The Everyday Sniper Episode 202 Jack Master Charts, Interview with Ted H
More and more we see hardcopy data is a better way of doing business.  The apps have been inconsistent, our phones are constantly being updated and changed. So the only constant in all this all is change.  Enter hardcopy charts that are to the next level. 
Ted H was a student in our precision rifle class this past weekend. he is also known as Jack Master on Sniper's Hide and produces some of the best data charts I have ever seen. We used his Weaponized Math Charts as well his Wind Angle Offset is outstanding.  Seriously useful, seriously easy to navigate.  
Stop by the Sniper's Hide forum for the images of the charts and graphs created to bring your data to the next level. 
It's much easier to access a laminated page vs trying to access a computer or phone in the field.  
These charts and theories work, we put them all into practice and the success is unmistakable.Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing and thanks for being a part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast

The Everyday Sniper Episode 201 Podbean Comments Plus
Does a title for the podcast even matter? 
I mean does anyone read this stuff I write, because to be honest, I just ramble so there is something written.  I find it weird to write what I am talking about, but I suppose there has to be some kind of description or nobody would know what we are about.In this episode, I am talking in circles, reading Podbean Comments, and correcting a few previous mistakes I made in regards to my shout-outs.  
The comments have been awesome and I appreciate everyone's comments because it is a watched metric.  Be sure to keep commenting as I want to see where we fall come the end of the year with Podbean. Don't forget to head over to Sniper's Hide and hang out in the forum.  The forum is much better than Facebook, which is just a constant troll fest out there.  As soon as one piece of positive information is posted on FB, some idiot comes in and ruins it.  On Sniper's Hide, we crush them so only the good gets through to you.Thanks again, and be safe out there,

I cannot believe we have hit 200 episodes, thanks to everyone who makes this possible. Without listeners, we would not be doing this like we are.  So thanks again.

The Everyday Sniper Episode 197, True Range Zero, User Comments, FFS

The Everyday Sniper Episode 197, True Range Zero, User Comments
In this episode, I talk about your True Range Zero and what the end-user can do to fix issues with software to help fine-tune your truing.  With a true range zero a group that is just .1 mils above center moves your group to 150 yards in terms of how the computer looks at it.  So it's important to understand these variations. 
Talking Gun Control a tiny bit, all about the messaging we are being attacked with.  Make sure you do your part. 
Some singing, a little stairway,  and random musings. Finally, we end with User Comments from the PodBean App.  Keep the comments coming we all enjoy them. Thanks for listening and being a part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast 

The Everyday Sniper Episode 196 Communicate, Move, Shoot

The Everyday Sniper Episode 196 Communicate, Move, Shoot
Thanks for listening and subscribing to the Everyday Sniper Podcast. In this episode we talk, Communication,  Movement and Shooting.Sort of an end of the competition season discussion.  We need to communicate before the stage, or even during with a teammate.  Then we need to move forward to build our position and finally shoot our targets.  So I am taking the Shoot Move Communicate mantra and turning it around in a more logical order of things.
I was working with two guys from California this week who are attending the local Competition Dynamics Team event and getting them spun required them to looking at the match in a different way.  They shot it before but with very little prep work, so putting in that extra work required this type of discussion. 
Thanks for listening, commenting and being a part of the Podcast.Hope you enjoy

The Everyday Sniper Episode 193 Chassis talk, Hunter Ballistics Musings

The Everyday Sniper Episode 193 Chassis talk, Hunter Ballistics Musings
Welcomes to the Everyday Sniper, in this episode I breakdown some thoughts on Marc's weaponized maths.  I shot a video for the Sniper's Hide Online Training featuring the use of the math, and it worked out really well here in CO.  I had to make a few minor tweaks at the extended ranges, but overall, excellent little video to show you how to put it in practice. This conversation Segways into the talk of ballistics. A hunter came on Sniper's Hide and was confused by setting up his ballistic computer for his hunting rifle. Part of the issue is trying to have these longer range zeros on the rifles.  For a modern shooter, I recommend a 100 yards then for hunting you can always dial up to 200, or 300 yards.  But still you need to know you rifle and it's drop.  Guys making these long impressive shots on animals are not winging it.  They treat it the same as hitting a target in a match.  In other words they are putting in their homework on the subject.Another area of interest, stocks and chassis. I put together several rifles this past week. Moving barreled actions around so they match up with a specific chassis or stock I am looking at.  Currently I have the McMillan A10 here, with the JP Chassis, the MDT ACC, and finally the Cadex Strike Nuke.  So with all these chassis arriving I need barreled actions to put in them.  It's important to match the action to the chassis, so I was playing musical chassis. Finally, most of the classes of 2019 are finished or sold out. We are getting ready for 2020, which means I need to coordinate locations.  If you want to me to visit your area reach ou to me asap to help set this up. 
Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing and thanks for being a part of the everyday sniper podcast.  Peace out
