Paul and I look take some time to look back at the IPRF World Championship that took place in France and share our thoughts on the event. We discus what we thought they did right and what could have been better. We look at the course of fire and what made is so awesome. We talk about why this event was so big for our sport. We talk about the results, how each of us finished, and I talk about my rifle issue. At the end we answer a listener question. I am going to try and incorporate more listener questions into the format going forward as they provide a way for listeners to get involved and start productive discussions. Thanks for listening!

Sorry about the introduction, it was cut off somehow. In this episode we are in France at the AirBnb sitting in a circle talking about what happened during our travels so far in the first day and a half. This show features Paul Higley, Greg Bell, Rusty Ulmer, Matt Partain, and Buck Holly. We have a good time and towards the end we answer a couple listener questions. 

Marcus Olsson is on of the best shooters in Europe and a founder of the International Precision Rifle Federation (IPRF). We talk about the world championships happening in a couple weeks. Both of us are competing in the world championships and we chat about what our expectations of the match are and some of the common questions we get about the upcoming match. 

This episode I am joined with the owner of Strike Without Warning, BJ DeGroot. He has designed the Tuning Muzzle Brake(TMB), which is the most effective brake I have ever used. We discuss his design philosophy and the features of the TMB. We also discuss the differences in the PRS in Australia vs the US, rifle balance, rifle setup, stage timing, and more. 

We talk about shooting the Hornady PRC and discuss proper match etiquette. 

Brady and I discuss the Hornady Precision NRL Hunter match in Price, UT. We talk about what we do to be successful and what to expect when you show up to a NRL Hunter match.

On this episode Garret Preece of Preece Precision and I discuss the definition of gaming. We talk about what it is and the ethics of it. The important question is, "is gaming cheating?" We answer the question and discuss what you can do to better play the "game" of precision rifle shooting. 

We discuss the hot topic of caliber selection. When people learn that I am shooting 6.5 Creedmoor it catches many people's attention in the precision rifle competition community. While the 6.5 Creed is a wildly popular cartridge, it has become less popular among PRS/NRL competitors in favor of lower recoiling cases like the 6 Dasher, 6 BR, and 6 BRA. I personally have shot the 6 Dasher for several years and love the round. It allowed competitors to shoot the same BC bullet the same speed as a 6.5 creed or 6.5x47L with significantly less recoil. With the advent of 153-156 class of bullets from Berger and Hornady, the extra BC has made the 6.5s look more and more appealing. The question is the bang worth the buck?

In this episode Paul Higley, Brady Allinson, and I, discuss a listener question about transferring local match performance to a two-day match. This gets into a ton of different topics, like what makes two-day matches harder, training, pre-stage and pre-flight checklists, and more. Thanks for listening!

Paul and I talk about the AG Cup at the K&M shooting facility in Finger, TN. We also address a couple listener questions and ramble. Hope you guys enjoy it!
