Long Range Beginners | Tips & Tricks 

The -150 and -200 for faster rounds as a get in ball park down range, is a awesome tip.

Very happy to see more people getting into long range instead of CQB. A lot more open spaces.

1:27 "He's just a SERE guy" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO😭😭😭

Adrian is a PHENOMENAL spotter and coach

I really do appreciate the way the precision shooting concepts were explained. That made some of this a lot easier to understand.

Drew jumping every shot on the intro made me chuckle. We've all had that "spotter" before. Lol

I've always thought there were three ranges of engagement. 1. CQB or pistol round range i.e. 0-50m. CQB is range that might quickly turn into H2H. 2. Carbine range 50-300m. Running and gunning with potential for BOTH shooting on feet, knees, squatting, barriers. 3. Rifle range or prone with scope and bipod, etc. A range that requires more aim and less running.....until the enemy gets close enough and you had better run fast and shoot straight.

You guys are doing great stuff. I really think this is what the industry needs. Humble, funny, and relevant. Great job, boys.

Best way to learn how long distance work that I’ve experienced is signing up for WPS and going through Cleckner’s long range courses. First time I shot past 200yds was at 1300 and I had a first round impact just because I learned from that online course. It was eye opening and empowering

Magnificent coaching shown here in this video. Of course in long range high power rifle competition the shooter is not expecting anything from the spotter/score keeper. But for sure if the spotter can discern first round impact then the shooter has a call/strike corollary which is paramount to shooter/target analysis and such analysis will allow for better results for work in progress. In other words, the score keeper can help the shooter get on target in conditions that are not at first understood by the shooter.

Shooting at distance isn't complicated. It does require mastery of marksmanship fundamentals and DOPE. Most often, finding a location to collect that DOPE is the major limitation. Go find a Highpower club near you and make friends.

Longe range shooting is very satisfying, but the data collection process is tedious. You have to be thorough and consistent. You cant expect your "DOPE" from one range trip to be enough to go off of. The environmental conditions change day to day and therefore you POI will change to. Learning it all is a hell of a rabbit hole and if you dont take the time to learn the effects of the environmentals you will be chasing your tail at further distances. Edit: you dont need a Chronograph or a kestrel. Yes it will help a ton but if you dont understand why the ballistic computer says to dial 5.9 mils then what are you going to do when your batteries die?

This was awesome. Thanks for putting this together guys.

Stellar content! Thanks Adrian for the insights!

“I dont know exactly what this means but I heard Garand Thumb talking about overmatch” “He’s just a SERE guy” Many such cases!

Love seeing the long range content!

I really wanna try this place out. I’ve never shot past 1200 yards. I’ve stopped by there once and it looks awesome. Even had the pleasure of speaking to the operator. Seems like a great place!

Adrian is awesome. Took a class with him in WA and I got hooked on the long range game.

Some very good solid advice. No situation is perfect. no situation will be engaged at the same Distance

excellent instruction and insight

Some of the most logical and easy to understand instruction that work!

Really enjoyed this vid!!!

Adrian is a solid dude. Great video.

You can sure see that pic rail flex and wobble and the built in pic rail helps for sure, but something like a Sgt of Arms handguard with a built in Arca rail allowing for easy bipod adjustment is the way to go.

Wow dude i learn alottttt from this vid. This guy is good. He not just said whats wrong he showed us y!

Good stuff. Thanks

Wow! Just learned so much!

It was cool how quickly you started hitting the target.

This is awesome! Adrian hope you are doing well!

good stuff guys. I love that range! really good people down there.

SIDEWINDER!! Badass dude

That intro was great as always!

Another fantastic info drop

I came here for the intro and stuck around for the knowledge. Neither was a disappointment.

Damn…. That grip info was priceless!!! I’ll be switching to that for sure!!! I’ll be upgrading my SPR’s rail eventually. Was thinking the Geissele MK16 but now I see the benefit of the MK4. I have a MK16 on an 11.5” AR. Geissele makes amazing rails, triggers and charging handles. Unable to comment on their other products but they are prob all solid.

sidwinder concepts is the real deal!

Less then 3 min in..... That intro is GREAT!!!

great video!!!.. that is what happens in the range when you take a friend who says he know what's he is doing... fun times, money spent

Great content

Although modern sniper rifles with interchangeable barrels, bolt heads and magazines have "M-Lock" forearms the BARRETT MRAD has the upper, forearm and Pic rail as a MONOLITHIC solid piece. That is a great advantage in eliminating tolerance stacking of many pieces that need to be very tightly attached to each other - but may not be in actual practice.

There are a lot of gold nuggets in this video. I would just add, record the adjustments you make that end up getting your hits. Record those for each distance and youll be able to make a DOPE card. DOPE meaning data on previous engagements

Thanks!

