The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Ted Hoeger's European Shooting Vacation

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Ted Hoeger's European Shooting Vacation 

Zoom Call today, Ted Hoeger from Iowa, past student, friend of the podcast. Ted he traveled to Norway and Italy to shoot some European PRS events.  Getting Ted's insights into the travel, logistics, atmosphere, weapons used was super valuable information and too good to pass up, 

Ted is compiling information so US Shooters can find everything necessary to travel to Europe safely and successfully to shoot their PRS style events.  Hearing all this from a source is super important, him wanting to make it every 2 years is even cooler.  

The Norway event was 3 days and traveled to 3 different venues which is super unique.  That sounds too cool for words. No home range advantage when you have 3 different looks for terrain.  Big props to the Norway Match Director, he sounds like a big thinker if you ask me. 

Ted's next stop was to Italy, I have spoke to Davide over there and I am very familiar with his work. They are big time building a solid shooting community, and really that is what it is all about, community vs the individual.  I find Davide's leadership inspiring and his commitment to education is to be commended on every level. 

Finally I go on my typical rant, I have high respect for Ted, and don't want to put him on the spot, but I feel he is well placed to make a few minor changes.  I don't do it to be ugly, I do it to improve the overall experience here in the US. The fact that I don't want to shoot anything in the South East bothers me, I should want to shoot everything and I don't.  That's said. 

But thank you Ted, I really appreciate you taking your time, spending it with me on the computer. 

Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for being a big part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast.
