This guide details how a novice shooter successfully engaged targets at 1,000 yards with a Barrett MRAD rifle. It emphasizes the importance of proper setup, including using a booster seat for stability and familiarizing the shooter with scope adjustments. The process covers aiming, firing, cycling the bolt, and making ballistic corrections for long-range accuracy, demonstrating that even beginners can achieve hits with the right approach and equipment.

This guide details how to achieve a Natural Point of Aim (NPA) with precision rifles, emphasizing kinesthetic alignment. It teaches shooters to orient the rifle towards the target first, then adjust their body position to meet the rifle, rather than forcing the rifle onto the target. Proper shoulder engagement and rear bag manipulation are key for stability and fine-tuning.

This three-day mid-range rifle course at Thunder Ranch, instructed by Kit Badger, focuses on developing essential long-range shooting skills. Key takeaways include mastering rifle zeroing, collecting precise ballistic data at known distances, and applying this data for accurate engagement. The course emphasizes practical application through positional shooting, reticle hold techniques, and diagnostic drills to improve shooter and rifle performance.

This guide details how to develop a rifle's Data On Previous Engagements (DOPE) for accurate long-range shooting. It emphasizes the importance of a precise zero and accurate input data into ballistic calculators, including muzzle velocity, bullet specifications, and rifle measurements like height over bore. The process involves generating a range card, recording data, and truing up the ballistic solution through live fire adjustments to ensure consistent hits at various distances.

This video provides a comprehensive comparison of the 6mm ARC and 5.56x45mm NATO cartridges, focusing on their performance in various shooting scenarios. It details recoil differences, terminal ballistics through ballistic gel and pork shoulders, and long-range accuracy out to 1000 yards. The content also touches on the emerging role of 6mm ARC in special operations and its practicality for civilian use, contrasting it with the established dominance of 5.56.

This video demonstrates a high-speed precision shooting technique focusing on rapid-fire double taps at 120 yards with a custom AR-15. The demonstration, led by subject matter expert Tanner Denton, highlights effective recoil management and consistent target engagement using a tripod-mounted setup with an LPVO and suppressor. It showcases proficient use of stabilization for accurate and swift follow-up shots.

This comprehensive guide, presented by AK Operators Union's Rob Ski, details the field stripping and basic maintenance procedures for the AK47 platform. It covers essential steps from initial inspection and disassembly to cleaning, lubrication, and reassembly, emphasizing common AK quirks and best practices for reliability. Rob Ski, a recognized subject matter expert, provides practical advice for both new and experienced AK owners.

This guide details the field stripping and reassembly process for the SVD Dragunov rifle, as demonstrated by an expert from AK Operators Union. It covers removing the dust cover, recoil spring, bolt carrier group, gas tube, and barrel/receiver assembly. The speaker highlights the quality of original components and the rifle's historical significance.

This guide details two critical field expedient repairs for the AK-47 platform, as demonstrated by Rob Ski of AK Operators Union. It covers using rubber bands to temporarily replace a broken recoil spring and guide rod assembly, and employing a wooden toothpick to retain the firing pin when the retainer pin is lost. These techniques are presented as emergency measures to maintain firearm operability in austere environments.

This video details the results of a 5000-round endurance test on the Palmetto State Armory AR15 Freedom, conducted by Rob Ski of AK Operators Union. The rifle successfully completed the rigorous AKOU endurance test, including the sand tornado test. While accuracy was deemed respectable for a budget platform (2.24 MOA), internal inspections revealed normal wear on components like the cam pin and bolt lugs. The rifle is presented as a solid budget option, with a recommendation to invest in a better barrel for enhanced long-range precision.
