Equipment for Shooting from a Sitting Position

This episode of Wind Call Wednesday introduces a challenge where viewers must judge wind speed and direction based on mirage to make an accurate wind call for a shooter. The video details the specific rifle, ammunition, and atmospheric conditions used, emphasizing that wind flags can be unreliable. Instruction is provided by an expert from Ghost Firearms Training LLC.

This video demonstrates the proper technique for firing a bolt-action rifle, specifically the B4 Armory CSS, in a prone position. It highlights smooth bolt manipulation for cycling rounds and confirms successful hits on a TA Targets steel target. The visual evidence showcases the rifle's takedown design and the quality of the Schmidt & Bender optic.

This guide outlines essential preparation steps for gas gun precision rifle competitions, drawing from expert instruction. It covers critical aspects like brass preparation using small base sizing, gas system tuning for optimal cycling, and practical shooting drills for various positions. The advice emphasizes building solid support and mastering foundational skills before employing advanced techniques, ensuring shooters can make clean shots from any platform.

This guide details a long-range shooting session focusing on zeroing the Vector Continental 2-12 scope and comparing the ballistic performance of different 5.56mm ammunition types. It highlights the importance of proper zeroing procedures, utilizing ballistic calculators, and understanding how ammunition changes affect holdovers. The instructor, an experienced hobbyist, self-critically analyzes personal errors in zeroing and technical failures with apps, emphasizing lessons learned for future range trips.

This video demonstrates a long-range handgun accuracy drill, showcasing the capability of a .38 Special Clark Long Slide 1911. The shooter successfully engages an 8-inch steel plate at 100 yards using 148-grain wad cutter ammunition. The demonstration highlights advanced marksmanship skills required for such a feat, emphasizing precision and control.

Long-range precision shooting is a demanding discipline requiring mastery of external ballistics, wind reading, and precise equipment. This expert guide emphasizes the critical step of 'truly' ballistic data through live fire and chronograph use. It covers essential equipment, popular calibers, and the ethical responsibilities of long-range hunting, highlighting the blend of science and art involved.

This video showcases a remarkable 1376-yard elk hunt by a 12-year-old using a Gunwerks rifle chambered in 7mm Rem Mag. It highlights the critical importance of precise range estimation, scope adjustments (32.5 MOA), and marksmanship for extreme long-range success. The hunt involved significant preparation, including hiking and dry-fire practice, culminating in a successful two-shot engagement on a bull elk.

This video demonstrates the significant impact of the Coriolis effect on long-range bullet drop, particularly at 1000 yards. Experiments show directional POI shifts of up to 11 inches (over 1 MOA) when shooting East vs. West due to Earth's rotation. The data suggests collecting ballistic data North or South to mitigate this vertical error.

This video details the initial steps in transforming a factory Remington 700 Sendero into a long-range precision rifle. Key modifications include upgrading the trigger to a crisp 2-pound pull and performing a crucial bedding job on the recoil lug for enhanced shot-to-shot consistency. The process emphasizes meticulous preparation and precise application of bedding compounds and torque settings for optimal performance.

This video showcases a successful long-range coyote hunt in Montana using a Gunwerks rifle. Dustin Butler demonstrates effective predator calling and engagement techniques, highlighting the rifle's performance across various distances, from close-range shots to over 500 yards. The 'range, dial, and kill' workflow is emphasized for efficient long-range hunting.
