Wolf Precision's Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast Jamie Dodson

In this episode I would like to share with you personally why I have worked so hard in documenting our shooting school to put online and to share.  This is the story of Wolf Precision and Jamie Dodson as we grew through the years in our ability to do and eventually teach.
Now, as I get older I would like to document all that we have learned to share and live forever.  Even after I am long gone, I hope to leave something behind of value for the next generation of shooters.  I also wanted to take the time to do it while I was still young enough and on my A game.   Because eventually we all start to slow down and forget some many things we have learned over the years.  This is my story, my life's journey and I hope to share it with those who love or have a passion for learning the fundamentals of marksmanship and wanting to grow into the best shooter they can be.

One of my first experiences trying to get into long range match shooting was something that I think a lot of us have experienced.  You show up to play the game then are belittled or looked down upon because you can't afford the name brand or custom equipment that others can.  I have personally experienced being judged and left feeling like I shouldn't be there because I can't afford to play the game at their level, being scoffed at like a blue collar worker at the yacht club.  Worst yet, you are left feeling like "why bother?" because you feel you have no chance of competing because you can't afford to play the game at their level while others have the means to buy their way into the winners circle.
My life's work was to be able to bridge that gap between factory and custom.  And then, go one step further, leap frog in front of those who think that if you pay more, they will get more.  Changing the industry and blurring the line between factory and custom because we can improve the quality and close the money gap at the same time.
To provide an alternative, something better than custom or a name brand.  A premium rifle using premium parts and built using next generation technology and machine tools that drive innovation and eventually lowers the cost for all.  And create a system that provides that level over and over, week after week and year after year is our dream and the mark of progress. 
That is the future where everyone deserves to have a great shooting rifle, one they can be proud to own and will never leave you feeling it's a game that only the rich can play.

The shooting season has begun and so have the schools.  With over 15 years of teaching on the firing line, the things we learn and see often have a great value to those planning on doing such events in the future.  Especially those who are getting ready to experience a class for the first time.  Regardless the class or the location, here are some things that are already standing out this season and are worthy of both sharing and discussing how to prevent these things from happening to you.

In this episode, we discuss at length, carbon fiber barrels...the good, the bad and truly how do you make a decision.  Everyone building a custom rifle wants a great looking rifle.  Should you choose carbon for that reason?  What about a match or long range rifles, would it make a good choice there as well?
I have this conversation every week with customers.  I really want to share with you my personal throughts on why you may want to choose it or on the other hand why you may not want to choose it.  There is a lot of misinformation on the pros and cons. I want to simply share with you what I know and have come to experience in buildling rifles for nearly two decades.  
We hope you enjoy.

We are excited to invite Bruce Thom from BAT Machine Co. back on to the show talk about their new release, the Hammerhead.  Known for being one of the very best actions made, this new model is in my mind the pinnacle of what a tactical action could be in both quality, design and of course accuracy.  Join us on our conversation with Bruce about the newest release and his insight into making world class receivers.

So, you have your hunting rifle or match rifle ready for the season and now it is time to practice.  This is a fork in the road for most shooters.  Hunting rifles often are expensive to shoot and have more recoil than most would enjoy for a full day at the range.  Match rifles are made for shooting, but we often hold back because of the expense of the ammo, reloading components or simply you do not want to wear out your barrel.  It's like having that 1973 Cuda (my dream car) and not taking it out of the garage for fear of putting miles on her.
Well you have two choices...just go and shoot the rifle and take the punishment and expense or build a trainer (think daily driver).   A training rifle is more than just another tool, it is the tool that will allow you to grow as a marksman. 
Now this should be a mirror of your working rifle.  Now, if you cannot afford a second "clone" rifle, the good news is you can often just change out a barrel and bolt these days and turn it into your trainer, saving you some money.
Lastly, we talk about the caliber and why this decision is so important if you want to get the most from it and your training with it.
