Just wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying all your podcast, especially the long range stuff. I found your channel looking into long range shooting and now own a Howa 1500 w a Razor Gen 2. I'm still working on tightening up my groups at 500 yards, but did get out to 870 yards. I actually did just shoot at a golf ball at 100yrds and hit it. Long range/ precision shooting is probably the most fun I've had since shooting. I have had a couple of pistol lessons, but pretty much everything I've learned is from reading or watching then put in practice. It doesn't help I'm right handed, but have to shoot long guns and bows left handed. Keep up the good work and thanks to everyone involved in the show.

I listened to all these recent PRS related podcasts on my commute to work this week. Thanks for all the great content.

[@VortexNation]

That's awesome! Thanks for tuning in.👊

[@greenstreet5287]

I love finding a channel with so much content that I haven’t seen before and then binge watching it.👍👍

I shoot 223 in the tactical division here on the west coast so my wind conversations are usually like
Squadmate: "hey what did you hold on that last target?"
Me "oh man...like 3 or 4."
SM: "tenths?"
Me "mils." ☹️

I'm looking at transitioning to PRS from IPSC / 3 Gun and this video is solid gold... "I got buck fever"... I sympathize

[@Hoodlum3621]

These podcasts are awesome, thanks for putting them on guys. Im surprised you don't get more comments on these videos.

[@bpintogsxr1000]

I can relate to everything you guys are saying. Shot my first PRS match a week ago. Man what a learning experience. Great vid! 🤙.

[@thebigmansoutdoors]

Great video and full of good information. Dave and Nick are top notch guys. I shot in that match I was a great time. Thanks to Vortex for sponsoring the match and being a match supporter of the PRS.

[@VortexNation]

Thanks for being a part of Vortex Nation!

[@terrymcknight4167]

I have enjoyed this whole series on the long range shooting. Plus you guys were in my old stomping/hunting/fishing grounds near Kennerdell. I grew up in WPA and hunted along the Allegheny River as well as the Allegheny National Forest. Thanks for the videos. By the way, where are these other videos that you allude to from time to time (such as this van you mentioned)?

[@aussiesteveakastevecallagh2280]

Great session guys you have me thinking about giving PRS a try thanks for your time sharing your experience with the match I really enjoyed it . Steve from Australia .

[@VortexNation]

If you are at all interested you should definitely give it a try! If nothing else, head to a local match to check it out.

[@leadmandave]

Loved it!! Can't wait to get to the range!!

[@VortexNation]

🤜🤛

[@brianstuart4203]

Shout out to Oklahoma wind! It’s a pain in the ass as a newer shooter 😂

[@jnatske]

Another great one guys!

[@VortexNation]

Thanks, Jesse!😎

[@dwalker223outdoors9]

Great episode

[@thrivealist9458]

I’d like to see y’all run three gun!

[@thrivealist9458]

Are we able to come watch you guys perform with out competing?

[@stevecarpenter98]

With never doing this I picked up a lot of information.

[@devincook3278]

I have yet to hear a solid explanation as to why shot follow through is so important. Not watching your impact. I just mean the whole "follow through so you dont throw off your shot" thing. Im not saying it's not important or a valid practice... i just have yet to hear someone give an explanation that really answers the why.

[@dougfields23]

4 more rounds to complement the BC series. need a 6.5 AD

[@justice1327]

Great job 👍

[@JacobTerherst]

PRSing was great

[@VortexNation]

🤜🤛

[@BrendanSoltys]

Where can I watch the match!!?

[@mikebutrie5147]

I had the same thought. Found it! Go to the main Vortex Optics RUclips channel 👍🏼

[@westriverwolfer110]

Its easier to see the targets thru a Leupold.
