When he touched on getting his priorities in line, man that hit me deep. I know that feeling all too well. I used to travel a crap ton for work like 300 nights a year and I always put work and myself before my family and God. 3 years ago I finally saw a person in the mirror that I hated and told myself it's time to go home. I have now been work a regular 8-5 m-f and shoot competitively in PRS centerfire and rimfire with my Dad and son. I truly am a new man. Still working on my relationship with my faith and God. I damn sure broke down in tears hearing John tell us he got his priorities in line. Of the things shared on this episode I took the most from that right there. Thank your John for sharing your struggles and your win with God and family. Amen brother.
Thank you Eric for another great interview. Thank you John for sharing your experiences and knowledge, not only with our sport but with your personal live as well.
I was fortunate to meet John around that time. Got to have lunch with him a number of times. I remember once I was pulling targets for him once at Bayou and surprised how his shots hovered around the 10 ring. Thought he was having a bad day. Then all of a sudden his shots started hovering around the x ring. I asked him about it and he said rather disappointedly that he forgot to set his tuner for Bayou (it was set for NM). Once he did things fell into place.
Amazing, finally I get to hear from the man himself, than you John Myers and as always thank you Erik, cause you make this stuff possible!! Really like how his new priorities!!!
Excellent, again experts telling you what you want to hear.......... but not all they know, that's why they are champions with in there sport ...................... thanks for sharing !!
Btw Erik my grandson just got a new Mosberg Patriot 7 prc for his birthday. This will be our families 5th Patriot that I’m going to set up using the incomparable EC Tuner brake. I take these inexpensive guns, bed the action lug, torque the screws evenly, scope, throw my 7 prc load into it. Tune it. Take it out to 1000. Make a ballistics turret. Dial out to 1000. This will shoot sub 3/4 moa out of a $350 gun ( got it on sale). It’s my version of a “Needs more ”. But that is damn good performance out of an inexpensive hunting rifle. I want you to know that I can do that because of watching your podcast and figuring out tuners. BTW I’ll order one of the new ones for hunting rifles and let you know how they work for me. Thanks for all you do Erik!
I was a bit irritated early in the interview bleeping the good stuff, but the last few minutes more than made up for it. When your priorities are right the rest seems to fall into place on it's own. 👍
Great stuff and he said it best always put God first in all you do and He will take care of you please keep the content coming Thank you for sharing all the information
John, if you are reading this I really enjoyed all your comments. Your accomplishments are remarkable. I have a similar background in racing, shooting and faith though not as accomplished as you. I would love to know what you listened to or what helped you to refocus and recenter your life and priorities.
That last 7 minutes is on point. And NO ONE should skip ahead. So he is NOT resting his head on the cheek rest at all??? So his cheek doesn't touch the rifle? I'm confused, is he free recoiling or not? Hard holding and the opposite of "free recoil" to me was always a firm grip and pulling the butt back into your shoulder to preload it a small bit and have the weight of your head resting on the cheek weld to help anchor the butt of the rifle. Guess I've been doing it wrong. lol.

Just some constructive criticism of his tuning technique at 16 min. He adjusted the tuner setting and shot a 4 shot group and then moved onto the next setting for a total of 9 groups. That doesn’t seem very rigorous to determine an optimal setting in my opinion. For the 6 or 7 inch groups, were the groups 3 tight shots and one flier or were they all spaced apart? If it was just one flier that enlarged the group - how are we sure it wasn’t just from a sudden gust of wind that threw that one round off. Most of the variability in group sizes was at the beginning with more regular 3 inch groups in the last tests- could that just be shooter or the barrel settling in? Seems like to be sure of those results going back and repeating a couple of the either very large or small groups to demonstrate repeatability is necessary. Or shooting a large group size once and using a mean radius to get a better read about how average dispersion exist in the group. Perhaps he does that but just didn’t state it. What are others thoughts?
John won four national championships in a row, each in a different range. He also set three national records in four matches. I’m pretty sure those groups were all he needed to tune his rifle. 😁
There’s always room for improvement ;) just saying perhaps for a novice listening, I think it may be worth pointing out that without tons of experience finding a perfect setting in such a few shots is probably not the norm (when is life ever that easy 😂)

Couldn’t agree more 👍🙏
I appreciate how he focused on his mental game by getting his priorities right.
Indeed
I believe John Myers is a WINNER in many more ways than shooting! Great priorities! Congratulations Sir!
Thank you Eric for another great interview. Thank you John for sharing your experiences and knowledge, not only with our sport but with your personal live as well.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have to say that John has the most Incredible knowledge of any of the people that you have interviewed. Love the tuner advice
Glad you enjoyed it!

