SOCOM's new optic: Nightforce ATACR 1-8x 

I wore plaid to the range last weekend. Someone laughed. I said, "Garandthumb" and he fell to his knees. Was powerful stuff.

Craziest range story. May 10, 2012. I had just finished up chronoing some 300WM ammo on the rifle range and drove over the pistol side to shoot with a friend only to realize I hadn't brought any pistol mags. So instead, I dropped a 22 conversation bolt into my AR and fired one mag before getting bored. My buddy and I discussed where we were going for lunch and as I turned to walk to my truck, I felt what I thought was someone hitting me in the calf with a baseball bat. Long story short, I hopped around on one leg for a few seconds wondering wtf had happened, only to find out that some morbidly obese individual was shooting about 5 lanes down to our right when the plastic folding chair he was sitting in COLLAPSED, sending him onto his back where he apparently squeezed a 22LR round off that zipped straight through my right calf. Beat that!

Range story. 5 guys shooting at the line. 1 was a very loud look at me larpy guy. New shooter walk up to the line and asks to go cold to post his targets. Everyone make’s their guns safe but larpy guy didn’t open his bolt. New shooter asked him to open his bolt. Larpy guy insists there are not rounds in his rifle because the magazine is out. Larpy guy picks up his rifle somehow bumps his trigger that was not on safe and send a round flying up in the air. New shooter turned out to be a range officer and kicks the guy off the line and bans him from the range.

Had a pair of guys show up at the range shooting an AR-15 and they were having trouble hitting some jugs at about 30 yards. I made the observation that they had an A2 front sight post on a cheap AR-15 and no rear sight whatsoever. Conversation went like this. Me: "Having trouble hitting?" Them: "A little bit." Me: "Where's your rear sight?" Them: *Looks at gun* "Rear sight?"

I just realized I always watch about 3 minutes worth of video then slowly start to scroll down to the boys

If u ever considered reloading brass but then remembered you have a job.... go ahead and subscribe

I remember shooting a Glock 17 at an indoor range during the Clinton Ban (spits). I was using some 17 round ProMags (spits again). The guy in the next lane was using some Scherer 33rd magazines in his Glock. He would take one out of it's plastic bag, load it, test it, and then put it back in the bag. He had about five of them and told me he had about a dozen more at home. "I got them for only $89 apiece. I try them out once to make sure they work and then I stash them." He gave me a knowing smile. "They're only going to increase in value!" About a year later the ban sunset.

Range Story: I once saw a whole bunch of French foreign exchange students introduced to the firearm world. They were milling around safely behind a muzzle break'd .50bmg. The shockwave of flailing humanity was glorious.

As a Ninja Navy seal I too have done a couple tours. Just got done with my 3rd tour to the fridge for some hot pockets😤😤

Not a crazy story but when I turned 18 and was able to go shooting by myself Id always bring my M1 Garand and a couple of Garand safe reloads. And EVERY TIME I would have every single RSO hovering over my shoulder because they were so fascinated with the fact that someone so young was shooting a WWII battle rilfe rather than an AR15 and hitting the target at 400 yards. Great group of people btw considering most were old veterans. For those who care, Oct 1944 SA receiver, CMP walnut that I sanded off the "fat" and refinished in raw Linseed oil, and the rest of the rifle is mostly SA but it did go through a rebuild in the 50s.

Range Story: Stinger Missile live fire 1995, stinger team is tracking BAT target, they are locked on good tone....they fire, missile leaves the tube and explodes maybe 10ft above them covering them in smoke, and dust and missile parts. Not what is suppose to happen when you pull the trigger. The range goes completely silent, smoke cleared and there standing there with the launch tube in there hands in shock, luckily no one was hurt. Needless to say every team firing after that was on edge, the Army in the 90s was fun.

Range story: Got to the pistol pit with my first ever handgun, larped up in all my sunday best condor gear, strapped on my fresh mechanix's, dropped down the oakleys, popped open the case to my new g19, drove an hour and a half right back home cuz the key to the chamber lock was somewhere stupid. I get triggered now every time i see a bike lock...

