Intro to Long Range Shooting w/ Ryan Cleckner (part 1)

The 7mm PRC is emerging as a dominant long-range precision rifle caliber, poised to surpass the 6.5 Creedmoor by late 2026. This is attributed to its heavier bullet weight (160-195 grains), higher velocity (upwards of 3,100 ft/s), and superior energy output, making it more effective beyond 800 yards and a better choice for large game hunting. The 7mm PRC offers an evolution in long-range capability, fitting a 'do-it-all' role more effectively than its predecessor.

This guide details the process of using a modern, magazine-fed lever action rifle, specifically the Henry Predator, in a long-range shooting environment. It covers ammunition loading, magazine insertion, chambering rounds, and efficient lever action manipulation for sustained fire. The video showcases advanced shooting positions and the use of specialized optics and rangefinding equipment, demonstrating a practical application of this unique rifle platform in a challenging setting.

This guide details the process of truing ballistic data for extreme long-range shooting using the Gunwerks Endex rifle. It emphasizes the importance of real-world impact data to refine ballistic calculations via the Revic app, ensuring accuracy at distances exceeding 1500 yards. The video showcases precise execution by manufacturer experts, highlighting the rifle's performance and portability.

This video explains the fundamental differences between Minute of Angle (MOA) and Milliradian (MIL) as units of angular measurement used in rifle scopes. It clarifies that MOA is 1/60th of a degree, equating to approximately 1 inch at 100 yards, while MIL is 1/6400th of a circle, equating to 10 cm at 100 meters. The instructor notes that most precision scopes use quarter MOA adjustments, allowing for fine-tuning.

This guide details techniques for long-range shooting, emphasizing the importance of accurate spotting, adjusting aim based on impact, and utilizing specialized equipment like high-magnification scopes and bipods. Instruction is provided by Tim Harmsen, a recognized expert from Military Arms Channel, offering insights into achieving accuracy at 1000 yards.

This video humorously illustrates the common pitfall of attributing shooting errors to equipment rather than skill. It highlights that even with high-end gear like EOTech Vudu scopes and Manners stocks, proficiency in long-range shooting requires dedicated training. The core message, emphasized by the creator, is that 'Money Doesn't Buy Skill. Train.'

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously debunks the myth of Glocks being made of porcelain and undetectable by metal detectors. It references the fictional Glock 7 from Die Hard 2, clarifying that real Glocks are not made of ceramic and are standard firearms. Lovell's high authority as a professional firearms instructor is evident in his clear explanation and proper handling.

This guide outlines a method for introducing new, potentially apprehensive individuals to firearms, as demonstrated by John Lovell. It emphasizes a controlled, safe, and positive first experience, starting with small calibers and instructor-led handling, before progressing to larger platforms. The approach prioritizes building confidence and dispelling fear through expert guidance and adherence to strict safety protocols.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously illustrates that while a shooter might achieve accuracy from an unstable stance, true shooting proficiency requires a stable base for balance and recoil management. Lovell, a former Army Ranger, emphasizes that a proper stance is fundamental, not just for accuracy but for overall control and readiness. The demonstration shows how instability leads to a loss of balance after firing, highlighting the practical importance of a solid stance.

John Lovell, a professional tactical instructor, demonstrates the correct way to utilize a vertical foregrip on an AR-15. He advises against a 'gangster' grip, instead promoting a technique where the foregrip is used as a hand stop to pull the rifle into the shoulder for better recoil control. The guide also covers using the foregrip to brace against obstacles for increased shooting platform stability.
