Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition Ted Hoeger Day Zero

Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition Ted Hoeger Day Zero 
Welcome to the Everyday Sniper Podcast Knowledge Bomb Edition with Ted Hoeger.  Ted teaches basic precision rifle classes in Iowa and calls his program Day Zero.  Ted is there to guide the new shooter on all aspects of starting out.
In this episode we talk the decisions that go into choosing the systems we do.  The initial buy is always the hardest because you have the least amount of information.  We try to fill in those gaps.
Ted Hoeger and I talk about 
Stocks 
Calibers 
Triggers
Scopes 
Software 
Ballistic Considerations 
We really deep dive with the buying decisions. 
I zoomed this call and it's a big quiet but clear as my system was not set up for zooming but it should be fine. Thanks for listening thanks for sharing thanks for being a part of the everyday sniper podcast.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition Ted Hoeger 
Welcome to the Everyday Sniper Podcast, Knowledge Bomb Editions were we try to educate the shooter to the best of our ability. 
In this episode I have Ted Hoeger on Zoom to talk to new shooters.  Ted teaches what he calls a Day Zero course, where the shooter is in the early stages of their precision rifle journey. 
So to start our conversation, Ted and I start at Day Zero, what are the considerations when buying your first precision rifle.  Initially I go over the thought process, as well I put our thinking into the context of our decisions.We look at 
Stocks 
Calibers
Scopes 
Triggers 
Bipods 
Basic Ballistics 
We hit on as much as we can think of ... 
The Zoom call was a bit quiet, my computers were not set up for it this time, but we'll fix that, I normally don't use Zoom, I use my board and the phone, but this is clean, just quiet

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Editions : Tools to Talk About

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Editions: Tools to Talk About 
We have a process, we have tools in the toolbox that help us execute the shot process. Some people have easy tools and some people have overly complicated ones.  For the Shooter, our goal is to solve the problem in the quickest, easiest way available at the moment.  We need to be faster than the situation warrants, and as accurate as possible. 
Dry Fire is a tool, we use dry fire to build positive neural pathways that help us execute the task without overthinking it.  The mind knows we want the body to follow. 
If A is the beginning of our precision rifle journey and C is the culmination of our efforts, how much work do we need to put in so we can travel from A to C?  While each person and situation is different, we can create methods to help guide us on our journey.This is a journey, it's progress and progress does not stop just because you made it to the finish line one time, every day on Earth creates a new goal.  Don't let your goals pass you by, Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for being a part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast. 
Sniper's Hide is getting a makeover we'll be back soon 

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Tim Parkhurst USMC Scout Sniper Association

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Tim Parkhurst USMC Scout Sniper Association 
Welcome to the Everyday Sniper Podcast, in this episode we talk to Tim Parkhurst President of the USMC Scout Sniper Association. 
Tim has stopped by the Everyday Sniper Podcast to talk about the SS/A Annual 03/17 Day Raffle. This year is extra special because the Scout Sniper Association is raffling off a custom, period-correct Winchester Model 70 Sniper Rifle. 
This Winchester Model 70 Sniper Rifle uses take-off parts from actual serving rifles and is a very special piece of history.   The USMC never really issued the Model 70 Sniper Rifle but instead fielded less than 500 rifles from WWII to Vietnam.  Stop by the Association Website for your Tickets. 
Tim was recently at the Gathering of Snipers during the Guardian Long Range Competition.  Gary Larson and the Guardian Matches are currently sharing hosting duties with the Army and USMC Sniper Associations.  Tim was able to stop by and visit.  The Gatherings of Snipers is a new get-together featuring Army and Marine Snipers. 
I really enjoyed talking to Tim, the flow is fun, and the raffle is important.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition Bryan Morgan Hatcreek