So garand thumb lives in a trailer to afford cool guns and shit. The hero we deserve.

7:23 the way you run over to it just killed me. Like "omg my baby! are you okay? Daddy won't hurt you again, I promise"

They say men cant multitask, but here I am watching DaddyGarand teach while larping in full kit munching on a plate of chicken nuggies.

Daddy, dont say laser toss. Say YEET. You YEETED the rifle.

Thank you for reuploading, Dad. Hope my other dad comes back getting cigarettes soon. He's taken 9 years

I'm an optical engineer. Trust me when it comes to optics you get what you pay for. Good chromatic correction can literally double the number of lenses that need to be produced, nevermind that the high dispersion glasses needed to correct color can cost 5-15 times as much as the low dispersion glasses some low cost systems use (low dispersion glass doesn't change much with color but it does change. You need a combination of low and high if you want to really control color bleed. This is what the high end systems use and probably some aspheres which are more expensive to produce). Additional alignment procedures can have a big impact on cost as well. Well aligned commercial systems may need to be aligned to within 10-20 microns, millionths of a meter. This takes more than just dropping the glass into a tube like you would with cheap lens systems. Cheap glass and alignment may do the job well enough for what you need but you'll see a difference side by side, a big one. You'll never know the difference until you look through the systems because the mechanics, they don't change all that much on the outside.

If you've ever given a Hi-Point as a Christmas present to someone you didn't like... Go ahead and hit the subscribe button. But seriously, who here was actually hoping for the Hi-Point video?

For those of us with aging eyes, have found red dots and LPVO’s took about 20 years off my eyes. Helped bring accuracy pretty close to what it was before I had to embrace the blur. Have a Primary Arms Platinum 1x8 with ACSS reticle, nice optic, but the eye box is picky at full magnification. Very easy to lose sight picture. No problems at 1x. Have a Vortex Razor 1x4 which is great, but the ranging is useless for me, can’t make out the tick marks. May sell them and pony up for a Nightforce, Schmidt Bender, or Leupold. Crazy range story...my sister has an insanely fast trigger finger. Got the attention of some PO’s training on the range next to us once, thought we had a full auto. One of the guys thought he was faster. Bets were placed, and we finished the day with an extra $40.00.

Great review, but I don't even know anybody that can afford a Nightforce. Most of the time, we take a pair of grandpa's old round glasses and put the lenses on each end of a Coke can. The "zoom" is when we're looking through the bifocal portion. We kinda po round here.

As long as nobody touches my 10 mm auto brass, but if i shoot 50 rounds of 10 mm auto and only find 49, there will be cavity searches and dieselboarding (because waterboarding is torture and ethically wrong)

Still no Hi-Point video

So i went out to the desert one day to do some shooting and i'm just getting my gear together and all of the sudden this dude drives up to the same spot in his mini van. We're the only two people out there and i'm loading up a couple mags and this guy gets out of his rolling tamp on wearing cargo shorts and a polo shirt. I'm there just low key dying inside as i watch this goober pull an M249 out of his lift gate and then straight away begin to mag dump full auto for what feels like a full minute into the hillside. After the belt runs out he turns to put the SAW back into his van and sees me with my mouth gaping. He quickly chucks that lmg into his weather tech lined trunk and speeds off down the dirt road he came in on, but not before flipping off the hillside and primally yelling at it. I haven't gone back to that desert spot to this day.

So there I was training for a deployment when a brand new pilot dropped us off in the wrong location. When we went to step off the first thing you see is a bomb the size of a man sticking out of the ground. I look to SSgt said are you sure were in the right place? LT said let’s go this way. Aye aye sir! After about walking for 15 minutes through what I imagine Armageddon will look like artillery starts dropping maybe 300 yards away. You could feel the oh shit we are not supposed to be here coursing through every bodies veins. Did a 180 and ran for about 3 miles back through Armageddon and called for evac. Turns out the officers that day forgot their morning ration of crayons.

