I think having an ego is like pride you shouldn't express either one in the long run they are both worthless I think you should always be kind hearted and humble and try your best to be the best

What height of tripod would be good for someone who is 5' 10"

Nice job. Can you tell me what color yellow you used? Looks really similar to the Sitka gear yellow.

Mad respect. I take my glove off for a 2 minute stage at a PRS match, and a single touch of the trigger might as well be like plunging my finger into liquid nitrogen. Meanwhile, you film the whole dang video handling a solid metal system without gloves.

Well, heck. I just sold my AI AT rifle.

How do you like that Abel brake?

I subscribed. After only a few minutes watching you, it's obvious you know your stuff.

Excellent video. I shoot in the wind a lot. A lot of this becomes natural instinct, and it boils down to knowing your rifle and load to make solid hits. When you start doing hold overs by instinct and naturally, you'll know you are getting somewhere. Use and understand all your surroundings too. You don't need wind flags either.

I shoot daily and I mean daily. I shoot competitive F class, Airgun, and Benchrest. I bought a Kimber Andirondack in .308 about 10 years ago. It was truly humbling the first year of ownership of a 4lb 130z .308. Despite all my shooting and training, I had to re-learn some things about myself. In order to shoot such a lightweight rig you have to practice with it, you have to learn it and see how hold, trigger squeeze, head position affect it. You have to train with it like no other firearm I have ever shot. 3 things that have helped tremendously. 1 lightweight crisp trigger, 2 recoil mitigation with either muzzle break or suppressor, and 3 practice. Mountain rifles are no joke. It takes dedication to make them a reliable part of your arsenal.

The more I watch videos like this, the more I realize what a gamechanger the invert legs on my 2vets tripod is…. man oh man I am glad I bought once cry onced with them instead of RRS.

New to long range shooting,.. what do you mean by 5 mph gun?

Curious what spurred this. Anybody have some insight?

Really great content 👏

AWESOME!

random question but what bags are you using? I recently had mine grow legs and walk off, just trying to find a replacement...

Good stuff

The unfortunate reality with SniperCraft, the ASA, and now TacFlow is their apparent belief that they monopolize the LE sniper curriculum. I've witnessed unprofessional behavior, such as Derrik throwing a student’s rifle and calling it garbage. For over a decade, the ASA has stagnated LE sniper tactics, and now TacFlow is offering courses that lack meaningful training value, seemingly focused on profit rather than enhancing officer readiness. Any dissent or questioning of their tactics or motives is met with censorship, blocking, and ostracization.

Marine vet, current LE, and spent some time as part of the instructor cadre for the Precision Rifle Workshop out of Denver. Honor grads were almost always former military guys in the LE classes. The mentality they bring to classes is usually a cut above the rest of the students. I loved what you said about that 10% becoming 100% of your purpose in the moment. It's so damn true. Yeah police work is 99% percent of the time doing something other than shooting, but that 1% is what will matter most when the time comes. Learn from everybody and to hell with what the media will think of your "militarized training." Bartlett didn't even like calling them snipers on the Law Enforcement side.

I'm a reloader of many, many calibers and firearms with over 45years experience and knowledge. on extremely rare occasions I've shot to700 yd + missed more ground hogs that i hit .lol ,but i wasn't a sniper or trained for it.every thing i know 98 percent i taught myself. it saddens me the lack of civilian marksmanship training around our country. we are terribly laking in basic marksmanship skills. most generations below me just pray and spray .they don't want, need, ask for help.because because they think they know it all. well ill quit rambling on not many want to listen to a old fart , but i do know what im talking about .been there ,done what i.say. i found this show and greatly enjoyed it and subscribed. im not to old to learn new things. papa wishing you well 😊

Im a retires LEO sniper, 20 yrs on the 308. There is a place for Military Snipers to teach LEOs. Anyone who says differ, is a closed minded ignorant high command asshole. Worked with a few. 1st book that made me wanna get on a bolt gun... Dear mom a snipers Vietnam, JT Ward. Keep your powder dry.

A better class would be: "LEO Tactics and how to survive them."

One of your best presentations...Motor On.

Having recieved training via FBI HRT a state LE agency and a private firm (all US military snipers) I can tell you that the instructors who imparted the most impactful and revealing knowledge were ALL military snipers - and some had gone on to police work. I am a Marine vet amd so maybe i have an internal bias, BUT the non-vet (college and police school only) instructors did not pack the gear, have the correct mentality and they lacked humility (thought their sh>t didn't stink). Having been on bith sides i can say this with certainty - NEVER EVER THINK FOR ONE SECOND THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO LEARN

That Nazi lightning bolt rune on his background flag seems quite deliberate ? 11:42 11:43

We need to start teaching civilians the same classes

Yeah...mil guys training police. Remember, their paycheck is more important than your freedom....

Did the title of this video change in the middle of me watching it?

So on the reticle topic, if the Tremor 3 is counterintuitive then they do have the Tremor 5 that's recently came out or which reticle would you recommend that would be the best or one of the best for LEO/MIL work?

Aspiring to become LEO sniper Love your stuff bro

Just going to say this; we civs have the right to this training too, really aggravating to see "LEO/MIL Only" classes with the doors shut to citizens. Public servants work for US, not the other way around sorry.

Damnit. I bought a Tremor 3 to learn how to use for it for long range.

Thank you for saying this. Having been to a Snipercraft class with Bartlett himself, I'll just say, "No, thank you very much!" Never again. This was very professionally said. Thank you.

👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome, thank you.👍

Crickets.... EDIT - to add a thank-you for responding below.