hi guys, tim from Florida, three days clean, amazing.
Amazing!
Keep it up. You’re ready! Make it happen❤
Listening now... hope he goes into detail on what the AR mods were. We like details. :)
I am loving this interview and I’m only four minutes and 35 seconds in Eric you’re documenting gold and I appreciate that.
Thank you.
I learned a long time ago, that if you get your priorities right, everything else will fall in line like it should. Enjoyed this interview!
Absolutely!
Can’t wait for another interview with John!
Great talk !
Time to crack Erik’s hard drive and get the unedited version of this one.
Great content as always
Not a bad idea 😂
Amazing, finally I get to hear from the man himself, than you John Myers and as always thank you Erik, cause you make this stuff possible!! Really like how his new priorities!!!
I started listening over ten hours ago and had to go to work. Just finished listening and all I can say great interview and “here kitty kitty” 🐈⬛
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent, again experts telling you what you want to hear.......... but not all they know, that's why they are champions
with in there sport ...................... thanks for sharing !!
Great video! I love Drag Racing and remember John Force saying the same thing. When he got his priorities straight, he started winning over and over.
Awesome interview!
Thanks for this podcast. Thanks John . Thanks Erik.
Thanks for listening
I have been hearing this is the ONE we have been waiting for
Best interview ever
Great podcast. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great content Eric & John!
Much appreciated!
A deep dive in the precision AR would be appreciated! Components, construction, what really matters!
Thanks for another detailed / insightful video…..
You got it!
I also would like to hear more about what it takes to have a 1/4 moa AR
@@cfranklin7450I just finished one that put 3 into one hole....7 under half.....I think it could do better with a better shooter.
Wow, what an incredible insight! Thank you for sharing👍👍, I hope to take this all to heart!!
You are so welcome
Good info to hear.
Great show ,would love to see him back on the show, im a little to late to this party , by ab 2 years
Great interview I learned a lot
Fantastic! I had a similar experience with changing what I listen to (sermons on tape) changing my life. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful!

Just hired a lip reader 😅
😂
yeah I was trying to read lips but that drawl is really screwing with me
@SavageShooter93 have to find a southern one hahahaha
Thank you for the knowledge
You bet!
Nice to see shooters discuss tuners without getting banned from a forum
Well Said Sir
Both my Krieger 20” gas guns are seriously amazing. Sub MOA groups are the norm out of both of them.
I was a bit irritated early in the interview bleeping the good stuff, but the last few minutes more than made up for it. When your priorities are right the rest seems to fall into place on it's own. 👍

Another vote to hear about his AR detailed version
how in the world does someone get that good at something.. i guess thats how hu... lol thx again Erik for the amazing interview!!
I see this is in retort to the last Hornady broadcast
That whole biased Hornady podcast crew has really lost credibility with me. They're good at talking out of both sides of their mouths.
🤷♂️
If you believe that Hornady podcast then all you really need is a rabbits foot in your pocket!
@@BelieveTheTargeti just ordered an your AR tuner brake, would be nice if you told your customers how to drive it. #wrongammo
I don't disbelieve the Hornaday guys ...but I'd still like to try a tuner cause I'd rather learn for myself.
This was a great interview...up until exactly 1:07:00....after that, it was terrific!!!
Amen!
Curious... what rear bag would either of you recommend? Much thanks
Great stuff and he said it best always put God first in all you do and He will take care of you please keep the content coming Thank you for sharing all the information
Thank you, I will

John MacArthur (Grace to You) and R.C Sproul (Renewing your Mind)
Why censor anything?
Because tuners don’t work
I have a Cooper rifle in .223 that shoots in the .1's, nothing else I have comes close. Haven't shot that in 12 years either.. hmmmm
That last 7 minutes is on point. And NO ONE should skip ahead.

Good for you.. God first
How about bench rest
John Myers was interesting as Jack Neary
Any one know what action make he was using when he was shooting and winning
When was this filmed?
Where are you shooting 1000yds in houston?
Was this episode recorded a while ago? Some of the references seem pretty dated.
Two years ago.
@@BelieveTheTarget That makes sense. Thanks!

You all and the lab guys need to sign a stack of NDAs, get on a range, and but this issue to bed.
Hey is john myers useing Stiller actions??
No, he retired from shooting and Stiller is no longer in business AFAIK.
@@BelieveTheTarget what I ment was what was john myers useing when he won all them nationals
You can get a bolt action AR now.
Will we hear some secrets!
😁
I’m confused about the beeps. He got out of shooting but still wants to hold the secrets? Seems strange.
Erik isn't out of shooting though
You have been sitting on this for well over a year and a half? 😮 😂 😊
Yeah. 😁
Sounds like John bullies everyone into giving up their best equipment to him lol
😂
Oooooooops. Those comments on the front rest setups may prove to be more troublesome than you thought.
Here we go!!!!
@ wrong ammo😂😂
well, you don't have an action now, so you don't need that stock😆😆🤣
#wrongammo 🤣😂
#wrongammo 😂
Let Hornady discount the effectiveness of tuners. That will just keep the edge for those who run them!😂
Yes Hornady doesn’t get it. Of course they tell us that they don’t use match bullets for hunting?? Go figure!!
A year or two to build a gun?! I think not...C'Mon man...
He's talking about an F-Class rifle. They take a long time.
Brux barrels are 12 mo. Out.
Barrels are the hardest component to get in a timely manner.
So I'm a certified lip reader, for a $100 bucks I'll tell you the bleeped out parts...
