We are getting into our rifle building season and wanted to cover some commonly asked or needed to be ask questions.  This includes how to select or decide on the different critical parts.  We are also launching our new "Because you ask!" video series that will be both on YouTube and our Gun Care Tutorial Pages here at Wolf Precision.   How it is going to work and what we are going to cover.   Thank you for your support and don't forget to check out the live version of the podcast on YouTube...

In our first live recoding of the podcast, I invite Adam Tack onto the show.  Adam is a team member here at Wolf Precision and our Sales and Operations Manager.  He is also a 27 year veteran of The Marines Corp. with a lot of experience in shooting and training.   We hope you enjoy the interview with Adam.  vist our YouTube Channel Patreon Membership and Support - Patreon Membership Wolf Precision Custom Rifles.  www.wolfprecision.net Online Long Range Shooting School....

In this episode, we continue on our four pillars of marksmanship series and focus in on follow through. Follow through is not an action, but an intentional inaction. Want to take your shooting to the next level?  Follow through is usually the last missing key. We also discuss BDC turrets and why we don't use or even recommend them along with some updates on the 22 Creedmoor.

In this episode we continue on our 4 part series for laying the foundation to the fundamentals of marksmanship! Part 2: Preparing to take the shot! We are now on target and getting ready to shoot. How we prepare is more important than the act of pulling the trigger. Your results can be predicted, whether they are good or bad, by your attention and preparation. Focus more on preparing for the shot rather than just the hitting of the target and success will follow!   Wolf Pack Training...

In this episode we begin our revisit of the 4 part series for laying the foundation to the fundamentals of marksmanship! Part 1: The set up! It is where everything starts and where many things go wrong introducing error into the shot before you even get on the rifle to pull the trigger. Want to improve your shooting instantly? Pay attention to the small details that matter and it all starts here.   Wolf Pack Training Center Patreon Membership and Support - Patreon Membership Wolf...

With hunting season coming, this is a great time to bring this back to the forefront.  In this episode we start to discuss the upcoming series on the 4 pillars for laying the foundation to the fundamentals of marksmanship. We discuss the upcoming series and the fundamentals.  It's art, it's science but at the core it's a solid foundation that is the building block to mastering the rifle.  Take control and don't allow your foundation to be built on shaky ground.   Wolf Pack Training Center ...

There are many reasons why people undertake or pursue learning how to build and maintain their very own rifles.  And it's not always just about the money or cost savings.  The two other reasons are expediency and quality.  And until now you you could only have two of the the three choice.  Cheap, Fast Good If you want it fast and good, it's not going to be cheap. If you want cheap and fast, it's usually not going to be good. If you want it cheap and good, it's probably not going to be...

The ACE in action, but not mentioned.  This podcast is a mix of business, industry, the ACE and changes.  We are proud of Derick and the work he has done. Derick was the first to ever hit the Cold Bore Shot Challenge and won the day at the Black Jack Challenge.  Great job on both!  Sadly, the ACE and Wolf Precision were edited from mention.  That said, great job and both are great channels to watch. In this podcast we are also excited to have our new online store open and our 2025 shooting...

This is as much a business podcast as it is a shooting podcast.   Our industry has so many secrets and back door dealings hidden from the public that at first glance seem, to most, harmless.  But make no mistake, it is a back door that will eventually close many businesses in the firearms industry.  I really recommend doing research when dealing with or looking for products from these industries and reward those who support our industry with your business. And, be sure to tell them the reason...

When talking about the magnums and 30 caliber hunting rifles, most accept the recoil delivered out of the box.  Some think I am "anti-magnum" for this reason.  I am not and really want to spread the word that if you are recoil sensitive or a younger shooter, you do not have to be anti-magnum either.  There are many tricks to dropping the recoil and the big 30 calibers have huge range you can play with when it comes to manipulating these factors.   The 300 PRC can be brought into line with the...

We are diving into the 7mm calibers.  Any chance you can get them to recoil in the enjoyable range of 0-10 Foot pounds of energy on the shooter?  You bet, and we will explain how along with some other reasons why this so is important besides just recoil reduction. A really important and ofter overlooked tool is setting up your rifle to be able to self spot. We also answer a listeners question on properly adjusting your length of pull on your rifle.  There are some challenges in getting this...

