Anyone else appreciate how fast and concise he is? Thumbs up for getting to the point and not wasting time with irrelevant talking.

@ryanfreeman125 5 лет назад

6:42 he was about to say "how bad you are." He wouldn't be wrong though lol

@hunterlamca7896 4 года назад

Ryan Lockwood I thought the same thing! He was right for sure

@RoarOfJahLion 3 года назад

Nice catch I was going to comment lol. He almost let it slip

You have some of the best shooting fundamentals on RU-vid.

@briangwin6120 3 года назад

Just found this guy tonight and have learned more about practical shooting than I have in a lifetime. Very concise.

@dslancon 9 лет назад

Ryan, do you have instructions on how your sling is made? Or have you made them available for sale in any way? It looks very effective and user friendly.

@calisti555 7 лет назад

Doug Lancon kind of looks like the Magpul MS4 sling because it has that quick cinch strap to adjust the length except the MS4 has QD connections and can be configured as a 1 or 2 point.

@usmcxx1775 4 года назад

@@calisti555 super late comment I know, but for anyone interested the sling he is using is his own design. "Wilderness Cleckner Cuff Sling"

Ryan Cleckner is a former Army Ranger sniper and instructor with the 1st Ranger Battalion of the US Army.

@johnsanders7337 2 года назад

The stuff I was taught as a youngster by the old Vietnamn, Korea, ww2 vets, Ryan has covered ALL of it throughout his videos. Atleast the technique and fundamentals that work. A zero bs teacher. But at the same time the way he presents it, translates well to all age groups. Phenomenal teacher. Going through his videos ... he s not reading a script wrote by a team. This guy actually knows his stuff. He UNDERSTANDS it. Experienced it.

@CraigeLowry 9 лет назад

Excellent instruction. Thank you for the tips. My son and I will use them for sure !

@JS-lx8iz 11 лет назад

Marine Corps has been using a loop sling for many years and it is very stable.

@racko32 8 лет назад

When I first went to the range to get ready for hunting with my dad, all he taught me to do was zero in the scope and shoot from prone or the bench. I quickly realized that this isn't the case when hunting and I messed around with different stances. This video did give some more stances I could use and I'm glad I have both the bipod and sling.

@TOYCH Год назад

Ryan's the best simplistic presenting instructor. From novice to advanced, he can have something to help for anyone.

@paulhunt4690 2 года назад

Learned all this on the rifle team in high school, 75-78. Glad to see it come around again. Teenagers today don’t have the opportunity to learn this like I did! For standing we put our left thumb under the trigger guard and rested the stock on the rest of the fingers.

@trailertrashtactics 6 лет назад

Six years later, still such an awesome video! Even for people late to the game like myself. I subscribed!

@EverythingisFire 12 лет назад

Love his videos but there's plenty of videos put out by the NSSF that are informative & interesting :) Love their variety.

@chetan.gondaliya 8 лет назад

AWSOME TIPS

@joeclark1871 3 года назад

You really need to check out Ryan's book, "Long Range Shooting". There's a wealth of good information in there, the videos are great supplements, but he gives you a much better explanation in the book.

@waffles05 5 лет назад

Just got my hunting rifle and the first 30 seconds of this video was exactly what I was thinking before I headed out to the range. And this video explained exactly what I wanted to know! Thank you!

@Musicdudeyoutub 10 лет назад

This is an awesome video! I learned so much about proper shooting techniques. Time for some hands-on learning! :)

@slunlalvaiphei9545 3 года назад

Sir pliz make more videos about standing position

@DrThunder88 10 лет назад

Good advice! Unfortunately, my local range only allows shooters to use the prone or the bench. The baffle prevents both the sitting and the kneeling. There's one place nearby that I think allows the standing, but permanent benches make it difficult to even use the prone.

@carterrk 12 лет назад

One other thing. What hes is teaching in a 7 min video took an entire week of classes followed a week at the range just to somewhat master at the 200 yard line, i.e. the sitting and kneeling positions. Great video.

@danielchristensen305 Год назад

Ryan is an amazing instructor. Just well thought out, no nonsense or fluff. Facts.

@iwilrage 4 года назад

@lbriant48 3 года назад

You ever use your sling around the trunk of tree with a twist to keep it snug ? For a long range shot ?

@janemmanueldeguzman5855 4 года назад

For me, his videos are really helpful :) Thanks NSSF and Ryan Cleckner :)

@neoprimato1959 12 лет назад

An excellent instruction video. You are a gifted instructor in so many ways. Keep up the great stuff.!

