In Episode 269 of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson of Wolf Precision announces the winners of two slots to attend the Wolf Precision Long Range Shooting School and then dives into a topic that every shooter thinks they understand — cleaning your rifle barrel.

What if the way most shooters clean their rifles is actually doing more harm than good?

Jamie shares decades of experience from running the Wolf Precision shooting school, where rifles are fired and cleaned far more frequently than most shooters will ever experience. Through years of observation with borescopes and real-world testing, he explains how common cleaning practices — including the use of bronze and nylon brushes — can actually cause damage to the lands and grooves of a barrel. Jamie also discusses the real-world experience gained from cleaning thousands of barrels through decades of shooting school classes and how that experience led to a completely different way of thinking about barrel maintenance. If you've ever wondered whether you're cleaning your rifle the right way, this episode may change your entire approach.

n this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson of Wolf Precision makes the case for the .22 ARC and why it may become one of the most versatile rifle cartridges available today.

Jamie has long been a fan of the .22 Creedmoor, but after seeing early results from customers and testing new rifles built with the Gen 4 ACE system, the .22 ARC is proving to be an extremely compelling option for many shooters

Jamie also previews upcoming videos where the team will swap chambers using the ACE system, rebuild the rifles on camera, and test the .22 ARC side-by-side against other popular cartridges out to 1,000 yards.

If you're looking for a cartridge that delivers exceptional accuracy, low recoil, affordable ammunition, and excellent performance, the .22 ARC might be exactly what you've been waiting for.

In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie shares lessons learned from the recent Moving Target Clinic in Swainsboro, Georgia. After spending several days watching shooters tackle challenging moving targets, one thing became very clear: success in shooting often comes down to mindset.

Jamie breaks down the story of two very different shooters and how their approach to pressure, patience, and emotional control dramatically affected their performance on the firing line. From tiny moving targets at 400 yards to a challenging 1,000-yard balloon shot, the class provided powerful examples of how the mental side of shooting can make or break a shot.

This episode explores:

1. Why patience and timing matter when engaging moving targets
2. How emotional highs and lows can sabotage your shooting
3. The importance of detaching your ego from the shot
4. Real stories from the firing line that illustrate the difference between reacting and executing

Whether you're shooting movers, competing in matches, or simply trying to improve your marksmanship, this episode highlights one of the most important skills a shooter can develop: control of the mind behind the rifle.

As always, Jamie also shares updates from Wolf Precision and reflects on the camaraderie and lessons learned from another outstanding class. Tune in and discover why sometimes the biggest difference between hitting and missing isn't the rifle—it's the mindset behind the trigger.
