The Ultimate Long Range Training | Haley Strategic D5 Precision Rifle

This comprehensive guide, led by Joe Dawson of Bruiser Industries and instructor Jimmy B Rodriguez, details advanced long-range shooting techniques. It covers ballistic coefficient differences (G1 vs. G7), practical methods for truing ballistic data without a chronograph using a Kestrel 5700 Elite, and advanced stability methods involving tripods, shooting bags, and slings. The instruction emphasizes practical application in challenging environments like those found in Oregon, culminating in windage estimation techniques and barricade drills.

This guide provides a quick setup for the Kestrel 5700 Elite weather meter for precision rifle shooters. It covers capturing environmental data, ranging targets, inputting wind and elevation adjustments, and building a custom gun profile using muzzle velocity and bullet data. The process is demonstrated for achieving a hit at 300 yards after establishing a zero.

This guide details a practical training drill designed to evaluate the performance of various combat optics, from LPVOs to holographic sights with magnifiers, in transition speed scenarios. The drill, led by an instructor with high authority, involves timed engagements at different distances, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each optic type. It emphasizes practical application and speed, crucial for modern combat and tactical shooting.

This guide details Todd Hodnett's 'Alternate Range Zero' technique, a practical method for zeroing precision rifles when a standard 100-meter range is inaccessible. It emphasizes using ballistic data from tools like the Kestrel 5700 Elite to achieve a precise zero at alternative distances, followed by turret adjustment. The technique is presented as a field-expedient solution, with a caution against its use at extreme ranges.

This guide details the process of calibrating a ballistic solution, as explained by Bryan Litz, a subject matter expert in ballistics. It covers essential techniques like muzzle velocity truing and Drag Scale Factor (DSF) truing for accurate long-range shooting. Proper calibration ensures the solver adapts to real-world conditions, enabling first-shot hits by accounting for factors like range, wind, and atmospheric pressure.

This guide covers essential techniques for precision rifle shooting, emphasizing proper setup and support gear. It highlights the importance of a solid zero, using shooting bags and electronic levels for stability, and selecting consistent ammunition. The video also touches on rifle maintenance and practical optics usage, drawing from the experience of instructors at K&M Precision Rifle Training.

This video from TA Targets details an unusual warranty claim involving a steel target with a large penetration hole. The manufacturer's representative, demonstrating high expertise in ballistics and steel properties, analyzes the damage. They conclude that the hole was likely caused by a .50 BMG Mk 211 Mod 0 (Raufoss) round, not the customer's claimed .300 Win Mag, despite the customer's assertion. TA Targets ultimately replaced the target as a gesture of customer support, highlighting their commitment to service even when the damage isn't a manufacturing defect.

This video demonstrates a rapid-fire drill on the TA Targets Phoenix Plate Rack using a PACT Club Timer III. The shooter, exhibiting high authority and expertise, successfully engages all six AR550 steel plates with a handgun. The drill emphasizes clean draw from concealment and high accuracy during rapid fire, showcasing proficient firearm handling.

This video demonstrates a head-to-head competition using the TA Targets Competition Dueling Tree. Two shooters utilize semi-automatic handguns to rapidly flip six reactive steel paddles, showcasing speed and accuracy in a dynamic drill. The drill emphasizes high-speed target transitions and proficient use of modern optics, as demonstrated by experienced shooters on an outdoor range.

This guide, from TA Targets, details the setup and deployment of 'backpack guns' as a supplement to a primary handgun. It emphasizes the 'gray man' philosophy for concealment, comparing draw times between handguns and rifles, and showcases specific builds like a 10.3-inch 5.56 AR pistol and a Veritas Tactical .300 Blackout SBR. The instruction highlights the importance of realistic range training with your chosen setup.
