Snipers & Precision Shooters | A Simple Trick You Need to Know 

We've always known they're secretive and quiet, but it's true that these Canadians take their shooting very seriously. Interesting getting a rare insight and learning some of their tricks. The Taliban learned the hard way I'm sure.

This is definitely effective. I disconnect my sling from buttstock, wrap it a few times around tripod leg. Crank and release as needed for recoil control and target acquisition. Most of us have a sling on hand.

In the movie, "Day of the Jackal - Melons" at 1:26 the actor does pretty much the same thing. It's not a new concept, but not a bad tip after all. As long as the cord is not wrapped around the barrel, it does very well. Thanks for your service and for staying ready.

If you heard the shot, you weren't the target. MUCH RESPECT!!!!!!

The volume of hate coming from gamers, internet children and lesser men who feel emotional inferior and personally inadequate is laughable. Clearly, most didn't read the subtitles and if they did, its shameful they possess the audacity to slander a Canadian sniper/Armed Forces veteran along with his police marksman colleague. Thank you for your service and taking time out of your schedules to have some fun and share a few tips from one veteran to another. To the uninformed, yes, this is 100% legal in Canada and we can possess 99% of manufactured firearms minus fully automatic and some other prohibited class firearms. This includes all forms of AR-15 platforms, pistols and long range precision arms. Contrary to popular understanding, Canada has one of the highest firearms rates per capita statistically. Cheers, keep the beer cold.

You can also run cord to your bipod from your belt and it will help you load your bipod in areas where the ground isn’t helping. I will be trying this out. Also check out billy bags, a friend of mine makes ultra lite ultra durable bags

Oh wow just watching that first shot, dam.... somebody give whoever figured that out a medal... you guys are awesome! I mean that sincerely just flat out awesome

I use something similar when shooting off sticks (by which I mean a pair of 5ft 10" sticks) and I have a 7mm cord which I trap under my foot. You can then press forward on the sticks which gives you a much firmer rest. Most of my deer shooting is done in woodland or crops and a bi-pod would not cut the mustard, you need a longer pair of sticks. Although I will admit I have just started using a lightweight pair of quad sticks which are awesome.

I just love the Sound of Contact. I ALSO LOVE TO HEAR THAT'S A HIT.

would have been better if Bubs ,Juliane and Ricky did the vid....shopping cart assisted tripod.

I love being Canadian. Awesome info and tips. Thanks gents. Giver!

A very neat trick, I'd love to give it a try myself. Love what you're doing GN keep up the good work

Dude that is the slickest shit I have ever seen. From an old copper. Thanks for sharing.

Great ingenuity. Very simple yet intelligent modification using just rope and if you have one, a carabiner or clip. Thanks for the tips. Also, thanks for your services to keeping people safe. Much respect. Peace. S

Oh Canada!!! My homeland and always will be... even when I'm far... far... away. Great work, and thanks for sharing, Gents! I'll put this to use next time I'm on the long gun.

good tip. Necessity is the mother of invention, keep up the good work

The concept they came up with here seems similar to using the coat and sling on my competition rifle. So if it is as stable as that (if not more), I can assure people that it would be an EXTREMELY stable shooting position and in this situation, you'd have a wider range of movement because when I shoot using the sling it is normally in prone position and sometimes in kneeling position.

I see usmc snipers use slings the same way. It attaches to the rifle, goes under the tripod and then attaches to their belt. Nice video. Can you please tell me what you have on your spotting scope? It looks like a soft case with rails and allows it to be upside down. Thanks.

I like this technique with the SS Loop Hole sling from Shadow Tech (HOG saddle inventor). Either clip in to waist or candy cane on tripod leg...very similar. good stuff!

Excellent tip for recoil management, the less recoil you have the more relaxed the shooter is during shot release when firing large calibre ammunition. Also a great terminology....."how does it feel"?

shooting down hill totally changes trajectory!!

just love bolt action rifle.. always have always will.. just something about them..

I did not see the first video in this series. I hope it covered need to adjust elevation from slope distance to flat ground distance.

loving the long range marksmanship stuff guys, keep on'!

Simple and virtually no cost. I mean what shooter/ hunter doesn’t have some good rope and an old carabiner?? Totally bad ass. When the gun goes off there was virtually no upward kick from recoil. Very nice guys. Much appreciated. Great tip can’t wait to try it.

