  • Chad and Francis are full of knowledge

    Chad and Francis are full of knowledge. I just got into PRS last year after a buddy got me into it and RO’ing my first stage which was a 2 Day Pro “Frostbite”. A year later and I think I’ve listened to every episode 4 times and some like the reloading tips a few more than that. Highly recommend subscribing to these guys and learn you a thing or two. Keep up the good work and hope to be out shooting with you guys this year.

  • The best source for new shooters.

    I’m 51 years young. I’m also new to long range and PRS. I had never shot a precision long gun until February of this year. This podcast has been an inspiration to me and has guided my development as a shooter and as a competitor. All truth. All facts. All the time!
