We Suck At PRS… But You should Listen Anyway – Chad, CJ, & Jeromy

This week on the Out of State Hunter Podcast, Chad is joined once again by CJ and Jeromy to break down their latest experience at a Precision Rifle match. While they didn’t walk away with trophies, they definitely connected with targets and picked up valuable lessons along the way. The crew dives into what gear performed under pressure, what’s getting cut from their kits, and how competitive shooting sharpens real-world hunting skills. If there's one takeaway, it's this: have fun, stay humble, and keep putting rounds downrange.