Awesome! I know that they said that the barrel of should not be touched by the cord, so this would eliminate this set up for a great many rifles. However, you could apply the same tactic by tying off on the forward sling, bipod mount, maybe? I shoot only air guns, no powder, but I intend on using this technique. Thanks!

Cosine of A (Angle you're shooting at) x Line of sight distance = modified dope So for this video... (Assuming we're measuring in meters) Cos(45 degrees) x 1106 meters = dope your scope for 782 meters for the 1106 meter shot. Probably should leave that here for a video expressing high angle shooting. When shooting at a high angle, either upwards or downwards, you will miss high every time unless you calculate your modified distance.

Great video and improvisation! Nice to see some UK kit getting around...I spy a MTP Sniper Smock and MTP V1 smock mixed in with some multicam. Nice kit!!

just started reading hyena road and the sniper Dets callsign is 66 also the PGW rifles are made in Winnipeg and I'm looking to get one

so cool, really everyone's dream weapon

He did kinda mention several improvements. Very creative. I know I'll use it. Thanks Nate. What a good soldier! He's on my friends list on Facebook.

Dude that rifle , the action look like it wanted to slide out when he ejected the spent round, and it look like chassis is contoured for his thumb to have a home to rest on. I can see this is a very well thought out system 🤙🏼

Much love for the 66 assets from the Tango c/s, keep up the good work

what the beautiful sound created by this Sniper (5:45 & 6:12 IN video) much smoother than SVD and anti material weapons like 50 Cal.

Absolutly professionals!

Out on the west coast this summer eh boys? Brutal smoke. Had a couple days where she looked like the world was coming to an end. I'm gonna have to give this a go. Fuckin genius.

Great video with excellent information presented. While I don't profess to be a superb shooter like you gentlemen are, I've done ok in years past and have even competed with the FCSA using my .50 BMG rifle. Never in the contention for the Big Brass Ring as I never had the $$ for the top of the line gear, but I did spend for quality glass and had a quality Fedderson barrel set up for my rifle and did manage a "Screamer patch (less than 1" moa @ 1,000 yards) with my AR50 in pretty much stock condition except for the barrel as mentioned. Internal politics within the organization told me I didn't want to play with the Prima Dona's and I've always wanted and preferred to compete against myself, bettering myself with each outing. Plaques and accolades only pump up YOUR chest and clutter your office. Well, you do get free goodies from the Name Brand shops to promote their gear, too, and that helps. But as I said, I was in it to hone MY skills for long range shooting which helped in my hunting endeavors. Ok. Enough about me. I'd like to know what tripods you were using for the rifle and spotting scope along with brand/model/etc. scope if you'd be so kind to tell me. I'd LOVE to get into the Long Range shooting skills you guys possess just because, but I'm limited in the very long range since my larger calibers consist of just my BMG rifle and a pretty much stock Remington 700 Sendero in .300 WM. Both are topped with NightForce glass and my .300 WM loads will keep me just over 3/8" 5-shot group at 200 yards with my hand loads using a 180 grain SGK BT, the same projo I use for hunting in the WM and my .30-06. Both have taken Mule Deer and elk at extended ranges without any issues. So I figure, why mess with success, right? I've tried up to 190 grain BTHP match projo's in the WM but man, they went all over the paper even at 100 yards. I'm talking 3-5 inch groups! But the 180 projo's just happened to sing in both calibers and rifles so I've stuck with what works. Ok, this has gone on longer than I planned so I'll sign off. Thanks for the video again and if you'd please answer my original questions, I'd be much appreciative.

That's awesome.

Good idea using a counter balance that helps with the kick

thank you for a good video i like the way you guys improvise in the field as a professional hunter from south africa you guys provide a great learning experience good stuff

Aside from my work, this is a great concept for hunting/shooting from distance!

I love improvisation, most of my paintball guns like my masterkey and gear are improvised or modified from scraps or junk people would normally throw away. Post more.:)

My Grandpa used to do this sometimes when he was hunting. Allowed him to get more easily nice and clean sub-occipital hits on deer. It wasn't something over-the-top, but still this method made it easier.

I just stumbled across this video. That’s a very informative and helpful tip. Where were you guys at way back when during my 12 years of service in the U.S. Army(lol)? I’m guessing that the rifle being used in the video is either a .300 WinMag or a.338 Lapua. It’s definitely not a .50 BMG, or else you’d have it supported with a boulder. Great video though. I could hear the 2 impact reports of both rounds fired, those were some loud reports. Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to try it when I’m hunting deer and coyotes.

