LR Blog 345: Effective longrange shooting

[@ChrisWhite.fishing]

Lets all give Thomas a LIKE, to boost his channel - THE BEST EDUCATIONAL longrange guntuber in history of everything.

Thanks John, glad you liked it. Yeah, found it necessary to delineate the sponsor content and not go the traditional "influencer way" and prostitute myself.

[@portalstrzeleckipl]

Sensational episode Thomas! You gave a lot of valuable advice not only to novice shooters. It's nice that you have turned your attention to electronic toys that will not necessarily do the job. One note for people who want to use a trigger trick. Do it very gently. The end of the film - priceless.

[@THLR]

Thanks. Yes, Ia gree. With the benefit of hindsight, I should have stressed more that this is a technique for learning to grip the rifle properly - once you got it, reverse and put the finger on last. Too many just grip the rifle or struggle unneccessary with getting the finger in the right place and thus never achieving "neutral trigger control".

[@gabba138]

The quality of the episode improves one by one… great work! Are you able to provide episodes/tutorials/tips for “hunting” shooting i.e. not shooting from a prone position, shooting fairly LR (-300m) from a stick, how to train this etc. Would highly appreciate such content. Keep up the good work ! Greetings from Germany

[@THLR]

Yes absolutely. That is part of my kipplauf project.

[@NaterTaterOutdoors]

I love the instructionals you make. Thanks again for the great specific instruction. I will remind myself to not load the bipod like I have been doing on not give as much cheek pressure. I’m just finding my way to shooting as I go.

Great video Thomas, I have really been enjoying your focus on "field shooting tactics". Please keep it up. I almost wet myself at "What about Density Altahtaaaude!?!". Great stuff. Stay safe this winter. Cheers from Minnesota.

[@THLR]

Glad you didn't need new pants! :D What part of Minnesota are you in? I used to live in Grand Forks, ND side but went across the bridge to Minnesota/ Cabelas more than once with my meagre student funds. All my hunting seemed to push me east as well (waterfowl), but it is my understanding that Minnesota can produce really good whitetails? Wasn't there for rifle season, so didn't go. Didn't hunt gophers or cottontails either, my three regrets for those years. I just didn't have the money to go anywhere.

[@timjohnson2731]

@@THLR I am in Central Minnesota(Monticello). You and I have visited about this before. I remember you saying you went to School in NoDak. There is in an abundance of wildlife throughout the midwestern U.S. Minnesota does produce some nice Whitetails, but the real giants are to the south of us in Iowa. People come from all over the U.S. to hunt Whitetails in Iowa. As you know, the midwest is a great place to live if you're a sportsman. My only complaints about the outdoors in Minnesota are: not many places to shoot long range, and our "State Bird" - The Mosquito. It is absolutely gorgeous where you live, but I assume for you the complaints are long Winters/Darkness and rain...lots of rain. LoL

[@THLR]

@@timjohnson2731 Sorry, I forget. But I did not forget the mosquitoes, next level agression. My main concern now is all the snow, record levels, and if we get the usual melt I'll hafve a full basement when the ground saturates. Shovelling every day as a precaution...

[@timjohnson2731]

@@THLR no worries Thomas, no need to apologize. You do a great job interacting with your audience and I don't expect you to remember everyone. Best of luck with the snow this winter. I have to tell you, whenever I am taking a friend to shoot long range for the first time, the night beforehand I send them the video that you and Ulf did about Long Range Shooting systems with your Blaser R8 - 338. It's very effective at getting people excited. I know it's not complex as far as the content goes, although there are some hard truths in there that I appreciate. But, it was so beautifully filmed and there is enough there to get new shooters REALLY excited. I know that was some years ago, but, thank you for making that video. I've always wanted to tell you that.

[@THLR]

Thanks for that Tim. That was a publicity stunt for Zeiss, produced by David Wright from the british KZbin show Fieldsports channel. Zeiss needed a circus monkey and I needed to borrow authority from an established "hunter brand" to negate some local prejudice against longrange shooters; the fact that you are skilled with a rifle does not neccessarily change the hunt in a bad way. Very impressed with how that film came out, cameraman David is not a shooter but he understood everything and it was cut well on the first attempt.

[@peterhackett6638]

So you mentioned spin drift, at what point do you make an adjustment for spin drift, assuming no wind present like this video. Is it once you’re at a certain distance you apply a spin drift adjustment?

