This long-term review of the Primary Arms SLX 3x Pegasus Micro Prism Magnifier highlights its utility beyond simple magnification. The presenter emphasizes its integrated ranging capabilities, including width and height stadia, and 10x 5 mil markings, which significantly enhance target acquisition and ballistic calculations. The review also covers its durable, flip-to-side mount with a push-button defeat system and its effectiveness in conjunction with red dot sights like EOTech.

This video provides a first look at Discovery Optics' new budget-friendly thermal cameras, showcased at Shot Show 2025. The presenter highlights two models with 256 and 640 sensor cores, emphasizing their affordability and performance for nighttime shooting, including hog hunting. Key features include multiple color modes, built-in ballistic calculations, phone app connectivity, digital zoom, and recoil rating up to .300 Win Mag. The devices are versatile, capable of being rifle-mounted or used as handheld scanners.

The Steiner ePredator riflescope integrates advanced electronics for real-time ballistic calculations. It features environmental sensors (temperature, air pressure, inclination) and a position-detecting turret. Users input ballistic data via a smartphone app, which then transmits it to the scope, allowing for automatic reticle adjustments based on range and environmental conditions.

This video explains how to use the mill relation formula for estimating range to a target using a rifle's reticle. It details the formulas for both meters and yards, emphasizing the importance of knowing the target's size in inches. The instructors also discuss various ranging tools, from high-tech laser rangefinders to traditional methods, and their pros and cons, stressing the need for backup techniques.

This guide details how to effectively shoot in windy conditions, emphasizing the use of a wind meter for accurate measurement and a simple mental formula for calculating windage adjustments. It stresses the importance of calibrating one's perception of wind speed and accounting for wind angle to achieve practical accuracy quickly, rather than perfection.

This video details a Magpul experience at High Bar Homestead in Wyoming, focusing on advanced shooting techniques and drills. Participants engaged in dynamic courses of fire involving movement, communication, and target engagement at various distances, including extreme long range up to 2,000 yards. The event highlighted the use of Magpul products and the importance of continuous learning and skill development in shooting.

This guide details Scott Satterlee's expert technique for engaging moving targets at long range, emphasizing the 'ambush' method. It covers calculating time of flight, using mnemonic devices for timing, and applying visual aids for lead estimation. The instruction highlights three distinct engagement strategies: Ambushing, Tracking, and 'Track-bushing', providing a comprehensive approach for advanced marksmen.

This guide details Todd Hodnett's 'Alternate Range Zero' technique, a practical method for zeroing precision rifles when a standard 100-meter range is inaccessible. It emphasizes using ballistic data from tools like the Kestrel 5700 Elite to achieve a precise zero at alternative distances, followed by turret adjustment. The technique is presented as a field-expedient solution, with a caution against its use at extreme ranges.

This guide details the process of engaging extreme long-range targets, culminating in a one-mile shot with the Remington MSR. It emphasizes foundational precision shooting techniques, the critical role of ballistic software and data 'truing', and the necessity of expert spotting for wind and elevation corrections. Instruction is provided by Geordie Richardson, a professional long-range instructor and club owner, highlighting advanced techniques for experienced shooters.

This guide details how to change the ballistic profile on a G7 BR2 Rangefinder. The device can store up to five distinct profiles, allowing users to quickly switch between different firearms or ammunition loads. The process involves accessing the programming menu, selecting the desired profile, and recalculating the ballistic solution, which takes approximately 15 seconds.

This video from Gunwerks provides an expert-level explanation of Minute of Angle (MOA) as a unit of angular measurement crucial for long-range ballistics. It details how MOA relates to degrees and subtends specific distances at various ranges, emphasizing its practical application in accurate shooting. The instruction is clear and structured, suitable for those looking to understand fundamental ballistic concepts.
