Head and Scope Position | Long-Range Rifle Shooting with Ryan Cleckner 

I installed this optic on a crossman 760 air rifle.I have now shot the riffle around 500 times during target/plinking practice, and the ru-vid.comUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope has done well.With this optic, I have neutralized around 30 pigeons that were invading one of my buildings.For my short range air rifle, I will continue to use this scope, but will be upgrading to a more powerful scope, when I buy a more powerful air rifle, in order to shoot at longer distance.For the money I have spent, this scope has truly been a great buy.

Golden nugget of information. Basic but critical. It was instructor's like yourself that taught me to be the soldier I am. Thank you my Brother.

So simple, so genius...

you explain things so well. Love this channel

Excellent advice. I have had to start shooting left handed because my right eye is dying. Everything about shooting LH is awkward, from mounting the rifle, to cycling the action, to shooting in different positions, even to carrying the dog-gone-thing. My effective range is now only 100 yards. I keep trying to conquer this development, I have not given up. Got any advice?

Ryan, can you please do a series on 22 long range shooting.

Love how you explain things so well , aesy to understand. Thank you Ryan .

!! how could it have been this simple??!! all these years, it's been so simple.... thank you

Excellent info Ryan, thanks friend.

Thanks. I just purchased your long range shooting handbook. Easy to read and digest. You make it simple and fun. Especially since this is very intimidating for new long range shooters like me.

Videos are absolutely excellent!

Like a dad teaching his kid how to shave! Lol , Thanks for another great tip, it may seem simple and/or common sense but sometimes you have to hear or see it to make it happen. Thanks again for the time you put into these videos. Best regards 🍻😷👍

Def gonna buy the book 👍

great info thanks. going to give that a go

I'm still new, so how about a video on length of pull, butt stock height, butt stock angle, and overall rifle setup for prone.

What I have trouble understanding with Ryan's videos, is how on earth, ANYONE, could possibly not like them? Makes you wonder about some of the folks out there... well, it makes ME wonder anyway lol.

god.. that gun is so dam beautiful... i want one!!!!

Can you also make video or tell me how to set buttpad on shoulder and how far or height to set it

I've got mine perfect.

Ryan, Can you tell us about the rifle you're using in this video? Looks like a J. Allen Enterprise chassis, but what caliber, etc. ? Thanks!

Now I like math 😂

Hey mate what’s the easiest way to shoot a rifle with both eyes open using a scope as I’ve been told that’s the best way to shoot thanks

I have and am reading your book. I have questions on your points on cheek rest re prone position. Obviously head needs to be up to see through scope. Are you trying to have head vertical to see straight down scope or tilted down a bit? Also full weight of head on stock? All 10 pounds?

What rifle and scope did you use in the head and scope video. Please make a recommendation of calibers and rifles for long range elk hunting.

After watching this video I need to do some scope work on my rifles. Ugh! Thank you for the tip. I am uncomfortable behind every rifle I own and I will fix it. I also need to buy a rear bag. The range sand bags just don’t work properly. Probably going to buy the SEB Large Bag.

Could you comment about bipod height and the angle of the neck? I oftentimes feel like I am straining my neck and wonder if it is related to bipod height but am not sure. I also struggle with the tops of the frames of my glasses being between my eye and my scope.

What are the specs on your rifle in this video?

Whats the name of the ear protection ?

CAN U TELL ME : NAME OF GUN , SCOPE.

What earpro is that? Shouldnt the front ring not be in contact with the towers or does it matter?

Is there anything on the market (and adjustable) that I can put on the stock to raise my head rest ?

It's hard to tell, but it looks like your body is a little off to one side. In your book, you said you shoot in line with the rifle. I keep finding myself off to the side a little. Is this ok or should I keep trying to correct this?

I am working with my first rifle/scope combo. (I am 71) Windham Weaponry AR15 and a Nikon P223 3x32 scope. I try to do all the right things but while I am hitting the target a t 100 and 200 yds, I can’t seem to get a consistent, small grouping. I’m not sure if it is trouble with my sight picture or trigger pull. Driving me nuts!

What brand-model cheek riser are you useing?

Great video and instruction... Any specs on the rifle being used? Stock, barrel, chassis? Just curious..

Hi! Thanks for the video. Are you supposed to use both eyes to aim thru the scope or just one eye? I always have problem to aim thru the scope because I use left eye to aim the target. Thanks.

i'm not trying to start a war here, but a very tiny shadow is ok and beneficial. why? if your view is a clear image from side to side and top to bottom ( probably what most people would think is ideal ) how do you know if your eye is actually centered? but if you have an even shadow around your view, you know for sure your eye is centered, and can easily tell if you're not. and because you can be sure your eye is centered, the parallax doesn't need to be perfect.

Yes, BUT Ryan, what do you do when some shots are prone, and some are sitting? I find the scope has to be in different places for each.

Thanks for the insights. Anyone know the type of rig hes running in the video?

Should the rifle need adjusting if I move my position, say from prone to bench?

I’m basically blind in my right eye is there a right way to do this so I can use the scope with my good eye?

How come everywhere else expect having to do with “distance shooting” the instruction is to be at an angle to the rifle? Obviously if you are supporting the front of the rifle with your hand, being straight behind the rifle would be a bit difficult. The first time a saw a bunch of guys straight behind the rifle was at a PRS match with a bunch of distance shooters. Hmm

And the rule of life in this scope tutorial. If it’s not set up right change it.

I can't get my scope moved to the rear enough without my scope rings hitting my turrets.

Is that an AAC can?

what i would like to see is if you get to shoot someone elses matched Precision rifle, which is set up for some else and then your moving your body to get to see the reticle on the scope every time, which is what i had to do, as i was invited to a march shooting practice and got a score of 38 at 1,100 yards the other guys scored around 40 to 50, only due to the extreme weather conditions, wind was so bad its not funny, 25 to 40 KM winds moving across the range from right to left and then left to right and straight at you as well, so i think i did ok, considering its not my rifle and it was a customised F class weapons system with 215 to 220 grain projectiles, so basically pushing the limits of the bullistrics coefficient of the 7.62mm rounds? Also have not shot a weapon for over 35 years, got my snipers patch at the age of 15 in the cadets and with the australia 7.62mm L1A1 SLR weapons system, cheers, basically now i am hooked on it, but need to save some cash to by a 2nd rifle and get to know how to do everything and learn as much as i can from these blokes. :) After all they are all competition shooters and also going to England this March 2019 for championships in f class?

that front scope ring is awful close to the turrets, not my choice of set up, but he is the expert and I am a old retired grunt with lots of trigger time.

finally i hear an American who know what he´s talking about, how to shoot the right way.

Dear Ryan, Is there laser is good protection from sniper? Thanks!

please Subtitle Indonesia language 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I'm not trying to be a jackwagon but is there really any reason to run a bolt that fast at a stationary range target? It just looks like showing off rather than serving any real purpose. Seriously, if there's a reason I'd like to know.
