@@benjaminmeusburger4254 Jeez. Surely at that point you're testing random chance and the circumstances of the individual day more than skill? If every competitor who shows up can shoot a perfect score, surely it's time to change the rules and make it a little harder
And shooting with a small calibre subsonic, which is much more susceptible to wind, spends a significantly longer time in the barrel, so is much more sensitive to hold than any fullbore shot. Theres a reason besides cost that fullbore competition shooters train with smallbore, it's actually harder to do accurately.

@@tullo5564 That’s a really negative way of thinking of things lol Plus it’d I’m sure be done up in a very big fashion given his new location and all the talent that would be involved. Also there’s the unlimited growth factor because I’m sure it would gather more attention and outside talent each year. Just like how his range day has grown and another great example is Cleetus McFarland with his crown Vic racing series that’s grown so much that they’ve been bringing in actual professional race car drivers for a bunch of races over the past couple years.
Dikec's style and accomplishments are awesome. South Korean women's shooter Oh Ye Jin also had relatively little gear (though more than Dikec) and won gold in 10 metre air pistol. More generally, if look at the various Olympic shooters, you can see that their gear varies quite a bit (with Yusuf Dikec obviously standing out for his lack of gear and great performance). The reason is that the gear is much more about what works best for the particular shooter's focus, concentration, and comfort (probably including what gear they use in practice). The fact that we don't see every shooter using an identical rig shows that whatever "performance enhancement" it offers beyond personal preference is limited. Otherwise, basically everyone except Dikec would use the same "optimal" gear. That's why Dikec himself basically explained his technique in terms that amount to "I just like shooting this way" (ie. Using both eyes and putting his hand in his pocket). In this video, we saw that someone whose shooting experience has been *without* the common Olympic style gear, he naturally did better without them because of his comfort and practice.
people really thought the eye gear was cheating when even the shoes they wear is regulated. they give them identical ones to make sure there's no support in it.

Sideways hanging oreo, not even a double stuff, nailed it on the first shot. Humble Yusuf is won the well deserved Olympic silver medal, but Scott won the gold in my heart.
Olympic shooting is about consistency. It’s not “can you hit the target” it’s “can you hit the ten dot sixty times in a row.” These are people bowling 300s one after another.
George Patton shot pistols in the Olympics, but used a larger caliber gun than other competitors. He lost because the judges ruled one of his shots missed completely and failed to mark the target. Patton contended that one of his shots went through the same hole made by a previous shot. Thing is, the holes he were punching were so big due to the caliber, no one could tell if a round went through an already-existing hole.
He probably missed. In US National Match shooting, there are usually some signs that a second round went through the same hole. Usually it’s not perfectly through but even if it is, the times I saw it, the broken paper around the hole was bent back way more than the other holes
He took part in the Pentathlon in the 1912 Olympics and in the shooting part came 21st. In fact it cost him his chance at a medal as he placed well in all four other events.
There was a U.S admiral who went to a shooting competition, (This was before he was an admiral) won the rifle rounds, then decided to do the pistol competition for fun, won the pistol competition even after the gun exploded in his hand, and was later denied service in the navy because of bad eyesight.
I don’t think I could, but there is a chance. I am a High School Wrestler (About 4 years) and I’m about to be Varsity in my Junior Year. But myself being in the Olympics is Debatable
When the camera was split behind him / his target, it looked like his grouping was miles away. But then when he does a close up, you forget how small the target is. That's still some good shooting Tex
Especially considering the caliber/recoil difference. The background doesn’t have much contrast either, but maybe that’s how “they” do it, too? I wouldn’t know, just ASSuming.
fun facts: In Sweden, you must score at least 45 points, with the target at 25 meters (about 82 feet), on three different occasions each year at a certified competition to be able to apply to buy a 22. pistol. There is no guarantee that you will be approved once you apply. If you fail to do so when you renew your license, you lose your license and you must either sell your weapon or destroy it.

