Wow this is amazing. As a Canadian I’ve known of Rob for many years, and watched all his content on UA-cam but never seen him open up like this before. What an incredible Canadian
Great interview. As a fellow Canadian, I'm proud of Mr. Furlong's service for our country and glad he's found a place where he can be with his fellow brothers and a way to share his knowledge with others.
I remember learning about this man's mission on the military channel as quite a young boy. It completely changed how I viewed shooting even then. Now as I learn more and more recently getting into reloading, it is absolutely astonishing. Thank you to all the Men and Women who fought for our freedoms and rights.
Having taken his precision rifle 1 course as a civilian (planning to take more). It is a fantastic and top notch program. You really can see the brotherhood between the instructors. I would highly recommend it! Rob and his instructor put on a well organized and put together course that makes its students better shooters!
Absolutely amazing interview, I have thanked you once before in person Rob and I want to thank you again for your service, Thank you Rob and your team. Great podcast Erik as always, I watch them all, thank you.
This man walks the walk and talks the talk! If you can’t see the level of integrity and respect of this man listening to this video then you’ll never understand him. He’s the best example of the kind of soldier that I would proudly serve with. I salute you! As a retired US Army Sergeant Major.
This interview really hits home. I have two sons that are in Special Forces and are Green Berets. Although they haven't seen this type of action yet they may. One is a medic and one is in sniper school now. Thank you so much for your service and this interview so we can see what really happens. God Bless you and your team.
Thanks Eric for doing this interview with Rob, he is a true Canadian Patriot, and we thank him for his service. Being an avid hunter, and long range shooter I have always looked up to our Canadian Snipers, and been very proud of their abilities, and records especially the 3450meter record set back in 2017. I have been an anal handloader for over 30 years now, and can come to appreciate all the hard work it takes to make a shot like that, plus the equipment that is required. Rob has a shooting school in Edmonton, Alberta and for shits and giggles one of the friends I load for and I are going to take his course. I’m sure we will learn a thing or too😉 Thanks again Eric for these GREAT podcasts, keep up the good work.
Iam thankful for people like Rob and so many others. I wasn't in a big job or a unit like Rob. I was with a National Guard unit from utah building roads and things like that. But iam thankfully for people keeping me safe while I was doing my military job.
That was the best chat you have done, what a top bloke, down to earth, straight to the point and casual as, after everything that fella has seen and been through, to be so casual is a credit to the man and to know the boys all still hang out together is awesome, again absolute rippa of a show Eric, cheers Yogi ✌️🤙
Damn man....the segment he talked about how we get 'steak' really hit me hard. It gave me a whole new perspective on battle and how it's portrayed by media and politicians. It was in the army but I was lucky enough to not have to be deployed for battle. There is a difference between a veteran and a combat veteran. Much respect.
I love your Interviews!! So educational, serious, funny, and introducing Names in the Shooting Sports I would Never known about. Thank you SWN Champion!
Great interview! Rob and his cadre of professional instructors provide top-notch precision rifle training courses at Rob’s excellent long range facility in Alberta. I have participated in a number of training events with the Rob Furlong Marksmanship Academy. Each and every time has been a great learning experience. I always enjoy the family-like camaraderie and can’t wait to get back out there for more!
Fantastic insight from Rob and the Canadian Armed Forces and sniper teams especially the info about the Tac 50. Its a great insight into his life experiences from his younger days through his military career. Thank you both
First off Thanks for your Service. It wasn't right for your unit to go through all that BS afterwards. The ones who cause this should be given a rifle and dropped into the frontlines of battle. This media thing really got its start in the Vietnam war. Watched it every night on the 6:00 news. Have many friends that have gone through the battlefield starting with my Farther in WWII. One will never know what it is like unless the go through it. Thanks very much for your time and giving us just a little taste of what it is like.
Rob, I want to thank you for that story, I never knew all that you had to endure, I also want to thank you for enduring it. That goes for both you and your brothers. Just know that I am behind you 100% .
My favorite quote of all time - not sure if it was George Orwell or Winston Churchill - "We sleep peaceably in our beds at night only because rough men stand by, ready to do great violence on our behalf."
The question that wasn't asked. How did you guys develop new dope for the American made ammo? Was it as accurate as the Hornady A tips. Thank you for your service, my nephew was with 10th Mountain then.
Hey Erik did you do some improvemts in your video and audio setup? Great video and sound quality thumbs up :) Thank you for these great interviews. Greetings from Germany.
As much as I appreciate sniper's ability, I'd imagine drones are over taking the sniper's job in the battle field now. No need to risk a soldier life climbing a mountain when you can fly a drone 25 miles and accomplish the same task.
Remember me Rob? I'm Richard Ethan Walker. After you made me turn around and you kneed or kicked me in the back and then beat my hands saying I had a weapon. I have one question. Why did you let the video be erased if you were the good guy you try to be. Also my challenge to you to a MMA fight is still on. If you aren't afraid to come at me face to face lets set it up.
Rob, thanks for your service. You are the epitome of what a soldier should be. The world would be a much better place with more people like you in it.
Wow this is amazing. As a Canadian I’ve known of Rob for many years, and watched all his content on UA-cam but never seen him open up like this before. What an incredible Canadian
Great interview. As a fellow Canadian, I'm proud of Mr. Furlong's service for our country and glad he's found a place where he can be with his fellow brothers and a way to share his knowledge with others.
That's a hero. Right there.
I imagine that is exactly what he is like "off camera" as well. This was a pleasure to watch.
I've never met him personally, but from people who have, Ya he's just an all round legend and pillar of the shooting community.
Man, this got tougher and tougher to watch as it progressed. Appreciate both of you for taking the time and sharing.
Rob is such a good guy
I remember learning about this man's mission on the military channel as quite a young boy. It completely changed how I viewed shooting even then. Now as I learn more and more recently getting into reloading, it is absolutely astonishing.
Thank you to all the Men and Women who fought for our freedoms and rights.
This guy is about as genuine as it gets. GREAT interview. To Mr. Furlong, thank you for your service and sacrifices. It is much appreciated.
Utmost respect for this man and those who do what they do in name of what needs done.
Thank you Rob for your service! Thank you Erik for this video!
Some important life lessons there. Much appreciated.
Thank you
Having taken his precision rifle 1 course as a civilian (planning to take more). It is a fantastic and top notch program.
You really can see the brotherhood between the instructors. I would highly recommend it! Rob and his instructor put on a well organized and put together course that makes its students better shooters!
Absolutely amazing interview, I have thanked you once before in person Rob and I want to thank you again for your service, Thank you Rob and your team. Great podcast Erik as always, I watch them all, thank you.
Not only is this guy a legend as a sniper, but the work he does in the shooting community is more legendary than his legendary shot!
One of the best pods.
You may have had odd equipment, but the fact is you were there. Thank you very much from the USA.
This man walks the walk and talks the talk! If you can’t see the level of integrity and respect of this man listening to this video then you’ll never understand him. He’s the best example of the kind of soldier that I would proudly serve with. I salute you! As a retired US Army Sergeant Major.
This is the best interview I have seen in years , a true hero . Thank you Rob for being a warrior….
Great interview. The Canadian Special Forces are Top Tier!

