What is 50m Rifle 3 Position Shooting with Matthew Emmons [USA]

[@christopherkarlduff1689]

Most will never appreciate the difficulty and competition of this sport. It's so hard to explain to non shooters how much time training and dedication is put into perfecting this skill. Thank you for the upload.

[@z1lla4]

Christopher Karl Duff It's not that hard honestly

[@natshenkin]

It really isn't that hard, I've shot against veterans of 15/20 years in this sport and there's close to no difference other than their knowledge of the sport. This is especially true in the prone possession where there is no wind. It's as easy as pulling the trigger.

[@roteroktober360]

the problem is, that those rifles with their setups present an unrealistic and impractical setup. In the real world this just isn't a gun anybody could use for self defense or hunting, these rifles here are heavy (to quick aim steadier) and the special suits are also not really found outside of this specific sport. Also those diopter sights are often really sensite too, so even dropping the rifle once can cause the sights to fail

[@roteroktober360]

@Blaze Is Hyped i know but that just makes them overpriced sporting devices and most of the techniques and training with those barely translates to actually practical accuracy

[@thomasmuller7608]

@@roteroktober360 No, there is no problem. You can't compare sport shooting and defense shooting, you don't compare a formula 1 car to a street car, do you ?

[@jaakkooksa5374]

Beginner question. When I hold my left elbow against my side in standing posture and relax my muscles, the elbow tends the slip to the left and not remain in a position where the left hand is able to support the rifle. I have to tense the muscles in my left shoulder to keep the elbow in position, and this is not good for accuracy. How do I fix this?

[@kaedenmurphy9937]

I’m not entirely sure. For me, it’s just about finding the right spot on my hip. It takes a few tries for some people I know.

[@labmanatlarge]

Check how you are leaning. The lean of your hips should allow you to maintain your position.

[@cvabuck5489]

Change your foot position. Find a spot for your elbow that doesn't slip, then move your feet until your offhand aligns with the target.

[@youknoweverything7643]

For everyone that is wondering this is extremely hard sport. It's rough on your arms when standing for 10m and 50m abd 3 position. The gun weighs about 8 lbs and holding it fir 40shots in a unnatural stance you can get a injury to muscles and back cyse it's awkward. Just on 10m the size of the target you have to hit is the exact same size as the.177 aur rifle pellet it's very small. To ppl who don't know .177 pellet is the same size pellet you used as a kid in your pellet riffle it's about the size of a pea really slightly smaller and they hit that same spot ecerytime is why they have this piece of black paper with microphone sensors that records where the pellet hit on the target to show it on the monitor screen with out that they would be able to score it cuse your hitting the same hole or slight edge of it abd human eye can't score it exactly like a computer can.

[@johnstewart8849]

Do you actually shoot at the Pinkie-Nail center, or just try to center the black in your front aperture?

[@bl4cky89]

The black center circle has no markings, since the hit is electrically measured. Else you'd have to change the paper target after almost every shot. Yet it still wouldn't be accurate enough with paper on that skill level. So you basically try to center the whole black dot in your diopter for aiming. Takes quite a good eye and obviously the ability to not move at all while shooting. Even the slightest movement is enough to get you off center. But basically... every shooter who tried to go for precision with large caliber with a scope knows that. But I have to admit - i started out with large caliber. My first rifle I ever shot was a Kar98k. But I've worked the ladder downward from there and also find great joy in shooting rimfire - just started with air rifle now too. Whenever I got the urge to feel something in my shoulder, I pack out the big boys. But the insane precision with competition guns both 22lr and air rifle also fascinates me.

[@johnstewart8849]

bl4cky89 Thanks...I now try to think of making a “TARGET STORES logo” out of the sight picture...works for me! What do you set your trigger pull to?

[@bl4cky89]

@@johnstewart8849 At the moment I prefer a "heavier" triggerpull. It's set around 110 to 120 grams (approx. 0,26 lbs). During my last exhale on which my target comes into sight I already got my trigger pulled all the way up to the pressure point. I tried super light trigger pulls down to 60-70 grams, but that's just not my thing. Can't feel the pressure point and to me that feels like having no control. I also get quite some accidential discharges with a pull that lightweight. Just sets off and boom... 4 or 5 rings. That's what I mean with no control. But maybe it's down to more practise to manage lighter triger pull weights.

[@explorelonelyplanet3696]

What are riffles use for that?

[@peterpettersson9582]

Is everybody using single shot rifles and not rifles with magasines like in biathlon?

[@thomasmuller7608]

only single shot rifles are allowed

[@cvabuck5489]

In addition to the rules, chambering from a magazine can scratch or detent the round as it leaves the magazine and enters the chamber. Likewise entering the chamber at an angle can change the seating of the round in the cartridge. At match grade precisions, any of these can be the difference between a ten and a two. Using a single shot bolt action with smooth feed ensures this doesn't happen.

[@ZupManikha]

And it's such a precision sport they check the tightness of the jacket when you button it with a special tool that pulls on button and hole abd measures how tight your jacket is abd if it's to tight you gotta move your jacket buttons and it's measured with you in it.

[@hunterlang72]

No, but you have a great start. High power shooting skills transfer to smallbore pretty well. If you're interested in competing in smallbore, look into some local NRA based open competitions and talk to some people there about getting started. The rules in NRA smallbore are pretty lax so you can get away with pretty simple equipment, and you should be able to use your highpower jacket as well.

[@Tyler380]

I understand thank you.. My competition days are over but I love watching the accuracy.. I know small bore.. I had a .22 lever action Marlin Golden 39A that was dead on...

[@DarklordZagarna]

Technically, a meter is 1/300,000 the distance traveled by light in one second... but I'm guessing that probably is not what you were asking for. So here are some helpful rules of thumb: A meter is about forty inches. Ten yards is nine meters. 1600 meters is almost exactly a mile. So, 50 meters is about 165 feet.
