This episode features Frank Gy of Snipers Hide discussing the evolution of precision rifle shooting, from historical practices to modern competition like PRS and NRL. Gy shares insights on extreme long-range (ELR) shooting, the development of specialized cartridges like the 6GT, and the trend towards switch-barrel rifle systems. He emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and adapting to new techniques and technologies in the precision rifle community.

This video from Precision Rifle Network details a systematic approach to doping the wind for long-range rifle shooting. Instructor Joel outlines a six-step process: feel, look, guesstimate, Kestrel, confirm with mirage, shoot, and spot/adjust. He emphasizes using environmental cues and a Kestrel wind meter with the 'clock method' for accurate wind calls, especially in variable conditions.

This video details a high-elevation pronghorn hunt, emphasizing long-range shooting techniques and the importance of proper firearm maintenance. It includes a step-by-step guide on disassembling and cleaning a rifle bolt, crucial for reliable function in harsh conditions. The hunt highlights challenges like wind and altitude, showcasing the application of rangefinders and ballistic calculations for successful shots.

This episode of Long Range Pursuit follows a sheep hunt in Montana and a mule deer hunt in Utah, showcasing long-range shooting techniques and the importance of understanding external ballistics. The hosts demonstrate how to use ballistic calculators, specifically the G7 calculator, to account for windage and trajectory at extended distances. The content emphasizes practical application in hunting scenarios, highlighting the need for accurate data input and compensation for environmental factors to achieve successful shots.

This YouTube video, "LRE | Hawaii 2017 Axis Deer hunt and L3 Training," presented by Gunwerks, documents a 3-day Long Range Expedition in Hawaii. The event, held from July 29-31, 2017, combines L3 Training focused on advanced wind doping and field shooting challenges with an Axis deer hunt on Molokai Ranch. The package includes food and lodging, requiring participants to arrange their own travel and hunting gear. The course is specifically designed for graduates of LRU Level 1 and Level 2.

This episode of Long Range Pursuit follows Aaron's once-in-a-lifetime bighorn sheep hunt in New Mexico. The video emphasizes the critical importance of wind doping for long-range shooting, detailing three techniques: using a handheld wind meter, analyzing mirage, and observing vegetation. It highlights how cartridge selection, specifically the ballistic coefficient and velocity of rounds like the 7mm Remington Magnum compared to a .308 Winchester, significantly impacts wind deflection. The hunt culminates in a successful 683-yard shot on a mature bighorn sheep, showcasing practical application of these long-range shooting principles in challenging mountain conditions.
