When the pressure is on—whether it’s the final stage of a match or a once-in-a-lifetime shot in the field—most shooters make the same mistake: they try harder, clamp down, and unknowingly sabotage their rifle’s accuracy. In this episode, Jamie Dodson of Wolf Precision dives into the realities of shooting under pressure, why fundamentals matter most when it counts, and how to avoid letting nerves dictate your shot.

Jamie also clears the air about Wolf Precision’s patented ACE system. While often misunderstood as simply a caliber-swapping convenience, the ACE was designed to solve one of the biggest accuracy thieves in rifles: crooked throats. Learn how it duplicates the precision of spider-indicated chambering, improves consistency, and helps deliver repeatable accuracy shot after shot.

Whether you’re looking to perform better under stress or understand what makes a custom rifle truly accurate, this episode will give you clarity and confidence behind the rifle.

In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson takes a hard look at BDC turrets and reticles — and why he jokingly calls them “Being Duped for Cash.” From the break-in period of a new rifle to the effects of density altitude, Jamie explains why these systems often fail at longer ranges and how they can give hunters a false sense of security. He shares real-world examples from the Wolf Precision shooting school, breaks down where BDC systems work and where they don’t, and offers practical advice on dialing dope the right way in minutes or mils. Plus, updates on Wolf Precision’s 2026 Long Range Shooting School, build-assist experiences, and upcoming Rifle Readiness Clinics. Whether you’re a seasoned marksman or just stepping into the world of precision shooting, this episode is packed with insights to help you shoot smarter, not gimmick-harder.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on a long-standing myth in the American hunting community: that 1 MOA equals 1 inch at 100 yards. Spoiler alert—it doesn’t. Jamie Dodson walks you through the real math behind minutes and mils, compares their pros and cons, and explains why the “language of hunters” might be more marketing than fact.

We’re diving deep into how rounding MOA values distorts your accuracy, why mils are faster, cleaner, and more honest, and why most of the world—and long-range shooters—prefer them. If you’ve ever been told that minutes are "simple" or "easier," this episode might change the way you shoot forever.

Plus, we preview next week’s episode where we expose the truth behind BDC turrets—it’s not bullet drop compensation, it’s being duped for cash.