I only take steel case ammo to the range just to piss the brass hounds off!

$2800 optic? Make next vid "tips for dating a Victoria's Secret model". Would be equally as useful.

A story from a guy I know who was an Army officer in the 80s: They were sitting there in the chow line on some base when one of the guys in front of him drops. He got shot. From where? A .50 cal that came through the roof. They traced it back to the range where some goober had decided to try and shoot a ranging balloon. The safety had immediately stopped him, but apparently not immediately enough.

Went to a Maryland State Park range. Nobody there except one dude at the pistol line, watched him from about 40 yards away... Early 20s, wearing some kind of "Highlander" trenchcoat and hat. Walking the line, every few paces he'd turn and shoot. Into the berm, no targets set up. I got right back in the car and got an early lunch. He wasn't there an hour later.

I know this video is old and I doubt Garand is still reading comments. But he should give this a second look now that the ATACR 1-8 has the updated DMx Reticle. Very well-thought-out reticle.

My worst range experience and why I hate public ranges: I had been in my outdoor stall for about 3 hours breaking in a new build when the stall next to me filled up with about 6 guys. Now I'm 23 and these guys seemed to be about my age. They were all nerdy/virgin types and none of them had ever shot a gun. They had brought Ak's and Ar's. After every shot the ring leader kept sweeping me with the loaded rifle. After the 3rd time he did so I told him if he did it again I'd rip the gun out of his hands and beat him with it. After about 2 minutes I just left the range.

Flannel dad: “Cheaper optics like the ones under 6-700” Me: cries looking at my strike eagle that broke my bank*

10 inches long and 30 millimeters in girth... Just like Daddy.

great review; need one for a review now !

*For any public range, indoor or outdoor, I'm up with the sun and there right at opening time. My experience has been the later the hour gets, the higher the adam-henry index climbs.;)*

As a pistol range Instructor in my Beloved Corps, I was in the firing line during the transition from the 1911 to the Berreta 9mm, when the slides were flying off of the 9mm while shooting.

YAY IM STILL ON THE TOULET FROM THE FIRST TIME YOU UPLOADED THIS

Crazy range story! Once upon a rage day in california, shooting at 600 yards, I see this father bring his kid to shoot rifles. Cool thing to see. The father pulls out a 308 and sets it up, then I see the kid (7-8 ish) about to shoot it and I notice he doesn't have any ear pro! I run up and point it out to the father.... who doesn't have any ear pro too.... I had to give them spare ear plugs. Thats one of my biggest WTF moments.

Training in the USMC, with blanks and BFAs. We were right next to I90 down in Camp Pen. My squad was on and admin movement around the CP. Apparently there was a mix-up at the armory, and some saw gunner was apparently test firing his gun, with what he thought were blanks, before the exercise we were about to go on and sent a volley of tracer fire about 40ft over my squads head; and right over the windshield of some civilians driving southbound on I90 between San Clemente and O-Side! Holy Shit!? I'll never forget that shit. The best part of that is the whole company got to listen to his Platoon Sgt. Yell at him and rip him a new one for about 2 minutes of so.. some interesting questions were asked of that Marine, like do you know the (expletive) difference between blank and live rounds? He was asked if he was sure several times? I don't think his platoon Sgt. Was convinced...There was some speculation about the Marines general intelligence and perhaps a accusation of an in appropriate relationship the gunner may or may not have had with his own Mother; this was brought up several several times as the Marine tried to explain his mistake.... Then the whole company had to find the BFA that was shot off the end of the saw.... so... a company of Marines along I90 searching for a BFA that was shot off the saw at night.. searching with white light.. We found the BFA, it was all fucked up.

My first range day with my duty platoon, I drew a heavily used M16A3. Went to the zero range and fired multiple quarter-inch groups. Ran out of sight traverse after just managing to get the groups on-paper. The section sergeant had three other people fire the rifle, with similar results. Turned the rifle back in at the end of the day and had the armorer check it. The barrel was bent.

