The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Sam Carlson WYCoPRL 
Competition season is fast approaching, and I think the WYCo league is one of the best examples of how to run a series right.  This episode I have Sam Carlson who runs the Cheyenne Match for the WYCo league and we dig into the 2023 Season. 
WYCO PRL is a precision rifle league local to the Front Range area. The league includes five independent monthly one-day matches in Laramie Wyoming, Cheyenne Wyoming, N.O.C.O. at Pawnee, Colorado Springs, and Rawlins Wyoming.
 
The season runs from January through August, with a finale in September.
You can reach out to Sam on Facebook for his Cheyenne competitions. 
Enjoy the 2023 competition season, and be sure to check out the WYCo league I think you will like it.  
Thanks for sharing, thanks for listening and thanks for being a part of the everyday sniper podcast. 

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: SHOT Postmortem

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: SHOT Postmortem
Back from SHOT SHOW this weekend and I wanted to give you my take on SHOT SHOW 2023. Bit of a different show for me this year, the addition of the Cesar's Forum and having skipped last year, it was a weird layout for me.  Plus only going Tuesday to Thursday meant I had a short week to work with.  
Highlights in this Episode 
Electro-optics 
Optics 
Stocks 
MDT 
Suppressors 
Action Wars 
Seekins Precision 
Overall I had a great show, met up with a lot of companies.  We had an addition of a lot of precision rifle stuff taking place.  Aero has a Rifle, Colt has a Rifle, several companies are moving from strictly Semi Auto to bolt action. 
Loved seeing everyone, we are truly in the golden year of precision rifle. 

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: John Weapon Snatcher Carughi

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: John Weapon Snatcher Carughi 
Welcome to the Everyday Sniper Podcast, in this episode I am talking with John Carughi, AKA the Weapon Snatcher.   He was the private security during the riots in Seattle who snatched a patrol rifle from a rioter. 
Weapon Snatcher and I am are creating a combo, handgun precision rifle class for everyone and wanted to talk about it. Nothing crazy, no John Wick style stuff, but instead bringing handgun back into the mix with precision rifle shooting.  To many avoid the side arm side of the sport and I wanted to revisit it again.

Head over to Sniper's Hide, check out the details on the class, give a listen and if you are interested come join us in June.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast:Time

The Everyday Sniper Podcast:Time
Everything takes time, so you have to recognize there is time in the system when we shoot.  We have the time it takes for the firing pin to hit the primer and then the bullet to the leave the barrel, and we have the time it takes for the bullet to hit the target.  Time. 
In this episode I fill in some of the blanks, gives you a quick update on what is going on in the Sniper's Hide world I am living.  
Breaking down the site upgrade, the merchandising we added, the App Updates, Live-streaming all these things are being updated for 2023. I want to thank everyone for sticking around and listening.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Expo

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Expo
Precision Rifle Expo, Navasota Texas at the CCC Shooting Complex.  What a great time we had this weekend at the Expo.  Phil Cashin from MPA puts on a heck of an Event. Vendors, Live Fire, Classes, Shooting Royalty, it has it all, there is no want for anything but the rain to stop. Even with the rain we had a full class of students in the morning. Bundled up, braced against the elements but we pulled it off. 
WTF 
Wind, Direction, Speed, and the external elements that affect it. 
Target, Range, Angle, Size, Data, Slope, all these things determine how we want to engage that target.
Fundamentals of Marksmanship, Enough Said, they speak for themselves. 
Thermals, Optics, you name they had it, heck even Q was there with their rifles. 
Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing thanks for being a part of the everyday sniper podcast.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Horizons

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Horizons
Welcome to the Everyday Sniper Podcast, I'm Lowlight from Sniper's Hide and I'll be your host for the next 35 minutes or so while I talk without breathing.
This past weekend I had two friends from Alaska down, James and Lonnie to shoot ELR Distances on the range in Fort Morgan. We had an awesome time shooting from 800 to 2450 yards.  Lonnie with Ruger RPR in 338 and James with an ASR in 300NM and 33XC.  
Had awesome conditions to dope the rifles out. Everyone hit at distance and Lonnie was able to check "Shooting ELR in Colorado with Frank" off his Bucket List. 
Conditions were near perfect all weekend.  We had a bit of wind the first day, gusting to 18MPH but it was mostly manageable and the second day was near perfect with 4MPH winds. 
I want to thank James for accompanying Lonnie down from Alaska and both of them for an awesome weekend of shooting.  Great job Guys.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast:Exposition 
Hey All, another Everyday Sniper Episode coming at you.  A little light on topics today but I wanted to knock one out as I have a private class this weekend. In this episode I lay out some Frank Style Philosophy, some of you have heard it before, others, this is a new variation.  But it's about mindset, process, about moving forward in your journey.Do you set goals for yourself when you hit the range, or are you just there to blow off some steam? 
These are the big questions we have, and in cases I might just imply an answer.  
Precision Rifle Expo in Texas Next week Triple C,  CCC Shooting Complex in Navasota TX we will be hosting a series of classes there during the Expo.  Be sure to stop in and see us.  Go hands on
