The Everyday Sniper Episode 239 1 Million Part 2, Spotting
Here is part two of the 1 Million Downloads Episodes and we go into mega details on spotting for a precision rifle.  Mike and I breakdown using your spotting scope, communicating with your shooter, and what we look at when we are behind a spotter.Shooting a precision is about more than just pressing the trigger.  There are a host of other skills that go along with it and this is one important part of that.So, sit back, listen and enjoy the Everyday Sniper Podcast, 1 Millon Downloads can't be wrong.

The Everyday Sniper Episode 238 Milestones, 1 Million Downloads Part 1

The Everyday Sniper Episode 238 Milestones, 1 Million Downloads Part 1
Thank you, listeners!  We hit a huge milestone in the podcasting world.  Over 1 Million Downloads have been served I feel like McDonald's here. Mike and I are really humbled to reach this milestone.  We also start part one of the elements of the spotting.  Between parts 1 and 2 we give a master class on using a spotter.  We are not talking being a Range Officer at a match or a scorer, but actually spotting.  Spotting a big part of the sport.  We really go off on it. 
Again we really appreciate it.  Thank again for sharing, commenting and being a supporter. 
 

The Everyday Sniper Episode 237 Finding Balance

The Everday Sniper Podcast Episode 237 Finding Balance in your Rifle System 
So I have a GAP / Manners PRS TCS Rifle chambered in 6GT here and it's pretty amazing to see where a competition rifle has gone.  This is a 20LBS 6GT that just hammers and does not move.  My first GAP Team Rifle from George came in at 10.7LBS with an S&B 5-25x, this one is 20LBS.  The rifles just sit in the bags and on the tripod and don't move.  Part of the accuracy equation in this system is the super light trigger.  It takes some getting used to, but you can have proper trigger control with an evil light trigger, but you have to be vigilant. 
My question is, how do we balance a field or tactical rifle to take advantage of the innovations in a PRS rifle?  What is the right trigger weight to rifle weight equation? 
It's something that hit me after shooting the rifles.

The Everyday Sniper Episode 236 Josh Kunz Patriot Valley Arms

The Everyday Sniper Episode 236 Josh Kunz Patriot Valley Arms
In this episode, I interview Josh Kunz of Patriot Valley Arms.  We have a nicely focused discussion on bullets and barrel technology.  Mainly talking solid bullets as Josh has worked on several solids including the Warner Tool Flatlines,
We go over the gains Josh is making to bring solids to every rifle instead of having to focus on the barrel technology paired with a solid.  Solids are the future of precision rifle shooting, so discussing this technology is important to see where it started to where it is going. 
From here, the next part of the conversation transitions to barrels.  Josh does great barrel work and has turned me on to the Paradigm Carbon Fiber barrels.  So we have a nice discussion on those.Thanks to Josh for taking the time to talk.  
Thanks to all for listening, thanks for sharing and thanks for being a part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast 
 
 
 

The Everyday Sniper Episode 235 Match Tips, FB Rants, War Machine Leather

The Everyday Sniper Episode 235 Match Tips, FB Rants, War Machine Leather
Very interesting episode here, I have to admit, I am a bit wound up.  So I start out complaining about my Bose headphones and then drive right into a FB exchange regarding Mils and MOA. That was pretty comical, but we knew a Mil vs MOA discussion on Facebook would be a joke anyway.There are a bunch of nuggets hidden in the episode.  The careful listener will find them if choose to listen carefully.  
I actually like the part about the Match Directors thinking outside the box and creating 2 signature stages for their events that really push the shooters.  In my mind, every competition should have a signature stage or two that highlights what the Match Director brings to the table.  It's what made the Sniper's Hide events so popular. I want to thank Seth from War Machine Leather Works for the iPhone Holsters.  Awesome products for EDC.

The Everyday Sniper Episode 230 Marc Taylor AK Banquet

The Everyday Sniper Episode 230 Marc Taylor AK Banquet
Up in Alaska for the weekend, attending the Alaska Precision Rifle Banquet put on by Marc Taylor for the shooting community up here.  We all stayed at the Captain Cook Hotel and the banquet was held on the Quarter Deck. 
Food was excellent, the company was outstanding, the drinks flowed and the stories were funny as hell. 
Near the end of the podcast, we talk about some lessons learned from the previous years and where we like to see things moving forward.  We are always adapting to the needs of our future shooters.  
I want to thank the 65 shooters for attending with their wives and girlfriends and introducing them to our little circle of trust. 
Who get the Table 19 reference above?