The critters that live near ranges get used to it, even at the tank ranges the deer and turkeys just walk out. Not allowed to shoot them either so training stops till they wander back into the woods lol the rifle range I used to shoot at had a few does that used to stay off to the side and eat while people shot at the range, they had no fear of the gun shots.
02:05 ... Scott, I was a member of the USA 1988 Olympic Shooting Team. You are NOT allowed blinders that block light from the sides as you are wearing. The reticle and semi-opaque block for one eye are legal as long as it does not magnify (must be 1x). But, YOU own a punt gun, so you make the rules for your videos!
Irony: With this video up there is a Short being recommended on the right of my screen that features a chinese olympic shooter using the same rig as scott, including the side blinders - lol.
Mate, why would you lie about something that is so easily fact checked. You weren't part of the '88 Olympic team or Olympic team in any year, but good on you for trying to get some internet points
I love your passion and enthusiasm. But you got to calm down. It's just a TH-cam video from a guy who Entertains us with crazy guns and remarkable table throwing skills.
On the Ear Protection mishap: I have a story relating to this. I had just gotten my Smith and Wesson 586 and shortly after, a set of nice Peltor ambient sound ear protection. Normally, with my old ear pro, If I needed to go to the bathroom at the old range I went to, I would take one ear off and let the other one hang there before going in. I did the same with my nice, ambient sound playing ear pro with one crucial difference: I could hear everything out of both ears. Yes, the left ear was slightly off since that was the ear which was protected. I entered the anti-chamber of my range, at which I was the only person shooting at that time, and made my merry idiot's way to my revolver, loaded six rounds of .357 magnum, and pulled the trigger. As the world faded away, my right ear did its best impersonation of the most popular letter in the English language, the letter E. For several minutes, my ear would not stop informing me that the letter E was quite excellent, and above all other letters it could ever impersonate. When the ringing finally stopped I was at home, in bed, and very, very annoyed with myself.
I did that with an old Enfield that had been rechambered in .308... Someone had drilled their own brake into the end of the muzzle. Not only did I become intimately familiar with the letter "E", it felt like someone shoved a hot needle through my eardrum.
Physics teacher here... Looking through a pinhole makes the image look sharper. Its scientific! In fact if you lost your glasses and your eyesight isn't insanely bad, making a small pinhole out of your fist can help you see (or if you want better clarity). That said if you have perfect vision, whether naturally or with glasses/contacts, it probably won't help much of sharpening what your focusing on. But another thing it also does is the exact same as a camera. Seriously take your camera your using and take two photos, one with an fully open aperture and another one with it small. Depth gets blurred with a large aperture whereas with a pinpoint you can have the gun and target both in "relative" focus. The issue is though, how do you normally shoot? Two schools of thought, focus on front sight letting target being slightly blurry or focus on target letting sights be slightly blurry. Either way, if you switch to using the an pinpoint aperture to bring them more into focus, you aren't use to it.
@@sloanmagnum5009 sorry but I just can't help picturing you as either a little kid or as a grown man in their 30s who still wears their letterman jacket because that football high school game was their greatest achievement in life
I learned a few things, 1. The targets are way smaller than i thought 2. After seeing Scott who is certainly a better shot than me, i realized I’d do MUCH worse at this than i thought i would.
@@daniel29263 I used to be a amateur competitor and I recognized immediately Scotts stance, he has definitely had formal training,: And he is a damned good shot.
what? that was a pretty bad grouping lol, i shoot better, and i cant shoot he had less then 70/100, even a half decent begginer level shooter is expected to hit 80+
10:28 My father used to be an Archery Coach, and every once in a while, he would use foam and ping pong balls suspended from a string or small balloons for the junior classes as targets. Everyone, adults and kids, absolutely loved trying to hone in their aim to hit those rather than the plain paper target ^ Very entertaining video Scott, cheers for the share
@@JvS1711 oh No No it is for sure but the gun part always seems like if a guy that hunts, or as said visits the shooting range regularly or someone who is in the army, would also be able to compete. A person that never held a gun most certainly wouldn't.
@@ManiX207 that doesn't make ANY sense if you think about it for a few seconds. If it was as easy as you say, every single competitor would be receiving perfect scores every time. And obviously that doesn't happen, and if it did they would just make it harder. Unless you mean to suggest that everyone who's ever competed in Olympic shooting has less skill than your average bloke at the range, which is an even dumber thought.
I love how that .357 has more features than my truck. "On top of that, it's got a moon roof, heated AND cooled seats, a backup camrea, and automatic parallel parking" amazing how they managed to cram all that into something only 2.91 pounds.
The panic that set in thinking Scott was going to lay down some suppressing fire on those Turkeys, only to have him jump out of the grass with his best "gobble gobble" really encapsulated the best of this channel.
The Onion has a documentary titled "How Do Archers Resist Firing Arrows At Everyone In The Spectator Gallery?" that might explain why they use air pistols at the Olympics. Edit: some people are saying The Onion is a satire in the replies. Don't believe them, it's abso-completely-lutely the truth.
Not random, Yusef commented after his silver medal shot to his ex-wife: "Sharon if you are watching this, I want my dog back" The man is unfathomably based.
As someone who enjoyed watching olympic shooting, you are the first person to actually show how small the target it. The professional sports casters completely skipped over explaining or demonstraiting target size.
Scott really is a normal down to earth guy like the rest of us. He watches the Olympics, gets the same thought as the rest of us, "huh, wonder if I can do that." And then goes out and films it for the rest of us to enjoy. Such an awesome guy
As fun as the story is, please remember he wasn't shooting solo, it was a mixed doubles event. And his shooting partner also lacked the myriad of accessories, and she was also higher ranked than him. Not to take away from his accomplishment, but the memes only tell half the story.
He won the silver medal because of his partner Yusuf Dikeç's score was 151 while his partner's score was 146, and his opponents won by getting 149 and 148
Uncle had a 1,000 acre gravel pit in Upstate New York and he was the first person I ever went hunting with when I was 9 years old. He had Three guns that he hunted with. A 54 caliber muzzleloader, A. Winchester 94 with iron tights, And a model 70 in 30-06 with a weaver 4 power scope. He had a square steel Target hung up on a tree 100 yards away that was only like 6 in tall. Every hunting season he would load up each gun and take a shot at that piece of steel and I can't remember a single time where he missed. That's how he made sure his guns were sited in. Sometimes he would show off and shoot with a 30-30 over his shoulder backwards with a mirror. Never seen him miss. He had a little 2-in barrel k-frame 38. S&W that we would always play around with when we slept over there as teenagers. He could ring that target with that tiny little snub now police pistol and he really seemed like super human to us. I miss him.
Your uncle sounds like an awesome guy. Have you ever read the book Unintended Consequences by John Ross? Your uncle sounds like he could be a character in that book.
They used to do Military Rifle shooting, it was done during the 1896 Summer Olympics Someone needs to petition the frenchies to bring it back, I think it would be interesting to see how different countries' service rifles stack up in an international competition
Considering that the French Olympics have already finished, I don't think it will do much good to petition them. Besides, the USA has an unfair advantage... they're constantly practicing firing assault rifles at small targets. Usually children in schools and colleges, but apparently sniping is becoming popular... they like to use politicians as targets.
The host country can add some sports to the competition. It's USA's Time for the next Olympics. But you didn't chose to add some shooting competition. You picked lame sports like lacrosse.
Scott needs to look into SDI and there business model. How do you have an Online Gunsmithing School that has no tools for students to use? Gunsmithing is a trade skill and therefore should involve time in a shop. Furthermore, they prey on GI bills for an Associates Degree that has recognition issues within the industry. Many TH-camrs have dropped SDI for this reason.
I skip the ads. I didn't know it was online only. That's a waste of money. You can get more education reading service manuals. It's kinda the same with certs in the IT world. I have a few, they mean nothing.
It's the same reason why "ITT Technical Institute" went bankrupt and why we no longer see the commercial advertisement for it on TV or social media anymore;because people had gotten suspicious about their questionable business model started doing some investigating,and had discovered that ITT Technical Institute was really nothing more than a scam.I think doing an extensive & thorough investigation;into SDI's business model & and practices,will reveal SDI as being the same type of scam that ITT Technical Institute was.
I watched a few videos about it recently. They literally have you watch TH-cam videos for the classes, and the tools they send you are junk (like a $22 set of Neiko files).

