Inside the First Seven Devils Invitational at Hat Creek - After Action from 2nd Place Team | Ep 019
Two tenths high at 722 meters on a zero you verified the day before. Forty mile an hour winds, angles steep enough to run a tripod head out of travel, and one target that ate a mag and a half before it went down. That was day one at the inaugural Seven Devils Invitational at Hat Creek. Phillip Velayo sits down with John Phillips, a longtime team sniper competitor and his partner on Team Kahles, the morning after the match. Over five days and seven stages they cleaned all 3 days, outshot the winning team by two points, and still finished 2nd overall on movement time. This is the full after action: what worked, what didn't, and what they'd change. FIND OUT DETAILS ABOUT THE COMPETITION: https://sevendevilsinvitational.com/ In this episode, we cover: - How John went from a one-hit first PRS match to running team sniper matches full time - Why structured training beats figuring it out the hard way - What makes team sniper matches harder than PRS and NRL Hunter - How the Seven Devils Invitational was scored: targets, movement points, night and pistol stages - Why they chose shooter-spotter, and when they switched to shooter-shooter - What Hat Creek's wind and angles do to your data, and why aggressive wind corrections pay off - Calling a final wind hold instead of a correction - How to get better at finding targets and talking your partner on - Binocular setups for team matches - Top 3 pieces of gear for Hat Creek: Kestrel, weapon-mounted laser rangefinders, and tripods - A laser rangefinder breakdown: 905 vs. 1550 nm units - First impressions of the new Kahles K328i and K540i Whether you're a PRS shooter, an NRL Hunter competitor, or thinking about your first team sniper match, this is an inside look at what it takes to compete at one of the hardest venues in the country. 🎧 LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/0WhBQn3hUE1XarAFwAd2OU?si=8cc5f61c6e814f79 🎧 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-cadre-podcast/id1806120823 🎯 TRAIN WITH US: https://www.thecadretraining.com 🎒 KIT: https://www.thecadretraining.com/resources 📋 FREE DOPE CARD: https://www.thecadretraining.com/resources ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Cold open: "Hit one target all match" 00:41 – Round two of the Seven Devils debrief 02:50 – John's background: from high power to team sniper 04:51 – His first PRS match and data from an ammo box 06:42 – Finding a mentor and working macro to micro 09:36 – Taking a class vs. doing it the hard way 12:28 – Team matches vs. PRS and NRL Hunter 14:54 – What the Seven Devils Invitational is 16:26 – Getting the call from Kahles, and thoughts on sponsorship 20:11 – "What can you provide for them?" 23:31 – How Phil and John got paired up 25:39 – Arriving early and a full day of train-up 28:48 – What John looks for in a teammate 30:18 – Going from solo shooter to team shooter 32:10 – Teams that solve problems without talking 33:53 – Check-in day at Hat Creek 37:35 – How the match was scored 41:02 – Movement points and a thank-you to the ROs 43:20 – Rifles, ammo and the game plan 48:20 – Why shooter-spotter was the right call 50:43 – Arm boards, target packages and talk-ons 56:21 – Day 1: cleaning stages 5 and 6 58:52 – Expectations: the angles and the wind 59:40 – Two tenths high at 722 meters 1:02:00 – Advice for shooting Hat Creek 1:04:07 – Know your tripod 1:07:12 – Studying the map before the stage 1:08:04 – Stages 1 and 2: "Dust and adjust" 1:11:23 – Wind gradients and aggressive wind corrections 1:12:14 – Switching to shooter-shooter when Team 13 closed in 1:13:36 – Where they stood after day 2 1:14:49 – Calling a final wind hold, not a correction 1:17:19 – Day 3: stages 3 and 4 1:20:15 – How to get better at finding targets 1:23:37 – John's binocular setup 1:28:00 – Splitting up targets to save time 1:29:52 – Final day: stage 7 and the unknown-distance stage 1:34:10 – Larry and Nolan take the win 1:34:35 – Sustains and improvements 1:37:20 – Wind calls and building a position to see your shot 1:39:30 – Top 3 pieces of gear 1:43:14 – Laser rangefinders: 905 vs. 1550 nm 1:49:57 – Starting out with an Arken 1:52:06 – First impressions of the new Kahles K328i and K540i 1:54:30 – "There's no free lunch" 1:56:52 – Why Phil would run the K328i next time 1:58:29 – What made Seven Devils different 2:00:33 – Fitness prep and wrap-up CONNECT WITH THE TEAM Phillip Velayo – https://www.instagram.com/velayo_0317 The Cadre – https://www.instagram.com/thecadre.training Precision Through Chaos.