I watched this video taking a dump at 6:45 this morning and after my run I come back to find it re-uploaded as I'm taking my post-run dump... The dump gods are with GT today

Had a guy at the gun club last week 2 benches down from me. Guy was knee deep in his own brass. Every shot mumblin over his breath. Nice gucci ar with atacr 1-8. He had scope mounted 90° in wrong direction... I was kind enough to remount his scope and have it zeroed in 4 shots. He must have shot 200 rounds, dialin turrets like a dj spinning records in 1989

Jokes on them! They can have fun picking up my dented and messed up casings from 40 feet away when my HK 91 clone is done with them.

My range story... I live in Pennsylvania and a few years back I was a member at a range on the border of New Jersey, so half the members are New Jersey residents. I go to the pistol line and behind me are a bunch of kids who are from New Jersey, they see me lay out all the pistols I brought and they stared at me like I had 10 heads. I also had good experiences like sharing my 30 round magazines with NJ residents. I am no longer a member of the range, not because the place is bad, other than being packed on weekends but I was always creeped out about being one exit away from NJ with all the firearms, ammo and magazines being loaded in my car. Being one detour away from multiple felonies never jived with me, it was a shame too since the pistol/rifle range was a few miles from SARCO and another firearm place that had an indoor range which rents machine guns. I also had one trip to this range where I took my best friend and his girlfriend at the time shooting, he is from NYC and was joking around, some old hats that looked like FUDDS were talking behind our backs while I was at the firing line trying to show him how to operate the weapons. His girlfriend heard it all and relayed it to me, they talked shit about my friend being an idiot and not trusting me because I had a shit load of AR and AK pattern rifles with me saying "Who needs that". When we came by they acted all friendly though. They came from cars with NJ license plates...

Last words of wisdom came, thank you daddy. Craziest range story: some LE guys thought they were cool and brought a flash bang to the locals spot to shoot. Flash Bang ended up landing at there feet somehow. All I saw was a blast and rifles flying everywhere in a panic and some not cool cops falling all over themselves in a panic.

Daddy Garand, can you please do a video on a PSA rifle for us poor wanna be operators that can't afford your delectable Gucci gear?

Why do I even watch all of these? I can’t afford any of this stuff anyway

Went above and beyond at my job to show my appreciation to a LEO. We talked and became buddies as that always helps to be able to throw a name around if you’re about to get a ticket. Turned out he was the re qualifier instructor and works out of a top notch sheriffs training center. He invited me out on a slow day for him. He was doing inventory to order training ammo so he let me go to town. Full auto MP5’s. All the way up to their .50 Barrett. No charge on anything nor would he take my money. To keep him from maybe getting into hot water I’ll leave where I live out of this, but it’s one of the richest areas in the nation and I couldn’t buy my way into a training facility of this class. Indoor/outdoor with drill areas made to look like real scenarios and many of them with automated pop up/out bad guys and civilians of course to make it real. Went back out to help him with his fishing boat over one weekend to thank him as I probably went through 4000 rounds in his shift. Now I’m getting all my gear at LEO cost. But the funny thing of this story is when I met him if I had to guess his profession as I woke him at 11am. I would have bet he was a drug dealer any day of the week over law enforcement. It blew my mind. But gave us something to talk about and in the end we both got a lot of knowledge out of the experience. The huge discount n free ammo was all my gain tho. Keep up the great videos. My wife is even coming around to not hating you on the big screen. A lot of tough decisions have been made a lot easier or clearer from watching your review videos. Keep keeping it real G... Semper Fi.

“Edge to edge clarity so good you can see into the future...” -Garand Thumb (paraphrased) Love it.

I wish daddy flannel threw me around like that

Oh man, still laughing about the aggressive brass policer's. Always a great "while your down there" opportunity.

