Josh is a badass and an experienced, knowledgeable, rifleman. I like my calls with Josh and figured it was time to get one of them on the books.

I think F Class shooters have a lot to teach us about learning and growing. Hopefully you also gain form hearing a master talk about his Kraft.

Chris and I chat about a platform we both love.

talking about the idea of not forgetting that noone has it all figured out and we can figure a lot out by keeping an open mind. So question everything. yourself. them. me. make questioning a part of your practice and you will improve more and longer.

I doubt I need to introduce Ryan Cleckner to you all, but in the event that you dont own the Long Range Shooters Handbook , he wrote it and its the best book out there for this stuff. Ryan is educated, experienced, and practical. I also think hes just a nice guy and incredibly open with his knowledge. Ryan not only self published his book, but also runs and operates gununiversity.com Give his site...

Accufire is a supporter of the podcast, they are shooters, they sponsor and contribute to a huge amount of events around the country and are always jumping in so they know what people want and how folks use their equipment. AnnLee and Josh talk about their epic fall doing more team matches than seems humanly possible. ...and they plan to do it again next year! sweet.

Jacob and I cover a lot of ground here but the ground we cover is rich with fertile nutrients. Take your time to pick up the advice he drops because there arent many resources that will tell you exactly what you need to improve like this. Head over to Milehighshooting.com and order what you need. Right now there is an awesome offer to give away TWO Zeiss optics to random customers, so this ups the...

I am excited to talk with my friend Boyd. Not only do I like him, he shoots just about every style of rifle competition and is psyched about getting his ass kicked. I think that a true rifleman can shoot anything well, and Boyd is one of those guys who walks the walk. What I mean by walk the walk is he will go to any competition no matter what; win, midpack, whatever.. he finds something to learn...

Talking about focus areas in training.

I figured it would be fun to talk about an experience and how its relevant to some internet drama from last week. pipe down jerkys, were here for fun.

Jake is a true professional and worth listening to no matter what you do. I am posting the full recording except for the first 30 minutes or so so the start is fast and furious. Let me know what you all think and please reach out to Jakes sponsors to thank them for supporting the best dude out there. Man, if I had a company id want him to be on my team for sure. Any questions and comments can be l...

I think its very important to make sure that your knowledge and skills are sharp when going into the field. I havent been as involved with mountain and adventure lifestyle the last few years and wanted to catch up with someone who has been active throughout the years since COVID and just chat gear. These conversations never get old to me and are as important as any discussion on any topic if youre...

I am starting a shift to interviewing friends about their careers and shooting. Last episode I had Frank Galli on ( and hopefully he will be a regular) and this week my friend Bill. Bill has insight from 18 years in the Army and the last ten as a Special Forces Sniper that I think you can help advance your shooting with; I would be surprised if you dont get some great insight and ideas from listen...

Launching the subcast has been on my to do list and today im going for it. So subscribe or dont, but those who do will get more specifics and probably improve faster.. thats how it goes.

I love Frank. I think he is one of the easiest people in the shooting world to be around. He is considerate, thoughtful, experienced, and opinionated. You kind of have to have all of those qualities to be interesting and he has them all in spades. The thing is, we can always hang out in person and we always find ourselves tinkering with things instead of recording. So, today I was crunched a littl...

The plan is to load for 2023, but my plan is different than most of the stuff ive seen on the internet. This isnt anything but an explanation of how im going to approach and carry out that plan. Its not super detailed but its the preliminary plan and if nothing crazy happens.. its what im going to run with. We will see how it shakes out!

Francis and Chad are no strangers to shooting demands, and like most of the pros they dont leave things like gear selection and use to chance or public opinion. I wanted to hear what they run because when you list out the gear that high end shooters use its not a very long list, but its an important one. they also have a podcast : Miles to Matches where you can hear all sorts of great information...

Talking with AnnLee of team accufire about the recent memorial match and the upcoming Team Safari matches. Team matches are fun and rewarding and these guys are so psyched about going to a bunch this fall.. so lets hear what makes the matches so attractive!