One bolt connects to the upper frame. One bolt connects to the frame to which the hinges of the door connect. In addition, the doors contain special cylinders that make it difficult to break them. Please do an episode
Whilst he was nowhere near the Olympic shooters in accuracy, I was actually very surprised and impressed. That's an impressive group, especially for 357 magnum. Turns out Scott is more than just a guy who blows stuff up with gargantuan calibres.
Matt at Demo Ranch “Aww look at the deer, everyone stop what you’re doing and let me feed him and make friends” Scott sneaking up on turkeys and freaking them the F out with his cackle gobble, 😂 hahaha!
It would have been hilarious if Scott had dressed up in a turkey mascot costume then suddenly jumped up and shouted: squakity!,squakity!squakity!,squakity,squakity!, squackity!,squakity!,squakity!, squakity!,squakity!.
Scott, The guys comment talking about getting with other content creators and having a shooting olympic style event with fun challenges for the guys is a genius idea, Dont miss this dude, this is a great video idea/suggestion and would get a ton of views for literally all channels involved, And would be extremely entertaining content for us viewers. Hope you saw the comment and look forward to this!
He is a good shot, and I applaud him for that. But at the level of Olympics, they work at another level. They shoot at a target smaller than the center of a penny 60 times in a row!
You have obviously very limited experience of precision pistol shooting - A moderate club level 10m pistol shooter would consistently be shoooting 540/600 or better on that target. Many of those same shooters would also be making similar scores on the 50 Free Pistol target or the 25m Centrefire target - all one handed, open sights.
For context, the Turkish shooter's ex-wife has his dog, and after medaling he said to the cameras, "Sharon, if you're watching this, I want my dog back."
The government of turkey straight up went around asking if anyone wanted rep for pistol and Yusef just casually shrugged and took a day off work to earn silver. Zero sweat off his brow
@ShugoAWay Scott might not be Ian McCollum from Forgotten Weapons, but he's handled quite a variety of guns on this channel and does seem to do basic research on anything he demonstrates that he doesn't have practical experience with. Yeah, he shoots goofy targets with large-bore weapons... but I'd rank Scott above a guntuber like Demo Matt (whose videos I love, TBF) for overall educational value. Brandon Herrera edges Scott out though, since Brandon goes into things like weapons mechanics and design...on top of videos recreating assassinations and "community service" like the Gary Plauche video on Father's Day.
@generalilbis uh are we talking about the same guy? The guy who almost blew his face off and Darwin himself trying to cheap out on ammo I mean skilled, yes, cool guy, eh most of the time, but expert not in the slightest
If you look back through the history of competitive marksmanship there are some truly bizarre grips, stances and things, which were considered optimal for shooting accuracy.
Yup. It's not even necessarily that they "were considered" as in "used to be", plenty still are very stable. There are a lot of whacky stances that are super stable but aren't allowed in competition so you don't see them unless an old timers wants to put on a clinic Not that they're necessarily banned by name, just most shooting sports dictate general rules on your stance with no room for the really weird but extremely stable stuff
In most of these disciplines the orthopaedic grip is accepted but cannot extend to the wrist In “free pistol” it can actually surround the hand like a glove In metallic silhouette big bore they’ shoot large pistols 200m or more and need enough momentum to knock over the steel plate, so hot 357mag, 44mag, shortened bolt action rifles with a ruger charger type grip They often shoot from a sitting/laying position with the gun resting on their calf, outside of their leg is creedmore position, inside of the thigh is dead frog position Gotta cover your leg with leather if using a revolver, so they still shoot that way
@@kevinfidler8074 Don't they still do that at silhouette shooting? It's a long-range pistol shooting competition with animal-shaped steel targets and the furthest distance is 200 meters. The competitors lie down in a really weird stance and support their revolvers and pistols with their thighs (with leather protection in the case of revolvers)
14:22 Scott does his best impression of Obi Wan Kenobi scaring the Tuscan Raiders (Sand People) away from Luke in the valley at the beginning of A New Hope.
the way he said Yusef is perfect. Just perfection within perfection in language. Forget about chef kiss. He got that poet kiss in that sweet arabic language.
I can imagine a racoon in the woods talking to his neighbor "no I'm telling you bro, you hear a bunch of thunder and when it stops, food everywhere, it's crazy!"
0:50 he literally read my mind! i was thinking exactly after seeing the first shooter, why not pull out a pistol with a long barrel and a scope? haha ^ ^ oh wow~!
I've had a few goes at 10 m. air pistol. That is indeed the standard target that you see in this video. You get 60 minutes to fire 60 shots with the highest possible score being 600. One thing that I can tell you is that a 2lb. pistol gets very heavy after a while when you are precision shooting. My scores were in the low to high 200's. The world record is a staggering 594. Just think about that for a minute. The only way to achieve that is to hit a 7/16" portion of the target 54 times with another 6 shots hitting the 9 ring. Incredible.
I said it in another post, if Scott could keep up his 44 out of 50 for 40 shots (lower-level tournaments) or 60 shots (higher-level tournaments), his result would be 352 (for 40) and 528 (for 60). That would be very respectable results, although it wouldn't even nearly get him to the German championship, let alone the olympics. The qualifying number for the German nationals was like 570 last year. And then, 40 or 60 shots is not 5 shots. You can make 5 good shots, but then do it again eight or twelve times in a row. With the 40-shot series, the pros often shoot more than 400 because the inner ten-ring counts more than ten, it goes up to 10.9 for the inner X. The fact that the rings drop to 594 for the world record shows you how much these additional 20 shots are eating at your accuracy.
@@maximilianmustermann5763 You know a lot more about it than I do. I've played the game only a few times. That's enough for me to know that anyone can string together a few good shots. As you point out, doing it one after the other in a timed event is another thing altogether again.
I like to think that if Scott was still a Trooper he would pull people over to make sure they download Raid: Shadow Legends with his link, AND ONLY HIS LINK.
Reminds of a story from a friend that lives in Berlin. He went to some protest and took a French guy with him that he knew from university. After a while the French said:"No street barricades? No windows smashed? No cars burning? What kind of protest is this supposed to be?" 😂
Your grouping is better in the second round because your hand was in your pocket. It reduces your sway caused by recoil allowing for more consistent shots
8:37 that gear isn’t for performance it’s there to counter eyesight deficiency’s. The blinders are for if you’re not right eye dominant and the iris isn’t for magnification it’s basically acts like an aperture in a camera to shift your DOF so you can focus on the target. The other bit of gear you see is the lens and that’s just a perception lens that you can position so the centre of the lens lines up between your eye and target because in glasses the lens’s distorts at the edges.
Yeah I was just thinking man on youtube shorts I've seen some guys blow out squirrels brains with air rifles, but KB has so much to lose if he shoots those birds! 🦃 Lol

