This makes me want to get training for my rifle and take a class like this because i just did an AR build for my birthday using a uintah precision upper making a bolt action ar15 because I wanted an ar15 that could survive an assault weapons ban sadly though I still have not finished my build yet because some parts I want just are just not in stock or where discontinued because of the pandemic but still I love what you do and want you to keep doing what you do
@@yvonvoyer5812 the assault weapon ban is because it LOOKS like an AR 15. And no, even bolt action rifles will be banned. See Australia gun laws. The only way they can own one is a lock the bolt , action and ammo separate in separate locations in their house. Sorry but your AR will still be targeted as a SNIPER rifle...... and we just caint have that in a eutopia political civilization.
What I love is people so willing to share their passion with you and how happy they were for you when you nailed the skill test. That is what it's all about.
Absolutely. Your life is your life. You can not depend on the police to be at every event at the time it is happening, so if you carry , you can defend yourself against the evil people in this world. Unfortunately here in nyc the people here are sheep for the slaughter & the political assholes love to hear people getting killed by bad guys. That way they can always say " we need to ban all guns" what a bunch of shit bags they are. Dummies it's the bad guys with ILLEGAL guns that cause all the problems, not the law abiding person, whom has to trust in the great hope that the police will get there fast, before the bad guy kills you.
“When I pick it up it feels like an extension of me.” That is the best feeling in the world. I have a Howa 1500 build that I went to a class with and about halfway through the class it all just seemed to click. Now that is my favorite gun. It feels like it is just a “if I can see it, I can hit it” kind of thing. It is an amazing feeling.
I bought a Howa 1500 Varmint supreme in 308 years ago. When I finally shot out the barrel, I used the action as a donor for my first custom rifle build. It was my favorite bolt gun then, and even more so now. Now it consists of a Howa 1500 short action, a GRS bifrost stock, a McGowen 24 inch 11 twist heavy Palma barrel (.875 at the muzzle), an area 419 hellfire match brake, and AICS compatible bottom metal.
I took a class with DI. Derek was a first class instructor. I took a friend who had never shot beyond 100 yards and Derek had him hammering steel at 1000 yards pretty quickly.
I don't have a "long range" gun yet. My Ruger AR-15 would probably be the longest shooter and I feel that way about it every time I pick it up. The weight, feel, fit...it just melds to my body and I love it. I will set my sights on a good, long shooting gun but I have a feeling that I am not meant to be the sniper type. Watching these video's is starting an itch, though!
Hey (8 yr old girl-competition shooter here) - Just wanted to say that this is pretty cool! I first started on a Precision Rifle at 6 years old and loved it! What a great way to get into shooting too!
I got my Delta 5 Pro a few months ago. I felt the frustration Colion was talking about while zeroing. Then, just the other week, I hit a steel target at 1000 yards! What a beautiful gun this is!
Long range shooting is flat out addictive and fun to boot!!!!! There is something about dinging steel at extreme distances - it's a natural high and I love it. Glad to see you enjoyed your experience and look forward to more long range videos in the future.
Great video! It’s awesome to see you come out of your comfort zone and build a new foundation from the ground up. Thank you for dropping the knowledge!
Really appreciate the video and.... welcome to precision rifle. I've been doing it for almost 50 years and I have seen your instructor shooting a match testing the EC tuner. I have shot 2-3" groups at over 900 yards in different winds multiple times just this year alone. I have several rifles capable of this but my favorite is a custom built 7 mm rem mag. I waited years to have built exactly how I wanted so I know what you mean when you say you have a relationship with your rifle. Good job on the video.
Excellent video as always. You have trained for a negative contact at close range for a while and it is eye opening to discover that if "I" engage the target further out - then my personal threat diminishes the further I can confidently engage that threat. No skill or training is un important! The further we keep the enemy at bay the safer we are! But we must posses the skills to achieve the desired outcome.
“love is knowing your target, putting them in your sights, and together achieving a singular purpose against statistically long odds” when I saw the thumbnail I immediately thought of that quote.
