Long Range 101 Part 77 - Calculating FIRING SOLUTIONS for Various Applications of Fire

[@emilstrenge180]

This material is by far the best I´ve encountered on the web. Can´t wait for more goodies!

[@vincef5832]

The reason I go through these videos is to learn how to develop charts in case the grid melts down. It's the same reason I have a large library of books. Heck I still appreciate remembering how to do long division. When power sources are not available this knowledge can be the power that will help you to function. That's the reasoning behind me telling you to have a series of books published/printed for the Sniper 101. Like I've said before I would pay good money for such information in text.

[@jessed1586]

I’ve been looking for a good resource for making ballistic charts not using jbm ballistic software and doing it by hand. Do you know any good resources?

[@NPCSN]

JESSE D Get the book “Applied ballistics for long range shooting” by Brian Litz. ISBN: 978-0-9909206-1-8 Hope this helps. It’s an extremely good resource for long range shooting. It’s not a quick read. But it’s very very good.

[@zeno2390]

Outstanding! I am just now piping in, but this series is phenomenal. Clearly a labor of love. Ive watched them all and now I sit waiting for the next vid with my notebook in hand! Knowledge like this is priceless, and you have done us all a service, Rex! You have an ally in GA if you need one...

[@mohammadjahangir5618]

One of the best video series i have ever seen , it takes alot time and efforts to make such a series . i greatly appreciate your hard-work.you are really a knowledgeable person . Leopold,Winchester,Remington etc they can only make product for us ,but still need someone to teach us how to do it properly / correctly , in our case that is Rex. regards Jahangir (pak)

[@freddywarren69]

As usual, logical and clear instructions for the various methods that allow informed understanding. Thanks.

[@downbubbledell850]

Hey Rex, just thought I'd say thanks for all the great work you've put in on this series of videos. Over here in rainswept England it can be hard to get this sort of info, especially in the way you put it across. You have been a big influence on me, helping me cut thru the rubbish promises of advertising and steering me in the right direction regarding kit and methods. Can't wait for your next vid mate, keep 'em coming! That's a big two-thumbs-up from me and the guys I'm switching on to you :-)

[@TiborasaurusRex]

Right on. This course is NO replacement for what one can learn over 13 weeks at Barry Buddon, but hopefully this supplemental material continues to be helpful to you and to the others serious about this discipline. I appreciate the kind words :-)

[@JimFleming1953]

You just keep getting better and better in both your production skills, and your material, Rex. Thanks,

[@juicebox853]

+1 Same great content with improved production. What's not to like.

[@amrahdsmith1870]

juicebox853 it is great content, but am i the only one getting audio only on the left side? it's enough to stop me from watching the video. how about proper stereo, or even just mono? that would be an improvement

[@TiborasaurusRex]

Jim Fleming Finally got a non-1987 crank driven computer ;-) Thanks bro!

This video series has been a huge help for me and an incredible inspiration. Right from video #1 when you asked "Would you like to whack this tomato at 850m?" I said hell yeah I do. It may be a long way for me yet but when the time comes... I'm gonna shoot a tomato... at 850m... get it on video... share it on youtube all in dedication to Rex. Thanks man.

[@Hind135]

Anxiously awaiting for your walkthrough of the Primary and Secondary Functions. Great series, I'm learning a great deal. Please keep making videos!

[@therabbit50]

Welcome back Rex, we missed you.

[@gattaca1111]

Outstanding! Anxiously awaiting the calC forms. Only disappointment is that it took until Part 77 for the first Red Dawn reference.

[@congamike1]

After watching all of your previous videos, I wanted something like this. Thanks! I will need a long while to acquire all the gear necessary to reach out like you indicate is possible.

