The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Gary Larson Guardian Long Range 
The Guardian Long Range Competition is a multi-day precision shooting event with an emphasis on fellowship and awareness into foster and orphan programs that benefit from the funds raised. This professionally organized event offers opportunities to test skills with a rifle and compete for amazing prizes along with bragging rights and spiritual fulfillment unlike any other match format.
Today we have Founder Gary Larson on the podcast to talk Guardian Long Range and specifically the Colville Washington Match they are having in May.

Guardian Long Range started as one man’s passion to combine the growing precision shooting community with a higher calling to support children in need of forever families. Founder Gary Larson, has taken it upon himself to share his experience as a foster child with competitors of diverse backgrounds across the country in a format unlike any other in the shooting sports. By humbly facilitating precision shooting events that not only share the experiences of foster care and children services, the Guardian Long Range promotes fellowship and camaraderie in a weekend time span that is certain to create life-long memories as competitors see the firsthand results of the funds raised by their contributions. Our professional events will continue as the forefront of our outreach by promoting youth and adult participation in our safety oriented competitions because participants truly hold the key to expanding Guardian Long Range programs that lead to more children finding their forever homes. We are not just another match, we are a family - join us.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast:Live Crossfire Conversation w/ Chris Way

The Everyday Sniper Podcast:Live Crossfire Conversation w/ Chris Way 
Our first live test on the Snipers Hide App to link the Podcast with our Live Streaming.  Still had a minor disconnect with the App vs Desktop but we are adjusting. 
Chris and I talk the Mountain Rifleman Course and what I saw teaching the students last weekend. This is important as it's about realistic expectations for a new shooter.  It also shows the value of a basic class. 
As I work through the technical you guys can enjoy the conversation between Chris and I as I think the information is invaluable to the precision rifle shooter.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Live Streaming the Hide

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Live Streaming the Hide 
Doing a test to try out the new live streaming on the Sniper's Hide website.  The live streaming will eventually get linked between the App and the Desktop, right not they are not working together.  But once they are fixed look out, I can live stream and podcast at the same time.
So catching up on the last two weeks, we just returned from California.  We did a class from the Pala Range, awesome time so a bit of discussion on that topic.  Oh, I picked up an IOR scope from a student.
Next a bit of zero talk, I have an obsession with fine tuning our zeroes.  We need this process to work better, or do we, which is my current question. 
Link to our class schedule if you want to know where we are gonna be, follow us in the Sniper's Hide Forum.
Hope to see you in class in the near future, thanks for listening, watching and being a part of the everyday sniper podcast 
 

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Marine Scout Sniper’s are History

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Marine Scout Sniper's are History
Disturbing news dropped this week, on Tuesday, One day before the anniversary of Carlos Hathcock's passing, the USMC announced they are doing away with Scout Snipers as they currently exist. 
Traditions mean nothing anymore and the Marines are being gutted in a lot of way. 
Tim Parkhurst President of the Scout Sniper Association is on the podcast with me discussing the details.  Tim lays out the new orders and the direction the USMC plans on taking themselves in terms of the Sniper community. 
It appears from Tim's reading of the Orders the Basic Scout Sniper School is going away. In fact the 0317 MOS will be retired, going away. 
The details are public if you want to dig deeper. But I really appreciate Tim reaching out to me regarding this development. With that said, the USMC Scout Sniper Association is stronger than ever with a lot of events and plans in motion.  Check out the Website for all the details, and be sure to support where you can. https://scoutsniper.org/
Also we are currently engaged in our 03/17 Day Sweepstakes for the Terry Cross Rifle I spoke about, you can enter here: https://scoutsniper.org/scout-sniper-annual-sweepstakes/
Terry Cross Zealot Rifle package with NF Scope is available. 
Guys as always, thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, be sure to comment, and thank you Tim for joining me today.

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.

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.
Weapon Snatcher Website 
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.
