast since My Mom passed away, I wanted to address all the changes that have happened since July 1st. On July 1st we started the process to upgrade the site's engine to one designed for the future.  Future proofing an online experience is not only important, it's necessary for a healthy internet community.  While many people dislike change, this one was more under the hood then physical, but it does have some valid physical limitations.  
Topics Covered: 
Technical Support, don't email Frank he has no clue 
Hide TV App vs SH Forum App 
Hide TV Future - Your Living Room 
Online Training Lessons have moved - See CR2 Shooting Solutions 
Video's Future vs the Written Word when it comes too content creation 
I really appreciate the patience while we transition. I know nobody likes technical difficulties and I understand some of you had technical difficulties, but we also have a pipeline to fix it. 
Thank you all, for not just your patience,  your support during the passing of my Mom, the changes taking place, and with the entire Sniper's Hide infrastructure.  Cheers to you all.
