Episode Details

Welcome back to Episode 258 of the Long Range Shooting & Custom Rifle Building Podcast presented by Wolf Precision Incorporated. Jamie Dotson wishes everyone a Happy New Year and shares what he believes is the number one reason to get into long-range shooting: it's magical.

From the unforgettable pause between the shot and the impact, to the satisfaction of steering a bullet through wind and distance, Jamie explains why ringing steel at 1,000 yards never gets old—and why stepping away from shooting for too long makes you forget just how much fun it really is. He also dives into the camaraderie of the shooting community, the friendships it creates, and why this sport has a way of making people feel like they belong.

Plus: a reminder about the two all-inclusive Long Range Shooting School giveaway slots—one for people who follow Wolf Precision on Patreon (free), and one for Wolf Pack members.
