Two Shooting Drills to Become More Accurate

This video demonstrates the effective range of the .38 Special cartridge when fired from a lever-action rifle equipped with a suppressor. The test shows consistent accuracy out to 100 yards and confirms usability up to 200 yards, highlighting the surprising capability of this common handgun round in a rifle platform.

This video demonstrates that a budget AR-15 build, often referred to as a 'Special (Poor's) Rifle' (SPR), can achieve practical accuracy at 1000 yards for under $1000. The hosts, experienced shooters, highlight the evolution of the AR market and the accessibility of long-range shooting with modern optics and ammunition, while also discussing potential challenges with budget components.

This episode delves into why .22 rifles are notoriously picky about ammunition and offers practical advice for improving their accuracy. Key takeaways include the critical importance of testing various ammo types, maintaining a clean barrel to remove lead fouling, and practicing careful shooting fundamentals. For those seeking further improvements, basic gunsmithing like recrowning the muzzle and refining the trigger can yield significant results, though the primary focus remains on understanding the rifle's unique preferences and the shooter's technique.

This guide details how to achieve accurate prone shooting by focusing on natural point of aim, proper body positioning, and utilizing a sling for stability. It emphasizes avoiding spinal twists and using bone support with muscular relaxation. The instruction also covers optic eye relief adjustments and a breathing technique for a controlled trigger press, aiming to improve shooter consistency and accuracy at various distances.

This guide details a 200-meter rifle engagement drill demonstrated by a professional shooter. It focuses on precise shot placement for both the Ruger Precision Rifle and the Barrett MRAD, emphasizing controlled firing, recoil management, and efficient bolt manipulation. The drill aims to assess and improve accuracy at distance for bolt-action platforms.

This guide, instructed by Navy SEAL 'Coach' from Tactical Hyve, details two essential standing rifle positions: the Marksmanship Stance for maximum accuracy potential, and the Combat Stance for mobility and close-quarters engagement. It emphasizes the critical role of Natural Point of Aim (NPA) and proper body mechanics for consistent shot placement, covering common mistakes and techniques for both stances. Instruction is provided with expert-level clarity, suitable for intermediate shooters.

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.