[@THLR]

It's there from the moment bullet leaves the barrel, but it doesn't amount to any significant/noticable amount until reaching 5-600 meters. With a windcall, it simply drowns in the windcall error. I apply 1 click left range 400 to 800 meters if I want to correct for it, which I rarely do. I rather aim and expect the bullet strike just right of the illuminated aiming dot in the reticle.

Absolutely. For a period of many years, I read "everything" that was published on the subject. Many of the books are simply poor (limited knowledge) or too specific to a task such as shooting x discipline or with y gear. Other books are technically correct, but you wade through a lot of words for not enough essence or it's simply too long or coloured by sponsor influence. The latter are not really bad books, it's more a matter of perspective as they don't align with how I would choose to teach. The one book I will recommend is written by Frank Galli of Sniper's Hide, just skip all the chapters about his personal development if you don't want to read it, and you're left with concise and solid advice. www.amazon.com/Precision-Rifle-Marksmanship-Fundamentals-Shooting/dp/1951115104/ref=sr_1_1?crid=VI6B3BTUWE1Q&keywords=fundamentals+of+long+range+shooting&qid=1638373494&sprefix=fundamentals+of+lon%2Caps%2C246&sr=8-1

😂😂 Bra humor og enormt lærerikt. Men jeg føler at jeg må se den 100 ganger eller bli flygeleder for å forstå trykkregningen.

[@THLR]

Mange takk. Trykkregning er mest for å vise at du ikke trenger å bruke mye penger på en Kestrel værstasjon, bruke 2-5000 bare for å oppdage at dette ikke tilførte noe til skytingen. La oss prøve en annen approach til trykkregning. DEL 1: Finn hvor høyt du er over havet og divider tallet med 10 (eller 8,6 om du har kalkulator). Dette tallet er korreksjonsverdien din. La oss si skytebanen er 400 meter over havet, korreksjonsverdi blir 40 (hoderegning) eller 46,5 (kalkulator). Hvilken verdi du bruker spiller liten rolle, begge er nøyaktige nok for formålet "skyting". Jeg bruker 8,6 for å demonstrere hvor presis du kan være uten et måleinstrument. DEL 2: Gå inn på yr.no og finn lufttrykket i værvarselet. La oss si det er 1011 i værvarselet. Trekk fra din korreksjonsverdi og du får 1011 - 40 = 971 hPa. Dette er faktisk lufttrykk som vil påvirke kulebanen der du er. DEL 3: Sammenlikne faktisk lufttrykk med lufttrykket du brukte da du beregnet din kulebane. Er du +/-50 så bruk tabellen as-is. Dvs alle verdier 920-1020 på faktisk lufttrykk tilsier at du bruker tabellen as-is uten korreksjoner på verdiene. Viser laseren 620 meter, så skrur du verdi tilsvarende 620 meter i tabellen din. Det er et par detaljer til, men dette er godt nok for nå. De fleste skyter på samme geografiske plass og normal variasjon i været vil ikke forårsake stor nok variasjon i lufttrykk til å være relevant for kulebanen.

[@fattylars]

Regner med at du kommer til å få pes for segmentet rundt hjemmelading. Jeg føler at argumenter som at det et billigere å lade ammunisjonen selv tilsier at fritiden er verdiløs.

[@THLR]

Gikk i samme fella for 20 år siden. Om man lister opp prisen på komponenter, så ser tilsynelatende hjemmelading rimelig ut. Og skyter du sære eller dyre kaliber, så blir gjerne hjemmelading en økonomisk nødvendighet. Jeg gikk veien via billigste ladesett og totalsummen etter 20 år er nok at jeg burde ha styrt unna hjemmelading. Etterhvert som tidsfella kom, ble det stadig brukt mer penger på ladeutstyr i håp om å effektivisere/ spare tid, og denne utskiftningen av utstyr tilsvarer MANGE fabrikkpatroner og etterpåklok så skulle jeg gjerne ha brukt timene på andre ting. 6,5x55 er unikt rimelig i Norge, og med mindre man skyter mer enn 1000 skudd i året eller har helt spesielle behov så har jeg veldig vanskelig for å anbefale noe annet enn dette kaliberet + kjøpeammo. Jeg konsoliderer selv all skytingen min rundt 6,5x55 nå, med eller uten sponsor blir dette det rimeligste. De få patronene jeg trenger til 221 Fireball kan jeg skuffe unna en gang i året, jeg tipper det blir 2023 før jeg trenger å lade neste patron der...