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition Bryan Morgan Hatcreek
Another Knowledge Bomb Edition, this time with Bryan Morgan, the "M" from the original K&M and the Owner / Operator of Hatcreek in Idaho. 
Bryan runs an outstanding program for shooting high angles and alternates that are used by a wide variety of shooters. It's an honor to have Bryan on the podcast, an accomplished precision rifle shooter, competitor, and instructor.  
Bryan talks about the unique challenges when shooting in the mountains. How he teaches and his mantra to "See it and fix it", I think is a great tool. 
Enjoy the episode be sure to share, and don't forget to comment.  Either here in the Podbean App or on the Sniper's Hide Forum.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition, Joel Russo Terminus Actions

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition, Joel Russo Terminus Actions 
Actions ! 
I put the word out and you all responded, we want to talk about actions out there. Like Custom Actions, pros, cons, where are we going, the question was actions.  So I reached out to Joel Russo of Terminus Actions as in my opinion it's one of the most modern actions we have available. 
Terminus Actions are switch caliber capable and offer standard configurations. But more importantly, we want to talk about the "why", why does Joel do the things he does. 
I mean common on man, we hand torque barrels on today. 
So Joel and I engage in a nice conversation about the Terminus Actions and how they change the game for the end-user.

Thanks to Joel Russo for coming on the Everyday Sniper Podcast, thanks to all the listeners, and commenters we have.Cheers, Lowlight

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition, Changing the Thought Pattern

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition, Changing the Thought Pattern 
I'll be honest with you guys here, I have no friggin clue what I said during this podcast. I mean I have a high-level idea of what I said, but frankly speaking, it's a blur.
I know I spoke about training and competitions as I feel the mindset behind some of it needs to change.  Not so much on the training side, that was more about the instructors.  But on the competition side, I think we are ripe for something different.  Think of it as a great reset.  Nothing out there says you can't change the way we shoot matches right now.  So why not try something outside the box we are currently living in?
I don't have all the answers, but I know we have a lot of questions and I'm hoping to open the door to discussions around it.  I feel the answer is out there, maybe not a one-person answer, but a group think version is definitely on the horizon.  We just need to head that way. 
Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for commenting, and appreciate your continued support.

Let's get this party started, #snipershide #lowlight #precisionrifle #marksmanship #fundamentalsofmarksmanship #everydaysniperpodcast #EDS 

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Safety First !

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Safety First! 
Safety First Folk!,  There is a reason we harp on safety, safety is the one thing that can make an entire community look bad. If a picture tells 1000 words, what does a gunshot say, well ask Alec B, he can tell you what a lapse in safety can do to you.In this episode, you get a nice little Frank rant on safety after the events of the weekend. People want to shoot the messenger to hide a violation rather than address the issue head-on.  Once it's public a public response is needed. So enjoy that rant.
Next, we talk Guardian Competition, the week prior we traveled to F7 in Texas. Gary Larson had his Guardian Event which I totally support.  At the same time, we also had the Gathering of Snipers. 
I enjoyed seeing everyone at the Gathering and Guardian Events.  
Quick Review, Zeiss LRP Scope is a winner. I touch on this a bit, I love it.  Anyway, I am getting back into the podcast swing of things. I need to get my groove back on, so I am ranting a bit to get my rhythm back. 
But thanks for listening, sharing, and commenting.  

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition: Marco GDI Interview

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition: Marco GDI Interview 
Welcome back to the Everyday Sniper Podcast, my season is over, I am ready to jump back into the podcasting world with the Knowledge Bomb Edition of the Everyday Sniper.
Up first, Marco from GDI, creator of the PROM, RCOM, and his latest, the PryMid QD scope mounts.  GDI and Sniper's Hide goes back a long, long way.  For almost 20 years now I have been working with Marco and his GDI Mounts.Today Marco has partnered with Jim from Prime Ammo to offer up the latest, Prymid mount.  This smaller, lower, and lighter mount comes from the military system to serve the civilian and hunting community.  With a lower 1.25" height above bore, that brings the original PROM L down from its more standard 1.53". 
Marco and I deep dive into the history of his mounts.  The mindset in the creation and the lengths his mounts have gone to be tested and confirmed.  
History, Development, Mindset, Use, and Features, we hit on all the main topics.
Thank you to everyone listening who has stuck by the podcast. Thanks to all the new listeners, and thanks to everyone who comments on the app.