Olympic shooting is about consistency. It’s not “can you hit the target” it’s “can you hit the ten dot sixty times in a row.” These are people bowling 300s one after another.
With airgun.
Jip most easy gun to shoot.
I have shoot a sniper model.
Hit 6x times in the same hole from the first bullit.
Toy guns
@@dyslectische when your real good at airgun 10m, and I mean really good, you can shoot any gun good. Its not that easy to score 30x a 10 my friend ^^
Regulation airgun, it's actually heavier than the magnum used here, and has a heavier trigger
Bowling is a good analogy. Anyone can hit a strike, now try bowling 6 hours a day for three days and still bowl strikes at the end.
@@dyslectische Cool! The US didn't medal in the air gun section. Why don't you compete and easily win gold?
George Patton shot pistols in the Olympics, but used a larger caliber gun than other competitors. He lost because the judges ruled one of his shots missed completely and failed to mark the target. Patton contended that one of his shots went through the same hole made by a previous shot. Thing is, the holes he were punching were so big due to the caliber, no one could tell if a round went through an already-existing hole.
Too bad they didn't have high-speed cameras that could do slo-mo then...
He probably missed. In US National Match shooting, there are usually some signs that a second round went through the same hole. Usually it’s not perfectly through but even if it is, the times I saw it, the broken paper around the hole was bent back way more than the other holes
He took part in the Pentathlon in the 1912 Olympics and in the shooting part came 21st. In fact it cost him his chance at a medal as he placed well in all four other events.
That's a 3D chess move😂
There was a U.S admiral who went to a shooting competition, (This was before he was an admiral) won the rifle rounds, then decided to do the pistol competition for fun, won the pistol competition even after the gun exploded in his hand, and was later denied service in the navy because of bad eyesight.
Do you think you could compete in the Olympics? I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
I don’t think I could
WILL YOU GET A TANKGEWEHR?
Yes
I love you vids and was wondering if you could get Huston over and do another video with him
I don’t think I could, but there is a chance. I am a High School Wrestler (About 4 years) and I’m about to be Varsity in my Junior Year. But myself being in the Olympics is Debatable
When the camera was split behind him / his target, it looked like his grouping was miles away. But then when he does a close up, you forget how small the target is. That's still some good shooting Tex
Dude should totally try out for 2028, even though Scooter would never stop giving him grief for shooting an air pistol.
Especially considering the caliber/recoil difference. The background doesn’t have much contrast either, but maybe that’s how “they” do it, too? I wouldn’t know, just ASSuming.
@@daverice2426 There are also (real) pistol and rifle events, including rapid shooting, and skeet and trap.
fun facts: In Sweden, you must score at least 45 points, with the target at 25 meters (about 82 feet), on three different occasions each year at a certified competition to be able to apply to buy a 22. pistol. There is no guarantee that you will be approved once you apply. If you fail to do so when you renew your license, you lose your license and you must either sell your weapon or destroy it.
Sucks for them
The fact he is doing his impression of a shooter from Turkey and wild Turkeys happen to appear. That's just funny to me. What a happy coincidence.

