I see that you are using the game changer bag. I was originally interested in this bag to put on a tripod, but was only shooting my rifle in an inside range. It was great to see that you could turn the bag on it’s side to use on a flat surface. I always leave knowing more than when I came in. You have such a great way of presenting content. Nicely done.

I took a few pics of myself today and noticed immediately some form /mechanics issues. Def need to work on some things. Am currently binge watching your videos and noticing our range lol. Thank you for your help. I typically get talked down to (grrrl problems). It was nice learning for once.
@@briancobb978 just curious. I'm in the camp of people that thinks a level is not necessary. If a scope is initially mounted correctly then the human eye is fully capable of accurately detecting and correcting for cant in the system. Now that being said, I usually run a level on my competition gun simply because it's peace of mind. We're doing everything so fast on the clock that I often don't take the time to make sure my rifle is level to my eye. Kinda easier to just look at a bubble level.
Are you shooting through the scope with both eyes open ? I've tried to keep both eyes open looking through a scope. But I see 2 sight pictures. Any tips ? I can keep both eyes open with a pistols irons, red dots etc. My problem is looking through the scope.
As a guy just getting into long range. I really enjoyed this and the tips. If you don’t mind me asking. Is this Gadsden? That 600 range looks familiar. I’m Not subscribed and I’m going to look at some more of your content.
Somewhat off subject but how much weight are you running at the front of your rifle to get that balance point and what does your rifle weigh in total? Most people I've seen with that perfect balance point have weights all over the front of their chassis and/or really long barrels, you seem to have neither
On this one, the weights are internal in the front of the chassis. A couple pounds worth. They are spaced just right to get it to balance. I would guess the overall weight is right around 20lbs.
@@PrecisionRifleNetwork Same 🍻 It does help a lot, like by half. Yes the blast wave does come with it, especially at a range where there's overhead cover. Though I find that people likes to show who's got the loudest bang and make their guns sound much more powerful than it really is; a muzzle brake does just that. I decided not to go with one since everybody has them and I personally prefer a cleaner look. The only real benefit I see from having it would be impact location acquisition through the scope from reduced recoil. A .50 caliber you would definitely need one. A .308, one may be able to get away without.
It's a first gen gamechanger back when Clifton Reasor owned the company. I think I ordered directly from him back then. Now you can find them at Armageddon Gear in various sizes and weights.
The key: transfer the stability of the ground into the position. There are three factors to this, bone/artificial support, muscular relaxation, and natural point of aim. Squaring up to Rifle is bs. Shooting prone with sling support in CMP or NRA governed high power rifle competition proves it and believe it, calling the shot is no problem and maintaining NPA is no issue either.
Well you’re not wrong about those three things, but squaring up and npa are also important for proper fundamentals. They help you spot impacts and misses so you can make corrections.

What would you add to this list?
Treat it like you shoot 100 ,but you have a smaller target. Its mostly a mental game. Bullet is gonna bullet.
Get consistent eye box and eye relief
@@danieldillon6005 👍

@@LeonardWatkins-u7p why no longer?
Like the video - I was tracking until invisible wall at 800. Transonic zone for that load? I guess I didn't get the joke.
Yeah it’s an old joke about .308s. People tease sometimes about 308 not being a viable long range cartridge past that distance.
Good reminders as always Joel, and a comment for the Tube Lords!
Yes indeed!

I can keep both eyes open with a pistols irons, red dots etc. My problem is looking through the scope.
Most of the time I close my non-dominant eye. Sometimes I do catch myself with both eyes open. 🤷🏻♂️

Joel I thought you knew 308 wasn't cool. You need to be shooting some 6mm Acradashacreedmoor to be hip.
😂
Good video, what fill do you have in game changer bag. Thx
Original fill, whatever that is. Can’t open this one up, so I can’t say for sure. Sand, rubber, etc?
Nice shooting. Tip #6: use a muzzle brake, which I never use
Thanks. I really like the recoil reduction provided by brakes. I really hate the sound and the headache that comes from using brakes.

