Frank from The Everyday Sniper returns after a major life transition, announcing his move from Colorado to Kansas City, Missouri, and sharing the challenges and triumphs of setting up a new home studio. He discusses the release of his second book, 'Precision Rifle Handbook: Advanced Solutions for Long Range Shooting,' which emphasizes process-driven marksmanship, the elimination of 'voodoo' in rifle prep, and the use of Gravity Ballistics—a gravity-based system for efficient long-range shooting that works offline and integrates with real-world data. Frank reflects on recent events including the Cameo match, where he struggled with pacing despite improved technique, and shares insights on equipment choices like the 6.5 PRC barrel length and weight, advocating for 24 inches with a heavier contour for heat management. He also promotes upcoming content, app updates, and a contest for an MDT Oryx chassis, while candidly admitting to technical hiccups, focus issues possibly caused by his glasses, and the chaos of moving and setting up a new podcast studio.
Prioritize process over events: zeroing, rifle setup, and equipment validation are iterative, not one-time tasks.
Use Gravity Ballistics for reliable, offline long-range data—especially effective for local shooters and travel-ready workflows.
For 6.5 PRC builds, favor a 24-inch barrel with a heavier contour and consider Bartland carbon fiber over proof barrels for heat control.
Speed isn't always better: a 143-grain bullet at 2850 fps may be more comfortable and effective than 2950 fps, even if it feels faster.
Camera focus issues may be caused by glasses—removing them can resolve unexpected autofocus problems.

Welcome Back: The Move & New Studio Setup
“I have a Missouri driver's license now, everyone. So everyday sniper people, why I wasn't on here for the last couple of weeks, we moved from Colorado to Missouri.”
The New Book: Precision Rifle Handbook & Gravity Ballistics
“It's a process, not an event. Because in our class, you know, we pulled your scopes off, we do a whole bunch of stuff before we even reset up the rifle.”
Cameo Match Reflection & Speed vs. Precision
“My brain went, if you miss, you're done. And I went, well, I can't really read the reticle, but it looks right. No, are you sure? So my brain hesitated.”
Equipment Insights: 6.5 PRC Build Advice
“In a PRC, I think I'd want a Bartland specifically over a proof. That would be my guess for that or my contention for that.”
Tech Troubles & Studio Challenges
“I had to try six cables to get it to work. I got short cables that work, but once I got too long, they didn't work. So I was like, God damn, man, I just want to be able to sit in the chair...”
“It's a process, not an event. Because in our class, you know, we pulled your scopes off, we do a whole bunch of stuff before we even reset up the rifle.”
“My brain went, if you miss, you're done. And I went, well, I can't really read the reticle, but it looks right. No, are you sure?”
“I'm only using my AB, my Garmin for beyond a thousand yards. Because of gravity ballistics and the way it's trained my brain, I'm only using a solver for beyond a thousand yards.”
