Everyone wants to know the best caliber.
6 Dasher? BR? 6GT? 6x47?
But after talking with Nick and Isaac Schnur from Peterson Cartridge, one thing became clear:
The best shooters aren't constantly chasing new equipment—they're mastering the fundamentals.
In this episode, father-and-son PRS competitors Nick and Isaac share what they've learned building competition rifles, transitioning from a 6x47 to a 6 Dasher, helping young shooters get started, and why dry fire, position building, and consistent practice matter far more than chasing the latest gear.
We also dive into:
• How to build the ideal PRS rifle for a youth shooter
• Why they switched to the 6 Dasher
• Common mistakes shooters make when building their first rifle
• The importance of rifle fit and recoil management
• Dry fire routines that actually improve match performance
• Reloading, practice habits, and mental preparation
• Why the PRS community is such a great place for families
If you're trying to decide what caliber to shoot—or wondering if changing equipment is really the answer—this conversation might save you thousands of dollars and months of frustration.