Great tip. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Great Video guys !!!!

Understanding these are LEOs, would love to have seen a quick exfill drill toward the end of this. I come at this from a combat perspective.

k.i.s.s.,,,you prove the saying ,,great application of controlled recoil guys ,,,bring us more,,an play safe

Nice rig for stabilising long range shots in rugged rocky terain, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!

Bloody fantastic! What a simple but genius idea...

As always Canadian, American and other Brothers working together. Great tip. Good work!!! I don't use a chassis so I'll experiment over the scope ring. Or maybe try some kind of bridge from the forestock so I don't make purchase on the barrel. BTW 66 was a great year... Oooh Raw!!!

Thank You guys, very nice trick!

Hmm, nice Schmidt & Bender scope you have on that rifle.

Very interesting! Using a bit of rope to stabilize the weapon on a tripod... I had never considered that.

neat concept

I prefer using a shooting stick under the stock, directly under your cheek and pinning it down. The rifle will smoothly recoil backwards. very accurate for 1200 yard shots

That guy with the ear muffles is so loud! I CAN'T CONTROL THE VOLUME OF MY VOICE!! Great video and thank you for the tips gentlemen.

perfect opportunity for a "SEND ITTTTT" quote. that woulda made my day

Are you shooting the .300win-mag or the .338Lapua? Also, are you using a simple mil-dot, Horus, a TreMor reticle?

Nice work, going to try it looks like for me will work great.Always nice to get first hand info from professionals. thanks.

Great trick for sure. I will keep it in mind. Please tell me about the spotting scope.

Nice lock down tip.

That is just an amazing idea. Why do rifles kick left? Is is the rifling in barrel??? Ive been trying to come up with something to help mitigate recoil on my tripod but thought it was a stupid idea. After seeing this, I dont feel so silly. Grateful to see this post.

'Tell us a little bit aboot"...

that's a cool trick, thanks for sharing.

Thank you! Marksman.

Nice & simple but very effective!!

Cool, same concept as using a shooting sling,but modified for a tripod.

A smart solution!!!

Sweet footage, Im just a little jelly about the locations you guys are able to shoot in over in North America, wish i had access some places like that to shoot here in Ireland.

one of the best intros ever seen and excellent tips

Nice hack, Guys!!! Shared with All my Brothers!

Canadian snipers fuck yea

Great stuff. Thanks guys.

Love the video, I am ret. ARMY 82nd airborne I’d love to come out with you guys and do some shooting..

Don't really like the idea of strapping it to your body but attaching it to the stock is pretty slick

Great video. Simple solutions are alwsts the best.

this is the same principle as looping the rifle sling around your arm for stability that has been used for a very long time ;) :)

Yeah Alberta!!!!

Wonder how well that would work with a slug barreled shotty for deer season.Looks great Gentlemen keep up the work. Thanks for sharing.

That’s cool. I like the simplicity.

Read a nice article on internet about forend control. How shooters have moved to have left hand at rear of rifle. And not touching forend. Which needs to be cotrolled during firing. A technique the old timers used. And how handy a sling is to help control forend jump. Was just thinking now seeing this tip. That if there was a sling how it also would have done similar on this tripod. But nice tip. Canadians are just brilliant long range shooters. Check out their new world record sniper shot 3450m.

Learn something new everyday. 👍👍

I normally don't comment. I think it is very clever. Necessity is often the mother of invention. Otherwise if it works use it.

Good shit. I've seen and used something similar for the purpose of stability but this is pretty sweet.

awesome video guys , great idea .

nice idea but as a sharpshooter I wanna be tactical so that's a bit hard for me

that's actually extremely smart lol

Man that would be amazing to shoot that gun in that environment! Definitely jealous

Liked and subscribed, looking forward to learning more from you guys as I progress into precision shooting

What tripods are you using and rifle mounts, optic pan head is that that you guys are using? I like the video keep up the good work.

Seems good but Wouldn’t it affect your aim if it’s moving the gun even slightly? Obviously not since they use it but physically how not is it moving the aim around

Brilliant. Making one…

I want to come shooting with you guys, where this is at looks amazing

nice, cool to see firearms videos from home province of Alberta.

Excellent video.

Thats fantastic! Gonna borrow that ;) thanks!

Truly a really cool video. This makes me want to go into the Army and be a sniper.

It's the little things, great info

Those dude have the coolest videos
