DO THIS with your Hunting Rifle

This comprehensive guide outlines the 4-day High Angle Rifle Training (HART) course at Thunder Ranch, as taught by Ivan from Kit Badger. The course progresses from classroom theory and zeroing to advanced techniques like milling, positional shooting, and extreme long-range engagements up to 1500 yards. It emphasizes practical application in natural terrain and culminates in competitive drills, suitable for experienced precision rifle shooters.

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 guide details long-range shooting techniques demonstrated at Gunsite Academy with the Mossberg Patriot LR Tactical rifle. It emphasizes the importance of precise zeroing, utilizing ballistic calculators, and employing proper dialing and reticle holdover methods for windage. The instruction, delivered by an experienced shooter from TFB TV, focuses on achieving consistent hits at distances up to 700 yards, highlighting the rifle's capabilities and the role of math in long-range accuracy.

This guide details the practical accuracy techniques employed during an FN SCAR 17 'Speedway' run, focusing on engaging multiple targets at varying distances under time pressure. It covers marksmanship, optic usage, ammunition considerations, and essential maintenance for the SCAR platform, as demonstrated by experienced shooters Henry and Josh. The FN SCAR 17 is highlighted as a capable platform for practical accuracy with a low recoil impulse for its caliber.

This guide, presented by a highly authoritative instructor from Precision Rifle Network, details a methodical approach to troubleshooting a precision rifle that has lost accuracy. It emphasizes thorough cleaning as a first step, followed by mechanical checks, refouling, and systematic testing with match-grade ammunition at increasing distances. The process includes data truing by adjusting ballistic coefficient based on chronograph readings and observed impacts, crucial for long-range accuracy.

This guide outlines a practical accuracy drill for the LaRue Siete rifle, engaging targets from 100 to 1,000 yards. It emphasizes rapid engagement at closer ranges and meticulous wind calling and adjustment for extended distances. The drill highlights the rifle's consistency and the shooter's ability to adapt to challenging wind conditions, as demonstrated by expert instructors Henry Chan and Josh Mazzola.

This video demonstrates the severe dangers of using smokeless powder in a muzzleloader designed for black powder, resulting in a catastrophic barrel explosion. The speaker, identified as a manufacturer representative, uses a remote firing rig to safely showcase the consequences of this common but deadly mistake. The footage highlights the importance of understanding powder types and pressure differences to prevent dangerous malfunctions.

This video presents an accuracy comparison between a traditional flintlock rifle and a modern sporting rifle at 100 yards. The host, demonstrating high expertise and safe firearm handling, loads and fires both rifles, utilizing Hornady Match .308 ammunition and Goex Black Powder. The comparison highlights the practical differences in loading times and aims to determine which platform achieves superior accuracy under these conditions.

This expert guide details the catastrophic failure modes of muzzleloaders, as demonstrated by Thompson/Center Arms' engineering team. It covers the dangers of double loading, double powder charges, and critically, the use of smokeless powder, which led to a barrel explosion. The video emphasizes safety and understanding pressure limits in muzzleloading firearms.

This guide, presented by an expert from Thompson/Center Arms, focuses on three critical shooting mistakes and their solutions. It covers achieving a Natural Point of Aim (NPOA) for stability, mastering trigger control to overcome target panic, and the benefits of shooting with both eyes open for improved awareness. The instruction emphasizes fundamental techniques for becoming a better marksman.
