The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Jacob & Frank Talk UFOs

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Training Season is Over  As one door closes another door opens.  With Training Season over, we enter podcast & livestream season.  I want to start off by thanking everyone who attended training with us in 2024. This was a super successful season, we saw the return of Marc Taylor and entry of Chris Way with our classes.  We also had a lot of support and help from Laura during some tough times both recently and in the past. So again thank you to everyone who made it work in 2024.   Ended the season in a couple of locations, we did 2 classes in Ohio then I did a class and a clinic in Virginia finally ending our season in Fort Morgan with an Army Section. Each class had its own unique challenges that in the end, opened my mind to new possibilities.  We tested a lot of variations for classes as well as several tools like using a Starlink system to access the internet on the range.  All these tools will enhance the Hide TV experience which is my end goal.  On top of providing the very best training possible.  With Podcast season starting up, expect at least 2 episodes a week and at least one of them to be simulcast live on Hide TV.  These will have lesson, guest speakers and more. Hide TV is moving forward, we are super happy with the progress and the reception.  To all from US,   Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thank for interacting and being a part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast.  Lowlight

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: IPRF At Cameo plus Stuff  Spent a few days in Cameo Colorado checking out the IPRF Championship taking place there. Enjoyed visiting with a bunch of friends and doing a train up for Team AI.  We are training this week in Cameo up in the hills, then we head to Precision Rifle Expo, after which it's Ohio and Virginia. If you are interested in participating in a training event, stop by The Hide for more information.  Speaking of Team AI, the new ATXC is out, we went hands on with the rifle and really enjoyed it.  Big improvement over the ATX, runs like a custom action now.  I pre ordered an ATXC after running the bolt.  Hide TV is coming along nicely. New videos, but also podcasts will be going up on Hide TV.  We have a lot of changes taking place and this is just Gen 1 of the platform.  GEN 2 is looking to be even better.  Stop by the Hide and check it out.  As always, thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for being a part of the everyday sniper podcast. 

Hey Everyday Fan,  Chris and Frank today on the show talking about the Hunter Diagnostic we developed for guys to use prior to hunting season.  Extend your limits or just know your limits when it comes to taking game.  The Hunter Diagnostic can be found on Sniper's Hide in the Articles and breaks down the method to test.   Here is a bit of the Test:  Step 1: Paper at 100 Yards Shooting Positions and Sequence Perform the diagnostic from the three most likely positions you anticipate using during the hunt with the same equipment and ammunition. Follow a build-and-break sequence for each shot to simulate hunting conditions. Sequence: Build and Break Shots: Shoot from the three most likely positions you anticipate using during the hunt—three shots each, totaling 12 shots. Measuring Group Size at 100 Yards 1. Shoot a Group of 12 Shots: Perform the sequence of 12 build-and-break shots described above at 100 yards, ensuring shots are equally distributed across the three most likely positions you anticipate using during the hunt. 2. Measure the Widest Shot: Measure the distance in mils from the center to the farthest shot in each position’s group. This measurement is your group size. 3. Record the Group Size: Note this value as your group size in the shot bracket calculation worksheet. Give us some feedback, new season, Fall of 2024 has just started  Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for being a part of the everyday sniper podcast 

