- I decided to take one of my fans out to the range and help him stretch the legs on his 308 Winchester. I hope I was able to teach him a thing or three.

Remington is the most respectful human and I appreciate his humble.
Remington came off as a humble individual with a willingness to learn, this was a joy to watch.
He had a great attitude for sure, I bet he soaked up so much information that day
More people need to have rems aspect in life
Learning to shoot
"Yes, sir. No, sir."
He was so polite, listened carefully, and didn't take anything you said as a personal attack. He was absolutely there to learn from you. Just awesome!
Thank you for the free lesson, Erik, and good luck with your shooting, Remington!
The fan was a great shooter! Paid attention, and learned from the coaching. Shot pretty well too!
Don’t see this much anymore, kind of refreshing.
Coolest video you have ever made. Just letting him shoot your rifle was. Wow!!! You gave him lots of confidence. Eric Bravo!
Absolutely!
The guy clearly needs a little work on his reloads, but Erik dialed him in.
Good work man!
Nice job of helping a fellow shooter do better.
I was also impressed with how courteous the young man was. Always called you sir.
Agree Marc! And Remmy’s wife! Remmy you have a keeper!!!!
@@donaldanderson4139 didn’t look to young
@@donaldanderson4139 Yes Sir he did
You made a man very happy. And we all learned from the process.
You’re teaching us for free already! Much appreciated!
yes he certainly is
"If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you." Zig Ziglar. And the reward is that you have new tools to help you get better. This was a joy to watch and I learned too. Thanks!
I think Remington has his hands full trying to top his wife’s gift in return this year. That was a awesome gift!!! Eric is such a great guy!!!!!
Yesss
Reminton wife wants a night out with Demo
Kudo’s to you Eric! - Remington will never forget the day, a dream a lot of us have!
Grt vid
Erik, you should do a few follow up videos getting him ready to shoot a local/one day prs match. And then a match video. It would make a great series. As I'm sure you know, instructing/mentoring is very rewarding. I wish I had filmed the fellow and our journey bringing him from a novice to where he finished in our PRS regional matches this year.
I do not think he would mind that at all!!!
Yes, we need a follow up!! He’s been practicing for the last year!!
Thank you so much again Erik Cortina! Remington had a great time!!!! He is right though..... I don't know how I am going to top this next year!!!!
😂
Awesome brotha you are a true patriot in the shooting community.
This is the first time I have ever heard of you or your channel. The fact that you took a significant amount of time to grant the wish of a spouse giving a gift to their partner is commendable to say the least. To say nothing of the actual instruction and expertise. Thank you for posting this, it is a great example of being a good person.
Very cool video! Hats off to the student also, very respectful, yes sir no sir!
Remington's wife is going to call Demo next on how to paint his truck gold 🤣🤣
Remington is a good and polite dude. Good for him for getting out there, learning, and applying. Great vid.
Vortex recommends 18 in lbs on scope rings. Dime/Washer drill. Nice bringing me back to my Drill Sergeant days
Ya I thought 40 sounded high.
You can see @14:28 there are some deep marring spots outlining where he used to have the rings. never a good thing. I've never seen any rings that I have used recommend over 20"lbs. I've seen rings break at 18"lbs, and had my buddy's cantilever mount from PA strip the bolt before getting close to their recommended torque on the cross screw. Personally I go 20/30"lbs on cross screws and no more than 18"lbs on rings. That and a dab of blue thread locker, never had an issue.
The torque specs might be why he wasnt getting on target consistently right?
Yea I think he confused the ring torque with the torque specs for the base.
I usually do 18"lbs with a drop of blueloctite. It will essentially be about 20 when dried. I have had a factory rails work loose. 😒
I think you learn more in a video buy teaching someone who is also learning as to someone just explaining his own methods and missing stuff. This was one of the most educational entertaining videos in a long time.
Praat jy
Call my gf, my birthday is on the 11th...
I really need help getting my rifle out to long distance.....
thanks for giving back to a younger and up and coming shooters...much respect
Thanks Erik for helping the man out. It looks like he will be building on what he learned from you.
