MDT’s Lone Peak Move and the Rise of the Precision Rifle Ecosystem

Why I’m Recommending Modern Day Sniper’s New Wind Training Course
I do not shill for courses. No affiliate links, no sponsors, no money changing hands.

The Rebel Panda and Nonesuch Precision
Chasing a Panda at Southwest Nationals 2025 There I was, camera in hand, soaking in the action at the Southwest Nationals (SWN) in Arizona when something unusual caught my eye—a panda.
