The official RU-vid Channel for the U.S. Army marksmanship Unit (USAMU), which wins national and international shooting competitions, supports Army marketing engagements, and advances small arms lethality to demonstrate Army marksmanship capability, connects America to its Army and enhances marksmanship effectiveness in combat.
Sidebar, when shooting Mk262 from an M16 A4 a 25/300 yard zero is more precise than a 25/300 meter zero. Not much but fact in standard atmospheric conditions where average muzzle velocity is 2750. Also you can use an MOA wind constant of 10 with great results from 200 to 500 meters. For 600 meters use a constant of 8.
I was hoping she was going to say that she relaxes away from competition or deals with the stress by sitting down and playing the piano🤣. My mom gave her piano lessons up in PML, Groveland, CA when Sagen was a kid. Congratulations Sagen for getting the silver medal...my mom would be so happy for you!
It was awesome to here one person to represent our state of alaska it was so awesome to hear that all the way up in alaska sagen maddalena u brought our hopes to here u represent our state here was so cool to here that thanks for putting our state in the olympics I thank u for that awesome sauce
Did all the same growing up. My small town didn't have jack crap for opportunities or mentorship for young shooters. All of my school programs were geared towards becoming a bureaucrat, liberal or getting ready to become a cashier in the service industry. Yay USA....not.
Good on ya! Keep it up! Would've LOVED to do something like this in the Army. Sad part is, they don't let any of us know about marksmanship opportunities. Making the platoon lead look good is more important. 😥
I think it’s possibly a hybrid. Maybe a Wal-dini. I remember that some shooters were using hybrid mixed with Walther and Pardini parts. The stock though does not look like your standard Walther L400 model though. I can make out the Walther logo on the firing mechanism
This is cool too and it has it's applications. It's still vital to train with the real deal to get used to the swing of the rucksack. It's not just the weight you have to overcome, it's learning how to become one with your pack. That's how I got really good at the wooble run you do with a heavy ass rucksack and at maneuvering in between objects and foliage with it on. Otherwise you'll be making all kinds of noise out in the field because you aren't used to the extra surface area attached to your body. Don't be the guy that draws attention to your team, nobody likes that guy. Strength and Honor, gentlemen. 🇺🇲
Salute to AMU. Retired 11B. 8yrs AD, 19VTARNG and when my body gave out, was staff and instructed MMship a lot. Went to Sniper School in Panama before DA re-activated it and one Army guy who went to USMC Sniper School and AMU. One key lesson if I may pass on: "The Iron sights on my rifle never fogged up, never had the battery run out and the lens never cracked." After they shoot beyond max effective range, then let them put on scopes. We WILL face a World War and they will not be able to churn out enuf gadgets to turn a moron into a Marksman which is what they are doing now. There is much more to Advanced Rifle MMship (I retired in 08 and terminology and expertise is obviously dated) than what the old joke of an FM stated. Tactics must be part of it. Anyways, SALUTE AMU.
The way he did this won’t tell you anything about point of impact. He basically “aimed” the shotgun at the patterning board. I can take any shotgun with a straight barrel and move it until the bead is “aimed” at the spot on the board. To do the POI test correctly, put tight chokes in the barrel, step off 15-16 yards and mount and shoot the spot 4 times JUST LIKE YOU WOULD SHOOT A BIRD OR CLAY GOING DEAD AWAY FROM YOU. DON’T aim like he did. Then look at your pattern and determine if you are shooting right where you are looking.
* What this guy is doing is adjusting the pattern of his gun so it will throw that pattern where he wants it to go. If you don't aim the gun at a certain point, you don't know how the gun throws its pattern. Of course, his gun fits him properly to begin with, and his shooting eye is properly located. You can take any gun and move the barrel so it's pointed at the target, but can you consistently do so in a hunting situation, or in International Skeet competition where your gun is not pre mounted before the target emerges? If you do what you are saying to do, and the gun doesn't fit you, your pattern will be anywhere but where you want it to be. Your method is actually used to highlight any errors between the gun and the shooter so that corrections can be made. These errors include adjustments to the gun stock as well as any corrections needed on how the shooter shoulders his gun.
Very concise and informative. How did you get your second shot off so fast? Did you move the swich to change barrels or does your gun have double triggers?
That's not Skeet, it's Trap... Either way most competitive shooters prefer an over/under shotgun, like the Browning Citori with interchangeable 28 gauge barrels.