You teach the same way, I do.... different hobby, Throw away the crap (gadgets), learn the basics, let them learn by doing and gaining confidence... and the math is never wrong...AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!
great video, Mr. Cortina. It was awesome seeing him learn & get excited about getting results. hope to see more of these. very generous of you to give up your time & resources.
I appreciate Remington's attitude and willingness to learn without making excuses. I have no doubt that he is capable of being a great shooter.
No doubt once he gets his gear dialed
Remington is the envy of a lot of people right now. I very much appreciate the patience you had teaching someone starting out in long range when you are at the top of your game. You were curt but authentic in your teachings. I learned a few things today from this video. Thank you
that was a generous act you did. I know he is grateful as well as us.
Thanks for putting that on film.
That was very good of you to help this shooter. It's also helping others too.
Enjoyed the show and the information you have provided to the all who are watching your instructions.
I love it. Once again showing just how humble you are and how you always help other shooters. But yeah, you definitely opened a can of worms for people wanting classes LOL.
He did a great job listening and learning. You took him through all the steps a new shooter needs. Great video.
This is one of your best videos yet. The information, knowledge and validation (When he shot and hit the Ram first round impact) you gave him will stay with him for ever. We all could use a hands on instruction like this. GREAT JOB ERIK
Thanks for you taking your time to help someone. Especially as busy as you are. It’s good that you could help him. You are good Man for helping this guy.
Come to Alaska and teach a class and do a caribou or moose hunt at the same time ....just sayin. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for letting us ride “fly on the wall” on this one. Clarified a lot of things I've been reading lately.
Thanks Erik, for bringing us along. That was awesome. Coin on the barrel... I didnt think anyone still did that. Brings back some old memories. Awesome video, you should do more.
That is truly amazing Erik, that’s how I got started was someone taking the time just to show me the basics, I appreciate what you just did and I know for a fact Remington will be a better shooter because of it. Guys like you are what make the shooting community great, PRS guys are about as good as they come and I guess I can say the same for BR guys now
Great job. Good for you for doing this for Remington. Your a great man and a great teacher.
Thanks
You are the best. Taking time out of your day to help someone is awesome. Have a wonderful holiday and be safe. Thanks for what you are doing for shooting sports.
Thanks for posting this and and thanks to Remington’s wife for initiating this because I learned a lot about the basics that I was missing. Thanks also for pointing out the ballistic app.
Balancing the coin took me way back to M-16 BRM training on Fort Sill, that's a great way to dry fire practice at all levels. Great video as always Erik!
We've all been where Remington is at
It’s truly a pleasure seeing two folks get together and work together. Good on both of you.
Fantastic video! Spot On!
I must say, at 65 I learned several things.
awesome video mr. Cortina; truly enjoy seeing folks being introduced to the shooting sports- and enjoy the safety first displayed and your candor and insight! I want get my 308 out now!
Wow I love this a humble student and an instructor that knows what he is talking about. Really enjoyed this thanks.
Great video! Thank you Mr. Cortina for sharing your knowledge and time to make people better shooters. Your efforts are truly appreciated and it's people like you that make our sport the positive experience that it is (and should be). I no longer live in Corpus but did for the last two years and I especially want to thank Mr. Cortina and all the other people in SoTex who welcomed me to the area when I moved there. You Gentleman are truly Class Acts and I will always remember my time in Texas and look forward to getting back there one of these days.
Erik, you knocked it out of the park again! Outstanding! Remington is a fast learner, but then again, you are always an effective teacher!
I enjoyed this so much. When you let him shoot yours I got chills. I've been following you for awhile & I know the attention to detail. This gave me the itch to get on the trigger again.
In all honesty I think I like his rifle a lot more than Eric’s. He seems like a really cool dude, I do really appreciate Eric’s hospitality, taking in a viewer and teaching hands on. I had previously purchased a full thermal hog hitting kit, expecting to hunt in Texas. So I emailed a TH-cam hunter and asked him nicely if he would care to take me out for a night of hog hunting. And all he did was ghost me. I still watch him anyways but I’m still bummed
Outstanding teacher on hand I could listen to you all day and shooting with you would me my world thanks for helping that young man out. Bless you and yours.