@@jlo7770what the heck?! Guy, go somewhere else w that nonsense.
Goose, no turkeys
"I hear gunshots. Let's go investigate!" Said no turkey ever.
All the animals in the vicinity of Scott’s range know that gunfire means food on the ground.
Except those Darwinian challenges there.
The critters that live near ranges get used to it, even at the tank ranges the deer and turkeys just walk out. Not allowed to shoot them either so training stops till they wander back into the woods lol the rifle range I used to shoot at had a few does that used to stay off to the side and eat while people shot at the range, they had no fear of the gun shots.
If they're out of season, they fear nothing 😂 they have more legal protection OOS than we ever will.
Government turkeys
02:05 ... Scott, I was a member of the USA 1988 Olympic Shooting Team. You are NOT allowed blinders that block light from the sides as you are wearing. The reticle and semi-opaque block for one eye are legal as long as it does not magnify (must be 1x).
But, YOU own a punt gun, so you make the rules for your videos!
Irony: With this video up there is a Short being recommended on the right of my screen that features a chinese olympic shooter using the same rig as scott, including the side blinders - lol.
It’s entertainment, lighten up.
Mate, why would you lie about something that is so easily fact checked. You weren't part of the '88 Olympic team or Olympic team in any year, but good on you for trying to get some internet points
What's the training for that kinda stuff? i kinda want to learn to shoot like that dude at the Olympics.
I love your passion and enthusiasm. But you got to calm down. It's just a TH-cam video from a guy who Entertains us with crazy guns and remarkable table throwing skills.