I was at the range about 8 years ago or so and it was a busy day. pretty much every bench was full. After about 3 or 4 cycles of the range going from hot to cold for target service and what not, we were on a hot cycle with everyone sending rounds down range. About half way through, a kid in his early twenties or so, gets up and starts heading down range to tape up his target. He made it about ten yards before everyone on the 50 yard line started screaming "Hey!!", "Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Craziest thing I ever saw at the range was in basic. Someone forgot to take of their blank firing adapter before shooting live ammo. It didn't blow off completely after the first round, and it ended up deflecting several rounds across the firing line.

I’m going to continue to say this, this man looks like the BF4 support

Ah, here I am again, watching a review on an optic I can never afford

Just stumbled across your content...it's hard to find people that are unbiased and honest...nice work great content

Guy was using some old surplus tracer ammunition at an indoor range, and as you'd expect the range cought fire.... Jackass got us kicked off the range right after I got set up. Fun day...

If you ever fought side by side with Lucas Botkin during the battle of card board targets....go ahead and subscribe.

Throw it down 2 mountains, and pick it up and start shooting. Call it the Lone Survivor test. If it can pass that it's solid.

I'm gonna buy this optic with my mom's credit card just in case a rival airsofter is holding my love pillow hostage at 1000 yards

An old timer pulled up and got out of his car while I was testing my new upper I just built. He had no ppe. He told me that when I was a glisten in my daddy’s eye, he was in Grenada with a 10” barreled M14. It couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn because the barrel was too short. He then said that my 14.5” (pinned & welded brake to meet 16”) faxon barreled ar15 upper couldn’t hit the target @50 yards. He sat in a chair behind me and waited (no ppe 😂). I shot the best dang dime sized group I was capable of @50 and showed it to him. He looked upset and just left. 😂 😂 😂 He hasn’t spoken to me in the years that I have seen him since. #MAFudd #MusketsWithTriggerLocks

At an outdoor range/club. I was a member. It was a rainy day, but the firing lines there are covered. It's a very nice facility. But like I said, it was a rainy day. I brought along a few pistols to shoot that day. One was a Colt 1911. I had a target set up at about ... I dunno ... 25 feet, max. I stapled a few targets to the stand so I wouldn't have to walk out in the rain as much to change targets. Sooooo.... the lowest target was actually pretty close to the ground/grass. And there was a low, grass covered berm 5 or 10 feet behind my target stand. The berm was just 8~10 inches tall. So I'm standing there shooting. Everything is perfectly normal. But eventually I fire at the low target. I get part-way through a mag and I see something fly back at me. It hit me in the chest. Not really hard, but hard enough to be like WTF DUDE?!?! I put the Colt down on the bench and ... Holy Crap! There's a FMJ .45 slug sitting there on the bench! Not deformed at all, just had the shine knocked of of it LMAO! I carried that thing around in my pocket for months. Story #2 In the Army at NTC Ft Irwin. I was posted there right after AIT at Benning. So they sent a bunch of us to work the on the Live Fire Range (actually an entire desert valley). Driving Sheridans for NCO's & O's. My first rotation out and we're way out front with the visiting Scouts. Forward screening line, right? Night time. Contact is expected tonight. The Scouts begin to report movement down range. The Scout Platoon Leader calls in Arty. It is short. Very short. Rocks and sand and shit was landing ON MY TRACK. We actually had to button up LMAO Story #3 Also at NTC on the Live Fire Range. Also at night. Out with the Scouts again too. It's a quiet night in the desert, no contact expected this evening. Buuuttt ..... the Scouts report WHITE HEAD LIGHTS approaching from opposite their position. WTF? In a training/tactical situation, white lights means someone is in real trouble. So the Major I was driving for gets on the net to report. In a few seconds the scenario is called for that evening. There actually IS a vehicle moving slowly across the desert floor, towards the Scout screen line with it's white headlights on. In response, EVERY vehicle out in the desert that night cranks up and switches on THEIR white lights (an entire battalion). Every Scout track, a few forward M1's and every Controller track heads off to intercept the incoming vehicle in order to render assistance. Upon seeing so many lights come on - nearly simultaneously - all across the desert floor, and some beginning to close in on them, the incoming vehicle stopped moving. It took me a few minutes to get us over there. We were a couple miles away on the opposite side of the valley. Other vehicles arrived quicker. What a sight is was when we rolled up .... Sheridans, Brads & Abrams parked together, but all scattered around kinda crazy, lights on ... folks all milling around in the now dusty night air ... laughing ... and an elderly couple in a Winnebago. Yeah, they wandered on post from the north east boundary somewhere. Said they were looking for Death Valley. They almost got the death part.