@anayman7 12 лет назад

I download all his videos

@raphaelmartines 10 лет назад

Great video man! Lots of valuable info for a hunter and avid shooter like myself, and many others, thanks. Really liked the tips on the sling, its a great tool, when you know how much you can get out of it, and not just to hang your rifle by, lol..

@angelmarrerojr7030 4 года назад

It has been a while, this is a real nice refresher, with candid advise about getting off the bench and really practice the way we should be, as we would shoot in the wild. Thank you for the video and the sling tips...I am grateful and appreciate it lots!

@michealmahmoud4058 6 лет назад

In a prone position accuracy is maximized and generally the shooter will hit the target and gain a nice group. Even though my sniper is zeroed, when I fire at 100yards the first bullet hits below the target and then the second third and fourth bullet will hit the target. What’s the problem and how can I avoid it?

@MB-rp6od 5 лет назад

Traveller In case you haven’t figured it out by now, it sounds like a cold barrel. Usually the first shot goes low if its from a cold barrel. To avoid this, fire a few rounds to warm up the barrel before you go for your group.

@lostboys111 10 лет назад

damn this dude knows his shit i never thought of these ways to shoot.

@dennisdonovan3153 4 года назад

Ryan is great! What a master! Thank you for your instructional and adversarial videos!!

@Wanderinwonder427 11 месяцев назад

😂you’re going to be surprised how BA..um difficult it is😂 you’re a saint sir and thank you for the education I will definitely try these positions my next rifle session ❤

@hdwelding1 6 лет назад

I have not tried this yet but so far this is the best video I’ve seen on explaining different shooting positions

@2009statechamps1 11 лет назад

Thanks Ryan again as on all of your videos! Can you make a video of how the military snipers paint their rifles like yours? Your videos always make common sense that's applicable.

@wolffo999 2 года назад

great vid

@vieuxacadian9455 3 года назад

Practice ,,, practical . The only way to develop is real world . Great vis Sir . thanks

@kentjerrett2201 6 лет назад

the greatest video on basic shooting positions i have ever seen. well done guys.

@elcidcampeador9629 Год назад

I actually find the sling when standing to be very helpful if you really lock your arm in it.

@horsedaddy230 Год назад

Any tips on shooting through a scope and keeping both eyes open ? I see 2 sight pictures when I have both eyes open. Thanks

@55reco 11 лет назад

I love his videos, easy to understand. I have learned a ton on how to shoot. Thanks!

@davidanderson7621 12 лет назад

Another great video from Ryan! I love this guy's teaching style. I wish I could have learned to shoot from him!

@RickNethery 8 лет назад

Very Good Training. I train this way, I get teased for not shooting good groups in the Videos I make, but practice this way for Hunting. After firing this way, when You have the luxury of a rest You shoot very well.

@genenightthunder2727 4 года назад

rifle should be resting on your open palm to less grip and weight to fire more accurately

@enjoypool4052 5 лет назад

I like the video well enough, but is there anybody on youtube who isn't a "Top secret military sniper"? i miss Bob Milek, Elmer Keith, Jack O'Conner class; writers with actual hunting experience.

@Sjadow75 7 лет назад

Great advice ,very informative 👍

@jsimo1431 6 лет назад

great tips. nice and to the point. thank you!

@RetroTeddyBear 3 года назад

I like my lightweight shooting stick as much as I hate having to shoot standing, and that is a lot.

@brianlee6849 4 года назад

One thing I would disagree with is when using a rest I was taught to use the sling for support and put the back of the left hand on support whether laying down using a pack or standing. Do everything you normally would just use support to brace the back of the left hand. Don't rest rifle on anything with out left hand between .Hope that makes sense. Thanks for sharing

@ericb.4358 5 лет назад

When hunting I use my hiking poles for X'd shooting sticks. I've practiced with them so I know how to get into position quickly to rest my rifle's fore arm on the crossed pole straps. But Ryan's positions should be practiced for times when you have no shooting sticks. My hiking poles are adjustable and I've memorized the measurement numbers on the sticks for seated and kneeling. Soon I'll practice for standing (offhand) position.

@pablopenasco4254 12 лет назад

Ryan you need a cool 80's sweatband!

@deathsicon 2 года назад

For improved shooting positions, I've only made it with squirrel hunting with an air gun so far, but I've jammed a knife into a tree to make my own rest, didn't get it solid enough to hold against real recoil but that may have been slightly dull and a harder tree fighting against me

@GTMGunTotinMinnesotan 7 лет назад

It would be cool to see Ryan shooting from this Caldwell rest in the field and see what results he gets. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CmCYJhzXcnA.html

@zarmindrow5831 2 года назад

I'm too damn old to sit on the ground folded up like some wild injin.

