Rifle Shooting Tips to Improve Your Accuracy 

For me, in learning, it's the why's and the how's to understand the core principles of what you're learning. Thanks dude!

Good video. For me correct breathcontrol is extremly important as well

Awesome content Brady. You may not want to share, but what are running for your hand loads in that x bolt 300 win mag? I just purchased a new x bolt long range with McMillan stock, and see you’ve already went through the learning process.

Great video. Your definition and use of parallax helped me tremendously, as well as mounting and using a bubble.

Consistent cheek weld and eye relief is also the key to accurate and repeatable shot groups . Great video 👊🏻

I love the background music! Thanks for the informative video.

Great video! I've been hunting and shooting bolt guns for years, but only in the Northeast. Shots are almost always inside of 150 yds. I want to to start hunting out west so i need to start preparing and practicing for it. Thanks for the great tips and video.

For the bipod, I have always found a longer bipod allows more set up options. I started with a 6-9” but now run a longer with a lot of success. Most cross canyon shots that I’ve taken, the slope in front of you is going downhill, so the bipod needs more length to make up for this. If you are taking a cross canyon shot at an animal that’s above you a small bipod will quickly run out of travel. I also always seem to be able to find small dips in the ground to set the bipod into to lower the effective height, but rarely find the other way around. Agree on wanting a steady bipod, but if you don’t have the height it really doesn’t help. That’s just what I’ve found.

Thanks mate. Nice job. Thankyou

Great tutorial Very helpful.

I am curious what the max range you will attempt to make an elk kill with whatever your typical rifle/scope setup is. Thank you

I definitely want front stud locked down on bipod for rear buck up for shooting over there backs at long range , I'll second definitely drink options on the bench for muzzle blast spill over and definitely buddies definitely behind for ego strokes..

When shooting prone I find it can be helpful to make a fist with your off hand and place that under the stock in the upright position. As you tense your hand you can adjust the aim of the rifle. It’s not ideal, but it works in a pinch.

So now I'm questioning everything I did. Would love to shoot more, problem is I can't shoot all my ammunition.

Helpful video. I've been out of hunting for 25 years raising kids. Went to the range with a new 22-250 my vision isn't as good as it was. Having hard time grooping constantly. It will help me gain repeatable constantly.

Do you have any tips for shooting in the sitting or standing positions? You may not always be able to shoot an animal in the prone position. Thanks for sharing.

A great refresher courses.

Looks like Desert Sportsman’s Rifle Pistol Club range 5 outside of Las Vegas.

question; when setting up to shoot a shot do you pull the rifle towards you or do you let it rest on your pocket shoulder? And if you do how much torque do you pull the rifle towards you before taking the shot? Thank you.

that rugged ridge support is cool looking, but I'd think it'd make it very difficult to change elevation. I like a bad that I can squeeze to raise and lower...its much more fluid!

when dry firing as a teen dad taught me to have a spent shell in the receiver to stop the the firing pin from over extending it's travel causing damage to the pin & breakage

This is fascinating. I've been shooting CMP "High Power" for about 12 years, Iron sights at 200 yards. This match shooting is very interesting and challenging, with the only support being a leather or synthetic heavy sling while in prone position on a mat. Placing your support hand through a loop created by the "keepers" adjusted for your arm length provides a pretty stable prone or sitting platform. Although I am by no means among the very best, I do ok....My best match was a couple of years ago placing 5 rounds in a 1.75" center (X) and 4 others in the 10 ring....one shot in the 9 ring (dang!) in prone position. Kept that target :) - but now my eyes are getting a bit older and I finally succumbed to using a 4x scope. A whole new world. I will take your thoughts to the range next time and make a few adjustments. I like your suggestions....particularly body adjustment behind the rifle and now I should consider a bubble level. thanks for a great video.

Love your videos

On your browning did you do anything to the triggers or keeper them stock?

Great video! Thanks for the tips.

Thanks for your video.

Great tips! Thanks!!

I used to have a short bipod, but antelope hunting in stubble fields require a long enough bipod for me to sit behind, rather than shooting prone. Like you said in the video, there is not a one size fits all for bipod length. Just know how to use whichever you have...

"Plethora" ... Damn dude! Love the video and the big words. Lol - thanks for putting all this stuff out there.

Lot's of solid tips. Thank you.

If shooting from a bipod, make sure the bipod is NOT completely locked tight and that you can completely push forward on the bipod with the rifle. This will make tracking the round much easier as the recoil will transmit through the bipod (moving backwards) and into your body and helps prevent the gun from jumping.

😎👏👏👏, just like the golf driving range, set up your phone on record video behind you then review your technique afterwards😊👍

Great video! What rear bag is that?

Looking forward to more thank you

Good info. thanks Go Hunter.

Brady made great points for a target rifle...although somewhat irrelevant on what an accurate hunter/rifle should be...a hunting rifle should be something you pull up to your shoulder and execute your game without looking at a shooting chart... if you can't be fully confident in your shot... take a breather and get closer, has always worked for me and my old man

Dry fire practice is all about the sight, same as a pistol. You have to pull the trigger without the sight moving.

good stuff!!!!!

hey GOHUNT do you address in or at any time how important it is to know which eye to use. In other woulds can you tell if a person is using the wrong eye. Heres why I ask. I am watching a youtuber at an indoor range try to sight in a rifle and he is all over the place as to how he is holding his rifle to cheek placemeet and he took the scope of because he could find the target. ( went to redot ) He says he is left eye dom but he uses his right eye. Would make a video about this topic so I could send it to him. Thks Mike. oh and if anyone else has a video let me know.

I need the link to buy that rear toe support thing that looks kinda like pliers

Beautiful rifle, but looks like a tank with that big glass. What does it weigh with bipod?