From Street Skater to Recon Scout Sniper: Steve Holland's 20-Year Marine Story | Ep #018
On this episode of The Cadre Podcast, Phillip sits down with The Cadre Lead Instructor and retired Recon Marine Steve Holland. It's been on our list since episode 13. Steve grew up in Riverside, CA, found structure in Boy Scouts, and wrote an eighth-grade paper about becoming a Navy SEAL that won his whole school district. A recruiter pointed him to Force Recon instead. He operated as a sniper for nearly his entire career before he ever went to sniper school, then went through as a senior Staff Sergeant and walked away as high spotter. Whether you're a hunter getting ready for season, a precision shooter working on fundamentals, or thinking about a path into Recon, Steve's story is proof that process beats talent every time. 🎧 LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/0WhBQn3hUE1XarAFwAd2OU?si=8cc5f61c6e814f79 🎧 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-cadre-podcast/id1806120823 🎯 TRAIN WITH US: https://www.thecadretraining.com 🎒 KIT: https://www.thecadretraining.com/resources 📋 FREE DOPE CARD: https://www.thecadretraining.com/resources ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 Cold open: "I cannot come home" 1:08 Steve Holland, a year in the making 2:14 Growing up in Riverside and finding structure in Boy Scouts 4:15 The Navy SEAL paper that won the district 5:48 Skateboarding and learning not to quit 9:33 BB guns, trigger control and the Kentucky turtle pond 14:16 9/11 as a high school freshman 17:00 Why Force Recon instead of the SEALs 19:36 The four-minute mile and a recruiter who didn't lie 22:40 Meeting Joelle 26:50 Boot camp alongside Solo 30:14 SOI, camp guard and the recon screener 35:28 The snowboarding injury the week before BRC 42:07 Getting through BRC 44:39 The MEU platoon and learning from Dan 51:15 Capability over qualifications 51:55 First deployment: the call from Kuwait 54:54 The first IED and a platoon sergeant he'll never forget 1:00:38 First contact 1:01:40 Lance Corporal to Sergeant in one deployment 1:03:30 MARSOC stands up 1:05:04 "No cert.