@ak9o7st 9 лет назад

You are straining your neck, back and head to look through the scope. Keep your back straight. Adjust the height of your legs and bring the scope to you

@ak9o7st 9 лет назад

I sit on the ground with with my knees bent and rest my elbows on my knees. Adjust legs for comfortable height to look through scope.

@tobydz 3 года назад

Ryan & the NSSF are just awesome... Thanks for everything you do guys (n gals)

@artwebb6939 Год назад

Good content, and I appreciate you not waffling on

@mcinnisthemenace216 4 года назад

This video help me advance from marksmen to expert 40/40, the sling is the ultimate tip for shooting kneeling.

@geraldwest3428 8 лет назад

Thank you for your time and talent, very helpful! Looks like a nice rifle you have, is that a 16" barrel? Thanks again!

@goosecouple 2 года назад

So many cacti in the background.

@Redstormclouds 12 лет назад

Overall good video. I myself sight in my rifle at the range and get my best groups. I then shoot my pellet gun at home at about 20 yards with dime sized targets. I practice any position in my back yard. Standing is the most important position! Last two deer kills reaction shots at 115 and 30 yards. Pellets are cheap $10 for a thousand. My range cots $20 plus ammo. I practice standing with one armed tucked tightly aiming the weapon downrange with off hand loose on side, good exercise!

@SnowblindOtter 4 года назад

I might have to try some of these... I do pigeon control in my neighborhood, and just the other day I used a wild Figure-4 position to shoot a pigeon off of a roof from a seated position. Was probably the most accurate high-angle shot I ever took, and it opened my eyes to the fact that I need to focus on my off-hand shooting as much as my rested shooting.

@MMASulu 6 лет назад

Cross your legs, hug your knees with your support arm, and shoot Hathcock style

@calisti555 7 лет назад

I have been bench resting to sight in a new scope but after I'll try it standing while bracing a vertical post next time I'm at the range. I've already do that technique with hand guns.

@mikedevere Год назад

Totally agree. No bs and great advice 👌

@carterrk 12 лет назад

The sitting position is as stable as the prone sometime more so. I love the sitting position but not very practical except for those long shots when you have the time.

@walterluiz4694 4 года назад

I am from Brazil and would thank you for your videos. So good and clear informations.

@leonidas231 10 лет назад

i would shoot standing.... but my rifle is 15lbs and thats without the scope and loaded

@carterrk 12 лет назад

I have a question, is Ryan Cleckner a former member of the Military? These techniques he is teaching are great and what I was taught from Marine Marksmanship training.

@janishunts 11 лет назад

Ryan, I'm having a terrible time tracking down one of those Eagle Industries' Shooter's Rifle Stock Packs. Any advice on where or how to get one?

@OutdoorEDventures 12 лет назад

Always appreciate the education and knowledge base. Thank You.

@mhfisc 12 лет назад

Do you have a video or write up on how to make the cuff sling he has on his rifle?

@aldrineuri122 4 года назад

I always wondered why I can't shoot birds when standing up I thought it was the scope but when I'm shooting targets I always get bullseye

@wldmcmullen 12 лет назад

ryan great video but i would be very interested on how you made your sling i have not found a sling that fits me and have thought about making one but have no clue were to start any ideas

@ramblinwithwreck 12 лет назад

Great video! We teach the unsupported positions (sitting, kneeling and standing) and sling us in Project Appleseed. You sling is much more than a tool for carrying your rifle. If you really want to improve your unsupported shooting learn to master the use of a loop and hasty sling.

@cl60cruzer 10 лет назад

Ryan could you please show your sling up close so I can make one,or send me to a website so I can buy one from you.

@tolismargiolas8355 6 лет назад

Thank you, Sir

@robertwest4299 2 года назад

Damn! I want to take a precision rifle course with you as the instructor.

@cdnhelo68 10 лет назад

Hi Ryan, once again a great video, clear and concise. I posted a question a while back (in the wrong section, sorry for jacking your thread, not sure what I was thinking!!). We've been shooting 7mm Rem Mag at ~315 yds from the x-legged seated position and I'm finding myself pulsating from left to right as I'm looking through my scope and I can't shake it. I'm resting on bone mass rather than muscle, am making proper use of the hasty sling and think I've found my natural respiratory pause, however I'm beginning to feel the source of the problem is the latter. Would you agree, any suggestions. Thank you in advance.

@RyanCleckner 9 лет назад

Matt S I can not hold the reticle perfectly still in unsupported positions. They key is to apply proper trigger control and let the gun go off when the reticle is somewhere on the target - even if its not in the center.
