"Most dangerous weapon is a man and his rifle. " it's up to you to be dangerous, and training is the key.

[@3istheanswer]

A man with no training and a gun is also very dangerous. Just not the kind of dangerous you’re talking about. Lol

[@jamesvatter5729]

The local ranges I use don't allow more than 6 rounds loaded at a time. They have 25, 50 and 100 yard backers. You aren't allowed to go beyond the bench area with a loaded weapon, nor can you shoot at anything other than paper targets stapled to the backers. More than once I've had guys laugh at me for standing, kneeling, or going prone next to the bench. Rapid fire is also prohibited. It is what it is! Those rules don't apply if I can get to the farm.

[@Hillykarma]

You know, at a range where the general public is attending, I can understand some restrictions, but at a point it gets downright insulting.

[@rbm6184]

@jamesvatter5729 Range rules on my range is similar but not limited on number of rounds or rapid fire. It does have steel targets also. I also stand, kneel, sit, and prone on the 100 yard rifle range behind the bench. 25yd. pistol and 40yd. shotgun are pretty much the same rules and no drawing from holsters. All guns are to remain on or behind the bench unloaded except when firing. The only exceptions are if you have a membership not on public range days and no range officer or other shooters is present. Then with no range officer or shooters present you can move to the side of the bench in the open and draw from holster or to the side or in front of the bench with rifle on the rifle range and same for on the shotgun range. But I no longer have a membership to do that. There is a time cut off with no shooting before dawn or after sunset and some times may be limited on certain days. There is also a 25yd. indoor pistol range at a gun shop but I hate indoor ranges that have even more rules and are even more restrictive and limited.

I really like that too about jsut making the target smaller. Cheers everyone

[@ruthlessmofo]

My local range won't let me zero my rifles. The range safety officer tells me I can't be doing that because it's against the rules. I literally have to do it whenever he's not around lol

[@amc31b]

There are some ranges out there that only allow you to shoot from a seated bench position into a very small port. The thinking is that the seated position is the safest position for people to not shoot themselves because there is almost no way to point a long gun at yourself while seated.

[@Mihogan]

Loving this new video series, and it's awesome to hear you reiterate points from the book!

[@ChrB-m8s]

You saved my range day (and many more to come). Thank you! Best wishes from Central Europe.

[@bayview5943]

I have about 50 yards in my backyard where I shoot, and it is aim small miss small. Admittedly, the majority of my shots are prone or c-clamped on a tree, but at least I know my rifles are zero'd.

[@edbarwick7897]

Youve been putting out some really great vids lately Reid!!

[@jackgladish6821]

I like this format and the content. The USMC dry fire silhouette targets painted on the 50 gallon drums are itty bitty. Carlos Hathcock notoriously practiced dry fire and holding firing positions for hours. You can get surplus small silhouette targets for close range practice. I recommend “cheating” with the sling. Also, recommend “cheating” with an elbow rest like an IFAK pouch mounted on the front of your plate carrier, to help with good bone structure posture. I put Shoe black / Edge dressing for Core Fram military dress shoes on the front sight post. I qual’d with irons. 🎶Meet me down by the railroad track, track. 🎶

[@middletennesseeoutdoors]

My range is actually pretty awesome. You can do pretty much whatever you want besides act like a fool. Terry Walden range in Manchester, TN. Highly recommend.

[@Glock-Tec1]

I've been doing that drill at 100yds with my rifles using a B-29 target with an 8" sticker on it. The targets at that distance are probably analogous to a standard silhouette at 200yds. Doing that has been one of the best things for my own rifle technique.

[@Kealahao]

😂my local range won’t let us stand when using any rifle 5.56 and over. To ensure this happens they place you in a separate bay that has the top portion of vision restricted. I laughed the first time I went to shoot my AR but really I was crying inside.

[@MrToad-actual]

Thank you, Reid. Impressive marksmanship👍

[@kalanipitmon7817]

I can do whatever i wamt at my local outdoor private ramge. Steel out to 300m and vtac boards and doors to set up

[@sloppyoppie]

Thanks!

[@no_handle_required]

BRILLIANT. I had to compensate for my range by using smaller targets at a shorter distance and I'm glad someone is validating that.

[@YouveBeenMiddled]

They sure do give me funny looks when I break out the VTAC barricade. If questioned, I ask which one of the range safety rules I'm breaking... It does help when you're able to make all your hits count.

[@unmalo2768]

A lot of ranges won't bring a weapon up from a "low ready" position. You have to shoulder the weapon right away when you lift it from the shooting bench

[@blueeyes3]

That's odd

[@rodhansen2478]

You can learn the fundamentals of rifle and pistol shooting with bb guns and air soft guns in your basement or living room..

[@HAM-Radio-Gun-Guy]

I love your videos. It changes the way i think about rifle "basics." Practicing these things are making me a better rifleman. Im now running good ole irons too. Too dependent on the bench as well.

[@reddog1171]

Thanks

[@Adam-i9s]

We have to sit at rifle range but, 1 second per trigger pull is allowed, I just use a 8 inch target at 50 and 12 at 100 works for dialing a rifle and the man behind it in

[@col.cottonhill6655]

I hate that I'm stuck in California. But my backyard is the Mojave and most of it is owned by B.L.M. (not black lives matter) . I can even shoot at night.

I used to be out in Ridgecrest. California gun laws didn't apply out there in the wilds.

In Compton the only range rules I've seen are remaining seated in your while doing driveby shootings.

God bless you Reid for all you do!!!

[@rsagmil]

"i don't know any range out there that wouldn't let you shoot standing". Unfortunately, i am a member of such a range. All rifle shooting (there is a separate pistol range with different rules) must be done from a bench rest. This is a relatively new rule. This is also the only outdoor range close to me

[@samkestan1210]

Thanks. I don't have a long range here, but I can do 50 yds. I figure a 6 inch circle should work at 50, or even smaller. Thanks again.

[@Kim-yl7yg]

Very helpful Reid. Thank you

[@snailsfrogslegs119]

All good... but a well designed drone with a certain added payload will work much better and can be aimed from a point of safety. Just speculating...

Reid teaches to zero from prone. Never, ever shoot from a bench. All it does is make you lazy.

Guy shoots better with irons at 200 that some I've seen with a red dot at 50.

[@CainnechK]

Hey Reid what distance do u have that rifle zeroed at?

[@JohnnyReb2000]

I remember him recommending 100 yards in a video years ago and in his American Rifleman book. I've also seen a lot of folks recommend a 50 yard zero for a 5.56 chambered rifle, with the rationale that the point of impact will coincide with point of aim again somewhere between 200-250 yards or so, depending on the ammo, barrel length, etc. Either way, to my understanding, point of impact within practical distances for 5.56 shouldn't differ from point of aim by more than a few inches. Overall, my understanding is that 100 yard zero is a better universal zero for a variety of calibers. My AR-15 is zeroed at 50 yards, but my AR-10 is zeroed at 100 yards. I have considered re-zeroing my AR-15 at 100 yards to keep it more consistent across my rifles.

[@grantorino2009]

100 yards.

My range wont let me urinate off the back berm or smoke cigars

my range has no adult supervision.

[@appalachianpatriot1796]

Is YOUR range open to non students? Ever? The only “range” i can go to with any freedom to practice draw drills is O’dells and that’s a crapshoot because of other people there basically shooting long range taking up all the space. I have friends with private ranges but never can get time to sync our schedules to shoot. This has really hurt my fundamentals. 😮

[@johnwurfel2862]

My range doesn't allow firearms. I made it a gun free zone.