Limited Time, Limited Ammo: How Scout Snipers Prep for Hunting Season | Ep 017
Most hunters don't have unlimited range days or cases of ammo. They have jobs, families, and a few weekends before season opens. In this episode, Phillip Velayo, Jon Bumpus, and Steve Holland break down how the "time-poor hunter" should train when every round and every hour counts. Between the three of them, you're hearing from former Marine Scout Snipers, instructors, and hunters who have taken game at distance with everything from 6.5 Creedmoor to solid copper in California. No theory for theory's sake — just what actually carries over from the range to the field. In this episode, we cover: - The "time-poor hunter" and why bigger calibers don't fix weak fundamentals - ELD-M vs. ELD-X terminal performance — and what happens when you hit heavy bone - Solid copper results at distance, including a 675-yard shot - Is tripod shooting an advanced skill or a foundational one? - Controlled range environments vs. uncontrolled field environments - Glassing and target reference points — the most undertrained hunting skill - Scanning patterns that keep your brain from filling in what isn't there - A structured range plan for limited ammo: zero and trajectory validation in the first 20 rounds - Building breaks through dry fire before live fire drills - Training in cold weather and real-world conditions - Multi-use gear, survival essentials, and why you still carry a hand call Whether you're prepping for your first long-range hunt or trying to get back to your standard after an off-season, this is the framework for making limited training time count. 🎧 LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/0WhBQn3hUE1XarAFwAd2OU?si=8cc5f61c6e814f79 🎧 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-cadre-podcast/id1806120823 🎯 TRAIN WITH US: https://www.thecadretraining.com 🎒 KIT: https://www.thecadretraining.com/resources 📋 FREE DOPE CARD: https://www.thecadretraining.com/resources ⏱ TIMESTAMPS TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Cold open: why every piece of gear needs more than one job 01:21 – The time-poor hunter: four range trips, 100 rounds 02:12 – Using a bigger caliber to cover weak skills (.338 Lapua on whitetail) 03:01 – 6.5 Creedmoor on elk at 420 yards 03:49 – ELD-M vs. ELD-X: real-world terminal performance 05:10 – ELD-M penetration up close and shoulder shots 07:25 – Solid copper at distance 09:13 – Breaking down a chaotic last-light mule deer shot 10:20 – Why four range trips won't build confidence 12:47 – A strong foundation brings you back faster 14:36 – Steve's year-round sustainment plan 17:50 – Garage dry-fire drills with your tripod 19:14 – Is tripod shooting an advanced skill or a foundational one? 21:56 – Wobble zone management 23:41 – Controlled vs. uncontrolled environments 24:44 – Shooting through sagebrush and micro-terrain 26:48 – "Do you know your knots?": performing without looking 28:20 – Engagement speed and reading terrain 31:03 – What you should be thinking in the first 30 seconds 32:06 – Jon's antelope from a standing tripod 34:06 – Limited-ammo training: dry reps, then one live round 35:52 – The non-negotiables: zero, chrono, confirm trajectory 37:22 – Building breaks and timed drills 38:46 – Train in the conditions you'll hunt in 40:46 – The most undertrained hunting skill: glassing 41:08 – Target reference points: the Frank Church muley 44:33 – Scanning right to left 45:41 – Gear management, ranging through vegetation, and anchor points 49:59 – 7 PRC recoil from field positions 52:13 – Rifle weight and knowing your limitations 57:02 – Best hunting cartridge: 6.5 PRC vs. 6.5 Creedmoor 59:34 – Is PEAK ammunition worth it? 1:03:18 – Shot placement and wobble zone 1:04:45 – Pack dumps and online critics 1:09:10 – Hunting-season pack minimums 1:12:04 – Hand calls, rear bags, and emergency food 1:14:20 – Why the InReach is always in the pack 1:16:49 – What's next: 2027 schedule and Texas courses 1:18:34 – Law enforcement curriculum and drone integration 1:20:40 – Phil's fall hunts and the Seven Devils team sniper match 1:21:52 – Training for sniper matches: holdovers and night operations 1:23:51 – Wrap-up CONNECT WITH THE TEAM Phillip Velayo – https://www.instagram.com/velayo_0317 Jon Bumpus – https://www.instagram.com/thecadre.jon Steve Holland – https://www.instagram.com/steve_haf The Cadre – https://www.instagram.com/thecadre.training Precision Through Chaos.

Train Like a Pack Mule: Fitness, Rucking & the Hunter Mindset with Todd Bumgardner | Ep 016
Join Phillip Velayo and Todd of Pac Mule Training for a deep dive into the fitness side of hunting and shooting, including everything most guys overlook until the mountain humbles them. Todd walks through his journey from human performance coaching into building specialized training programs for hunters and shooters, and breaks down why movement efficiency, rucking, and base testing matter more than raw strength. He gets into how to structure a 3 to 4 month training plan, how to track progress, how to dial in gear selection and load distribution for rucking, and how physical readiness ties directly into mental confidence and decision making in the field. Whether you're prepping for an NRL Hunter event, gearing up for a backcountry season, or just tired of being the limiting factor on your own hunts, this one is worth the full sit.