[@montyspamalot5017]

Rex is absolutely right: the latest electronic widgets are nice and can be put to good use, but they are no substitute for understanding the science behind what is going on and avoiding an over-dependence on technology, which may not always be available. This is very analogous to pilot training: the latest avionics with fancy electronic moving maps, course overlays, and the like are great tools for enhancing safety and situational awareness, but my instructors and checkride examiners would often turn off fancy widgets in the cockpit if they sensed I was over-relying on them, as I in turn did to my students to ensure they matured into safe and knowledgable aviators. As a rule: fundamentals first, then technological aids.

[@patalbor3507]

Well done Sir! Thank you, I woke in the middle of the night to watch this. :D

[@Rubicon1776]

Awesome! I would like twice if I could. Can't wait for your calc forms!

[@gunslinger7647]

Hi Rex, you seem to know about the firearm Industry in a very holistic way. Your very sharp and I watch your videos regulary. I even bought the US optics S-T 10 mil Gap with lit reticle in red. I had $1500.00 to spend on a scope, I took your advice and bought one. Not on a rifle yet I like it allot.Where were you educated, were you in military shooting? I have been shooting and loading for 40 yrs and you loose me with the hard words. I know what your saying, just not the way your saying it. Just wondered how a man your age attained so much info. I enjoy your videos because their one of the few that aren't case stuffers , city boys trying to appear smart on You Tube. I understand your ill , I will be praying for you and the family.

[@TiborasaurusRex]

Haha... my pa taught me. We'll just put it like that :-) Thanks for tuning tuning in bro!

[@gunslinger7647]

Your paw is a smart man, my mentor has passes, took a lot of wisdom with him. Take care now.

[@temmenj100]

Another great video Rex! Bring on the Calc forms! (never thought I'd ever say that)

[@preachertruth]

Thanks again for you work Rex. I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas. Like temmenj100 " I never thought I would say" Bring on the calc forms.

[@workernori]

Your a Very Knowledgeable Dude Rex. However Ive watched this Video and Haven't walked away with "How to Calculate" a firing solution on a Variable Distant Object, All Ive seen and heard is that there is Different Cross Hairs and Scopes and each one has Variables on Determining Distance. Be Nice if you could pick a scope with either a Mil-Dot or a BDC Scope or something along that line and teach it, Were Not all Ex-Military and a Good Most of us are just Hunters looking for a Quick Refresher on a Fancy Scope that We just Picked Up. A 34 Minute Video on a Lesson in this would be very Helpful. Keep up the Good Work and I Loved that Bad Ass Shot you did on that Beer Can,That was an Awesome Shot!

[@TiborasaurusRex]

This video is a concept outline and refresher for those working through the series, and a 'teaser' for those not working through the series ;-) ... FULL, exhaustive detail is given in the rest of the series. We hope to sum it all up at the end with a very CONCISE conclusion tying it all together.

[@dpeagles]

+Rex Mundi Yeah, I never saw a video on using the "hasty" tables.

[@juantovar4861]

Thank you for your video. It's awesome.

[@handytalky80]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this subject. I appreciate it.

[@weld3871]

I have four aids in distance for medium to long ranges. 1st is my Mildot Master, 2nd FDAC charts, 3rd Kestrel 4000, 4th Rangefinder binos. I did purchase a SWFA 3X15X42 in FFP for my new .308 heavy barrel rifle. Just waiting on the gunsmith to finish my bedding/pillar job on the new rifle.

[@kanoeeeee]

Rex, i'm a big fan of your videos. I just got my setup completed and I havce been shooting out to 500 yards so far. But I want to know, how do i go about setting up some Detailed Ballistic Tables for my 6.5 Creed. Do i have to shoot at different elevations and temperatures to gather data first?

[@gamba471]

Hello Rex, I have a lot of video to watch that´s for sure! (I´ve just started to watch de 101 series) I wanted to ask about the Error Over distance method! for quick calculation... great stuff, thanks a lot for sharing

[@eluitmoose]

Hey tib I've been watching these videos for some time and have been wondering if it's possible to practice these techniques at much shorter ranges with rim fire rifes, due to where I live it is hard to find places to shoot at the distences talked about in these videos. And also because I'm currently lacking a centrefire rife appropriate for such shots thanks a lot

[@TiborasaurusRex]

+Jesse Katchen You bet! Great way to practice the fundamentals.