On the Ear Protection mishap: I have a story relating to this.
I had just gotten my Smith and Wesson 586 and shortly after, a set of nice Peltor ambient sound ear protection. Normally, with my old ear pro, If I needed to go to the bathroom at the old range I went to, I would take one ear off and let the other one hang there before going in. I did the same with my nice, ambient sound playing ear pro with one crucial difference: I could hear everything out of both ears. Yes, the left ear was slightly off since that was the ear which was protected. I entered the anti-chamber of my range, at which I was the only person shooting at that time, and made my merry idiot's way to my revolver, loaded six rounds of .357 magnum, and pulled the trigger. As the world faded away, my right ear did its best impersonation of the most popular letter in the English language, the letter E. For several minutes, my ear would not stop informing me that the letter E was quite excellent, and above all other letters it could ever impersonate. When the ringing finally stopped I was at home, in bed, and very, very annoyed with myself.
This comment has a very Douglas Adams feel to it
"ever heard of the letter E?"
ROFLOL not nice...been there with an angle grinder....cutting into a big old gas bottle ...man my ears hurt
@xman9354 I got that too lol
I did that with an old Enfield that had been rechambered in .308... Someone had drilled their own brake into the end of the muzzle. Not only did I become intimately familiar with the letter "E", it felt like someone shoved a hot needle through my eardrum.
I wasn’t paying attention and went without ear protection with a .40 caliber there was a vibration in my head for a few days
Physics teacher here... Looking through a pinhole makes the image look sharper. Its scientific! In fact if you lost your glasses and your eyesight isn't insanely bad, making a small pinhole out of your fist can help you see (or if you want better clarity). That said if you have perfect vision, whether naturally or with glasses/contacts, it probably won't help much of sharpening what your focusing on. But another thing it also does is the exact same as a camera. Seriously take your camera your using and take two photos, one with an fully open aperture and another one with it small. Depth gets blurred with a large aperture whereas with a pinpoint you can have the gun and target both in "relative" focus. The issue is though, how do you normally shoot? Two schools of thought, focus on front sight letting target being slightly blurry or focus on target letting sights be slightly blurry. Either way, if you switch to using the an pinpoint aperture to bring them more into focus, you aren't use to it.
That is well known and the reason why peep sites were popular long before scopes became common.