I used to have a TERRIBLE lisp. A speech therapist I knew noticed and asked if I wanted to address it during a car ride to lunch. They told me when an S is coming up, grit your teeth. You can't lisp with closed teeth. After a week I didn't have to think about it, it just happened. Has never come back since. 🎉❤

Is the shifting of the bipod, via Picatinny mlok adapter, worth it enough to change from one hand guard to another? Seemingly, I can only find the Geissele Mk4 that he mentioned with the 1 section of picatinny.

It would be nice to see what the scope pov is and why does he have a blackhawk holster 💀

I love the hat. Love the content too. Appreciate it boys

Awesome channel! thanks! Any good long range ranges near DFW, TX?

The first thing to do is get your elevation right then work of your windage & rotation calculated,as a former airborne solder & sniper fiddling with a dope card allowed the enemy to get his sights on you

How would the minus 150 yards apply to an MOA reticle?

Would like to see what details are on the wrist band range card! What's the silhouette used for?

Bro I wish we were friends cuz the intro on this was fuckin classic 😂 love what you guys do keep up the good info

Dang this is great.

Is there a milliradians reticle inside the spotter's binoculars? If so, what model binos are those, and if not, how is he estimating corrections based on impacts?

Love the spotting scope😂

Do u mind if I ask what camera you guys were using to Shoot this content ? Awesome Clarity

The beginning reminded me of that Lunker's video a few years ago!😂😂😂

Interesting, how the blister on his hand was enormous in the first run and then so much smaller, when they started the training. :D

So, he mentioned the general "rule" of take your distance and subtract 150.... Is the resulting number intended to be used in moa or mil? Or am I misunderstanding?

Thanks for the vid gents. Can we do a 3 month shtf stockpile on a budget vid? Idk why but I got a bad feeling 2024 is gunna be rough for us as a nation

This is like my long range hunting buddies in the beginning.

Best concept to visualize. Don't think about distance think about time variables have to effect the bullet. A 3 or 400 yard shot there really isn't that much time variables have an effect. If you factor in magnification that's at least 1x per 100 yards 400 yards and a 1-2 moa rifle 400 yard hits are nothing.

This is beautiful because civilians created marksmanship and now it’s returning to civilians in an advanced form. Tar heels

FITFO is a good saying

Hilarious intro

I am surprised that NPOA (natural point of aim) was never discussed...as it is THE most important element of marksmanship...nuff said!

Hilarious opening

Long range shooting is relative to the caliber you are shooting The best caliber to learn long range is actually .22 You can learn all the fundamentals of long range shooting with .22 and for 1/100th of the price

good

Hilarious. 25 mils! Love it

wind calls LOL....With the miic sticking up in the wind LMAO

POV: Dennis Reynolds Spotting Dee. Dennis: Gutterball! 😂 If you know what I'm talking about I love you.

I love these intros lol

what scope is it? Mk5 2-10?

This might be the first time I get to disagree with you about something lol. I'm a pretty big fan of the AEMS. I agree on the price, and would suggest to be patient and wait out for a solid deal like I did. The tint isn't any worse than an Aimpoint PRO to me, and the claims of it being nice with NV I can confirm, being a big factor for me personally. That's pretty high praise being that I'm comparing its performance to other optics I have that's popular with NV such as the Eotech EXPS3, Aimpoint Comp M4s & T2 and even a Vortex Huey. Thanks for the heads up on the mount. The mount itself seems robust, but that detent attachment point I did wonder if it risked slipping with a hard enough impact. For that reason, I gobbed loctite on the threads to double up on securing it. The AEMS is on a 6" 300blk build, and it gets banged around a lot through transport. It travels with me daily for work. But it hasn't been dropped straight on the optic yet, such as in your testing. Zero has stayed on mine with "practical" mistreatment. As always, love your unbiased content. Even if it doesn't always match with mine. This time, being the first 😎

Does the 150 and 200 yards apply to moa scopes also?

Helpful tip. With a new gun/ammo for getting dope try weaponized math/ gravity ballistics. Look it up it works.

kudos to him for the Serpa and going hammer fired

Bros glock thumb is BAAAAD

He said “try bracketing it like artillery”

Does anybody know what brand that AR-15 is?

What tripod head is Adrian glassing off of?

That entire intro is me and my buddies trying to hit a target at 100yds with a random hand-me-down bolt action he got from some random dude at a cattle show.

"He is just a SERE guy" 💀

Cool

The intro reminds me of when the Reaper and Lunkers tried to shoot long range and Lunkers was his spotter. It was embarrassing.

Twisted Barrel is an insanely expensive range to be a member of.

What info does he have on his arm

Love to see people rocking New Hampshire made guns.. Q is coming out with some crazy stuff.

How can I trust a guy with a Serpa holster?

cqb is anywhere to close for comfort ... so if they shootin at me thats any where from 1 to 2 miles

"I'm out of the Houston area". Me: Get's excited.

👊🤠

What would Kevin Owens do. WWKO.

"He's just a sere guy" 😂

#groups

Did you shoot the drone? The second half the drone is MIA😂

Good channel

The Earth is not moving!

Like a beaten zone? Keep applying machine gun theory to this and I might just be able to get it.

Is that… a Blackhawk holster….
