The Everyday Sniper Episode 245: Frank Green of Bartlein Barrels
An often-repeated question I was getting in the Podbean App has focused on Barrel contours.  I was gonna answer this question several times and get into the heat and weight discussion but decided to reach out to Bartlein Barrels and ask Frank Green to come on the podcast.I think this entry episode with Frank is a master class on discussing the various pro and cons of barrel features and options.  Frank breaks down the concepts in an easy to understand format. We start out talking contours, that is the main focus of the conversation.  We get into twist rates, which brings us to Gain Twist barrels.  The experience over several years of Bartlein doing the Gain Twist for many different shooting disciplines.  
I really appreciate Frank coming on, this is an excellent episode. Have a great week, stay safe, protect yourself at all times, to include the family.Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, and thanks for commenting.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Ted Hoeger's European Shooting Vacation 
Zoom Call today, Ted Hoeger from Iowa, past student, friend of the podcast. Ted he traveled to Norway and Italy to shoot some European PRS events.  Getting Ted's insights into the travel, logistics, atmosphere, weapons used was super valuable information and too good to pass up, 
Ted is compiling information so US Shooters can find everything necessary to travel to Europe safely and successfully to shoot their PRS style events.  Hearing all this from a source is super important, him wanting to make it every 2 years is even cooler.  
The Norway event was 3 days and traveled to 3 different venues which is super unique.  That sounds too cool for words. No home range advantage when you have 3 different looks for terrain.  Big props to the Norway Match Director, he sounds like a big thinker if you ask me. Ted's next stop was to Italy, I have spoke to Davide over there and I am very familiar with his work. They are big time building a solid shooting community, and really that is what it is all about, community vs the individual.  I find Davide's leadership inspiring and his commitment to education is to be commended on every level. 
Finally I go on my typical rant, I have high respect for Ted, and don't want to put him on the spot, but I feel he is well placed to make a few minor changes.  I don't do it to be ugly, I do it to improve the overall experience here in the US. The fact that I don't want to shoot anything in the South East bothers me, I should want to shoot everything and I don't.  That's said. 
But thank you Ted, I really appreciate you taking your time, spending it with me on the computer. Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for being a big part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Check it, don't Wreck it 
Man I am getting old, like really old, my eyes are dying, my mind is frying, I would forget my own head it wasn't attached at the neck.  Making mental mistakes has been a growing concern of mine. I need checklists and notes now to remind myself too do things I used to do religiously.  Shooting is the same way, we get complicit, we get lazy, we have competition or training scars that appear when they are not wanted. 
I want you to think checklists, what are some checklists we can use to organize and manage our gear.  Where is your laser, how about a spare dope card, got a chamber flag in there ?  
In the military we used to practice getting stuff out of our packs in the dark.  Where do things go, how so you access them when you are in a hurry, can't see ?  All solid questions.
In this podcast I talk: 
Scope Mount 
Group Buys 
KMW Tac Ops Collaboration Rifle 
Gravity Ballistics with a 22 
May Cameo Class 
Hide TV Upgrades 
We have a lot of new upgrades getting ready to happen at Sniper's Hide.  Be sure to download the SH App in your favorite App Store to take advantage of the features. 
Thanks for listening, thanks for visiting, and thanks for sharing.  Lowlight
