Shooting my brand new NF SHV FFP scope at 200 and 300 meters. I shot it at 100 yards Friday.

Going to concentrate on my bag setup, trigger pull and follow through on every single shot today.

If I don’t have a great NPA, I am NOT going to muscle the gun on target, I am going to start all over and build the position again.

Focus on breathing and calling every shot today….

Shooting an AR G gun, Starline brass, CCI 450, 90 gr. TNT over 8208.

Stay Safe,

There are others like devices that have came out since the IOTA.

My side focus scope will go down to 15 yards and I have that much room inside my house to practice so I wouldn't need a IOTA device for that but what intrigued me was the use of a picture of a actual range with various targets at different distances.
Also in the vid they practice prone, kneeling, standing and use a mock up barricade.
There was a brief mention of using a laptop or computer screen that had moving targets or pop ups that sounds like fun.

Anyone doing this kind of thing? If so please post your results and methods used, especially what targets or vids or computer programs you shoot at.
This is something to do during bad weather (winter) as well as getting daily trigger time.]]> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69dfKy5MG7c

This is my first post (other than an intro in the new member area). I was wondering if anyone knows of any formal training in the central Florida area. I am not prior service and have zero formal training of any kind. Looking for some place to learn good shooting habits and skills. I am a very informal shooter, but have been gaining more and more interest in learning to shoot with a higher level of skill. As i am approaching middle age, I am not really looking for combat-styled training (although not ruling it out either as skill is skill i suppose).

If anyone has any experiences with formal training in my area, I would appreciate any information you might have.

Thanks,

How do you work on the flinch for live targets and quick shots? Any tricks to fix the flinch? Like I said I can control it now at the range and do fine with snap caps its just the real life situations that it seems to come back. I used to shoot archery a lot and developed target panic, I was able to mentally correct that with practice holding on target and shooting to different counts mixing up how long I held on target before releasing. So I know I can overcome this too, just looking for advice on the best way?]]>

Basically, I want to start a fun challenge where we see what our capabilities and limitations are with our rifles, given realistic conditions, time constraints, and different classes of rifles.

You have two main divisions:

UKD- Unknown Distance

KD- Known Distance

For UKD, you take a 12" steel plate out to an unknown distance, the farther it is, the more points allotted. Set the plate in, ensuring you have a clear line of sight to it from your shooting position.

Walk back to the position. On a shot timer, with your rifle in hand, hit the start, then get into position, determine the range to the target, account for your trajectory and wind, and make a 1st-round hit on the target. Use a 1 minute par time.

The number of yards = number of points
Number of seconds not used out of 1 minute = points
1st round hit = 100 points
2nd round hit = 50 points
3rd round hit = 10 points

Standing Position = + 100 points
Kneeling Position = + 80 points
Seated position = + 50 points
Prone or bench position = + 0 points

The shorter your barrel is, the more points you get:
24-28" barrels = 0 extra points
20" = 5 points
18" = 10 points
16" = 15 points
14.5" = 20 points
12.5-13" = 30 points
10.5"-11.5" = 50 points

For Known Distance, follow the same procedures, however, use an 8" target. This is for those who don't have access to open terrain where they can set out targets, and are limited to what is available at local ranges.

Pre Judgement
• Novelty Item
• It seems cool, but I don’t think that I’d go out and buy one

Initial impressions
• Simple, Elegant design +
• Well built, but could prove to be to brittle
• Would consider a slightly softer polymer for the main housing to absorb the impact better if any cracking issues arise (Be advised I'm an engineer with a constant need to improve any and all designs)

Initial Installation
• Easily installed within 90 seconds without any instruction. Very intuitive.

Initial Use
• One wording Amazing.
• It makes the dry fire process incredibly smooth. Allows you to get in an intense focus almost like a state of meditation behind the trigger
• No more shifting your position to reset the trigger while dry firing
• It allows you to reset, get on target, and pull the trigger every 3-5 seconds. It’s said you must repeat a movement more than 1k times to make something muscle memory. In three 30 minute session you can theoretically reprogram your trigger pull.
• It’ll receive a permanent spot in my range bag

Take Away
• Must have for anyone looking to correct their trigger pull
• Asset to any serious competitor looking to put in max amount of dry fire reps on a busy schedule
• Could prove to be an excellent teaching aide in preparing someone for their first range trip

I'll post more after my first range trip post the Dry Fire Device.]]>

Dan is a great guy, very knowledgeable about ballistics and long range shooting. Prior to today, the farthest I had been able to shoot my Grendel was 300yds. While I was confident in my gear, the only time in my life I had shot at farther than 500m was with a scout sniper on my shoulder firing a Barrett .50 (2 shots) or a M 40A3 (10 shots) on a sniper training range. It has, unfortunately been a very long time since I was able to do that. (Sorry, no pics!)

Gear Used

AA 19.5 Grendel with Leopold MkIV 4-14 with Burris A-PERP. Lower is AA with an AA Tactical Blade trigger, carbine length buffer tube with Magpul CTR stock and Enidine buffer. El Cheapo bipod, stock bag, and factory Hornady 123gr A-max.

About the course

I did a one day private clinic with Dan. We spent about an hour going over the finer points of shooting at long range, including talking about mils vs MOA, angle cosine, and the effects of wind and how to adjust for the wind, and range estimation. Dan is a firm beliver in keeping it simple, and I appreciated several of the tricks he showed me, as well as reminding me about a lot of things I had forgotten since I was a range coach 25 years ago. Then it was off to the range.

The range is right outside of Bland VA with steel targets ranging from 200yds to 1100yds with live cows spread throughout (they stayed away from the targets, so no veal). After confirming the rifles 100yd zero, we started working our way out to 1000yds. The steel targets varied in size from 12” to 24”, with some animal silhouettes at unknown distances. Dan served as my spotter and we talked about the data to put on the rifle, and he helped me make changes as needed. Once we got on steel at 1000yds, we decided to see if there was enough elevation on the rifle to hit 1100, and there was – barely! We then went back and confirmed the data at each range.

We did not use any wind anemometers and the wind was tough to judge. Never got very strong, but varied in speed from about 8 to 15mph, and would switch from a full value to a half value. It was also swirling in the gullies where some of the targets were, so there were more than a few missed shots.

We then moved to range estimation on some of the animal silhouettes (no laser range finder, based ranges on size of animal silhouette/what the animal was). I was about 50% for first round hits here, so I have some work to do.

Overall, it was a great day and I am glad I went.
