I hit on a few topics: PRS Clarification Prime Ammo Discounts Training vs Competition My Competition Schedule Thanks for all the feedback on the last few episodes, this topic is far from over. Everyone want to discuss the passion vs payout episode. We'll leave that for a later date. Thanks for listening and thanks for sharing

The Everyday Sniper Episode 86 Passion vs Payout So I have been getting a lot of feedback regarding the PRS talk in the Gunwerks episode. So I wanted to address it as best I could. I have been getting a lot of calls on the subject of the PRS and my take on the ROI etc. So without wanting to go down the rabbit hole, I venture anyway and hopefully put this to bed. I really have no interest in discussing the PRS as a series anymore. I have no issue with talking competition I just dont want to venture down this path. It's not productive and I am not a member, nor am I hosting a match that belongs to a series. I appreciate the passion, but I am gonna check out of this discussion.

The Everyday Sniper Episode 84 Gunwerks After Action Back from Cody WY and the Gunwerks Monster Steel Challenge. Talking about the time there, I may have to do a part two in order to fit all this in.

Mentoring PRS Stages Field Stages, Tikka LH GT Barrel 130gr Prime Ammo Jon Pynch Winner Team Gunwerks Training and Rifles Thanks for listening and sharing, be sure to stop by Sniper's Hide to post your questions.

The Everyday Sniper Episode 83 Gunwerks Blown Primers I am here in Cody, WY, getting ready for the registration and sight in day at the Gunwerks PRS match. I managed to dope and check everything usng the Tikka Tac A1. Everything went like clockwork with the 130gr Prime ammo, but switching to the hot and heavy handload it immediately blew a primer and broke the bolt. Lucky I was able to swap bolts to work Spring handloads in a hot summer rifle is not the answer here and I need to go mild. Thanks for listening to the Everyday Sniper and hopefully you can learn from the mistakes I make. Cheers,

The Everyday Sniper Episode 82 Gunwerks Pre Match Just getting ready to leave for the Cody Wy Gunwerks Match and ran into an issue with my Tikka Tac A1 in the heat. Popped 2 primers killed my ejector, had to run to MHSA to fix it. Logan took care of me, and got me back up and running. Because my range session was cut short, I am consider going 100% to my Prime Ammo load. Though I mix in some 136gr Scenars because I am expecting the wind to be bad. With my LH Gain Twist Barrel both loads are zeroed together. This is the benefit of the Gain Twist Barrel. Lots going on, conversations on Sniper's Hide, talking wind, BCs, Truing, and all those recurring topics. Thanks for listening and Sharing.

The Everyday Sniper Episode 72 Scope Calibration In this episode we talk about scope calibration as a primary step to setting up your ballistic calculator. One of the first things mentioned in the Kestrel Presentation was scope calibration. It's important to tell the software how your scope actually tracks so it can correct any errors you might encounter. It's quite common for a scope to be off 1% - 2% and it's an easy enough fix as most software has the ability to adjust this. Simple process does not take up a lot of time and can be done without shooting. Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing and thanks for being a part of the Everyday Sniper
