SH @ The Precision Rifle Expo

[Lowlight]

This coming weekend is the Precision Rifle Expo down in Texas, Sniper's Hide will be attending and hosting a clinic.

Precision Rifle Expo

Precision Rifle Expo. Gain Access to the top manufacturers, experts and try out the products.

I really like the Expo, sure the weather has sucked the last few years, but hopefully this time they nailed it. But it's a perfect place for the precision rifle shooter. Great companies displaying, live fire, hands on with products. Open to everyone, it's everything Shot Show isn't.

Right now we are working a new class style for 2024, so I will be trying out some new devices for the Clinic. After 10 years on my own with Marc and the years prior with Rifles Only I think I have this marksmanship thing sorted out better so I want to try it.

Gravity Ballistics Intro too

Hope to see you all there

It’s supposed to be mid 60s to low 90s and partly cloudy both days. Way better than the 40 and raining last year!

And dang it if you aren't so much closer. My wife was raised in Brenham and we would visit her parents. We would pass through Navasota. 45 south from the Dallas area and then take 190 in Madisonville around to 90 and then it comes 105 in Navasota and on we would go. Their house was near 105 and N Blue Bell Road. In fact, you could see the Blue Bell Creamery where they make the stick ice cream. Her cousin still works there.

I won't be able to make it there but it sounds great.

The Expo is the greatest bargain available in precision shooting. This will be my third time attending. The info you pick up and the personal contacts you make are priceless. This years weather forecast looks great.

 

[4065HW]

This was the pre scout postal match target.
Shoot this target and you will find out real guick if you can shoot or not. If your fundamentals are not right your $200 rifle is as good as your $10000 rifle

 

[lash]

I still have that target in my files and print some out now and then for a good tough challenge.

 

[Kjb1796]

Yep Tucker was the score keeper that was back in 2012 I think. Never got my moral patch either, but it was fun and a challenge.

Good event. Thanks to all the contributors. Well worth the $40 and the two hour drive there. Still can’t wrap my head around how quiet the TBAC 50bmg suppressor is.

 

[Matagorda308]

@Lowlight @68hoyt
Great event, thanks Frank for making the drive down. it was a hoot as always. Good times and educational.
Just fyi, Uncle Frank translates in TexMex to “Tio Pancho”. You will prob hear that one again!

 

[Trung Si Ma]

Another great presentation on the fundamentals and then when Kestrel and Praslick didn't show Frank did those classes also. Not sure the Kestrel folks would have approved his presentation but everyone there sure did.

He even talked about us .22 guys!

Already looking for next year's dates.

@Lowlight - any pics from this year's event, Frank?

 

[Lowlight]

Hey all,

Yes, I had a heck of a good time at the Expo, interacting with everyone. I did take over the other classes the first day, people were waiting, and I offered to step up. I do believe Kestrel took over on Sunday after my Saturday event as I went through "my" method to input data, but was able to answer all questions feeling the instruction was clear. I also said, I did not follow the kestrel model 100%.

Here are some images

the TBAC suppressor was awesome, 18" Barrel, super shootable

I did say I turned off WS1, but I was very clear as to why...

Some gravity ballistics, I have new sheets and fundamental eval stuff that arrived Monday. Unfortunately, they did arrive in time for the event but these are great new sheets

I am revamping my class for 2024 so I have a bunch of new stuff ready to drop

Great meeting everyone, Ray, Brian Sain, here ...

Dang it, I completely missed this! I did a two gun, run and gun out in Navasota TX. I wish I would have seen this, I would have came out for it!

Are you doing the same location next year?

 

[Matagorda308]

My understanding from a conversation with the organizers, yes. Same location next year. Date? Who knows. A lot to coordinate. Just have to watch the Precision Rifle Expo website and Facebook page for the announcement.
All subject to change after they analyze the attendance records and gauge vendor satisfaction. I am assuming they are gonna clean up and take a long break before jumping into planning 2024. It was a big job, done well.

Shoot this target and you will find out real guick if you can shoot or not. If your fundamentals are not right your $200 rifle is as good as your $10000 rifle

How did this work? I'd like to try it.

Is it a pdf that you could share?

Hey Frank, Im the old/big guy with the white hair/camo shirt that was asking you about Sunday's presintation times at the expo. it was great meeting you and listening to your seminar.
Your presentation was extremly easy to understand and very well spoken. I learned so much even after missing half of it on Saturday so I was hoping to watch it Sunday completly, but a train crossing in some little town on the way held me up for over 30 minutes! By the time I arrived you were finished.

I was hoping someone got that recorded for you. If so, I'd like to know how I can get a copy and more info on your courses?

Thanks
TG

 

[Lowlight]

Honestly, you probably got the majority of the discussion.

I was not following a script, so I was going on autopilot. Moving forward, my class schedule will be in the Training section here, as well as the online stuff we are restarting as they build new sections for me.

I was talking Gravity Ballistics, so any weaponized math video is going to be close details-wise; just the framing of the conversation has changed a bit.

You can find the fundamentals here. I repeat that stuff often.

Is it a pdf that you could share?

It was originally posted by Frank in one of his threads about it, though god only knows which one or where it is. I’ll see if I can dig it up on my computer and post it here.

 

[Lowlight]

I have a typo here but otherwise its good

 

[lash]

Is it a pdf that you could share?

Okay found it/them. There were originally two different versions, a standard S&H 100 Yard Challenge and a dark version of the same. Apparently per someone’s request. Let’s see if I can attach them as .pdfs.

Let me know if these work.

 

[stefan73]

Crazy thing is I am already following the facebook page but didn't see the post on my feed. I'll have to be more diligent!

I attended the last two expos. The weather was better this time than last time. I sat in Franks class and of course got to shoot a lot of the rifles. Also got a chance to see the new GARMIN chrono and got a view on how it worked.

As always a good chance to see Frank G.