I love you Colion, I love your videos! I know you’re new to this game. They make great AR’s, but that bolt action needs a lot of work. I also know how the YT model works, if you’re ready to go to a full custom rig. Let me know and I can make some introductions 🎯
Despite the "news" and "politics"..... Guys like this ARE the true gun community! It's fun, helping others out, competitive and ya can meet a LOT of people from different walks of life and maybe learn to love another guys gun or a different form of shooting. Plus, it's a handy skillset when you encounter the people that should NOT own guns! Another great video and I loved "You leave training fucking hating the gun or loving it. No middle ground". I took my 2 new AR builds out yesterday with some friends, and, as usual, I'm changing parts today.
I got home yesterday from Texas and training with Derek @ DI Precision. Like Colion I know how to shoot but after working w/ Derek now I KNOW how to shoot long range. What a great experience!! We got my new custom rifle that he built, dialed in and then learned the Kestral which is a device that give you lots of info however, Derek showed me how to integrate that information with the conditions that are actually present. Derek is a fantastic instructor and one hell of a shooter and knows how to break the info down to plain speech.
FANTASTIC VIDEO. The pursuit of perfection in all things should be applauded for the effort involved. To you Colion, you have moved mountains in the 'respect meter' for engaging in something so trying and challenging. This is what life is about - pushing the limits of what's possible. Kudos to you brother.
Pure Magic! We got the A2s before our last rotation overseas. In the Philippines we had a live fire range on one of the islands. We were making 800 yard head and centermass shots with ease! heavy, longer barrel and the m885 round - it was pure pleasure. Plus, all the sight adjustments were in one spot! No messing with the front sight, then the rear. Just do all your sighting in, in one place! The Corps should've kept that one and made the recruits able to handle it instead of downsizing their rifles to fit snowflakes. Hell! Bring back the M1!
Another great video. Thanks for standing up so well for our rights. People think Tweets and angry comments on the internet are how we protect our rights. It isn't it is people like you. You are doing reviews and making money I get it but more importantly YOU are being a good steward of our sport and our Constitutional rights. Thank you.
I have owed my RPR in 6.5 Creed for about a year now. I have had to teach myself everything you discussed in this vid. I wouldn't say that I'm an expert, but I have been able hit targets out to 800 yrds. Its a good time.
Colion….. Thank you for this video. As a owner of a bolt action rifle, I agree with you points on the need to go out and fall in love with your firearm. For me the challenge is finding a good outdoor range where I can get some real one one one time with my rifle. For me that is where I need to start developing the skill set I need to say that I am one with the rifle. I have fired it only 2 times, both in an indoor range. Finding a good outdoor range for many shooters , I feel is the bigger challenge.
This has to be one of my favorite videos. Seeing you show us the exciting part of learning about precision shooting and then doing what you did on that course was outrageous and so entertaining. I have been assembling guns for myself with parts that work for me and installing adjustable triggers to set it just the way I want it to break. I still have a long ways to go, plus I would love to have a Delta 5 but not in the budget, plus I am not a competitor. Please keep up all the great things you do.
About time you got into long range precision shooting. Funny how so many people think long range shooting is mystical voodoo, but at local PRS matches we shoot out to 1,000+ yards often time from barricades and weird position these days
You are living your best life. Thank you for sharing it with us. Zeroing a rifle has always been one of my favorite parts of shooting; I hope you found it satisfying (and confidence building) God bless you sir.
I was shooting precision rifle for 10 years self taught out to 1100 yards but then I trained with Mike Mayo from rifles only nh and it was world changing
Being a PRS guy it's fun to watch to watch this video. Precision rifles is 90% of the shooting I do and it's a wildly fun and humbling sport. Glad you had good instructions
I grabbed a Howa 1500 and man that gun is sick. I have shot rifles for over 30 years plus and this thing is insanely accurate. I am looking forward to taking a class like this to get better acquainted with precision rifle shooting.
Awesome Video Colion!.. Topped Off with a Bunch of Fundamentals & Wisdom... All From Some of the Best, Extremely Talented & Knowledgeable Professional Long-Range Precision Rifle Marksmen. By the way... That Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro Precision Bolt-Action Rifle Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor is Absolute Fire!..🔥
The D5P is a great factory rifle. Custom rifle results at a factory level price. Pencil barrel is the weak point if you have to engage multiple targets quickly..
