I learned more from this video than I did in 12 years of public school. 😂

[@firefightszz]

That’s public school for you😅

[@jimmybrodriguez]

Ejuhmicated

[@Thisthat1234]

This comments is so funny lmaooo 🤣🤣

[@iPervy]

Seriously. All these years and its only now I learn 50+200=0.

[@sliderofelay]

@@iPervy yeah, you got to go to college for that kind of maths.

[@waynedowney7616]

The 550 cord bipod hack is CLUTCH MONEY! Worth the price of admission right there.

[@gary6212]

The most information dense 28 minutes on the internet - no fat, all meat - great stuff!

After 30 years of shooting I know most of this already, but he presents it fast and acquirable. Great teacher!

[@thomasmarchese2808]

Pretentious and attention seeking ain’t it. Could have just said he presented the information well and not arbitrarily patted yourself on the back. Weird.

[@bigk5746]

​@@thomasmarchese2808Not to mention, things like offset dots, LPVO's, and the SPR concept wasn't really around 30 years ago but he already knew most of it lol

[@racerdude888]

No matter how much you think you know, a video like this can teach you a couple more things

[@beefsupreme5886]

Or people like me who don’t know shit about shooting the AR, we learn a ton

[@eagleputter64]

then you hear him say the say system is whatever...

[@ar15singh]

T5​@@eagleputter64

[@arlogriggs6652]

This guy is no joke you best listen up and pay attention. A excellent instructor period.

[@ordinary_american]

[@jimmybrodriguez]

You're going to mess around and get hired to do my descriptions lol

[@ordinary_american]

@@jimmybrodriguez Haha, but seriously hmu if I can help. Thanks for the good vibes and for always taking us along to these awesome classes and events.

[@alexblaska9802]

I put an accupoint 3x9 with triangle reticle. Plan todo a mpbr zero on it, but possibly shouldn’t have bought that reticle. On the other side i think it will fit the gun well.

[@mattsterpiecenjmaflva9956]

This is outstanding, cannot wait for the second episode!!!

[@ntxCobb]

This was an amazing and informative video! For sure adding this class to the list.

[@coyotetacticalsolutions]

Been shooting for a long ass time and never seen that trick of shining light through the objective lens. Going to keep that in my bag of tricks. Nice work gents.

[@silvermediastudio]

Old school technique. Also used for checking plumb (hang a plumb bob/weighted string on the wall and project the light through, the shadow from the reticle should align with the plumb bob).

[@codybyers7167]

Very informative and awesome instructor. Cant wait for pt 2

[@christophallen8859]

I learned so much and confirmed what I thought in my recent SPR build. Thank you for much for this. Definitely looking forward to the next video.

[@1953Greyfox]

I have listen to many video's regarding setting up a Rifle. You have made it so easy and simple to understand. Thank You

[@wonderbubble3980]

Extremely useful video, thank you. Definitely the best and most concise rundown on an SPR setup that I've seen yet.

[@VP_IWI]

Such a wealth of knowledge both instructors are.

[@Ripper13F1V]

This is sooo excelent. Thanks for posting!

[@southernexposure6855]

The Ranch. Love that place. That tower is one of the best long range set ups I’ve shot from out to 1000yrds. He was talking fast but was easy to follow. Ton of good info

[@XxxAtlantaxxX]

This MAN speaking clearly has a compendium of knowledge on an SPR. You can hear it in his voice and he just keeps flowing. I would have been pausing him every 30 seconds jotting down whatever I could remember and he'd already be steps ahead.

[@nh2a]

Alex killing the breakdown and representing NH

[@sk21rt54]

That was amazing. Thank you!!

[@jonwebsterabbott]

Would love to see more of his line 1 setup

[@jimmybrodriguez]

Maybe we can make that happen in the future

[@jonwebsterabbott]

@@jimmybrodriguez That would be awesome. Everyone says a DM is a good thing to have in the squad but no one to my knowledge has listed the kit for one.

[@007TheStfu007]

@@jonwebsterabbott I agree with you 100%, would love to see the whole kit

[@Mbalta001]

Wow - great rundown!

[@ricksmith7232]

This dude is a vast wealth of knowledge. Thanks for sharing!

[@DCASTRO502]

Digging these informative SPR series videos. Super helpful and answered a lot of my own questions. Thanks for doing them 👍

[@victimsvice2416]

Wow… I need to train here! So detailed and taught in he best way.

[@tjs201971]

Big thank you for sharing this great video!! It was very informative in SPR setup and what not do!

[@bobbyfreeman8345]

Great content 👍 so much info to digest but relayed in a way that is palatable

[@lucascourtney4479]

This guy is an amazing teacher.