Any tips for slug gun shooting? I cannot seem to replicate my shot and get a tight group with a rifle slug barrel.
rifled slugs in smooth barrel. saboted slugs in rifled barrels.
Awesome tips,....Thanks fer sharing. Would like to know what the barrel length is there on your 308?
I believe it's a 22". Thanks for watching.
You know times are getting tough when Joel is shooting .308
But damn that rig barely recoils for being chambered in .308!!!
Thanks for tips sir!!!
You’re welcome. 👍
That muzzle brake is doing an awesome job!! What brand is it?
That is a "tuner brake" from Strike Without Warning. www.strikewithoutwarning.com/store/p/style-01-znz94
Ballpark what’s that rifle weigh? I have a 308 in the acc that kicks like a mule. I’m wondering if I need weights or a brake
I’d say both if you want to tame that recoil.
This one is probably 20lbs at least.
Good tips.
Thanks
What is the appropriate width for a rifle barrel.¿308
width for a barrel? do you mean contour?
i like it thanks for rour hard work
Thanks danny.
I shoot airguns they are alot more sensitive to the elements so I have to really find out how do I get the best accuracy Really enjoyed this video!
Sweet, thanks for watching and commenting!
What brand and model is the bubble level you have on your scope?
Made by Warne. There's a link in the description above. The level is called the USL34.
@@PrecisionRifleNetwork Thanks! I'd seen the links but didn't get that the mounts and bubble were the same manufacturer. Seems really a nice device.
@@marcodellacqua15 no problem. I like how it pushes in and hides out of the way when I don’t need it.
Keep it up!
what model of sniper is this?
The rifle is a custom build. Action, barrel, trigger, chassis, scope, muzzle brake, all purchased separately and assembled.
Subscribed.
Excellent. Thanks!
So Joel how much does your 308 weigh because it wasn’t moving a bit. You’re freaking awesome.
Thanks for the compliment. I’m guessing it’s probably 18lbs-ish.
That was a short barrel. But how short my i ask? Nice video!
Damn that is a nice rifle!!
Thank you.

can anyone tell me what hat hes wearing?
Bergara hat. It's a few years old. Got it at shotshow.

@@Steelcityreece yes sir, will do.
Wtf is that trigger finger angle during the first tip
It’s 90 degrees for the trigger finger joint. (2nd one) Not the first joint near the pad and not the knuckle on your hand. The rotation angle doesn’t matter and will change depending on the barricade position you’re shooting off of. Ultimately as long as the trigger press is as straight to the rear as possible, the better off you’ll be at not negatively influencing the shot.
i left when he put his finger on the scope for shooting

Tip #1. Have a lot of money.
Here are my tips:
1. appraise wind and calculate counter
2. bone/artificial support, muscular relaxation, natural point of aim
3. Point the rifle with consistent sight alignment & pull trigger without disturbing aim utilizing SMOOTH trigger control.
4. follow-through and call shot
5. shooter/target analysis correlating bullet strike to call to correct zero for distance/wind/weather conditions
Now, 5 steps:
A shooter who is just becoming knowledgeable of what is important to good shooting may be overwhelmed by it all. Since the shooter cannot remember everything that is important to good shooting, breaking it down into five steps can help the shooter put it all together.
First, shoulder the rifle and align sights, conscious of the need to make the five factors of a steady position consistent (elbows, non-firing hand, butt to shoulder, stock weld, and grip), but without any consideration for the target. This means, do not look at the target while shouldering the rifle or aligning sights. Just allow the rifle to point wherever natural point of aim initially dictates. This prevents an unconscious muscling of the rifle to the target while building the position.
Next, adjust natural point of aim for desired sight picture.
Then, pull focus off the target and place focus back on the reticle.
Now, pull trigger smoothly so as not to disturb aim.
Finally, follow-through, continuing to aim with trigger depressed, until recoil has subsided. Follow through assures being able to call the shot which is necessary for shooter/target analysis.
