Podcast on iTunes and Spotify : Overmatch- The Kevin Owens Podcast
Just took Kevin’s long range class this past weekend. One of the best firearms courses I have taken. A lot information in 2 days, but learned so much from it.
Thank you sir
Love your honesty and your integrity. Have been following you for years. Love all the content. Would you ever do story time videos? I remember a few years ago you mentioned doing it. Like showing a photo and then telling us about it. And stories of deployments and training etc. would love to hear them! God bless you and your family
Would love this!! Kevin stories!
I did a few on Instagram, but i realize most people don't use that platform ( very wise ), i'll do some here, great suggestion
@@kevinowens9636 we need a story time video!!
Awesome man! I could listen to u for hours. Appreciate your honesty and common sense approach. Nothing beats good ole experience. 99% of what we are fed every day is marketing bs! Thanks Kevin!
yes it is, this is why my channel is not growing quickly, but i don't care
There is a great podcast for fair reporting of the news. Breaking Points. They actually look at the news with a fair, honest eye.
Kevin, I think our paths may have crossed during yours service in Irish defence forces....fair play to what you have achieved both in service with us in pdf and in your USA service. I' was a sniper and sniper instructor from Collin's bks
Cork. For your American subscribers that's very south of Ireland. I loved the course along with my colleagues. We did a bit of early work with the AGS (Irish police force) before they stood up their own snipers sec within
ERU. Just wanted to say great that things have worked for you after having to make the decision to leave ARW .I would have been on a number of courses in the 90s and interacted with your ARW collogues both on basic and sniper instructor course. From your previous podcast's I saw what you said about the class system with the Irish defenc forces. Your spot on ,it still exists today. In fact things have got worse ,now the woke culture brigade...Good guys like yourself feel it's not the army they once new. But on a positive note the pay has improved a bit , now I'm coming to the end of my career shortly .I've really enjoyed your podcasts ,I can come from the same experience you had in South Lebanon on Hill 880 & Atiri village in the enclave itsi a place I will never forget...no young people,only very old fragile people,who had no life under occupation ,and an incident can happen very quickly. I recall our former colleague Cpl Michael McCarthy who was killed by the DFF (Defacto Forces) Christian milita while on patrol In the village in 15 Nov 1991.They murdered him for nothing.there was Qs to be answered too by our officers in the descion to send in that patrol in the first place....it was a volatile place , where we learned things the hard way. Keep going with your podcasts Kevin ,I'm now a subscriber now.
Thank you 👊
Always enjoy listening to Kevin, seems like a calm, cool, and knowledgeable gentleman with the Irish kick to it 😂.
Great episode! I uninstalled IG & FB bout 6 months back great decision. I turned images off on X. I'm a male and a sucker for visuals and click bait.
Just got off the Navy cat2 rifle and pistol ranges. I was the class leader 😳. Shot 172 wearing kit in rain with rifle and 239 with pistol in good weather.
God Bless the Marine Corps and God Bless you & yours Sir!
Yeah, I shit-canned FB after they steered the FJB election.
I don't miss it. People who I really care about, I do face-to-face or on the phone.
I don't worry about not seeing a pic of what they had for dinner. 😂
Good show. Ground truth and sensible, authentic perspectives. Unfortunately, this approach is not rewarded by our information overlords. I appreciate you sharing your experience in a way that we can all understand and value.
Thank you
Kevin, my nephew did the Rebellion walking tour in Dublin last week. He loved it!
That’s awesome, I hope to do that some day
Thank you Mr Owen’s!
Love the video! Always quality content.
Quick note about what you said at ~ 9:34 - Thermal and NV clip-ons rarely shift your point of aim due to physical influence on the rail or mounting system (especially on quality firearms). What they actually do is introduce the need for collimation, that is - the front objective of the digital or analog clip-on optic is rarely in perfect alignment with the front objective of your primary optic. Envision looking through a glass prism, the light is bent slightly from its original path, and you perceive a shifted image. This shift must be corrected for - either by adjusting the primary optic, or adjusting the clip-on optic, to collimate the two optical systems such that your point of aim is again your point of impact. High end clip-on devices have physical collimating prisms built into the optic itself to allow you to correct for this shift.
