They detail successful hunts for elk, mule deer, and antelope, emphasizing the importance of gear confidence, analytical approaches, and adapting to field conditions. The conversation also touches on advanced techniques like wind calling, tripod shooting, and the use of rangefinding binoculars, highlighting practical applications for hunters.

This guide details advanced whitetail hunting techniques using the Thompson/Center Encore rifle in Kansas. Instruction from experienced hunters covers range preparation, strategic blind placement, wind analysis, and precise shot execution on mature bucks. The content emphasizes understanding deer travel corridors and utilizing specialized gear like suppressed rifles and quality ammunition for successful hunts.

This video tests the accuracy of the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact by conducting a series of slow-fire grouping exercises at 10 and 25 meters. The instructor utilizes a Holosun 507 Comp optic and emphasizes standing unsupported firing positions to simulate real-world scenarios. The results suggest the M&P 2.0 is as accurate as its competitors, with flyers attributed to shooter error rather than the firearm itself.

This guide details the analysis of a rifle used in a shooting incident involving Charlie Kirk. It covers identifying calibers by sound, assessing shot distances, comparing rifle models like the Mauser, Weatherby Vanguard, and Thompson Center, and understanding concepts like cold bore shots to evaluate shooter skill.

This video features a hunter demonstrating a long-distance shot with his Savage 110 Ultralite rifle. The hunter claims ethical hunting capabilities up to 650 yards, which is then put to the test at the Backfire Range. The challenge involves a single cold bore shot at a vital zone on a deer target at 650 yards, which the hunter successfully makes, validating his claim.

This expert guide details how to test the impact of a suppressor on rifle accuracy. It covers methodology for 100 and 200-yard tests, emphasizing the importance of observing point of impact shifts and maintaining group sizes. The instruction highlights that while suppressors may not inherently increase accuracy, they significantly improve the shooting experience by reducing recoil and noise, though re-zeroing is often necessary.

This video details a challenge to a hunter's claimed 800-yard accuracy with a Springfield 2020 Waypoint rifle. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, emphasizes the importance of a single 'cold bore' shot to prove long-distance capabilities. The attempt highlights the difficulty of achieving extreme accuracy under pressure, with the shot missing the vital zone.

This video demonstrates the impressive long-range capabilities of a custom .300 Norma AI rifle. Expert shooter Mark Denney showcases the rifle's accuracy by making cold bore shots at 600, 800, and 1,000 yards. The build features high-end components like a Defiance action, Brux barrel, McMillan A5 stock, and a Nightforce ATACR scope, paired with Berger 245 Hybrid ammunition.

This video details a challenge to a hunter's claimed ethical long-distance shooting capability at 600 yards. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise in ethical hunting distances and cold bore shots, oversees a one-shot test. The hunter successfully hits a deer-shaped steel target but not in the vital zone, raising questions about the ethics of such extreme range engagements.

This review of the Bergara B14 Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor challenges assumptions about budget rifles with thin barrels. Despite initial skepticism regarding its lightweight design and thinner barrel, the rifle demonstrated impressive accuracy, consistently shooting sub-MOA groups with specific ammunition. The review highlights the importance of ammunition selection and the rifle's surprising performance under various conditions, including a cold bore test and a challenging target acquisition sequence.

This guide details the comprehensive process of preparing a rifle for hunting, emphasizing thorough zeroing, ballistic data collection, and gear readiness. It highlights the importance of understanding cold bore shots and utilizing tools like chronographs and ballistic apps for accurate turret creation. The process aims to build shooter confidence and ensure reliable performance in the field.

This video challenges experienced shooters to prove their claimed ethical hunting distances, revealing a stark contrast between theoretical capabilities and practical field performance. The analysis, featuring professional shooters and data-driven insights, highlights the critical importance of realistic hit probability assessments and the significant drop in accuracy when moving from ideal range conditions to field scenarios. The overall 36% hit rate underscores the need for specialized training for hunting rifles versus precision rifles.
