In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie kicks off a new series called The Simple Truth—and pulls no punches.
You can learn through trial and error, or you can learn from professionals. Both are expensive. But what most people underestimate isn't just the money—it's the time, frustration, and risk that come with assumptions and misinformation.
Jamie shares real-world stories from decades in long-range shooting, gunsmithing, and manufacturing, including:
Why assumption is the death of good projects
How "experience" without feedback becomes a closed loop
The hidden dangers of DIY gunsmithing done without guidance
Why modern "drop-in" parts often aren't drop-in at all
How one bad component can ruin an entire rifle
And why professional mentorship fast-tracks real progress
This episode also dives into why shooting fundamentals and rifle building must go hand-in-hand, and how Wolf Precision's Prosumer Gunsmithing School is designed to give shooters and builders the tools, knowledge, and confidence to do things the right way—safely, repeatably, and without guesswork.
Whether you're a long-range shooter, aspiring gunsmith, or someone tired of chasing problems you can't diagnose, this episode lays out the simple truth: learning correctly saves more than money—it saves time, effort, and sometimes lives.
