Shooting Positions in the Field | Long-Range Rifle Shooting with Ryan Cleckner

[@Theriomalstrom]

Anyone else appreciate how fast and concise he is? Thumbs up for getting to the point and not wasting time with irrelevant talking.

[@seanstrickland4970]

You have some of the best shooting fundamentals on KZbin.

[@TOYCH]

Ryan's the best simplistic presenting instructor. From novice to advanced, he can have something to help for anyone.

[@briangwin6120]

Just found this guy tonight and have learned more about practical shooting than I have in a lifetime. Very concise.

[@johnsanders7337]

The stuff I was taught as a youngster by the old Vietnamn, Korea, ww2 vets, Ryan has covered ALL of it throughout his videos. Atleast the technique and fundamentals that work. A zero bs teacher. But at the same time the way he presents it, translates well to all age groups. Phenomenal teacher. Going through his videos ... he s not reading a script wrote by a team. This guy actually knows his stuff. He UNDERSTANDS it. Experienced it.

[@TheIndogamer]

I actually did such positions on photography and actually it worked for me

[@GabrielDipo]

Raihan Purboyo belajar nembak dimana ya??

[@FurNaxxYT]

Shooters gonna shoot

[@Crustymarine]

Very "old school" Marine Corps Marksmanship training. It works!

[@danielchristensen305]

Ryan is an amazing instructor. Just well thought out, no nonsense or fluff. Facts.

[@ryanfreeman125]

6:42 he was about to say "how bad you are." He wouldn't be wrong though lol

[@hunterlamca7896]

Ryan Lockwood I thought the same thing! He was right for sure

[@RoarOfJahLion]

Nice catch I was going to comment lol. He almost let it slip

[@paulhunt4690]

Learned all this on the rifle team in high school, 75-78. Glad to see it come around again. Teenagers today don’t have the opportunity to learn this like I did! For standing we put our left thumb under the trigger guard and rested the stock on the rest of the fingers.

[@robertrivasarroyo1174]

Mr. Cleckner I have your long distance shooting handbook, great book from what I've read so far. Very informative.

[@carterrk]

One other thing. What hes is teaching in a 7 min video took an entire week of classes followed a week at the range just to somewhat master at the 200 yard line, i.e. the sitting and kneeling positions. Great video.

[@JS-lx8iz]

Marine Corps has been using a loop sling for many years and it is very stable.

[@trailertrashtactics]

Six years later, still such an awesome video! Even for people late to the game like myself. I subscribed!

[@waffles05]

Just got my hunting rifle and the first 30 seconds of this video was exactly what I was thinking before I headed out to the range. And this video explained exactly what I wanted to know! Thank you!

[@mrmidnight32]

Great video!! Finally a educated instructional video. I'm getting tired of these over night KZbin experts spitting out this garbage they just read online lay night. Again A+ video

[@CraigeLowry]

Excellent instruction. Thank you for the tips. My son and I will use them for sure !

[@hdwelding1]

I have not tried this yet but so far this is the best video I’ve seen on explaining different shooting positions

[@kentjerrett2201]

the greatest video on basic shooting positions i have ever seen. well done guys.

[@EverythingisFire]

Love his videos but there's plenty of videos put out by the NSSF that are informative & interesting :) Love their variety.

[@neoprimato1959]

An excellent instruction video. You are a gifted instructor in so many ways. Keep up the great stuff.!

[@mcinnisthemenace216]

This video help me advance from marksmen to expert 40/40, the sling is the ultimate tip for shooting kneeling.

[@racko32]

When I first went to the range to get ready for hunting with my dad, all he taught me to do was zero in the scope and shoot from prone or the bench. I quickly realized that this isn't the case when hunting and I messed around with different stances. This video did give some more stances I could use and I'm glad I have both the bipod and sling.

