Legend has it that many sailors have been hypnotized by the sweet song of the sirens, causing them to crash their boats into rocks and land.  But first, sailors need to venture into siren territory before the sweet sound can grace their ears and their hearts, luring them into a fate with reckless abandonment. We are shooters, not sailors, but the song is still sung for our ears and our hearts.  It's not a ship on the ocean, but a crack of the rifle that sends a bullet at breakneck speed with the hopes of the sender to land it home and hit his target.   That moment in time and the magic it takes to somehow make what seems the impossible happen is the vessel we shooters ride on. Most people never get a chance to experience the excitement and magic of sending a bullet over a 1/2 mile down range and on their own hit a small target.  For any chance to hear this song that is as beautiful as it is enchanting, you must set foot to sea (enter rifle range), put your hands on the rudder and let the winds blow your sail. For many of us, the hook is set too deep and we are forever sentenced to floundering on the line and in some weird way enjoying every minute of it.  One round at a time, frozen in time as we wait to hear that sweet song of the siren and praying to Neptune that they will sing to us just one more time that sweet sound of lead colliding with steel.  Wolf Precision Custom Rifles.  www.wolfprecision.net Online Long Range Shooting School.  https://www.wolfprecision.net/online-long-range-shooting-school.html

Episode 192 - The magical sirens song that makes you fall in love with long range shooting.

In this episode I would like to share with you personally why I have worked so hard in documenting our shooting school to put online and to share.  This is the story of Wolf Precision and Jamie Dodson as we grew through the years in our ability to do and eventually teach. Now, as I get older I would like to document all that we have learned to share and live forever.  Even after I am long gone, I hope to leave something behind of value for the next generation of shooters.  I also wanted to take the time to do it while I was still young enough and on my A game.   Because eventually we all start to slow down and forget some many things we have learned over the years.  This is my story, my life's journey and I hope to share it with those who love or have a passion for learning the fundamentals of marksmanship and wanting to grow into the best shooter they can be.   Wolf Precision's ACE Rifle System.  www.wolfprecision.net Online Long Range Shooting School.  https://www.wolfprecision.net/online-long-range-shooting-school.html

Episode 191 - Documenting over three decades of shooting and training, The Online Long Range Shooting School!

One of my first experiences trying to get into long range match shooting was something that I think a lot of us have experienced.  You show up to play the game then are belittled or looked down upon because you can't afford the name brand or custom equipment that others can.  I have personally experienced being judged and left feeling like I shouldn't be there because I can't afford to play the game at their level, being scoffed at like a blue collar worker at the yacht club.  Worst yet, you are left feeling like "why bother?" because you feel you have no chance of competing because you can't afford to play the game at their level while others have the means to buy their way into the winners circle. My life's work was to be able to bridge that gap between factory and custom.  And then, go one step further, leap frog in front of those who think that if you pay more, they will get more.  Changing the industry and blurring the line between factory and custom because we can improve the quality and close the money gap at the same time. To provide an alternative, something better than custom or a name brand.  A premium rifle using premium parts and built using next generation technology and machine tools that drive innovation and eventually lowers the cost for all.  And create a system that provides that level over and over, week after week and year after year is our dream and the mark of progress.  That is the future where everyone deserves to have a great shooting rifle, one they can be proud to own and will never leave you feeling it's a game that only the rich can play.   Wolf Precision's ACE Rifle System.  www.wolfprecision.net Online Long Range Shooting School.  https://www.wolfprecision.net/online-long-range-shooting-school.html

Episode 190 - Everyone deserves a great shooting rifle.

The shooting season has begun and so have the schools.  With over 15 years of teaching on the firing line, the things we learn and see often have a great value to those planning on doing such events in the future.  Especially those who are getting ready to experience a class for the first time.  Regardless the class or the location, here are some things that are already standing out this season and are worthy of both sharing and discussing how to prevent these things from happening to you.

Episode 189 - Lessons from the firing line 2024

In this episode, we discuss at length, carbon fiber barrels...the good, the bad and truly how do you make a decision.  Everyone building a custom rifle wants a great looking rifle.  Should you choose carbon for that reason?  What about a match or long range rifles, would it make a good choice there as well? I have this conversation every week with customers.  I really want to share with you my personal thoughts on why you may want to choose it or on the other hand why you may not want to choose it.  There is a lot of misinformation on the pros and cons. I want to simply share with you what I know and have come to experience in building rifles for nearly two decades.   We hope you enjoy.   Wolf Precision's ACE Rifle System.  www.wolfprecision.net Online Long Range Shooting School.  https://www.wolfprecision.net/online-long-range-shooting-school.html
