In this episode of the Wolf Precision Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson introduces the next evolution of training at Wolf Precision: the Prosumer Gunsmithing School. After more than 20 years of building custom rifles and teaching long-range shooting, Jamie explains why learning to select components, understand rifle systems, and build your own custom rifle is one of the most valuable skills a shooter can develop.

This episode discusses:

• The philosophy behind the Prosumer Gunsmithing School • Why selecting the right components (actions, barrels, stocks, and chassis) is critical • The importance of hands-on learning versus watching videos online • What students will experience during the two-day in-person class • How the course builds confidence for shooters wanting to assemble or maintain their own rifles • Upcoming class announcements and what to expect in the coming months

Jamie also shares updates on the 2026 training season, upcoming shooting schools, and how members of the Wolf Pack can participate in special giveaways and receive benefits on classes and Wolf Precision products.

If you've ever considered building your own custom rifle, or simply want to better understand the components and decisions that go into a precision rifle, this episode is the perfect place to start.
