Russell Miller is a triple-distinguished competition shooter as well as a former special operations officer. He’s spent an enormous amount of time coaching snipers and precision shooters, and today he’s our guest on the show. In this episode, we cover a lot of ground between the world of competition shooting and tactical precision marksmanship. Russ shared some very pointed criticism of US Army marksmanship training. Some of the main topics I think you’ll enjoy focus on getting started in rifle competition, and establishing a balance between behaviors appropriate for competition versus defensive situations. Additionally, we spend a lot of time ...

This podcast episode introduces you to four recurring gun culture characters I might mention from time to time: Tactical Timmy, Boogaloo Bob, Fuddy Fred, and Sheepdog Shane. Try not to take my irreverence too seriously on this one. We all have some of these characters inside of us, and I'm just giving them names so that we can bring the stereotypes to light and talk about it.

I recently got the chance to speak to Dr. Whitfield East, the research physiologist for the US Army Center for Initial Military Training (CIMT).

This episode of Everyday Marksman Radio is a bit more improvised than what you’ve heard so far.

One was a fantastic three-week canoe trip through Northern Canada, the other was a jaunt along a section of the Appalachian Trail.

Today I want to talk a little about something I call The Marksman’s Path. No, I’m not referring to myself. One of the stated goals of this website is to build a better kind of citizen. I wanted to take a moment to discuss what that looks like. So settle in, press play, and let’s get to it.

I recently interviewed John Simpson, a veritable encyclopedia of sniper knowledge. He has a long history with Special Forces and Police sniping, has written several books on the topic, and regularly teaches courses. In this interview, we cover John's history as well as a variety of topics surrounding sniping.

In this first official episode of Everyday Marksman Radio, we cover the basics. Who am I, what are we doing here, and what you should expect going forward. Welcome to the show!

It's been a while coming, but now it's here. Introducing the Everyday Marksman Radio podcast. This initial episode is short and required to get the podcast into directories. I look forward to sharing more soon!
