Milling Targets with Former USCG Precision Marksmanship Instructor Billy Leahy

This video outlines the bare minimum essentials for engaging a target, distinguishing between 'Level 2' (including aids like rangefinders and calculators) and 'Level 1' (relying more on fundamental knowledge). It emphasizes the importance of understanding 'gun number' and 'speed drop' for effective engagement. The instructor provides practical drills for improving range estimation and wind calling, stressing that these skills are crucial for accurate shooting, especially when technological aids may not be available.

This video details the initial training and qualification process for a newly formed sniper section. Key skills emphasized include range estimation using reticle measurements and the mill-radian formula, target detection, and accurate engagement at specific distances. The training also incorporates muzzle velocity measurements via chronograph and the calculation of necessary turret adjustments for elevation, highlighting the collaborative role of shooter and spotter.

This guide details a practical 'Fast Math' technique for estimating long-range rifle elevation adjustments when ballistic data is unavailable. Taught by an expert instructor from Dirty Civilian, the method involves subtracting 150 yards from the target distance to derive an initial mil elevation call. The video emphasizes using this shortcut to get 'in the ballpark' and then employing reticle observation for quick corrections to achieve accuracy.

This YouTube video, titled "#1: Incorrect Range | Top 5 Reasons You Miss," focuses on crucial shooting techniques related to accurate range estimation. The description highlights the importance of laser rangefinders and outlines key steps: checking the laser to the reticle, achieving stability, bracketing the target, and utilizing ranging modes found in Revic Optics products. The video also promotes Gunwerks' YouTube channel for more content on long shots, difficult shots, shooting tips, DIY, and ballistics.

This guide details how to check the alignment of a laser rangefinder's reticle with its emitted beam. Incorrect alignment can lead to inaccurate range readings, especially on smaller targets. The process involves using a stable setup and a target with a distant backdrop, then systematically checking the reticle's edges against the target to identify any displacement, which may require factory service.

This guide, drawing on the expertise of Clint, a firearms instructor, details how to properly utilize various firearm reticles. It covers specific reticle breakdowns for optics like the EOTech EXPS2-2, Trijicon ACOG, and Leupold Mark 5HD, explaining aiming points, Bullet Drop Compensators (BDC), and range estimation. The guide also addresses critical concepts such as 'height over bore' compensation and the differences between First and Second Focal Plane optics, emphasizing that the correct optic choice and understanding its reticle are crucial for effective shooting.

This guide details the automated progressive reloading process for 9mm Luger cartridges, as demonstrated on a Mark 7 Reloading Evolution Autodrive. It covers brass preparation, component loading (primers, powder, bullets), and the operation of a fully automated press that performs multiple steps simultaneously for high-volume production. The process emphasizes efficiency and speed, achieving a rate of 1,902 rounds per hour.

This video demonstrates a sniper stalk training exercise led by a former Navy SEAL sniper instructor. The drill focuses on stealth, camouflage using natural vegetation, and moving to a firing position undetected. The exercise highlights the importance of observation and the challenges of locating a well-camouflaged stalker.

This video humorously demonstrates a 'backup plan' for when a semi-automatic handgun runs dry. After depleting the magazine and the slide locking back, the shooter resorts to throwing a rock at the target. While presented satirically, it highlights the importance of situational awareness and creative problem-solving, albeit in a non-standard manner.

This guide, presented by Myles from Tactical Hyve, details essential pistol aiming techniques for beginners. It covers the critical concepts of sight alignment ('equal height, equal light') and sight picture, explaining different aiming holds like Center Hold and Combat Hold, particularly relevant for Sig Sauer firearms. The guide also differentiates aiming with iron sights versus red dot optics, emphasizing the importance of proper firearm zeroing for accurate shooting.