Thanks for the podcast. I'm looking forward to further back and forth on the issues of reliability of rifles vs. scopes, or ideally, to meet up with the Rokslide folks. If they aren't doing it ideally, maybe you and they can come up with improvements.

Wow this looks so good, im gonna do my hunting rifle just like this i like it so much

Please take Ryan up on his offer. More discussion/ experiences are always better than few and likley both sides will come out with better information and the shooting public will be the winners

Another great solo podcast . Looking forward to my next in person class and the new places in the line up.

I'm only typing this because there's a chance you may be receptive to the feedback. I've tried to cover most of the stuff you said about the issues with scope drop-testing. You spent time extolling the overbuilt reliability of AI rifles. Which hey they're great, I've owned an AI AT before. But imagine if when you had issues with R700 clones in the past you treated that with the same attitude you treat scopes that can't withstand moderate impacts. I'm not talking about falling down a cliff or anything but one of the examples you gave was a rifle leaning against something and falling over to the ground. "I'm having failures to extract/eject/feed. Well rifles just aren't built to function reliably all the time I guess..." But there ARE rifles built with reliability in mind, AI being a great example of that. The "scopes and rings aren't built to withstand that" angle is so odd given scopes exist that explicitly are built to withstand side to side forces. Nightforce ATACRs for instance all get slammed onto a hard surface from 4-5 different angles and checked on a collimator prior to leaving the factory. Does that make them perfect? No but hey at least they're trying and make clear engineering/testing decisions to try to work towards zero retention. The rings not being built for it angle I don't get. Unless you can say what parts of the ring designs of ARC, Hawkins, Area419, Badger, Nightforce, etc have a weakness to side impacts. As for needing to do 100s of tests to come to a scientific conclusion, you're not wrong but you're also not right. A scope model passing the drop-test isn't definitive POSITIVE proof of anything. But a scope failing (and when one does fail they normally get/test its replacement) is concerning. Because the likelihood of getting two scopes in a row which can't pass a testing procedure that other scopes like NF, SWFA, Trijicon, and Maven can pass is extremely low unless there's an underlying design issue. The drop-testing is more about producing negative results than positive ones because the negative results still mean something with a small sample size due to how probability works. Sure hundreds of tests would be great but given the full test is 3000 rounds, a bunch of driving around on mountain roads with the rifle in the back, and droptesting that's a bit of a tall order. I don't see why we have to let the perfect be the enemy of the good here.

Really hope you take up Ryan Avery’s offer to participate in the drop tests in person

Judging by your comments towards people, it looks like you have a hard time processing other peoples opinions as well.

Sounds like sour grapes. Your response is typical of someone who is compensated by or emotionally invested in a brand that doesnt pass the drop test. The test seems to hurt a lot of ppls feelings. You should link up with them and drop your scopes with them to get a full understanding of what that test entails (if your sponsors or will let you). I think you would learn something. You'd probably get more clicks too(which looks like what you're trying to do here) all the best

"You zero is shifting because your fundamentals suck." (I'm paraphrasing.) This is GOLD!

Caylen, i really respect your advice regarding shooting skill but this podcast has me for the first time questioning your motives and critical thinking. You clearly have not read up on the Rokslide drop test or you are intentionally bashing them to avoid denigrating sponsors/donors. Pick one but be honest about it. On one hand you say the AI rifles are just better and flat out shoot but one of the main contributors to this is the glued in receivers eliminating shifting in the chassis. The Rokslide drop tests are performed with a glued in rifle. You then applaud the shift to new more reliable scopes away from the delicate Unertl scope which is a direct parallel to the Rokslide drop tests. Your dismissal of the results based upon shooter skill and ballistic apps and ammo changes is silly considering the official tests are performed by the same shooter with the same lot of ammo at only 100yrds. Groups include 30rounds zeros to include true cone of fire accuracy not 3rnd cherry picking and not thousand yard hopes and dreams. When scopes fail with supplied rings the scope is swapped to known passing rings and retested. Control scope is remounted and verifies no change in rifle system. So the only legitimate variable is the test scope. I just find it very hypocritical to promote changing to better equipment while bashing others for promoting testing their equipment so they can change to better more reliable equipment for their rifle SYSTEMS. Also, everyone skips rechecking zero after impacts, including you, I would bet a $1,000 on that. EVERYONE has a threshold of acceptable “abuse”. Do you kick you family out of the car for their safety after each pot hole until you can get it to the shop and double check the reliability? Doubt it. Do you recheck zero on your rifle if a snow flake impacts your turret? If a willow twig hits the objective? Do you double check zero ever time to set your pack down with the rifle strapped to it? Doubt it. Would you double check the Unertl more than a Nightforce? If so, why is the same logic not applied to Roksliders after testing the limits of their entire rifle setup (including scope)? I highly recommend take the Shoot2Hunt crew up on their invitation to participate in the drop tests yourself. This would eliminate the poor shooter skill and you could verify the process for yourself and maybe learn something. In the meantime, scopes that can’t hold zero riding in a truck or side by side will still get ridiculed on Rokslide.

I wish you would have read up on the purpose of the drop test before you speak so bad about it. I would recommend you listen to shoot 2 hunt podcast 34. Or get ahold of Ryan and go see the proof for yourself. You don’t have to chase your zero or rezero with tested scopes.

A fluid head is way better than a ball head. It can move very smooth without a cant.

Curious if anyone has tried the Spuhr SICS? Looks super rigid compared to KRG polymer chassis. I will definitely check out AI chassis as well.

Wouldn't a muzzle brake fix this problem