Failed Sniper School, Came Back Stronger, Eric D'Oro's Story | Ep 015
Join Phillip Velayo and Eric D'Oro of The Cadre for the long version of how Eric actually got here, including the parts that didn't go to plan. Eric walks through growing up in Pennsylvania, joining the Marines at 18 in the shadow of 9/11, failing sniper school, coming back for a second attempt, and breaking his ankle mid-competition before having to drop out. He gets honest about the feedback that broke him, the bureaucracy that pushed him out of the Marine Corps, and the messy transition through college, firearms instruction, and contracting. Whether you're a young Marine wondering if you'd survive the standard, a competitor trying to reframe your last bad match, or someone mid-career-transition, this one is worth the full sit.

Tenacity Firearms: Custom Hunting Rifles Without the Wait | Ep 014
Join Phillip Velayo and Andrew of Tenacity Firearms for a full breakdown of what it actually takes to build a high-end custom hunting rifle, get it in your hands fast, and run it with confidence in the backcountry. The conversation covers Tenacity's no-wait business model, the full component stack behind the Tenacity X, and the philosophy behind building a rifle system around how hunters actually operate in the field. They walk through every layer of the build: the McMillan Mountain Hunter stock with integrated Arca and Picatinny rails, the Tenacity-branded Defiance Anti-X action, Proof Research and Hell's Canyon Armory barrel options, and TriggerTech's role in a reliable, adjustable trigger system. The discussion gets into cartridge selection strategy, why factory ammo availability matters more than most hunters realize, and how scope mount height influences your ability to run the rifle cleanly under pressure. Phillip draws direct parallels between competition shooting fundamentals and backcountry hunting performance, including what the pre-shot and post-shot process looks like when an animal is in front of you. Whether you're specing your first custom hunting rifle, tired of waiting two years for a build, or looking for a modular platform that grows with your skill level, this episode gives you a blueprint for what a purpose-built precision hunting rifle should look like.

Not All Ranges Are Equal - Wind, Positional Challenges & The Cadre Range Matrix Explained | Ep 013
In this episode, Phillip Velayo, Jon Bumpus, and Eric D'Oro of The Cadre introduce a specialized matrix for evaluating precision rifle venues based on positional challenge and wind complexity. By scoring four distinct ranges—Gravestone, Snake River, Mason Valley, and Fruit Stand—the crew demonstrates how varying terrain and environmental factors dictate specific training requirements and gear preparation. The discussion moves beyond simple mechanics to explore the nuances of wind engagement, the limitations of the Gun Number system at long range, and why "meaningful misses" are critical for growth. Whether you are a competitor, hunter, or instructor, this breakdown provides a universal framework for analyzing any range and reverse-engineering the skills needed to master it.

Inside a Precision Rifle Foundation Course: Instructor Debrief with The Cadre | Ep 012
Join Phillip Velayo, Jon Bumpus, Eric D'Oro, and Steve Holland of The Cadre for a full debrief from a two-day foundational precision rifle course in California — breaking down what actually happened in the classroom, on the line, and in the conversations that followed. The crew covers the pivot from a four-day format to two days, what got compressed, and where the pressure points showed up for students. Then it gets into performance: common equipment mistakes new shooters bring to the line, why bipod loading misconceptions persist, and what proper setup actually changes. The conversation shifts into something more useful — the difference between conscious incompetence and the path to unconscious competence, why knowing what you don't know is the most underrated outcome of a foundation course, and how different instructor styles surface breakthroughs that a single voice never could. Whether you're trying to decide if a foundation course is worth it, figuring out what gear actually matters before you show up, or looking to understand what separates structured learning from just burning ammo — this one is worth the listen.