2. After seeing Scott who is certainly a better shot than me, i realized I’d do MUCH worse at this than i thought i would.
It’s odd that no one is talking about how insanely impressive Scott’s shooting skills are.
I was looking for this! I don't know anything about shooting guns, but to me it looks like he has mad skills!

@@JvS1711 oh No No it is for sure but the gun part always seems like if a guy that hunts, or as said visits the shooting range regularly or someone who is in the army, would also be able to compete. A person that never held a gun most certainly wouldn't.

@@ManiX207 that doesn't make ANY sense if you think about it for a few seconds. If it was as easy as you say, every single competitor would be receiving perfect scores every time. And obviously that doesn't happen, and if it did they would just make it harder.

Honestly is he used a .22lr or a airgun so he didn't have to reset and lose zero after every shot he would have done better and probably been on par.

Uncle had a 1,000 acre gravel pit in Upstate New York and he was the first person I ever went hunting with when I was 9 years old. He had Three guns that he hunted with. A 54 caliber muzzleloader, A. Winchester 94 with iron tights, And a model 70 in 30-06 with a weaver 4 power scope. He had a square steel Target hung up on a tree 100 yards away that was only like 6 in tall. Every hunting season he would load up each gun and take a shot at that piece of steel and I can't remember a single time where he missed. That's how he made sure his guns were sited in. Sometimes he would show off and shoot with a 30-30 over his shoulder backwards with a mirror. Never seen him miss. He had a little 2-in barrel k-frame 38. S&W that we would always play around with when we slept over there as teenagers. He could ring that target with that tiny little snub now police pistol and he really seemed like super human to us. I miss him.
Your uncle sounds like an awesome guy. Have you ever read the book Unintended Consequences by John Ross? Your uncle sounds like he could be a character in that book.
He sure is super human, i dont think i know anyone who wears IRON TIGHTS.
ps. ur uncle is amazing. Hunters are marksmen

Someone needs to petition the frenchies to bring it back, I think it would be interesting to see how different countries' service rifles stack up in an international competition
Considering that the French Olympics have already finished, I don't think it will do much good to petition them. Besides, the USA has an unfair advantage... they're constantly practicing firing assault rifles at small targets. Usually children in schools and colleges, but apparently sniping is becoming popular... they like to use politicians as targets.
The host country can add some sports to the competition. It's USA's Time for the next Olympics. But you didn't chose to add some shooting competition. You picked lame sports like lacrosse.
What, and have an Olympic sport be an actual practical representation of skill? Never.
They do have international competitions with larger calibers. Just not at the Olympics.

