Thank you for posting REALISTIC videos! So many only show perfect runs and it is discouraging when I try and have less than perfect results. Love your channel!
I sold my competition gun, recently. It was nice to see that boat anchor go. The buyer loved the light trigger (3 oz) with a very safe action that he couldn't get it to fail. I told him how to get around the action firing when you close the bolt with the 3 position trigger. The Winchester M70 has a safety that few others have. It is sad that most shooters only know Remington junk. The Remington safety is placed in the way when you want to fire rapidly in competition. I am now transitioning over to gas guns.
competing is the only way you know where your weak points are. everyone should record their stuff if they can. you can go over and notice things you didn't see in the moment.
Great video, as usual. Looks like you already had a lot of good drills that prepared you for the majority of the match and, after shooting the match, now have a couple more you could add. Looking forward to seeing the long term results of the integral bipod.
All of my 1000 yard wins are the result of 100 yard practice to build a shot to shot consistency in prone sling supported position. Helped me to earn the NRA American High Power Rifleman Award in Long-Range. At any rate, yes, practice at 100 yards on the NRA MR-31 Target and once you get into the 1/2 minute arena you will have the consistency to win at 1000 yards.
What's helped me is working positional shooting at 100yds. Modern day sniper has a target and the rifle Kraft target focus on that. Essentially work on getting consistent POA/POI across standing, high kneel, low kneel, sitting, prone. It's humbling to shoot a good prone group then see how my body input causes poi shift. But I was able to practice it a few times and work on each individual position and now I'm confident in shooting sub 1moa at any position.
You for sure know what’s important to good shooting, a muscularly relaxed position that is Princess & The Pea sensitive to natural point of aim. Success with it can be measured by shooting in NRA/CMP Service Rifle Division Competition. This is my observation as a competitor and CMP-USAMU Military Rifle Instructor assisting the USAMU deliver Squad Designated Marksman Training.
That’s for showing the good and bad shots! When in the kneeling position I think you could get more stable if you brought your right knee out and rested your right elbow on top of it. Hope that helps
The knelling position is of all positions the most difficult because it’s the one position where muscle of elbow is placed over bone of knee, which provides stability but prevents desired muscular relaxation. This is in contrast to standing, sitting, and prone positions which are all supported by bone thus making needed muscular relaxation possible.
Came here to say this. It's how I teach on the military side. Turn the toes of the firing side foot away from the target, more to a 90. Bring your non-firing knee up front closer to the wall (body will be bladed about 45 deg) Elbow on knee (ensure not bone-to-bone) and heel down flat to ground, driving recoil to the ground. I found our basic-level shooters almost double their scores by solidifying their kneeling position a bit better. Take-away = stay off the balls of the feet.
I'm just an average Joe.... but, I'd like to know what to stock up on for SHTF.... I'd love to see a video that compares (3) .223 barrel lengths (10.5, 16" and 18") shooting at 200 yards with 55gr fmj, 77gr otm, and 62 soft point.. It'd be nice to see what each barrel length would do at each target with each ammo.... targets would be ham shoulders.
Outstanding video! Well done! Subscribed, bell rung, commented, upvoted, liked, shared .... may the algorithm gods smile favorably upon your channel friend.
Absolutely phenomenal video bro. Ill more than likely snag one of those Griffin MK2 Ambi CONTROLS Lowers . All i use is ambi lowers . I also wanna try out Aero M4E1 New Ambi CONTROLS LOWER . M4E1 With FCD , BCM , and Geissele parts is my go too lower .. IMO BA 223W Hanson Premium Black Series and Roscoe K9 Greenline 13.9" are my 2 favorite barrels for precision work on a budget . Roscoe K9 Series is slighly better but BA comes with Pinned LPGB . Criterion Core C.L. , Centurion MIDWEIGHT HF and Noveske HF are IMO the most accurate C.L. Barrels ive ever shot . Centurion Recce and Noveske Afghan are my favorite straight up SS Barrels . Obviously Proof barrels are probably the top dogs but i prefer BA , Roscoe , Centurion or Criterion.. That Rail with built in Bipod surs does look interesting . Definitely curious to see if that has any issues after about 10 matches or so.. I do have 2 Lightweight 6ARC Uppers . Both are Faxon Match Grade Gunner Profiles which are super LW . IMO they are built for carrying all day vs shooting all day . Prefect for LW Mini Recce or Hunting application. Faxon Match Gunner is 1.5MOA barrel or at least mine are . My personal standard for shooting accuracy when it cones to barrels is being able to go 5 for 5 on 6" plate from 100 - 300Y and 10" plate from 300 - 600Y. To me thats more than accurate enough for PRS Gas Gun . My Custom Criterion 16" 6ARC Barrel is lights out accurate . There is a decent amount of PRS Matches in the South East . Especially around NC and SC Area . Also Florida has decent amount as well . I live right outside the DMV area in WV . I have access to pretty bad ass range that goes out to 1k.
Looks like you need to remove a little fill in your bag straped to your rifle. It looks a little bulky to me. Those drills are awsome i have been doing them alot from 100-300.
Very informative videos. I've learned alot and rewatched alot of the videos because there is so much info. I don't hit the notification button for any other channels except yours. Thank you sir. Question, you've hot some really high end gear, is that all private collection or do you own a gun shop or something?
You can absolutely train at the 100 yard line, but you really do need to check your drop at further distances. Training fundamentals is probably the most important aspect of shooting.
Awesome video and info! Thank you sir! On the 556 Aero upper what length of gas tube and what brand of adjustable gas block? Having difficulty dialing in my 556/223 Rock River 16 inch barrel with my Silencer Co Harvester 30 cal suppressor running subsonic ammo. Will not cycle correctly!
Can you do a video or comment on modern chronos for developing ballistic data. I’ve been looking at the Garmin Xero c1 pro chrono as the latest tech, and it seems to get favorable reviews. It would be great to see how you collect data, put into ballistics calls, and use to formulate your solutions. Love your content.
I’m just addicted on your content! During competition, do you use reticle on other distances or scrolling vertical elevation turret knob? Which is the best way for gas guns? Thanks
If you have either an MOA or mil scale reticle you can use it to range target distance on a known size target and thereafter hold on the reticle for speedy shot. Typically you would not adjust zero because it invites error. The exception is when the shooter will hold for a lot of wind.
I would sum up my thoughts by saying I would spend my own money on them. Yes my examples were provided by Arken but they have been solid and really impressed me.
I’m still out west. Just spent time visiting family back east and wanted to continue filming while I was there. I’ll be back to western based content very soon
@@MountainsMulletsMerica ah cool. I'm way down south texas... flat frying pan! the biggest test of skill is the wind here. They don't give out daily warnings unless it's over 40mph... geez there are some days it's hard to keep on a 4×8' sheet of plywood at 1000 yards.
This was super helpful! You have a great training plan here! I’m going to incorporate many of the drills. How the skills helped you in the match was great too. Please burn that striped shirt. I think it gave me a seizure.
junk. all shots are taken unsupported from kneeling or standing from cover. if you can not shoot accurately from standing unsupported, you do not qualify.
