Welcome to Episode 239 of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast! I’m your host, Jamie Dodson, and in this episode, we’re proud to officially introduce Wolf Precision’s Prosumer Gunsmithing School—a first-of-its-kind educational initiative designed to teach shooters how to build, assemble, and maintain true custom rifles from the ground up using our revolutionary ACE system.

We break down the difference between our Assembled Rifle Kit and the Prosumer Gunsmithing Kit, explore why the pre-fit barrel model is flawed, and reveal how we’re bridging the gap between overpriced “custom” factory rifles and unsupported DIY builds. Whether you want to build your own rifle, understand your gear better, or one day join the ranks as a certified Prosumer Gunsmith or Master Builder, it all starts here.

We also share exciting updates on our online school launch, how to access training through the Wolfpack via Patreon, and why this shift represents the next big leap forward for precision rifle shooters across the country.

So if you’ve ever dreamed of building a rifle better than you could buy—and doing it with confidence—this episode is for you

In this episode, Jamie Dodson dives deep into the top five mistakes shooters commonly make after buying a custom rifle—and more importantly, how to avoid them.

Plus, hear about the upcoming Rifle Readiness Clinics, one last opening in the fall Long Range Shooting School, and a few great stories from recent students (including sailors-turned-shooters!).