Everytime I click on Garand's video, I am still amazed by how he fights and how efficient and proficient he is with his weapon, even after 2 years of subscription.

Crazy range story. Was shooting out in the desert and heard a guy with a group near me saying he didn't like shooting his ar, as it hurt a lot. Looked over and noticed he was using Kleenex as ear pro....and wouldn't take electronic ear muffs when I offered them :O

The craziest thing that I've experienced is going to the range and having someone set up a huge steel target on the pistol range. It was more like a massive Chinese gong. At least 40". It was at that moment that I decided I'd had enough for the day.

Never seen anyone collect brass that aggressively. Most I've seen is people asking if I kept my brass and, if not, if they could have it. Very polite lol. Craziest range story...well, again, nothing too crazy on my end. A friend from out of town was visiting and we both wanted to go to the range so he could show me some drills and such he'd learned. It was raining an unusual amount, though. Nothing real heavy, just a steady rain. We both decided to go on anyways because 1) real life situations will not have ideal conditions, and 2) it added a bit of an unexpected hitch! By the time we were done, we were both soaked to the bone but it was fun!

Socom? More like... "go, home, mom".

This is literally my dream optic 😍😍 Love the video on it! Definitely some good insight about a really cool optic. Hope to see more of it!

I shat myself when you jumped up and threw your rifle on the ground like a psychopath...is everything alright at home man??

Craziest range story. A couple of years ago I had just bought my first handgun, a XD9 mod 2 subcompact don't hate, and was practicing some basic drills at my local indoor range when an older man came in with who I would assume his wife. After going over some safety stuff he handed her his LCP. She fired a couple of rounds and on I believe the third shot the slide with barrel decided that they wanted to be bullets too and flew off the gun and landed a couple of feet down the lane. Had to get the RO to come and retrieve the departed half of the gun and the owner remarked that he would be selling it asap. Needless to say I am never buying an LCP.

Drinking game: shot every time he gently taps the top turret.

Wild range story, I was finishing the last week of coaches course in Quantico. We were bird dogging coaches and PMI's at the pistol range. The marine on target point 24, some how managed to hit the top of the berm. Mind you the top of the berm is about 20-25 feet high. Allegedly this was not the first time the marine was on the pistol range. This feat repeated multiple times until a PMI (who was fresh from the drill field) came over and started to correct the marine. For those unaware, the PMI's wear campaign covers exactly like our drill instructors.

The ATACR, CQBSS, and Schmidt & Bender are the pinnacles of LPVO's.

I have this on my AR10 and it is so great. It just does what I need with amazing glass and love the reticle. Who else yeets a frickin ATACR? It hurt my soul and made me happy at the same time

Can we get like a 30min montage of you just shooting?

I sighted in a new Saint for my friend at 19 meters; that's all the distance we had at our local range. I made my adjustment and put 3 more down range and we were ready to put him behind the rifle and within a few shots he miraculously shot the bracket off the ceiling track and came crashing to the cement floor with a sound uncharacteristic for an indoor range. Range master shut that side down repaired the track and we left- good times. We promptly joined an outdoor range and faired much better.

Two videos in one day!

God dammit, that shit eating grin under NV at 4:07 gets me every single time...