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: The Great Reset  So even though I did a couple podcast since My Mom passed away, I wanted to address all the changes that have happened since July 1st.  On July 1st we started the process to upgrade the site's engine to one designed for the future.  Future proofing an online experience is not only important, it's necessary for a healthy internet community.  While many people dislike change, this one was more under the hood then physical, but it does have some valid physical limitations.   Topics Covered:  Technical Support, don't email Frank he has no clue  Hide TV App vs SH Forum App  Hide TV Future - Your Living Room  Online Training Lessons have moved - See CR2 Shooting Solutions  Video's Future vs the Written Word when it comes too content creation  I really appreciate the patience while we transition. I know nobody likes technical difficulties and I understand some of you had technical difficulties, but we also have a pipeline to fix it.  Thank you all, for not just your patience,  your support during the passing of my Mom, the changes taking place, and with the entire Sniper's Hide infrastructure.  Cheers to you all.  Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for being a part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Defiance Action 18 Month Follow Up  It's been close to 18 months since Bob Beck and Eric Stecker bought Defiance Actions and it looked like the Internet was going to explode. The Internet drama machined ramped up into overdrive and since that time it's been pretty quiet.  During my last podcast with Team POI we touched on Defiance and what happened in terms of logistics and material support. Cole quickly changed the subject which lead to a phone call from Competition Shooter Nick Gardazi. Nick asked if I would open to having Bob Beck from Extreme Outer Limits on the show, which of course.  After a short back and forth, we landed, Nick, Bob and Eric on the Everyday Sniper podcast to talk about the transition during the initial moments they bought Defiance through today.  Areas of discussion with this episode include:  Initial Purchase of McMillan Stocks  The Decision to Purchase Defiance  The Reality of buying Defiance  The Initial Fallout of buying Defiance  Where Defiance is today  Where Defiance will go on July 1 2024   There is a little bit of business talk when it comes too the financial reality of buying Defiance Actions, however this adds important context to the steps that were taken immediately afterward that angered the shooting community  This was an honest and open discussion, I did not feel anyone was overly defensive which to me was a good sign.  And the anticipation of what they are doing moving forward as well as a look where they need to be as a team player. The key was Builder Network, how does a company supply and manage the builder network as that is where the problems arise. Delays in stocks, delays in actions, delays in barrels all add up. The model is support the builder network with best practices moving forward and it looks like they have a plan.

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: NF ELR Match, 1st Time Shooter  Welcome to the Everyday Sniper podcast, we have an awesome episode for everyone. So the NF ELR Match in WY is one of the most popular ELR Matches in the country.  Every Year Accuracy International visits my range to dope their rifles and this year they went 1, 2. 3...  So wanting to participate in ELR Competition Chris Way of RifleKraft Fame decided to throw his hat into the ring.  Chris is an accomplished competitor with enough Hardware to my Ace blush, so it was interesting to watch his work up for this event given he had life smack in the forehead before he even got started.  So let's listen to Chris' ELR Journey as a first time competitor at the NF ELR Match.  Life comes at you fast so be flexible is what I can say about the first part. You have to decide, do I stay or do I go, isn't that the million dollar question?   Then, when thrown a curve, as in my data doesn't match my ranges what do you do?  Do you fold and go home or do you adjust and persevere ?  In the end it's the experience right, taking a big swing with the bat in an effort to gain as much as possible or just be another man on the line.  Chris gives you all the details as he recorded every piece of data imaginable as he followed the ELR Path down that endless rabbit hole we call shooting.  Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for being a part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast. 

The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Cole Quarnberg and TeamPOI  Welcome to the everyday sniper podcast, on today's episode I have Cole Quarnberg from TeamPOI, actually Cole wears a lot of hats and we talk about a bunch of them.  This is bit, a state of the industry when it comes to marketing, the internet and our gun industry. It's a bit strange how the gun industry will at the same time protect itself at all costs while eating its own.  You hate to see it, but it's reality of the world we live in.   We spent some time talking about his acquisition of Straight Jacket Armory and the changes he is making there.  Before Cole took over operations at SJA, there was a few customer service issues.  From there our discussion turned to how you make changes and handle a business in 2024 when a customer can go right to the internet to complain before they ever call for a solution.  It's a weird dynamic and very real one I deal with over at Sniper's Hide.  On the one hand we love our manufacturers, on the other hand we have to resist the want to burn them down when things don't go our way.  Cole is a solid individual who is looking to do right by his customers and this industry.  Thanks for Cole for coming on the Podcast, addressing issues from the forum and laying out a path forward for not just his customers, but anyone who wants to do better. Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for being a part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast.