@@flyingpig7203 It's a fantastic rifle and I've yet to meet anyone who didn't love it and say it one of the best values in the factory produced precision rifles. I may have used the wrong word when I said weak. They are accurate barrels and shoot sub moa with factory match ammo. If your rifle shoots a minute or better you can compete at the highest level of PRS if you do your part. The reason I pointed out the barrel is it's light. Light barrels get hot if you string a number of shots together in a short time period. When a barrel gets hot, they tend to lose accuracy or consistency. Custom PRS rifles tend to have barrels that weigh considerably more and have contours more symmetrical the entire length of it. Pencil barrels are considerably thicker near the action and get much thinner progressively to the muzzle device. Hope that helpped explain my comment. Should have chosen my words a bit better. I can assure you, you will not find a better value than this Daniel Defense PRS Rifle. It easily shoots sub moa with factory match ammo. That alone says a ton about this rifle alone. Not too mention the chassis system is nicely done. Hope this clears things up....
@@bryanduchane2371 thanks for the explanation. Makes perfect sense. Have to admit that when I saw the length of your reply I was a little worried about the Pandora box I had opened. Lol
Fjb. I learned to shoot well in the Marines. Ended up as marksmanship instructor after shooting expert during a hurricane. Got a trip to Gunsite Ranch, and trained by Jeff Cooper and his staff. Some of the best shooters in the world.
Seeing your excitement and intense joy from putting your training and tool to the test and passing immediately made me more interested in rifles in a way I've never contemplated before. I may never be able to afford your journey, but it inspires me to make my own. Great shooting and content!! Thanks for sharing.
I too am not a precision guy but specifically wanted a Delta 5 Pro just so that I know that when I eventually get to a course to learn more, I’ll know the gun is not the problem. It’s a bad ass rifle for a good price in my opinion for what you get. Plus it’s built 2.5 hours away from me so that cool too.
I thought your SOCOM 16 video was top notch. I'm Saving for one now. But this video was off the charts and it's hard to describe everything that we saw. Congratulations on running the table on your first time up !
That was my car as a young man, 1992 honda accord dark green, with tan interior fully equip damn i miss that thing….I like that we have the same taste in guns! An cars! Keep up the great work sir!
I envy you with a smile. Wish I had this opportunity also. But in the Netherlands is 300yards the max. And Yes! PRS is awesome and sort of meditation when you go up to it. I see that in this vid also. Great job Collion! And a marvelous video this is. Hope you will run more bolt action PRS.
Bad ass! You are 100% on point with coaching and classes. When I changed my Savage Hog Hunter .308 stock to Boyd’s At One stock and Primary Arms ACSS .308 reticle scope, as well as coaching from a professional in terms of precision shooting, it completed redefined my perspective and enjoyment for precision long range shooting. BTW, awesome MotorWeek reference. Use to watch the show every week when I was in college. RIP Pat Goss. Coolest mechanic to grace PBS and MotorWeek.
Wow! Those guys at SDI are really nice and so helpful! PRS has picked up very much here in Europe, and I can understand why. DD is a brilliant piece of kit, but the shooter did his part splendidly - well done Colion Noir.
Kevin Owen's (FieldCraft Survival) long range ballistics class emphasizes the Kestrel with Applied Ballistics bullet library. Kestrel with range finder accuracy with those properly used is a game changer. BTW, I'd put my Christensen Arms carbon barrel in either 6.5CM and 300PRC up against anything Daniel Defense offers. I can say that because both of those guns have the best glass money can buy. All else equal, the best glass matters.
Come to New Mexico Colion, we can enjoy some flat land steel to 1000 yards and if you're lucky, we'll stress you out with some extreem heat or high winds.
Live in the cities and don't get much of a chance to shoot distance. We got out to a 1000 yard range today. That was fun hitting a gong at that distance. Going to have to do it again soon.
Oh I am so sorry you did this!!! Just hearing you talk about how you and the rifle had to get to know each other told me you're hooked! Nothing better than having a tool you have confidence with under stress.
Sporting Clays already holds the 'Golf for people who like shooting sports' title, IMO. I do recommend it highly. I get your point tho - thanks for the video.
After watching your excelent review, I decide to go grab a DD 5 pro. Only one I could find was in .308. Well all I can say is pictures and video definitely do not show just how sexy and overly engineered this rifle truly is, this thing is a beast.. It even lives up to the 0.50 moa guarantee. DD hit a home run with this one.
