Hi folks,
I'd like to introduce you to a much-underrated, newish precision rifle podcast, Precision Unloaded Podcast, by the guys from Taranaki Long Range Shooting in New Zealand.
It's on Podbean, and if I knew how to drive that, I might be able to post a link. Maybe someone else can.
I personally have nothing to do with it. Don't know the guys behind it, Graeme and Mark. Maybe one day I'll be cool enough, or uncool enough, depending on your perspective.
However, just as the Flight of the Conchords are New Zealand's fourth most popular comedy folk duo, Grame and Mark claim that Precision Unloaded is New Zealand's 37th most popular sports podcast. They might even be right.
Last I checked, they had a massive 22 subscribers. My hope is that this post might race them ahead to about 28.
Before you have a listen, you might need to understand some things about New Zealand, and New Zealand blokes in particular.
First, it's the land of understatement. For example, you'll often hear them talk about another Kiwi bloke called Ian. They describe him as "pretty good". By this, they mean he wins nearly all the matches here.
In their most recent episode, they did an after action report, where they talked about their crew "doing all right" at a shoot - from memory, they placed second, third, and fourth.
Second, NZ is still a bit stuck in the 1970s - so all of the grown women referred to in the podcast are "the girls" - as in, "The girls placed first and second, beating all the blokes at the match". Yeah, it's weird, but hey.
Third, NZ humour can be pretty subtle. Fortunately, Mark has a habit of snorting into the microphone almost every time he makes a joke, so at least you'll know what Graeme is laughing at, even if it doesn't make sense.
Anyway, give it a listen -
They're less manic than Frank - but, given how laid-back they are, you might wish they'd had a couple more mugs of tea.
They're less drunk than Dave B.
They're more prepared than that Kurt (Kirk?) guy - well, at least sometimes.
And they're both less mindful and less snipery than Phil and Caylen. Now, while that's not hard on either count, Phil's catchy "Keep your face on the gun" line pales in comparison to Grame's from Episode 18: "It's not always a shit gun; you're probably a shit shooter".
Enjoy!
(Oh, and while you're searching around on Podbean, also check out The Triggernometry Show, now found on "The Bloke Network of Shows" by Kerry Adams from Precision Shooter NZ. It's been going since 2017. and has some great interviews with Frank, Jacob, Caylen, and host of others. With 138 subs, Kerry is clearly an over-achiever from an NZ perspective ... but it's some of the most solid precision rifle podcast content out there and deserves your support.)
