Summary

Our original intent was to have just a podcast about the sport of F-Class shooting, but when you get these brainiacs (Ian Klemm and Niles Richardson) talking about their obsession... er... "Hobby" you better believe it's going to turn into a full on long range shooting information assault to the brain. Fact of the matter is, in F-Class, the only thing that matters is long range accuracy - and when we say "Accuracy", we're talking about sub-MOA groups on paper at 1000 yards with .308's. Every single aspect of an F-Class competitor's game is completely dialed in for long range accuracy. We talk about the guns, their bipods, wind, mirage, barrel harmonics and the special scopes F-Class competitors need for their rifles. Ian even goes so far as to tell us how much his rifle has moved prior to the bullet leaving his 30 inch barrel. Just a simple equation involving acceleration, terminal velocity, moment of inertia of the rifle and coefficient of friction of the bipod and rifle on the ground. Kindergarten stuff. Prepare to learn more about ultra-precision long range shooting that you ever thought possible! As always - let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation podcast by asking us on any one of our social media platforms and using #VortexNationPodcast.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Vortex Nation podcast brought to you by lovers of hunting, shooting, public lands, the Second Amendment and good food. What's going on everybody, MC Ryan's got us dialed in. Our sound should be pretty darn precise here which is fitting on
0:25.2	account of the fact that we are talking to two men across the table from us
0:29.4	right now that are involved in arguably one of the most precision shooting sports out there.
0:37.0	We're going to be talking about some F-class shooting.
0:41.0	Now we have Ian Clem, he's been on the podcast before, which is pretty sweet.
0:45.0	And we don't always get to get him out of his deep dark engineering hole in the building,
0:51.0	but when he does, he comes out and he drops some serious knowledge bombs.
0:55.9	So you guys know him.
0:57.3	Across from me here, and those are you watching on YouTube, you're probably already dying to hear about these amazing looking firearms on our table,
1:06.0	but across from me here across from the red rifle is Niles and Niles is a friend of ours.
1:13.6	He's been around Vortex for a while,
1:15.3	and he, though he does not work at Vortex,
1:18.0	he's local to us.
1:19.6	And he is also an F-class competitor.
1:22.4	So I'll try not, as usual, I'll try not to do all the introductions for him here,
1:27.5	but Niles will let you maybe give the listeners out there
1:30.6	a quick idea of who you are and what you do,
1:32.4	any fun facts about yourself
1:33.7	okay my name is Niles Richardson I'm out of Spring Green Wisconsin not too far
1:38.4	from here and I met Ian a couple years ago through mutual friends here at Vortex and I was shooting some 1,200
1:45.9	yard stuff over at Lodi and I wanted to do something a little bit more than just shooting
1:51.9	and ringing steel at it a long way. So I was introduced to
