    What It’s Like Competing in PRS With Your Son

    This week, we sit down with Nicholas and Jesse Gebhardt, a father-son duo from Montana who have spent years traveling, competing, and growing together through precision rifle shooting. Nicholas is the 2025 PRS Tactical Division Champion, while 16-year-old Jesse represents the next generation of competitors making their way into the sport. Nicholas and Jesse take us through their journey—from Jesse tagging along to his dad’s matches at just eight years old to beginning his own competitive PRS journey at 16. They talk about what it's like being teammates and competitors at the same time, helping each other develop match plans, traveling across the country together, and creating memories that go far beyond the firing line. The conversation also dives into one of the biggest lessons Nicholas wishes he had taught Jesse earlier: how to read the wind and make his own wind calls. They explain how they build wind plans, adjust when conditions change, and compare their own observations before a stage rather than simply relying on someone else's call. Along the way, they discuss rifle setups, competition mindset, trigger control, staying composed after good and bad stages, the growth of their family business, and what the future could look like for Jesse and the next generation of PRS shooters. At its core, this episode is about more than shooting—it’s about a father and son sharing a sport, learning from each other, and making the most of the time they have together.

The crew also gets into match mentality, how watching other shooters struggle can affect an entire squad, Clay’s injury, equipment and caliber decisions, and what could make this year’s PRS Finale especially interesting.

    The Biggest Myth About Hornady

    In this episode, we sit down with Seth Swerczek from Hornady to talk about the engineering, manufacturing, testing, and real-world shooting experience behind some of the industry’s most influential cartridges and bullets. We break down why modern cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor, 7 PRC, and 25 Creedmoor exist, how Hornady turns wildcat cartridges into standardized factory options, and why newer designs can offer better performance with less recoil. Seth also explains how modern rifles, optics, rangefinders, and bullet technology have completely changed what shooters should expect from their equipment. We also get into the difference between match and hunting bullets, Hornady’s product-development process, the company’s Nebraska wildfire relief efforts, and why so many Hornady employees actively compete, hunt, and use the products they help create. If you’ve ever wondered whether Hornady is really an engineering company or “just good at marketing,” this conversation gives you a look behind the curtain.
