The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb: CR2 Shooting Crew

Alright, coming off the heels of my last podcast where I rant about shooting far, here we have the CR2 Shooting Crew to expand. 

From here we are talking radios, communication and why you should not overlook it. 

Shoot, Move, Communicate, that was the mantra 

Next we talk the mountains, CR2 Shooting Solutions is teaming up with Chris Way to offer a mountain course at Cameo.  This should be an excellent representation of what it takes to operate in the mountains, 

Enjoy this one, we did, thanks for listening, sharing and being a part of the everyday sniper podcast, cheers,

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Bing Bang Boom Ricochet Rabbit

This was a fun one, I was a bit wound up today. I have had several calls over the last few days about calibers and cartridges.  So I was worked with guys talking about going big.  Go big, everyone wants to go big, but not Me, I want to go small. 

Light is Right 

There I said, I told you guys for awhile now, lighter bullets are better. It's a fact you can't get around.  Speed wins, as well speed kills, so why do they want to go so heavy.  Well because they want to shoot far, which I understand. Push the envelope.  But we are snipers, and we can't really push the envelope because we are small and light.  We need to be mobile. 

The big guns are awesome, they get all the attention. But they are not always practical because, well, you have to carry it.  Not to mention shoot it, with all that means, shooting far is not easy.

This is training too, now you have to teach the guy more about ballistics and less about his job moving from point a to point b.  

listen up I am on fire today,  so thanks for listening, thanks for sharing and thanks for being a part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast.

The Everyday SniperPodcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition, Reflect, Reset, Reengage 

Quick little episode for you as I had nothing to say but a lot of energy to say it.  In this episode I want you to reflect on the previous year of shooting.  Then reset your equipment and mind, then reengage when you head back out for the season.

So really just a mindset lesson, things to reflect on and think about. Combine this with what we spoke about in the last episode with Ted.

Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition Ted Hoeger Day Zero 

Welcome to the Everyday Sniper Podcast Knowledge Bomb Edition with Ted Hoeger.  Ted teaches basic precision rifle classes in Iowa and calls his program Day Zero.  Ted is there to guide the new shooter on all aspects of starting out.

In this episode we talk the decisions that go into choosing the systems we do.  The initial buy is always the hardest because you have the least amount of information.  We try to fill in those gaps.

Ted Hoeger and I talk about 

• Stocks 

We really deep dive with the buying decisions. 

I zoomed this call and it's a big quiet but clear as my system was not set up for zooming but it should be fine.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition Ted Hoeger 

Welcome to the Everyday Sniper Podcast, Knowledge Bomb Editions were we try to educate the shooter to the best of our ability. 

In this episode I have Ted Hoeger on Zoom to talk to new shooters.  Ted teaches what he calls a Day Zero course, where the shooter is in the early stages of their precision rifle journey. 

So to start our conversation, Ted and I start at Day Zero, what are the considerations when buying your first precision rifle.  Initially I go over the thought process, as well I put our thinking into the context of our decisions.

• Stocks 

We hit on as much as we can think of ... 

The Zoom call was a bit quiet, my computers were not set up for it this time, but we'll fix that, I normally don't use Zoom, I use my board and the phone, but this is clean, just quiet

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Editions: Tools to Talk About 

Dry Fire is a tool, we use dry fire to build positive neural pathways that help us execute the task without overthinking it.  The mind knows we want the body to follow. 

If A is the beginning of our precision rifle journey and C is the culmination of our efforts, how much work do we need to put in so we can travel from A to C?  While each person and situation is different, we can create methods to help guide us on our journey.

Sniper's Hide is getting a makeover we'll be back soon 

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Tim Parkhurst USMC Scout Sniper Association 

Welcome to the Everyday Sniper Podcast, in this episode we talk to Tim Parkhurst President of the USMC Scout Sniper Association. 

Tim has stopped by the Everyday Sniper Podcast to talk about the SS/A Annual 03/17 Day Raffle. This year is extra special because the Scout Sniper Association is raffling off a custom, period-correct Winchester Model 70 Sniper Rifle. 

This Winchester Model 70 Sniper Rifle uses take-off parts from actual serving rifles and is a very special piece of history.   The USMC never really issued the Model 70 Sniper Rifle but instead fielded less than 500 rifles from WWII to Vietnam.  Stop by the Association Website for your Tickets. 

Tim was recently at the Gathering of Snipers during the Guardian Long Range Competition.  Gary Larson and the Guardian Matches are currently sharing hosting duties with the Army and USMC Sniper Associations.  Tim was able to stop by and visit.  The Gatherings of Snipers is a new get-together featuring Army and Marine Snipers. 

I really enjoyed talking to Tim, the flow is fun, and the raffle is important.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition Bryan Morgan Hatcreek

Another Knowledge Bomb Edition, this time with Bryan Morgan, the "M" from the original K&M and the Owner / Operator of Hatcreek in Idaho. 

Bryan runs an outstanding program for shooting high angles and alternates that are used by a wide variety of shooters. It's an honor to have Bryan on the podcast, an accomplished precision rifle shooter, competitor, and instructor.  

Bryan talks about the unique challenges when shooting in the mountains. How he teaches and his mantra to "See it and fix it", I think is a great tool. 

Enjoy the episode be sure to share, and don't forget to comment.  Either here in the Podbean App or on the Sniper's Hide Forum.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Knowledge Bomb Edition, Joel Russo Terminus Actions 

Actions ! 

I put the word out and you all responded, we want to talk about actions out there. Like Custom Actions, pros, cons, where are we going, the question was actions.  So I reached out to Joel Russo of Terminus Actions as in my opinion it's one of the most modern actions we have available. 

Terminus Actions are switch caliber capable and offer standard configurations. But more importantly, we want to talk about the "why", why does Joel do the things he does. 

I mean common on man, we hand torque barrels on today. 

So Joel and I engage in a nice conversation about the Terminus Actions and how they change the game for the end-user.

Thanks to Joel Russo for coming on the Everyday Sniper Podcast, thanks to all the listeners, and commenters we have.
