JaegerZ999
The channel JaegerZ999 did not start with a plan--even the name came straight from the gamer tag used by its creator. As a new enthusiast who discovered the world of firearms and shooting in late 2019, he dove into this hobby without reservation. The record shortage of firearms and ammo at the time heavily influenced his affinity toward AK platforms, the firearms of choice for those who wanted to shoot quantity at the range without breaking the bank.Some of his favorite activities include taking a stock firearm and pushing it to the limit with an assortment of accessories. By showcasing these firearms in a safe and entertaining manner, he wanted to inspire current gun owners with their builds and draw in new people to the world of firearms and shooting.As an avid supporter of the Second Amendment, he believes the best way to help preserve this right is to expand the base of support. With bite-sized and easily consumable content, people can see how fun this hobby is, therefore opening the door for them to learn more about this hobby, eventually becoming supporters of the inalienable right.

Bolt Action Reloading
Bolt Action Reloading is a YouTube channel dedicated to helping people better understand the reloading process and achieve their shooting goals. The goal of the channel is to share the information and lessons learned at the reloading bench and at the shooting range. Everything from the basic steps of reloading, understanding how barrel twist affects bullet stability, and the tools that make the process easier are covered. Even though he started hunting more than 30 years ago, success had always been inconsistent for Bolt Action Reloading's host and creator. On a family elk hunt in Colorado, on the last day, 3 bulls appeared at a distance between 200 – 300 yards. No one in the hunting party had a rifle system capable of making an ethical kill at that distance. Never again would this mistake be made. In 2016, he started down the path of creating better ammo as well as becoming a better shooter overall. Not only has he enjoyed greater success hunting, but in 2022 he was able to reach his goal of not only getting impacts on steel out to a mile but helping others to do the same.
