I’ve taken to listening to a few podcasts in the background at the range by myself when I’m getting things set up or torn down and cleaned up. One of my favorite things to listen to recently is a lot of talk by guys like Ben Stoeger, Scott Jelinski, and other professional shooters to pick up little tips and methods that they use in their own successful shooting careers. This week we’ve brought you a wider variety of episodes to cover everything from shooting technique to some of today’s more hot-button issues surrounding the gun industry and its constantly changing landscape. As always, sit back, relax, and enjoy this week’s selection of gun podcast listening.

THE ARROGANT MARKSMAN | USPSA COULD LEARN SOME FROM IDPA
Shot a recent IDPA major and saw several things USPSA could take away from it
A good friend of mine Dave Blanton (also known as The Humble Marksman) recently started up a series of competition-focused podcasts where he and his guests talk about the various disciplines of competitive pistol shooting like USPSA and IDPA. Dave takes an analytical look at both the organization as a whole, as well as some of the techniques, trends, and lessons each discipline can learn from one another. This is a great episode to listen to if you’re interested in either USPSA or IDPA competitions.

55gr Igman ammo was used in this demo. Better quality ejection exhibited with 73gr GMM Fed Berger bullets. Ejection is always in FLUX. Gun gets dirty, lube dries up, parts wear out; ejection changes. Please keep this is mind. This is just a demonstration of ways to dial-in felt recoil on an over gassed gun.