Did you see the video of that shot just popped up online? The CAF is trying to get it pulled, so take a look while you can!
A very intense interview Thks guys

Great interview. Thank you Rob for your service.
I personally know other members of the Lady Patricia Infantry. They are an amazing beast of humanity. Thank You to all that have served.

Having met Rob numerous times. I am honoured to be able to call him a friend.

Phenomenal interview, thanks guys👍
Rob is a badass! Thank you for an amazing podcast as always.
Awesome interview I was just wondering why you didn’t ask him about barrel cleaning 😅
Rob, I want to thank you for that story, I never knew all that you had to endure, I also want to thank you for enduring it. That goes for both you and your brothers. Just know that I am behind you 100% .
This man is a true Warrior.
Listening driving to the range. Great podcast
I like this guy. We need more guys like him.
Great podcast ,would like to see more operators on!!!
Full RESPECT, Sir! Keep the politicians and media away, always.
My favorite quote of all time - not sure if it was George Orwell or Winston Churchill - "We sleep peaceably in our beds at night only because rough men stand by, ready to do great violence on our behalf."
Good interview

Have you tried to get David Tubbs on? He seems to be fit
Hey Erik did you do some improvemts in your video and audio setup? Great video and sound quality thumbs up :)
Thank you for these great interviews.
Greetings from Germany.
Yes, we upgraded video and audio quality.
Rob Furlong AKA R.Kelly
Good chat.
Roberts ridge is a great book if you haven't read it yet erik.
Alone at Dawn by Dan Schilling
Might have to check both of them out, any other suggestions for books or programs or movies to look out for, cheers people ✌️🤙
Seen him on sniper in the cross hairs on history Channel. The beard definitely changes his appearance.
As much as I appreciate sniper's ability, I'd imagine drones are over taking the sniper's job in the battle field now. No need to risk a soldier life climbing a mountain when you can fly a drone 25 miles and accomplish the same task.
Remember me Rob? I'm Richard Ethan Walker. After you made me turn around and you kneed or kicked me in the back and then beat my hands saying I had a weapon.
I have one question. Why did you let the video be erased if you were the good guy you try to be.
Also my challenge to you to a MMA fight is still on. If you aren't afraid to come at me face to face lets set it up.
That master sniper instructor would be great on podcast.
7 WO food....what a load of shit...I do 5 no sweat!
