5 Tips To Shoot Better Long Range

What would you add to this list?

Are you shooting through the scope with both eyes open ? I've tried to keep both eyes open looking through a scope. But I see 2 sight pictures. Any tips ?
I can keep both eyes open with a pistols irons, red dots etc. My problem is looking through the scope.

Wowww I have an air rifle and all this time I was positioning myself wrong the whole time

i left when he put his finger on the scope for shooting

Great kit for rifle package

what model of sniper is this?

Somewhat off subject but how much weight are you running at the front of your rifle to get that balance point and what does your rifle weigh in total? Most people I've seen with that perfect balance point have weights all over the front of their chassis and/or really long barrels, you seem to have neither

The key: transfer the stability of the ground into the position. There are three factors to this, bone/artificial support, muscular relaxation, and natural point of aim. Squaring up to Rifle is bs. Shooting prone with sling support in CMP or NRA governed high power rifle competition proves it and believe it, calling the shot is no problem and maintaining NPA is no issue either.

Tip #1. Have a lot of money.

Ballpark what’s that rifle weigh? I have a 308 in the acc that kicks like a mule. I’m wondering if I need weights or a brake

I took a few pics of myself today and noticed immediately some form /mechanics issues. Def need to work on some things. Am currently binge watching your videos and noticing our range lol. Thank you for your help. I typically get talked down to (grrrl problems). It was nice learning for once.

Nice shooting. Tip #6: use a muzzle brake, which I never use

can anyone tell me what hat hes wearing?

What brand and model is the bubble level you have on your scope?

Excellent video. Thanks much.

Good tips.

I'm not even a Long Range Shooter, but I enjoy the videos that you make. There's always great content for me to watch and I learn something new.

Here are my tips:
1. appraise wind and calculate counter
2. bone/artificial support, muscular relaxation, natural point of aim
3. Point the rifle with consistent sight alignment & pull trigger without disturbing aim utilizing SMOOTH trigger control.
4. follow-through and call shot
5. shooter/target analysis correlating bullet strike to call to correct zero for distance/wind/weather conditions

Now, 5 steps:
A shooter who is just becoming knowledgeable of what is important to good shooting may be overwhelmed by it all. Since the shooter cannot remember everything that is important to good shooting, breaking it down into five steps can help the shooter put it all together.


 First, shoulder the rifle and align sights, conscious of the need to make the five factors of a steady position consistent (elbows, non-firing hand, butt to shoulder, stock weld, and grip), but without any consideration for the target. This means, do not look at the target while shouldering the rifle or aligning sights. Just allow the rifle to point wherever natural point of aim initially dictates. This prevents an unconscious muscling of the rifle to the target while building the position.

 Next, adjust natural point of aim for desired sight picture.

 Then, pull focus off the target and place focus back on the reticle.

 Now, pull trigger smoothly so as not to disturb aim.

 Finally, follow-through, continuing to aim with trigger depressed, until recoil has subsided. Follow through assures being able to call the shot which is necessary for shooter/target analysis.

Wtf is that trigger finger angle during the first tip

Straight forward and to the point! Very good tips and exactly what I was looking for as far as advice goes, will definitely try these out.

That was a short barrel. But how short my i ask? Nice video!

That muzzle brake is doing an awesome job!! What brand is it?

tip 1 : use a shooting bench
tip 2 : buy a chair

very good illustration!

I see that you are using the game changer bag. I was originally interested in this bag to put on a tripod, but was only shooting my rifle in an inside range. It was great to see that you could turn the bag on it’s side to use on a flat surface. I always leave knowing more than when I came in. You have such a great way of presenting content. Nicely done.

I can't believe how many guys I see that seem like they have a spring pulling their trigger finger off the trigger after it breaks.

Good reminders as always Joel, and a comment for the Tube Lords!

Awesome tips,....Thanks fer sharing. Would like to know what the barrel length is there on your 308?

Ahh 308 🇺🇸

Joel I thought you knew 308 wasn't cool. You need to be shooting some 6mm Acradashacreedmoor to be hip.

So Joel how much does your 308 weigh because it wasn’t moving a bit. You’re freaking awesome.

Lol invisible wall. I shoot 308ai so walls at 9hundo. Great video

Having some type anti cant level and incorporate checking it when setting up in a position

You know times are getting tough when Joel is shooting .308
But damn that rig barely recoils for being chambered in .308!!!

Thanks for tips sir!!!

For the algorithm!

i like it thanks for rour hard work

Core fundamentals of long range...plus awesome T-Shirt...August 10th 1984...“In the early days of World War III, guerrillas, mostly children, placed the names of their lost upon this rock. They fought here alone and gave up their lives ‘so that this nation shall not perish from the earth.'"

I love just the tips...wait a minute...

Like the video - I was tracking until invisible wall at 800. Transonic zone for that load? I guess I didn't get the joke.

Good video, what fill do you have in game changer bag. Thx

Keep it up!