There's a lot more nerdy science to it when you start involving multiple optical lenses, especially multiple distinct optical systems, but that's the basics of the interaction between a primary optic and a clip-on secondary optic.
When it comes to not being a slave to companies and selling out for money, keep doing what you are doing. You and Kirsten are doing it right, and are well respected. If an opportunity presents itself for you t be sponsored by something you truly stand behind and believe in, go for it. We will know its a good product.
Have fun with my Marine Brothers.... Id give anything to go hang out with young Jarheads again. I will be spending a week with a bunch of Air Force Logisticians next week. Its kinda cool but not the same thing. I will have nice quarters and meals though. LOL.
Some of the best unbiased shooting and gun information out there. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much
Great stuff on guns and distance, but thank you most of all for bringing down the proverbial political temperature in the room.
Unity isn't exciting, but it's vital.
I really enjoy watching your podcasts!
My favorite RUclips guy by far.
No contest
Thank you
@@kevinowens9636 you had me when in passing you remarked that you didn’t have the indig you were training constantly safe their AK. Back in the day, I didn’t either. You’d be surprised how much heat I’ve taken for that over the last 50 years.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Lol
Also, there’s a nice range just east of Vernal,UT called Buckskin Hills. They’ve got nice shooting bays and a 1,000 yard range as well. If you didn’t mind staying in a 5th wheel lodging would be free. Just saying
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and for your lack of bs.
Thanks for the view
I recognized that mug. Didn’t know you had this channel. The older I get the more I enjoy the types of video. Just information base.
Just keep speaking the truth . . . appreciate the sincerity and honesty. Anyone thinking of taking his long range class, do it! I went last December and it was great! Lots of information and practical application 👍🏼
I appreciate that
Thank you
Watching the news is a waste of your valuable time, watching Kevin is far better..Thanks for the straight talking 😎😎👍
The wisdom you possess and pass on is priceless.
Thank you Sir
Just fantastic Kevin!
I dont watch TV at all anymore. Dont listen to radio news. Dont follow political or social influencers. No FB, Instagram or X. Yes, I have more peace of mind and not constantly mad at people who think differently than myself
Thank you for answering my question
Great channel/ podcast!
That was definitely a funny story. Have a great day Mr. Owens
What you said about log books is going to be Exhibit A when I refer folks to you. You're an older guy, sorry, but so am I, and you've not stagnated. You know what was done, and what is the best practice now. Thanks for doing these videos.
Thank you and yes, I'm old as dirt
Very interesting about not thoroughly cleaning the barrel every time out, letting imperfections fill it in.
I'll stop doing this. Cheers!
Thank you sir, refreshingly real and genuine your a class act
I appreciate that!
Good chat. Thanks Kevin.
Bravo Zulu as usual. If you see this I was wondering about spotting scopes? maybe a Q&A question in the future. When do you need one. What is a good one( sighting in., observation, shooting team). Thanks
Spotter are handy while learning, but i really push students to see their own impact, it makes corrections so much faster
Loved the end story 😁
me too
I’ve had ONE barrel benefit from break in. I would’ve benefitted from not buying the gun in the first place. The military got it right paying for a barrel like a Douglas for precision applications. To me the real way to judge barrel quality is consistency of accuracy and ease of cleaning. Shitty barrels take forever to clean, a lot of rounds to settle in, and fewer rounds to foul out and require cleaning. They can shoot bugholes in between though.
I liked that rhetorical question on Instagram.
For the algorithm...
I am right handed, but left eye dominant. Firing a pistol with either hand and keeping both eyes open is something that I have been able to do with some success. However I haven't been able to fire effectively with my AR right handed or with both eyes open. Was wondering if you had any suggestions?
I am the same, can shoot a pistol by turning my head slightly to the right on draw: youtube vids on different methods: t-rex arms.
AR with a reddot, i just close my left eye as i bring the rifle up, haven't found any other way.
Hope this helps.
From,
A nobody on the internet
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you.
What watch is that?

I don’t know shit from wild honey, but I think if you stick with overmatch and csat you be ok 👌