I was afraid daddy abandoned us but then the video showed up again now I can enjoy my day.

Thanks for this review on a great intermediate range scope with world class durability. I use a Horus H59 reticle for competition in my Bushnell ERS 2.5 - 21 x 50 scope and that's why the NF 1 - 8 ATACR reticle is just fine with me. Doesn't feel "busy" at all. Use it and you will "learn it". Also a reticle I use similar to the ATACR 1 - 8 is the G3 small "Xmas tree" reticle in my Bushnell LRTS 4.5 - 18 x 44 long range hunting scope. Like the ATACR reticle, it too is illuminated however every line and hash mark is lit perfectly.

He's right, you know. Socks betrayal. Worst range story: Was shooting at a range in the woods in hillbilly town in MN. Some city kids came up and started shooting at random things in the dirt....while I was down range. Was a short heated conversation.

Love this Nightforce Optic but the price of $2800.00 is out of my range.

Dude no homo, your intro montages always give me a chub.

I remember, when I was still in high school, a couple of my friends were over at my house shooting clay pigeons. We sadly only had that little stick that’s made to throw the pigeons. Well one of my friends is up so he grabs the Mossberg 500 from me and walks to the range. Well my Dad throws a couple good ones out into the field. He goes to throw the next one so my friend can shoot the pigeon but instead of it going forward and into the air it goes straight up. My friend doesn’t miss a beat and aims the shotgun right at the pigeon (and hits it). My Dad meanwhile noticed that he had done this and dived to the ground to avoid being shot.

Poop squad reporting for duty!

EVERY time he says "phenominal" take a shot. Great drinking game guaranteed to get you plastered.

Did you change how you EQd your audio? The gunshots sound way more punchy. Me gusta...

The muzzle report in this video is intense I love it

I remember when one guy started grabbing my bud's 408 cheytac brass... there was one hell of a yelling match for a minute. It ended though with the dufus being like " I thought is was 338 lap", which is what he was shooting...

The sear on One of my buddies AR pistols broke while we were at the range and the gun went into full semi fun mode unexpectedly. It was pretty cool!

I’m also eating Dino nuggets while watching this

Range Story: I was in an underground 100yd range (basically a big tube with concrete walls and ceiling). A dude comes down with a brand new Daniel Defense AR of some sort, loads it up, and starts banging away. I notice his rounds are impacting the ceiling and sparking, when something stings my cheek. Sure enough, a bullet fragment ricocheted back, hit me in the face, and drew some blood. At that point, both the RSO and I yelled for him to stop. We checked out his rifle and he had absolutely no sights on it what-so-ever. We asked him what he was aiming with and no shit his answer was, "The gun was so expensive I couldn't afford any. I figured I'd shoot it a bit and get a scope for next time..." RSO and I tried our best not to blow up on a newbie but directed him back to the shop to pic up some irons. I immediately left the range and haven't gone back there since. Also a huge fail on the RSO for not paying attention to the status of weapons on the range.

Heard “zing” “zing” and thought it sounded like I was in the path of a few rounds. Heard it again and we ducked. Had to crouch run over a berm to find a dude with these chicks shooting a rifle right towards us. At least he was kind enough to leave after lying about where he was “aiming.”

Rodriquez Range in the early 80’s. The Koreans would run out on the Scouts range and pick up the brass. It was really bad when we were shooting moving targets from our M113s while maneuvering.

Please make a video about reputable places to get training! I dont really know how to decide whos worth spending money on and learning from. It would be really nice to have more recommendations from somebody that knows the industry.

“Is this your life” I swear you’re my long lost friend back from beyond. I recently found your Chanel and your recommendations are basically what I have already. Across all your videos. Wish I could meet you 😅

You should review the Trijicon Acupower 1-8x34

I watch every one of your videos you've taught me techniques you've taught me ways to pack my gear we need people like you I mean this is I tell all my friends

Here for the hi-point video

The perfect optic. The best of both worlds. Would have loved this back in the day. New Sub.