[@vapelordthenord8235]

Matthew Esparza same lol i couldn't keep steady at all

[@angelmarrerojr7030]

It has been a while, this is a real nice refresher, with candid advise about getting off the bench and really practice the way we should be, as we would shoot in the wild. Thank you for the video and the sling tips...I am grateful and appreciate it lots!

[@janemmanueldeguzman5855]

For me, his videos are really helpful :) Thanks NSSF and Ryan Cleckner :)

[@dennisdonovan3153]

Ryan is great! What a master! Thank you for your instructional and adversarial videos!!

[@55reco]

I love his videos, easy to understand. I have learned a ton on how to shoot. Thanks!

[@intj7447]

Every video by this man is gold!

[@tobydz]

Ryan & the NSSF are just awesome... Thanks for everything you do guys (n gals)

[@ramblinwithwreck]

Great video! We teach the unsupported positions (sitting, kneeling and standing) and sling us in Project Appleseed. You sling is much more than a tool for carrying your rifle. If you really want to improve your unsupported shooting learn to master the use of a loop and hasty sling.

[@justinkpa]

Ryan Cleckner is a former Army Ranger sniper and instructor with the 1st Ranger Battalion of the US Army.

[@SnowblindOtter]

I might have to try some of these... I do pigeon control in my neighborhood, and just the other day I used a wild Figure-4 position to shoot a pigeon off of a roof from a seated position. Was probably the most accurate high-angle shot I ever took, and it opened my eyes to the fact that I need to focus on my off-hand shooting as much as my rested shooting.

[@Ryder0001]

This is my favorite series from NSSF

[@pagenelson328]

One of the best videos I have ever seen on any subject. THANKS.

[@ShoreDude105]

I always enjoy your videos, they're informative as well as entertaining. The MOA & MILS videos were especially good. :-)

[@davidanderson7621]

Another great video from Ryan! I love this guy's teaching style. I wish I could have learned to shoot from him!

[@walterluiz4694]

I am from Brazil and would thank you for your videos. So good and clear informations.

[@Musicdudeyoutub]

This is an awesome video! I learned so much about proper shooting techniques. Time for some hands-on learning! :)

[@chetan.gondaliya]

AWSOME TIPS

[@2009statechamps1]

Thanks Ryan again as on all of your videos! Can you make a video of how the military snipers paint their rifles like yours? Your videos always make common sense that's applicable.

[@RickNethery]

Very Good Training. I train this way, I get teased for not shooting good groups in the Videos I make, but practice this way for Hunting. After firing this way, when You have the luxury of a rest You shoot very well.

[@jasoncutlip2724]

Started video over and started taking notes. Thanks!

[@rabbitsnrayguns]

I love this! Thanks!

[@raphaelmartines]

Great video man! Lots of valuable info for a hunter and avid shooter like myself, and many others, thanks. Really liked the tips on the sling, its a great tool, when you know how much you can get out of it, and not just to hang your rifle by, lol..

[@gooztala]

You ROCK as always Mister.

[@Redstormclouds]

Overall good video. I myself sight in my rifle at the range and get my best groups. I then shoot my pellet gun at home at about 20 yards with dime sized targets. I practice any position in my back yard. Standing is the most important position! Last two deer kills reaction shots at 115 and 30 yards. Pellets are cheap $10 for a thousand. My range cots $20 plus ammo. I practice standing with one armed tucked tightly aiming the weapon downrange with off hand loose on side, good exercise!

[@TristanPetricca]

This looks like Cowtown Range in Arizona. I shoot there once a week! Awesome place.

[@mikedevere]

Totally agree. No bs and great advice 👌

[@johnmettam1573]

Great information, thanks for clear explanation and demonstration

[@weilandjason]

Thank you for the "pearls of the rifleman".

[@keystoneprepper]

Some of the best videos on you tube!

[@drelipe340]

Your knowledge worths gold , congrats.

