    When he touched on getting his priorities in line, man that hit me deep. I know that feeling all too well. I used to travel a crap ton for work like 300 nights a year and I always put work and myself before my family and God. 3 years ago I finally saw a person in the mirror that I hated and told myself it's time to go home. I have now been work a regular 8-5 m-f and shoot competitively in PRS centerfire and rimfire with my Dad and son. I truly am a new man. Still working on my relationship with my faith and God. I damn sure broke down in tears hearing John tell us he got his priorities in line. Of the things shared on this episode I took the most from that right there. Thank your John for sharing your struggles and your win with God and family. Amen brother.

    I was fortunate to meet John around that time. Got to have lunch with him a number of times. I remember once I was pulling targets for him once at Bayou and surprised how his shots hovered around the 10 ring. Thought he was having a bad day. Then all of a sudden his shots started hovering around the x ring. I asked him about it and he said rather disappointedly that he forgot to set his tuner for Bayou (it was set for NM). Once he did things fell into place.

    Btw Erik my grandson just got a new Mosberg Patriot 7 prc for his birthday. This will be our families 5th Patriot that I’m going to set up using the incomparable EC Tuner brake. I take these inexpensive guns, bed the action lug, torque the screws evenly, scope, throw my 7 prc load into it. Tune it. Take it out to 1000. Make a ballistics turret. Dial out to 1000. This will shoot sub 3/4 moa out of a $350 gun ( got it on sale). It’s my version of a “Needs more ”. But that is damn good performance out of an inexpensive hunting rifle. I want you to know that I can do that because of watching your podcast and figuring out tuners. BTW I’ll order one of the new ones for hunting rifles and let you know how they work for me. Thanks for all you do Erik!

  • @DavidBeerer
    @DavidBeerer 11 місяців тому

    Just some constructive criticism of his tuning technique at 16 min. He adjusted the tuner setting and shot a 4 shot group and then moved onto the next setting for a total of 9 groups. That doesn’t seem very rigorous to determine an optimal setting in my opinion. For the 6 or 7 inch groups, were the groups 3 tight shots and one flier or were they all spaced apart? If it was just one flier that enlarged the group - how are we sure it wasn’t just from a sudden gust of wind that threw that one round off. Most of the variability in group sizes was at the beginning with more regular 3 inch groups in the last tests- could that just be shooter or the barrel settling in? Seems like to be sure of those results going back and repeating a couple of the either very large or small groups to demonstrate repeatability is necessary. Or shooting a large group size once and using a mean radius to get a better read about how average dispersion exist in the group. Perhaps he does that but just didn’t state it. What are others thoughts?

    • @BelieveTheTarget
      @BelieveTheTarget  11 місяців тому

      John won four national championships in a row, each in a different range. He also set three national records in four matches. I’m pretty sure those groups were all he needed to tune his rifle. 😁

    • @DavidBeerer
      @DavidBeerer 11 місяців тому

      There’s always room for improvement ;) just saying perhaps for a novice listening, I think it may be worth pointing out that without tons of experience finding a perfect setting in such a few shots is probably not the norm (when is life ever that easy 😂)

    So he is NOT resting his head on the cheek rest at all??? So his cheek doesn't touch the rifle? I'm confused, is he free recoiling or not? Hard holding and the opposite of "free recoil" to me was always a firm grip and pulling the butt back into your shoulder to preload it a small bit and have the weight of your head resting on the cheek weld to help anchor the butt of the rifle. Guess I've been doing it wrong. lol.