[@amunderdog]

Thank you for all your efforts.

[@barryanderson5116]

WOW !! Now we're getting into the good stuff !! I keep going back and looking at the earlier videos to keep polished up. That brings me to a question. Bandwidth is expensive for me living in the country. Have you considered putting all this on DVD's and (somehow) making them available? This is all such good stuff that I would love to have it in a format that I could index and be able to reference when necessary, rather than trying to find the correct video (usually by looking through a bunch of them). It gets expensive !!

[@cag66]

Just get download helper and download he videos.

[@Ryanmonts]

hello rex. i often watch your videos and reccomend them to other people who have some issues and need an in depth explanation. you are a good teacher and make things understandable. i notice you shooting the ar50a1 a bit.. man i would pay you to be able to get my hands on your detailed charts you have made for it. my attempts at using excel, dont even closely compare to what you have done. any way you could make them available for sale or download?

[@1011geman]

Is there anyway that you could put all of these magnificent videos on a dvd? I would be willing to pay good $ for them, and I am certain that many other people would as well.

[@chrispfeffer1106]

Dear Rex, Thanks again for all of your work. As you were talking about the limitations of the ballistic calculators and their potential for failure at a crucial moment, you should have added the potential of an electromagnetic pulse, whether it be natural or manmade. The electronics could be rendered useless so ya better know how to do old school.

[@TiborasaurusRex]

Yes, sir... E.M.P. is a primary concern for a Red-Dawn scenario.

[@jameseves9209]

Hey Rex, Can you give us a link to that Calcform so I can make up a bunch of copies and well ..... I just want to check it out ... It's all coming together ..... Thanks for saving me untold amounts of money and grief ... Can't wait for the next one ...

[@TiborasaurusRex]

Yes, sir. As soon as I triple check everything, I will post the link in the video description. Hang in there~ :-)

[@dchawk4x]

Where can I find one of those MOC scopes? *Cubits, LOL! Love your series Rex. When the snow thaws I hope to post a video response demonstrating all that you have taught me. Cheers!

[@The_Professor_]

I've been trying to find information on mathematics of ballistics to get an estimate of what a rifle can do. I feel it'd be nice in the field to be able to do the math out by hand if ballistic calculators fail, even if they aren't 100% accurate. I more or less want to get rounds close enough that if they miss BDC can easily be employed.

[@cpage305]

Thankyou Rex, very helpful

[@MrM2hb]

Thanks for posting this.

[@Oro4MadNess]

Your Awesome Rex....

[@jobane2]

Hi Rex, thanks for the awesome series - I watched it almost all by now. At some point you mentioned you prefer ranging in meters and will later explain why, but I couldn't find this in the later videos. Can you please clarify it? PS I grew up in Europe, have a background in math and physics, and the metric system is my "default", but living in the USA I had to adjust.Also, all the best wishes for your health!

[@werewolf6289]

Since TiborasaurusRex hasn't replied yet, I will respond with what I assume the reason is. My thoughts are that the metric system is easier to work with when interpolating than the Imperial system. You will notice that he suggests setting the tables up in values that are easily divisible by 10 as they allow for quicker calculations of proportions/percentages when interpolating values that fall between those explicitly defined on the tables. I too have found this series to be very informative and look forward to putting these concepts to use in the near future. Best of luck to you!

[@jobane2]

Thanks for the reply :-) I think however that a table in yards or meters is equally easy to interpolate if set up similarly, hence my question and confusion still stands...

