Summary

We have a special guest AND a special GIVEAWAY in this episode. Our guest is former special operations sniper, Ryan Cleckner. Our first conversation with Ryan was so helpful and entertaining that we knew we’d have to have him back for a second show — and we did just that. Join us this week for Part 1 of our discussion, then be sure to subscribe to the podcast so that you don’t miss Part 2, which is coming soon. Most of the content in our Building A Backcountry Rifle series has been about equipment and/or technical knowledge. But our conversations with Ryan are all about shooting skills and the application of shooting knowledge. In these episodes you will learn about trigger control, sight picture, practice routines, shooting positions and supports, and much more. Ryan has graciously given us the opportunity to give away ten copies of his book: The Long Ranger Shooting Handbook. This book expands upon many of the topics that we discuss in this podcast series and is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their effectiveness with a rifle. To enter the giveaway, please visit ExoMountianGear.com/ShootingBook before May 31, 2017.
