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.

The season runs from January through August, with a finale in September.

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.

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.