Excellent video!
It was great watching and listening to a willing open student, and a sharing teacher.
Awesome Eric! Great gift for all! Thank you..
i agree cool video, I love taking rookies out and showing them the Right way. When they get their 1st hit at a mile the smile on their face is all the thanks I need
Very nice of you, Erik. I love the Vid very much. Not to insta-shiny, very human. You treated him with respect but gave him direct feedback/coaching. He took it and his confidence „exploded“ - Pretty cool to see. I keep watching your vids because they are very informative and I like your style. All the best, Erik!
Very nice of you to give all the help and knolog you have to others. Keep them small and in the 10X
This was just an amazing watch. Thank you Eric.
This is great I love to see real stuff with real world opinions amd experience. Thanks Eric
That was awesome, thank both of y’all
Very generous of you Erik. I'm sure Remington enjoyed it and look at his improvement. I learned something as well. Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas my friend.
what a awesome thing to do for someone else.. Kudos to you Erik, there are 100's of us just like Remington we try on our own but watching and listening I am sure I learned as much as he did thank you sir...
Erik, I really enjoyed this video. You’re not only teaching your student but helping us out as well. Remington was very humble throughout this video. I would certainly enjoy more of these videos. Thank you sir.
Erik you are great man, really. For this guy it must be one of favorites day in his life.
Prob Redding
Thanks, Erik. That was an awesome video to help out an eager young man and all of us old men at home. Good job, Remington.
I was impressed with Remington's speed with target acquisition with accuracy having never shot over 400 yards before. Looked like a good time for both of you. You are an outstanding mentor Erik. :D
Nice video Eric, I like when people take time out of their day to help other shooters. That's what the community should always be about. Great work.
Thank you for another amazing video. You are doing great things for the shooting community.
I have been a subscriber now for a few months and you have already taught me a thing or three 😜
Love your work Erik 👌
@Erik this is awesome. I am glad you are doing nice things like this for people that are fans. It doesn't need to be a full time job, but this kicks you up a few notches in my book. I don't know what the upgrade is from 'cool human being' is but whatever it is you are now two levels above that.
Very cool content. It’s humbling to watch. I’m relatively new to the long range shooting sports as well. Good stuff,
Isaac
Very awesome of you to do this. It's the hard lessons we learn about the gimmick but it's a lesson needed. Great work!
Very cool. Knowledge is key and it's so easy to get wrapped up in gadgets and what the internet says is right. Good on you for doing that for him.
That was great Erik. Good to see individuals in the shooting community paying it forward. Thanks
I learned not only what but why.
That is a good teacher.
Very cool! I love how much people in the shooting community share. This is of course next level.
I am always learning. Anybody that says they are not is mistaken. I picked up several points I will use to become better. That is what I like about you and Matt. Yall strive for constant improvement. I wish I could meet both of you. Please do more videos like this one. Be safe.
That was very nice of you Eric you're good man Merry Christmas
Lots of info in that video. Eric you blessed him greatly. God bless you.
This was awesome. Good dude soaking up some priceless data from a legend in the game. Good on you for doing it, Eric.
We all start somewhere and we all understand we never quit learning . So thank you so much you taught us all something about shooting and you confirm that being a good person is as important as every other skill we learn in life.
Well done and respect to you...giving back is what its all about!!
First off Thanks. Being a coach is full of interesting challenges. One being able to deal with A B C type personalities. Remington fits the B type. One can Look these up if you don't know the difference. Erik uses good judgement on his calls to help Remington. A good coach will always use the KISS method on equipment setup and use a shot sequence. He or she will will also help you learn to coach yourself . Last a good coach will never teach you what your doing wrong. Just a proper shot. Great Job Erik
Yup. And not all coaches are a good fit with all students/athletes. Doesn't make you a bad coach just because you didn't jive with your first student.