Moving on to the 6.5 calibers in Magnums.   This is where I think the divide starts with newer shooters starting to have either negative reactions to the shot or at least reducing the fun.  That said, there are ways to make the bigger 6.5's more than capable of killing altmost any big game animal in the world without killing the sender in the process.   We want to share some our experiences with you. Having shot a .264WM for years and have taken Elk with it.  I can share with you all my...

The 6.5 short action calibers...this is where most of the separation starts when it comes to the line in the sand for big game. In the US, it is considered unethical by some. In Europe, it is the number one moose caliber used. What is the difference? We will let you be the judge as we make the case as to why this is such a great caliber for new, young, or recoil sensitive shooters. It's about shot placement and the shooter's ability to reliably and repeatably put the bullet on the mark every...

In this episode we dive into the 6mm calibers.   Often thought of the next big step when growing a young or new shooter.  This caliber is very capable for medium to big game given the right distance and bullet combo.  Again, our focus is improving the accuracy of the shooter and the enjoyment of their experience with the rifle. Big news,  we want to give something nice away for all those attending our Online Long Range Shooting School.   This year we are going to give away a slot for our Oct...

So you want to shoot better?   We start into the 22 Creedmoor and use our new rating system to run the numbers for you, the hunter or shooter.   We also touch base on some new video hosting policies and introduce you to our new Wolf Pack.  Thank you Ken A for a great rating system we are going to use.  Please reach out to us for some really cool swag we would like to send your way. Caliber Rating Score Card in Foot Pounds of Recoil Energy Enjoyable: 1-10 ft-lbs Comfortable: 10-20 ...

I thought this was a great interview with Derick. It was not planned and not recorded to be one, but in the end Derick ask if he could post it.   Of course, I said yes.   Derick attended our shooting school in March of 2024 and purchased a custom rifle featuring the ACE from us last year.  He is not only a great guy, but a Veteran and former Drill Sergeant. Both of which I have a lot of respect for. Derick was leaving on an invite to the Black Jack Challenge held by YouTuber Erik Cortina. ...

So let's talk numbers.   Although I am going to share with you my opinions on all the different calibers going forward, the numbers never lie.  In this episode I want to share with you a recoil calculator that I find to be an invaluable tool while trying to build a rifle, select your caliber or even when selecting a bullet.   This tool gives you a chance to change just a couple little things and see the results you will get in both recoil energy and recoil velocity.  And recoil velocity is...

Setting the rules of the road.  So, we are going to advocate going with the smallest caliber you think you can get by with.  But how do you compare them?   What are the parameters or measurements you would use to quantify or qualify the results to get an accurate comparison?  This is how I am going to approach this and come up with a score.  This is all with a baseline of comparison shooting a small .224 caliber like the .223 Rem, 222 Rem or 22 Hornet. Recoil Tolerance Score of 0-100:  How...

Let's start small.  At least as small as you can legally shoot for hunting in most states.  We are going to kick this series off with the small .224 calibers you can choose from.  The 22 Hornet, 222 Rem and the .223 Rem.   This is not a list of ideas. This is a list of killing-capable calibers for deer- sized game and below.   I know this from experience as my Grandfather and my family has hunted with the first two calibers for decades.  Taking more deer than you could fit in a dump truck and...

I want to share with you, from my humble opinion formed over nearly 2 decades of training people on the fundamentals of marksmanship, the #1 way to improve your shooting abilities, your groups and your shot placement.  This really is the #1 way to hone and sharpen your fundamentals.  Go with .................................!

Legend has it that many sailors have been hypnotized by the sweet song of the sirens, causing them to crash their boats into rocks and land.  But first, sailors need to venture into siren territory before the sweet sound can grace their ears and their hearts, luring them into a fate with reckless abandonment. We are shooters, not sailors, but the song is still sung for our ears and our hearts.  It's not a ship on the ocean, but a crack of the rifle that sends a bullet at breakneck speed with...

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...
