In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie shares lessons learned from the recent Moving Target Clinic in Swainsboro, Georgia. After spending several days watching shooters tackle challenging moving targets, one thing became very clear: success in shooting often comes down to mindset.

Jamie breaks down the story of two very different shooters and how their approach to pressure, patience, and emotional control dramatically affected their performance on the firing line. From tiny moving targets at 400 yards to a challenging 1,000-yard balloon shot, the class provided powerful examples of how the mental side of shooting can make or break a shot.

This episode explores:

1. Why patience and timing matter when engaging moving targets
2. How emotional highs and lows can sabotage your shooting
3. The importance of detaching your ego from the shot
4. Real stories from the firing line that illustrate the difference between reacting and executing

Whether you're shooting movers, competing in matches, or simply trying to improve your marksmanship, this episode highlights one of the most important skills a shooter can develop: control of the mind behind the rifle.

As always, Jamie also shares updates from Wolf Precision and reflects on the camaraderie and lessons learned from another outstanding class. Tune in and discover why sometimes the biggest difference between hitting and missing isn't the rifle—it's the mindset behind the trigger.

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

In this episode of the Wolf Precision Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson sits down with EriK Cortina, competitive shooter and creator of the Cortina Precision tuner system, to discuss one of the most debated accessories in precision rifle shooting, barrel tuners.

Barrel tuners have become extremely popular in competitive shooting, particularly in F-Class and PRS circles. But what do they actually do? Are they shrinking groups, or simply changing barrel harmonics and recoil characteristics?

Erik shares the story behind how he first started experimenting with tuners, the inspiration he took from the Browning BOSS system, and how early success in competition helped launch the tuner movement. The discussion dives into the real-world testing, tuning process, and the common misconceptions shooters have about what tuners can and can't do.

In the end, the conversation lands on an honest conclusion: a barrel tuner is simply another tool in the toolbox. For some rifles and shooters it may offer an advantage, while for others it may make little difference. But like seating depth, powder charge, or bullet choice, it's another variable shooters can explore in the pursuit of smaller groups.

Jamie closes the episode with final thoughts on tuners, how they may influence barrel harmonics, and why skill, fundamentals, and experience still matter more than any piece of equipment.
