The 6.5 Guys attended the 2015 VPRC to provide media coverage and share their after action review as well as a stage-by-stage analysis. This was the first Precision Rifle Series match in the 2015 calendar year and was well attended because the annual SHOT Show began the day after this event.

Have you ever wanted to 'pick the brain' of someone who competes in a Precision Rifle Series match? The 6.5 Guys took the opportunity to talk to dozens of shooters at the 2015 Vegas Precision Rifle Challenge who compete at the national level and ask them some key questions such as: - How did you get started in long range precision rifle shooting - What is one thing you do that has the most impact in your performance in competition? - What key pieces of gear do they use? - What do you recommend to those who are interested in getting into this type of shooting? We found their comments interesting and insightful for anyone looking to step up their long range precision game. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Music Credits: Undaunted - Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Like every other competitive shooter, we change up our gear from time to time. In late January 2015 we finally received our new match rifles that we'll be running for the 2015 season in our competitive matches. In this episode we take a look at the rifles we used in the last season, and conduct a walk through tour of how we have configured our new match rifles. Steve and Ed discuss some of the drivers behind the decisions that led to the selection of the components in each of our rifles, and some of the things we expect to reevaluate and possibly change up as the year progresses.
In this episode, we share highlights from two matches we recently competed in. Our monthly club match at Upper Nisqually Sportsmans Club (UNSC), and the first match of the 2015 NW Precision Steel Series Challenge at Rock Lake. We decided to try a different format by providing a photo montage set to music and look forward to hearing your feedback. Scott Satterlee, the winner of the February 2015 match at Rock Lake joins us as our special guest to give us some insight into shooting techniques that helped in the challenging conditions for that match.

Many rifle shooters collect a variety of rear support bags over the years because different bag designs are more useful than others given the specific shooting shooting scenario or position for how it may be used. In this episode, the 6.5 Guys take look at a spectrum of different rear bags they have either purchased or created to use in precision rifle shooting. They focus in on the philosophy of use for different rear bag designs. Steve and Ed also discuss what bags they prefer to use with different rifle platforms or types of rifle shooting; and they highlight their current favorite bags for use in tactical precision rifle competitions.
The 6.5 Guys recently changed over their 6.5x47 Lapua sizing dies to Redding Type S bushing style full length sizing dies. While setting up the new dies, Steve and Ed take the time in this episode to provide a brief walk through and a few tech-tips for properly setting up a resizing die for proper shoulder set back for the chamber of your rifle.
There are many products available for carrying your precision ammo to a final firing position, or hiking around a match from one stage to the next. Steve and Ed have tried and tested a number of the popular products that are typically seen at matches, and even tried creating a solution that fills this need. In this episode, the 6.5 Guys discuss a number of the many options available for match ammunition management in a field/match setting.
The 6.5 Guys provide a stage by stage coverage of the third annual Matt Karstetter Memorial Match, to give the viewer a sense of what it was like to have attended. The Karstetter match has grown very popular since it's debut in 2013 and is destined to become one of the must attend long range match events in the future. This match was organized as a memorial tribute to Matt and also as a fund raiser to help fund the college education of his children.
Developing and tuning hand loaded ammunition for a precision rifle is important to ensure that the rifle can live up to its full accuracy potential for a given bullet and powder. The 6.5 Guys take on this topic, which is often the subject of debate and differing points of view. In this first of a two part episode, Steve and Ed invite a special guest, Scott Satterlee, to provide insight and a unique perspective on tuning hand loads for tactical precision competition.
Good to see you guys posting up more good info . . . . . . No write up/video of the JC Steel Challenge from April ??
We participated in the 2015 JC Steel Challenge and had a great time. However, our focus was on keeping our head in the game and enjoying competing in the match, rather than filming another match episode for our YouTube channel. Having said that, we did come away with a small handful of video clips and large number of still photos. We've posted the photos of the match on our web site so be sure to check that out. We also made a couple of posts about the match to our Facebook page. We'll look into possibly using the video from the match at some point down the road, but at this point we have too many other episodes planned for this season to provide any meaningful coverage of the match. Suffice it to say, that if you haven't checked out the match be sure to try and attend next year. It's one of the big PRS style matches in the Northwest.

Developing and tuning hand loaded ammunition for a precision rifle is important to ensure that the rifle can live up to its full accuracy potential for a given bullet and powder. The 6.5 Guys take on this topic, which is often the subject of debate and differing points of view. This is the last half of a two part episode, in which Steve and Ed provide a hands on walk through and demonstration of applying the approach, methodology, and techniques Scott Satterlee discussed in part 1.
This episode is a brief update on what the 6.5 Guys have been up to over the past few months. Steve and Ed discuss the following topics: - Why some of the video content has slowed down recently - Upcoming episodes to look for in the next few months - Our partnership with three companies (JC Steel Targets, Defiance Machine, RBros Rifles) - Recent PRS matches we've attended - Our commitment to getting back in shape
In this episode the 6.5 Guys take a look at a number of different rifle bipods of assorted makes and models that can be frequently found in use at tactical precision rifle matches. They also provide an overview of various bipod options and accessories such as bipod feet, mounting options, leg extensions, and other gear such as bipod shooting sticks. Steve and Ed discuss the gear they are currently using and talk about some of the key features that may be important to consider if a shooter is buying a new bipod for a precision rifle.