I loved long distance shooting. Now blind in one eye and pacemaker installed on my left side rifles are not in my future. Lol with they put it on the right side shotguns are even an issue. Uggh life ain’t shot but it’s a blessing as well
I love custom loading it's like a granny's knitting ppl dont really like doing it all that much but like the end product. Now I like doing it and love the end product. Keep rocking
Finally got my Delta 5 pro in 6.5 creedmore 3 weeks ago, after waiting for parts and such took it out for break in today. Only planned on sending 20, but ended up doing 40. Night and day from my rem 700 308. Group of marine infantry next to me gave it a try (felt bad because only muzzle break while waiting on a tax stamp) and they loved it. Will be looking into the class since only an hour away in Houston.
Literally just went to the range today and sighted in my new bolt gun. Ended up ringing steel consistently at 800 yards for the first time and its so satisfying. Just wish there was a longer range nearby
I recently took a Precision Rifle course at Front Sight FIrearms Institute, and it WAS AWESOME !! Truly addictive. I was able to hit a 9 inch circle at 750 yards pretty reliably ! Great video thanks !! The Kestrel is the business !! Paralax is also really difficult for me to correct !! FUN TIMES
great stuff man, shooting a perfect stage like that is no joke. I love your excitement with that bolt gun, also great to see another shooter fall in love with the game of accuracy, it is not as easy as it looks.
Excellent job. Big DD FAN..don’t baby the bolt..I was told once by a great marksmanship instructor “you’re only as good as your last shot”marksmanship school overseas your zero impact is from the prone with a much bigger round 300 Norma 338 lapua..no kestrel Was hoping to see how they teach breathing, recoil energy, scope peripheral tube vision, loading the bipods, natural point of aim etc..be glad to help.
I've nothing as this rifle. Mine is a Mossberg, 7.62 nato. After watching this video I will be searching for this type of training. Hopefully over in Santa Rosa county.
Dirt road VS the Highway . Two different rides Sir.. What's really cool??? Now you know both and there is a cross road ahead in your future and you Sir will adapt to almost any condition ahead .. Word from the wise . Take you're time and smell the flowers along the way and you'll know where you're at in the dark ..
I have a single shot 22 lr with a 3x9x40 scope and a love to paint a 4'x8' sheet of plywood with white paint and at 100 yards kill house flies that will come to the white color. I like hitting a 1/4 " socket at the same distance shot after shot. Enjoy the feeling my friend I know I do.
Now that you've got your feet wet in precision shooting, you will translate that skill set to every other type of shooting you do. And that includes shotgun. There's a school in Squim Washington you absolutely MUST attend. Chuck Dryke taught his son, Matt, to shoot. Mat went on to Olympic Gold in both Skeet and Trap. Chuck's gone now, but Mat still runs and teaches at the Sunnydale Shooting facility in Squim. Go do it! You'll love it!!!
I am PISSED i just watched a 14 minute commercial for Daniel Defense with obvious bias designed to entice the audience to purchase one of these rifles. "THANKS" @Colion Noir. I now have two on order. (Disclaimer: I do not have two on order but still enjoyed this video. Even if it was a commercial.)
I never blame the gun. If I got to a course, a couple things happen. I realize I know less than I thought, and I learn from that. I appreciate what I got and focus on getting better at making it work. I learn what I have isn't working, and figure out how to fix it (new optic? different bipod? what needs to be changed or adjusted? Am I assembling something wrong? Am I overlooking details that are important that I didn't know about?). I come away confident in my ability, learning that I am better than I think and I need to stop being so hard on myself and just do it more knowing I have what it takes if I just keep working at it. I was raised to make do, make it work, figure it out. I never blame the tool. If the tool is underperforming, then I recognize that if I had a better tool, I could do better. If I can afford a new or better tool, great. If not, then I just have to figure out how to maximize what I do have and make the most of it. Growing up we never had the money to just fix things, or buy better.
love the self defence classes, been ther, done that , for a first time is a great feeling, but im old school, 308, or 300 win mag, and now the 7mm rem mag, the military used the 308, and the sniper used the 300 win. mag, now its time for the 7mm. the gun in between, i didnt get into the creedmore 6.5, but colion practice , practice, practice. like ed otis down on the replies, come nov.