[@SuperOpinion8ed]

jobane2 You could make a table in hex or octal, cubits, leagues, or furlongs. Making the table and doing "half furlong" measurements isn't the issue. I'm guessing it still has to do with why base 10 makes sense to almost everything else we do. Quick: what's 10% of 1km? 100m? pretty easy. Quick: what's 10% of 1 mile. Uh...let's see. 1760 yards x .1 = 176 yards. or..Hmmm. 5280 feet so 528 feet. Quick: your mil dot scope has dots at .1mil. how big is .1 mil in yards (if 1 mil=1 yard)? uh...let's see. 36 inches in a yard so 3.6 inches. Who wants to work like that? If we can train our brain to see in metric, mils and meters is SO much easier. It's like the idea of being bilingual. They say when you can dream in another language, you're getting there. I had a dream the other night where I was talking in Spanish to my Mexican employee. I also have found myself counting in Spanish because he an I have to count a lot of things and it was funny when I found myself doing it without thinking, even when I wasn't talking with him. It takes us Westerners a lot of work to see that the car is parked 200m away or that my friend is 180cm tall. I still have to do the translation just like when I started speaking Spanish...think it in English...translate to Spanish. If we can "think in metric", the math gets a lot faster. Interestingly, our money is basically metric. Thank goodness we dont deal in pennies and pences and shillings and crowns anymore. We call it a "half dollar" but it's really .5 dollars, or 50% of 100. .01, .05, .10, .25, .50, 1.00 increments instead of 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/12, etc. Even our car odometers are in miles and TENTHS of miles...now if they were just kilometers and tenths of kilometers it would make more cents (pun intended).

[@MiniFun92]

u are doing great job... i hope u get some money from this.

[@cl60cruzer]

the videos are great! well made. nothing but praise here.why has no one commented that you look,walk,talk,and have the mannerisms of Ted Nugent. I cant be the only one who sees this. I hope it is taken as a complement.

[@StJamesProductionsMI]

Where do I find some of these tables? Do I need to make them myself and how would you recommend I go about doing that?

[@StJamesProductionsMI]

meccastreisand Thanks, I'll be sure to check them out. Much appreciated

[@Ryantbaby21]

Man I would love to shoot with you I would learn soo much . Do u do classes

[@TiborasaurusRex]

Classes? Soon...as soon as I get everything set up.

[@TiborasaurusRex]

SNIPER 101 - online videos, maybe someday a shooting course... we'll see :-)

[@dchawk4x]

TiborasaurusRex I would pay good money and travel from Michigan to attend.

[@theclaymore5150]

Right on.

[@W6RIPRadioAdventures]

Thank You Brother!!!

[@landlockedviking]

thanks again!

[@GeneralG1810]

LOL at the Red dawn reference, sad part is there are people out there actually waiting for it

[@EnderDragon-oh5fg]

Usually,sniper use AWSM.Cus its not too big and not too small.And it can reach distance of 9000 meters(if equipped by 10x scope).

[@EnderDragon-oh5fg]

Im not talking about PUBG.

[@Anonymous-oy5jj]

Only 100k views, tells me we’re screwed during red dawn

[@romadbrown1]

Weird, had my headphones in and could only hear your conversation with buddies in the videos. Had to unplug them to actually hear your commentary.

[@louiscyfer6944]

irregardless is not a word. it would be regardless or irrespective.

[@SwiftLupus]

I can't seem to find part 76 from your SNIPER 101 series. Never mind, I found it.

[@EnderDragon-oh5fg]

Lol 5:01 swag.

[@thetruthyoucanthandle6868]

Dude they could have those phones blow up if they wanted to. That phone has a lot of energy in it. Also it's listening and watching. And it's temporary.

[@sukeebabie]

no sound ???

[@randyoutside7193]

I think as a T Rex TEACHER of a ballistic dinosaur pack should be a little more responsible and remember the ice age may be coming. I do not want to end up as a fossil in the Smithsonian, while my teacher is off roaming around in California watching a younger species like whales or some mountainous areas in Europe. Big rocks in a circle I do not get it. What next for Heaven sakes Katmandu. Yeah he even went there to. All when a class of dinosaurs are drooling for information. you sir may not be teacher of the year material shooting beer cans, young girls shooting weapons, kids in rock bands. I am just not sure. My favorite line holy cow you got it.
