Targeting the Future: The Role of A.I., Smart Optics, and Tech in Precision Shooting, Hunting, & Military
MAX ORDINATE • The Precision Rifle Podcast
11/15/24 • 3 min
In this episode, we explore the rapidly evolving world of precision shooting and the impact of cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, smart optics, and advanced ballistic calculators. As the tools and tech available to shooters become more sophisticated, we delve into a key question: in a future where computers can calculate the perfect shot in real time, how much will human skill still matter?
Join us as we discuss how AI and smart optics are transforming the way marksmen approach their craft—improving accuracy, reducing human error, and revolutionizing training methods. But with all this innovation, does the role of the shooter become less about skill and more about the technology they wield? Can a machine truly outperform the best human shooters, or will there always be a place for human intuition and adaptability in the art of precision shooting?
We’ll hear from Tyler and Jeph, to get their perspectives on the future of this high-stakes sport, Military / Law Enforcement Sniping, and explore the ethical and philosophical implications of a world where machines might take the shot every time.
Tune in for a fascinating discussion on the intersection of human expertise and technological advancement in the world of precision shooting.

A way and.. THE way you should engage movers.
MAX ORDINATE • The Precision Rifle Podcast
08/20/23 • 59 min
Covering a few topics this weekend! LOP adjustment on the fly? WTF? Good method or another gimmick to cover up bad marksmanship fundamentals? Engaging movers... from Lead Edge? Are you effing mad?! The argument against using lead edge. Why its not a method you should add to your tool box and avoid those who still teach this. Once again, just us being us, telling it how it is and holding nothing back. Sorry MDT, your chassis systems are definitely above average, but damn youre training tips are far below the standard.

Tomato... Tomato. Constructive Criticism
MAX ORDINATE • The Precision Rifle Podcast
08/11/23 • 74 min
THE SNIPER TARGET. Maui. Establishing habits for dialing. Videos being put out by MDT PRO's that seem more click bate. A solid episode where Jeph is in disagreement with Tyler and is trying ever so hard to change his mind.
After a week of discussions, research, theorizing, and ultimately deciding on what the goals are, what is the purpose of the drill? How tight of a standard are we wanting to hold? There was quite alot of feedback regarding our target. DM's, Emails, Jephs friend, people reaching out discussing the Cranial Vault, why that should be the standard. Based off of a good theory and one man with a doctor on his side saying "This is the way". So we took it all in. And now we present it to you. Lay it at your feet and allow you to decide. The target was modified to find a middle ground between both sides of the road. But ultimately there are certain things Tyler will not allow to be set aside as a lower priority skillset, which is the ability to accurate and precisely place a shot where the sniper wants.

The Importance of Rifle Setup
MAX ORDINATE • The Precision Rifle Podcast
07/09/23 • 69 min
There is so many videos, podcasts, instructional companies who skip over rifle setup like it doesn't matter. It does! and here is the why behind setting up your rifle to fit you. Think you need those spacers for the buttstock? Think again. Most don't. Its about function, capabilities, more than comfort.

Your TRIPOD skills need more TRIPOD skills
MAX ORDINATE • The Precision Rifle Podcast
07/06/23 • 53 min
Tyler & Jeph discuss techniques they've seen applied to utilizing a tripod as a shooting support that make them cringe. Why fight the tripod. Why not set up in the position you want. What are these paint marks on legs and why are they not a good idea. Living life on a tripod can be fruitful but too many times we see shooters not understanding what they're doing but rather going through the motions of a half assed technique someone showed them or they've seen on social media. Remember, fundamentals will always be the foundation. But, techniques, gear, etc will change and evolve. Don't get stuck living a decade or two ago. Seek improvement every day.
