Growing up in Montana with limited resources, I learned the true art of long-range shooting through trial, error, and a trusty Savage 10T tactical rifle, handed down from my father. This episode uncovers my early experiences and the steep learning curve I faced, all to make your journey a bit smoother. By sharing my progression from a novice to a seasoned shooter and law enforcement professional, you’ll understand how perseverance and community support are vital in mastering precision shooting.

Ever wondered how competing in local precision shooting events could impact your skills? I recount my initial leap into competitions across multiple states with only a .308 rifle, emphasizing the camaraderie and lessons learned. From harsh winds in Montana to the supportive guidance of my fellow shooters, the narrative highlights the significant boost competitions provide in skill development, crucial for both enthusiasts and professionals like myself in law enforcement.

Discover the surprising benefits of rimfire competition shooting as I share my transition from centerfire to .22 competitions. Initially skeptical due to the financial strain of frequent barrel replacements in centerfire shooting, mentors like Shane Scott and Trevor Cunningham helped me embrace the affordability and skill-building advantages of .22 competitions. Despite qualifying for nationals in the 22X series, my choice to prioritize family over competition reflects the continuous balancing act between passion and priorities. Tune in to hear about these experiences and more, as I aim to share valuable insights in the world of precision shooting.
