I get it, most lower level competitors don't give a shit, ignorance is bliss and if you like what you are doing, you'll never see a reason to change.
But in the next 2 weeks, someone will reach out, they always do, i have supported a lot of MDs out there, many never see it as we both know if the Admin of the PRS finds out I am helping they will tax them in a negative way. So I say very little when I help these guys.
I competed a lot until recently, i have a couple of issues that prevent me from doing it to a level that makes me feel comfortable. Nobody will let me, be me, I have to be something else, so when I do compete I use a fake name now. It helps. Just the way the cookie crumbles, but how many of you big time PRS competition guys have had others walk to you at a match and say, Damn I saw you were here and I just wanted to beat you, that is my reality, everything do, good or bad is judged on a scale few could match.
But also Chris competes, a lot, and wins steel a lot, I am on the range with him weekly. We teach together and he mentors a lot of NRL and PRS guys, so I see it all. Trying to flex saying I have a 25x47 is comical, sure seen it, seen 22GT, 22 Creedmoor, too... big deal. I see it all, the 153s going 2575, the fast, the small, the short, I see it all. My 224V load of the 85.5gr going 3025fps is awesome too, 6.8 to 1k, and it's a 7MPH gun in the wind, no recoil and 6k barrel life, but that 25 cal stuff is fun too,
See back in the day, when I promoted these comps and everyone Leaned on SH we talked about everything. Remember the PRS started on Sniper's Hide, it was because of Sniper's Hide and it was flushed out on this site. I didn't like what they were doing, so they ran away to hide from the criticism, but before this, I was the Marketing Arm of this stuff. Make no mistake, none of it survived without Sniper's Hide, I was the mouthpiece promoting this daily
We talked about the new calibers, how to manage it, what to do, when to do it, and how to do it