[@brianlee6849]

One thing I would disagree with is when using a rest I was taught to use the sling for support and put the back of the left hand on support whether laying down using a pack or standing. Do everything you normally would just use support to brace the back of the left hand. Don't rest rifle on anything with out left hand between .Hope that makes sense. Thanks for sharing

[@lostboys111]

damn this dude knows his shit i never thought of these ways to shoot.

[@jsimo1431]

great tips. nice and to the point. thank you!

[@pakcanhunter]

Thank you sir. You are a blessing.

[@catfishman1768]

This guy is the best.

[@anayman7]

I download all his videos

[@Sjadow75]

Great advice ,very informative 👍

[@OutdoorEDventures]

Always appreciate the education and knowledge base. Thank You.

[@vieuxacadian9455]

Practice ,,, practical . The only way to develop is real world . Great vis Sir . thanks

[@Strelnikov10]

LOVE THIS SERIES! Absolutely amazing.

[@dslancon]

Ryan, do you have instructions on how your sling is made? Or have you made them available for sale in any way? It looks very effective and user friendly.

[@calisti555]

Doug Lancon kind of looks like the Magpul MS4 sling because it has that quick cinch strap to adjust the length except the MS4 has QD connections and can be configured as a 1 or 2 point.

[@usmcxx1775]

@@calisti555 super late comment I know, but for anyone interested the sling he is using is his own design. "Wilderness Cleckner Cuff Sling"

[@cs512tr]

one of the best informative vids for the category great work

[@benjamingoogins1267]

Fantastic. I really appreciate your videos!

[@juanornelas7446]

Love your videos, brother

[@danldunham]

Good video. Looks like it was a hot day out there.

[@seabound1350]

Just read your book. Great content!

[@artwebb6939]

Good content, and I appreciate you not waffling on

[@ManaBoi808]

Thank you for the tips. I'm a new shooter

[@ericb.4358]

When hunting I use my hiking poles for X'd shooting sticks. I've practiced with them so I know how to get into position quickly to rest my rifle's fore arm on the crossed pole straps. But Ryan's positions should be practiced for times when you have no shooting sticks. My hiking poles are adjustable and I've memorized the measurement numbers on the sticks for seated and kneeling. Soon I'll practice for standing (offhand) position.

[@tolismargiolas8355]

Thank you, Sir

[@toy23machine]

This guy rules!

[@DrThunder88]

Good advice! Unfortunately, my local range only allows shooters to use the prone or the bench. The baffle prevents both the sitting and the kneeling. There's one place nearby that I think allows the standing, but permanent benches make it difficult to even use the prone.

[@TheTriforceCrusader]

Good tips for open field airsoft sniping.

[@ChargerDaytona3589]

Outstanding video!

[@mahomedkhan9861]

excellent tips, as usual

[@MichaelLeopold1]

Great overview

[@northernsurvivalbackcountr4986]

That helps alot thx bro luv your channel

[@oldtimer5111]

This was great, thank you.

[@gordy321]

Great videos Ryan!

[@tabithea]

Thanks for the tips.

[@joeclark1871]

You really need to check out Ryan's book, "Long Range Shooting". There's a wealth of good information in there, the videos are great supplements, but he gives you a much better explanation in the book.

[@mattfox2716]

Holy smokes, that was great.

[@deathsicon]

For improved shooting positions, I've only made it with squirrel hunting with an air gun so far, but I've jammed a knife into a tree to make my own rest, didn't get it solid enough to hold against real recoil but that may have been slightly dull and a harder tree fighting against me

[@banditdad9837]

Ryan great job!!

[@jomalrivera6428]

THANKS FOR THE INFO

[@JOHNJCLARK]

Great video!

[@johngallo6234]

[@adamsrosales6519]

Awesome!

[@TheManWithNoName93]

[@spearthrowin]

Great advice thanks!

[@TheTriforceCrusader]

"Snoipin's a good job, mate. It's challengin' work, outta doors..." But your tips make it easy.