@@wilfdarr Correct. That why in apprenticeships you don't spend you time with one journeyman. But a good coach will find help for his student and not just take your money
Awesome stuff man! Its so hard to teach someone out of the blue and still be cool. Both of you did a good job in this video!
This guy is so down to earth and humble. Made me feel bad when he was ragged on. I like people like him that drops the ego with a open mind to learn. You don't meet many people like that in the shooting community.
Watched it to the end. Lots of good information and I’m now going to have to learn how to use the Geo Ballistics app. I have downloaded it to my phone already.
Thank you Erik
His Christmas present ended up being a present for all of us. You have a true talent for teaching. Please take time to show more of these if you end up teaching others. Not everyone has the ability to effectively communicate what needs to be done, but you sir have teaching down to where it makes learning fun.
Oh boy now you started something nice, what a champ, more time spent shooting makes you a better shooter, as long as you have good equipment and good fundamentals, what a great teacher, good luck 308 guy.
as a new prs style shooter this is the best video. This just proves again that Mr Cortina is just like other shooter ive dealt with, will teach you, help you and then let you run their gear. I really enjoy long range shooting and the people.
I’m glad you were able to do that for Remington Erik. He learned a lot in a little bit and I hope he was able to retain that knowledge.....if I was him, I’d be on forums reading and researching a bunch or at least contact you for any questions he may have. First thing is how to role quality ammo and load development for those shots, second would be to at least get a weather meter for wind and then third, trigger time, he seemed uncomfortable although I’d say I would be too if I had to shoot around you Erik!! Great job!
Nicely done.
You got a good long video out of it to post for the rest of us, and Remington will never forget those couple of hours.
Great content. Keep up the great job. Love to see more.
Now nobody else needs to ask you for a one on one lesson with you. You covered a lot for me to take at least. Thanks for doing this Erik and all the other content that you take time to share with us. You’re a good man! Best of luck Remington😂👍🏻
Hey Eric, new subscriber here. Thank you for taking the time to teach ALL of us newbies about proper shooting techniques. Your demeanor and generosity is a gift to the sport.
I was this young guy, even though I’m old enough to be his dad! A friend of mine named Todd Baker walked me down this path at a 600 yard range! I shot my stuff, then his! We weren’t even on the same planet! Todd’s equipment was amazing, but it was his teaching that was most amazing! This one on one teaching is the bomb. Don’t know if you(Eric) felt like you were wasting your time when you easily could have been doing something else, but brother this is what new longe range shooters need! You can’t even put a price on it! Even if the young man picked up on only 1/4 of the critiques you gave, he is a richer young man now for sure😇
Thank you Erick for the hard work and the amount off work the you do for the love of the sport and to give all of us so much of your knowledge we know the is a lot of work film all this and have a life around it but all of us thank you so much for all what you do to teach us to be a better shooters THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART and Merry Christmas for you and you family
Refreshing to see such a respectful demeanor and enthusiastic attentive focus payed to the instructor by the student. Nowadays it's getting rarer than it should be, and I just wish this was the norm, and not the exception. Great video with a lot of practical knowledge straight from an OG.
I stumbled across your reloading videos. But this is way more information than I thought I would get out of it.
It is awesome that you are out there teaching individuals how to shoot better. I know that I can use some of that information to improve my skills as well. Thank you!
A few easy things for everybody to do: DONT skip the basics, slow down and don't shoot until your ready and repeatability! This is what I learned and that has nothing to do with the type of riffle, the brand of riffle or your skill level! Good information!!
Thanks for taking the time to work with Remington. Just watching and listening to your directions it helps me connect dots in my shooting. Great job!
Thanks this was great. I love the safety consciousness.
I learned so much on this video. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you! Remington, you are an excellent student and put constructive criticism to use very well. Erik, I’m sure that was all just simple basics to you, but coming from someone who is self taught and never had anyone to show me right or wrong technique, you made it very easy to self improve. You don’t know what you don’t know until you find it or someone tells you. Thank you for sharing!
Respectful young man - what a pleasure to see. Had to be enjoyable for Erik to deal with someone this good at shooting and learning.