[@TCat-ve9qi]

This dude is the most true world knowledge, no BS I have ever seen. Amazing instructions

[@iamthejosh2]

Good lord. Dude is killing it.

[@sgator18]

One of the best you’ve done to date.

[@jimmybrodriguez]

[@jblume3rd]

Amazing instructor- excellent delivery

[@nexthubbins]

WoW. Drinking from the Firehose here. Will be playing a few more times AND Taking Notes. And saving for the class. Thank You for the material here.

[@paulhathaway6292]

Ridgeline instructors are phenomenal. Like drinking from a firehose every time I go to their facility but so much fun and they make shooters.

[@tysonkahler]

Holy crap! That was a TON of great information!

[@BlackdogADV]

Very excellent. I know a fair amount but still learned a few things. I love to attend one of his courses.

[@prone_wolf8871]

He seems like a very knowledgeable and solid dude.

[@TheCivilWarriorProj]

Thank you. That was awesome.

[@chuckb3489]

Dang bro, this is gold. Thank you for sharing.

[@anjelmunoz804]

Good intel and great commentary in one solid video. The instructor seems very phenomenal.

[@tororosso7046]

I've taken classes all over Texas, and Alex came down for a one-day class for TTPOA. Hands down one of the best classes and instructors I have come across.

[@mikeevansgutierrezcasanas6234]

Videos like this would show the little you know about the entire spectrum. Humbles you.

[@AdventureOne]

This dude knows his shit and presents it well and quickly. Bravo.

[@BanditoCGET]

The parallax trick is super cool!

[@operatpoor9445]

Damn it man. Another dope instructor that I need to take a class film added to the list.

[@jimmybrodriguez]

Yes would highly recommend. I’m going to try to get out to a couple more of his courses

[@darth_1]

This dude is awesome. This is amazing knowledge. So thank you!

[@jimmybrodriguez]

Yup Alex and Jared were great

[@wvuxxx]

This video is straight info, no fluff!

[@gigshare3947]

This vid is the gold standard of it's category/topic

[@jrinstall27]

Alex and the rest of the instructors out at Ridgeline are amazing instructors with a ton of experience. Definitely recommend yall go out there and train if you can.

[@Upper_Room_Studios]

Great vid! More like this, please!

[@jimmybrodriguez]

I’ve got more stuff in the works

[@EasyGravy420]

Alex is such a chill dude.

[@TerrioTheDon]

This video is so informative

[@StrollaLawDefense]

A complete long range 1 class, in less than 30 minutes. Nice! Great knowledge transfer

[@silvermediastudio]

Medium range.

[@eliasbonilla8087]

Great Detail Thank You 🙏🏼

[@Florida_War_Tribe]

Great video and a ton of information

[@alexplechash7560]

This video convinced me to attend a class at Ridgeline with him as an instructor.

[@knewsome69]

Nice lecture!! Thank you!

[@mskochinski]

Holy shit, talk about going back to school for things I thought I knew. Thanks for sharing that. Really insightful, God bless our marines thank goodness they are on our side!

[@elitecombatfitnesscentral6170]

This is a great video can't wait for the next Parts I wish there was a transcript because he talks so fast and I know he's dropping some great information.

[@candyman__87]

And suddenly Ridgeline's Scoped Carbine is #1 on my list for 2023!

[@JayAgave]

Love those Dallas hats, ordered one when I visited home and seen a guy with one. Most colors were sold out

[@brazzy1467]

I'm gonna have to take a class with these guys.

[@normwilson117]

“As I was…” haven’t heard that in a while; good stuff

[@Mike-ij5jm]

dude, super interesting about using eye relief and scope shadow to swag parallax in lieu of an external adjustment.

[@maxfortune4466]

This guy knows his stuff.

[@Andez182]

“I looked right, I looked left…I could not find a VTAC barricade.” 😂

Good shit, lots of knowledge here.

[@tim_tilson]

[@jangofett5806]

Great video once again, really liked the paracord technique for speed trying to slow the video down so I can see how he actually rigged it. 😂

[@WallStreet06]

fantastic instructor. teach me more.

[@alvaroeloredo]

Omg this guy is a fountain of knowledge, I will be seeking him out in the near future for training. Thank you Jim.

[@kalanipitmon7817]

Endplate and first rail section best sling option for maneuverability

[@josephlong7420]

Daum, drinking from a fire hose but we'll worth it. Thank you for posting this, it's priceless info.

[@northpointaxe6167]

As an old man, hearing this makes me all nostalgic for Lejeune's DCSC classes. Good times, good days. Wishing civilian life was as focused and ordered.

[@firstimeshooter6590]

Geeeezzzz that was a lot of useful info in a short video.