I too have a sig kilo 2400ABS where can one find a good tutorial on how to true your date on this range finder it is my first Range finder I am a intermediate shooter I know how to use the range finder except for trueing .. thanks for the great videos

great vid

Thank for the tips

Good advice thanks

Great Video , thank you .

When you are getting ready to shoot, do you lean into your bipods? Like load your bipods, so there is less recoil.

Nice advice! Do you sight in using the same body position!

Awesome video. What make and model is that rear scissor looking rest device?

How tight do you want to pull the rifle in the shoulder pocket?

A .22lr is a good learning tool for marksmanship. Even at 25 yards, you can learn good fundamentals.

Anybody know what bipod that is? Looks nice

What kind of bipod is on your rifle? That’s a cool locking mechanism.

I had one of those fx chronos and couldnt rely on it for consistent readings . But can you not see that all that your really changing by moving your scope is the hight of your pellets above over the radar sensing zone .all that it is demonstrating is the the shift in pellet elevation is giving you false or unreliable readings rather than the true velocity . What you have really proved is that my un reliability claim is total correct .if another shooter happens to shoot a better grouping after shifting thier scope it does not necessarily prove that the scope shift was responsible for that acuracy increase, inconsistent shooters are a dime a dozen with very few actualy pracising correct marksmanship techniques.

What size of vortex scope is it?? Nice setup 🤙🏼

Great tips

are you preloading your bipod?

Send It !

Proper Cheek weld is definitely key. Love all my Kydex Cheek Risers, especially for Hunting & Long Range shooting. They are lightweight & won't soak up any smells or degrade. Great video, very informative & nice looking rifle.

Brady said that he was fire forming brass. Im curious why he was fire forming 300 win mag brass? Never heard of anyone having to fire form brass. If he is shooting brass just to form to that chamber so he doesnt have to full length size I would highly recommend he reconsiders how he sizes brass and only full length size. If not then I am very curious.

May have been mentioned but I didn't hear..which bipod are you running?

With all this technology how in the world did hunters shoot anything 60 years ago...

Do the bipods that clamp to your barrels work because i don’t have something to attach a normal bipod to.

How do you use the rear support while hunting if theres nothing to set it on

I learned something today ⚔

I use my other arm as a rear support

What rifle are you demonstrating in the video?

I like classic hunting rifles.never had enough ammo. Believe in belted head spacing. Placing shoulder length still important 4 accuracy and longer case life.u agree? How do you do that?😒🐎

whats the bipod?

What bipod is that?

New rifle owner here, how does the leaning of the rifle (cant) effect how the bullet travels? Genuine question, that just doesn't make sense to me

Still a great pump gun even though it is mostly plastic, ru-vid.comUgkxh4su9YgU1tWmjikirWcKJbjsFLEU62Bc but with care it will last a long time. It would be neat if Crosman would make a commemorative version of this with real wood stock, but of course it would weigh more and cost more, but hey, it would be cool. The included scope is more of a toy, but it does work for backyard plinking. I prefer to use pellets for greater accuracy, but BBs are just as good for plinking. This is not a Red Ryder folks; fully pumped it is 3 times the power of a Red Ryder and can be dangerous if not handled properly. Be safe out there.

if you shoot under 200yards a bubble level is not necessary (probably not at 300y either), if you are of angel your rifle like 0,5 degree, it wont matter, it´s way better to pratice so you have muscle memory, yes you can hold your rifle at an angel and think your in level, but usally it won´t matter

For those wondering which hand placement video Brady meant. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zH4TLvV1LsA.html YW goHUNT

that's not the factory barrel on that xbolt right?

What bipod is that mate?

How much does your rifle way? Seems like that would be heavy to carry in the hills all day.

What kind of scope is that?

i wonder how hunters and shooters shot accurately for hundreds of years without a bubble level? I want to be like them! Not that I am against the modern tech. Well ok maybe a little against it😅 But I have never used a bubble level and even though I am certainly not a super skilled shooter I’ve also taken many deer over the years, never using a level.

Bubble level???? My cross hairs are level.

You just have to calculate the slope in you mind.

Watched you nail a huge moose at 600 plus yards through trees

Rule 1 to shooting ( which i firmly stand by).. 2 drink options on bench at all times

At what distance does a bubble start to come into play?....200yds? 300yds? 500yds?

This is what told me that Brady is someone to listen to when it comes to shooting game: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dDen_V0lBW4.html

A sling @Brady Miller , learn to use a sling. I’m not talking about a cobra sling, those things are worthless. I’m talking about a a leather or nylon competition sling sold by @Brownells. Your not always going to have a chance to “get into position” and learning to carry and shoot your gun with a good sling is a must. Just a suggestion…learn to use a sling.

No one ever talkn about shooting off hand with this type of rifle... not everything gonna be 500 plus...

scope are onnessery cost and schit , onley bisnnes !!! keep and korrel openschicht more you dont need noth and skills

What that shooting matte? Where can i get one

I have to break my neck to properly see through my scope and it's difficult to find the target...when I use other friends weapons their scopes are much easier to use.... ✌️🤘🤘😎

These Buffers are the Cats Pajamas !!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x-iPrRRIO1M.html

Think I nodded off twice 😅😴

First off, get directly square behind your rifle not leaning sideways. Those benches are a poor design.

Dont be overly concerned with canting....no ???? Ask marine DI Boyd national service rifle champion m14 rifle who shot with a cant simply because that's how his body conformed in his positioning...you gonna argue with a 2370 out of 2400 out thru 600 yards....youll have more problems from a lousy bipod than you will from a cant...

what the hell you doing hunting or benchrest shooting???🤣

Great tips - thanks!!!

What bipod is that?
