The Everyday Sniper Episode 197, True Range Zero, User Comments

In this episode, I talk about your True Range Zero and what the end-user can do to fix issues with software to help fine-tune your truing.  With a true range zero a group that is just .1 mils above center moves your group to 150 yards in terms of how the computer looks at it.  So it's important to understand these variations. 

Talking Gun Control a tiny bit, all about the messaging we are being attacked with.  Make sure you do your part. 

Some singing, a little stairway,  and random musings. 

The Everyday Sniper Episode 196 Communicate, Move, Shoot

Thanks for listening and subscribing to the Everyday Sniper Podcast. In this episode we talk, Communication,  Movement and Shooting.

I was working with two guys from California this week who are attending the local Competition Dynamics Team event and getting them spun required them to looking at the match in a different way.  They shot it before but with very little prep work, so putting in that extra work required this type of discussion.

The Everyday Sniper Episode 195 MN AAR,

Back from my class in MN and wanted to say thanks to all who attended. Also a big thanks to Eric S for approaching me about it, then a special thank you to the board members who approved the class. It's always great to visit new locations and see the dynamic of these ranges.  The students were awesome too, everyone improved and we got to see first hand the benefit of instruction.

The Everyday Sniper Episode 193 Chassis talk, Hunter Ballistics Musings

Welcomes to the Everyday Sniper, in this episode I breakdown some thoughts on Marc's weaponized maths.  I shot a video for the Sniper's Hide Online Training featuring the use of the math, and it worked out really well here in CO.  I had to make a few minor tweaks at the extended ranges, but overall, excellent little video to show you how to put it in practice. This conversation Segways into the talk of ballistics. A hunter came on Sniper's Hide and was confused by setting up his ballistic computer for his hunting rifle. Part of the issue is trying to have these longer range zeros on the rifles.  For a modern shooter, I recommend a 100 yards then for hunting you can always dial up to 200, or 300 yards.  But still you need to know you rifle and it's drop.  Guys making these long impressive shots on animals are not winging it.  They treat it the same as hitting a target in a match.  In other words they are putting in their homework on the subject.

The Everyday Sniper Episode 192 Post Class Wind talk, Chassis, Podbean Q&A

Just finished the August MHSA Precision Rifle class here in Colorado. We had a crazy 25 to 45MPH wind hit us on Saturday. So we had a great opportunity to shoot in a 30MPH headwind with Mike's 6CM.  Listen to the episode if you want to know what we saw. 

We do our normal Q&A with the Podbean questions we had some very good ones this time around. Questions like, 

• How do DQ A shooter in a Match 

It's always fun interacting with the listeners so be sure to post your question if you want it read during an episode. 

Finally, I put the call out for some questions regarding stocks.  We recently lost JAE as a builder, and people want to know what stocks and chassis are out there and how they can help.

The Everyday Sniper Episode 191 Fundamental Breakdown, Elements vs FoM

I was looking over some old military marksmanship manuals, not so much for the mistakes, but to see where things evolved from the Elements of a good shooting position to the fundamentals of marksmanship.  And in thinking about the different techniques we use for shooting the various disciplines we engage in, how the fundamentals and the elements of a good position apply. 

It really comes down to education, knowing what fundamental controls what and how the rifle system marries to that fundamental.  I talk Accuracy and Precision, we all know the rifle system can have a bearing on both.  As will the shooter and his or her fundamentals when it comes to executing the firing task.  

Hopefully, this episode of the Everyday Sniper makes you think about all there elements.