Scott single-handedly keeping folding table manufacturers in business
Scott needs to look into SDI and there business model. How do you have an Online Gunsmithing School that has no tools for students to use? Gunsmithing is a trade skill and therefore should involve time in a shop. Furthermore, they prey on GI bills for an Associates Degree that has recognition issues within the industry. Many TH-camrs have dropped SDI for this reason.
I skip the ads. I didn't know it was online only. That's a waste of money. You can get more education reading service manuals. It's kinda the same with certs in the IT world. I have a few, they mean nothing.
It's the same reason why "ITT Technical Institute" went bankrupt and why we no longer see the commercial advertisement for it on TV or social media anymore;because people had gotten suspicious about their questionable business model started doing some investigating,and had discovered that ITT Technical Institute was really nothing more than a scam.I think doing an extensive & thorough investigation;into SDI's business model & and practices,will reveal SDI as being the same type of scam that ITT Technical Institute was.
Glad to see others in the comments are aware of Scamming Douchebags Incorporated. I left a similar comment. Hopefully Scott will take it seriously
I watched a few videos about it recently. They literally have you watch TH-cam videos for the classes, and the tools they send you are junk (like a $22 set of Neiko files).
It only took how many years for TH-camrs to ACTUALLY learn about the company they were shilling... but better late than never I guess.

EXACTLY!
He is a good shot, and I applaud him for that.
But at the level of Olympics, they work at another level. They shoot at a target smaller than the center of a penny 60 times in a row!
You have obviously very limited experience of precision pistol shooting - A moderate club level 10m pistol shooter would consistently be shoooting 540/600 or better on that target. Many of those same shooters would also be making similar scores on the 50 Free Pistol target or the 25m Centrefire target - all one handed, open sights.

If you look back through the history of competitive marksmanship there are some truly bizarre grips, stances and things, which were considered optimal for shooting accuracy.
@@gallendugall8913 they used to lay on their back and balance the barrel on a foot when they shot steel targets at long distance
Yup. It's not even necessarily that they "were considered" as in "used to be", plenty still are very stable. There are a lot of whacky stances that are super stable but aren't allowed in competition so you don't see them unless an old timers wants to put on a clinic
Not that they're necessarily banned by name, just most shooting sports dictate general rules on your stance with no room for the really weird but extremely stable stuff
The UK has big walking sticks duck taped to the butt,
So they Can't be concealed
Looks ridiculous turning a pistol into a Rifle
In most of these disciplines the orthopaedic grip is accepted but cannot extend to the wrist
In “free pistol” it can actually surround the hand like a glove
In metallic silhouette big bore they’ shoot large pistols 200m or more and need enough momentum to knock over the steel plate, so hot 357mag, 44mag, shortened bolt action rifles with a ruger charger type grip
They often shoot from a sitting/laying position with the gun resting on their calf, outside of their leg is creedmore position, inside of the thigh is dead frog position
Gotta cover your leg with leather if using a revolver, so they still shoot that way
@@kevinfidler8074 Don't they still do that at silhouette shooting? It's a long-range pistol shooting competition with animal-shaped steel targets and the furthest distance is 200 meters. The competitors lie down in a really weird stance and support their revolvers and pistols with their thighs (with leather protection in the case of revolvers)

I've had a few goes at 10 m. air pistol. That is indeed the standard target that you see in this video. You get 60 minutes to fire 60 shots with the highest possible score being 600.
One thing that I can tell you is that a 2lb. pistol gets very heavy after a while when you are precision shooting. My scores were in the low to high 200's. The world record is a staggering 594.
Just think about that for a minute. The only way to achieve that is to hit a 7/16" portion of the target 54 times with another 6 shots hitting the 9 ring. Incredible.
I said it in another post, if Scott could keep up his 44 out of 50 for 40 shots (lower-level tournaments) or 60 shots (higher-level tournaments), his result would be 352 (for 40) and 528 (for 60). That would be very respectable results, although it wouldn't even nearly get him to the German championship, let alone the olympics. The qualifying number for the German nationals was like 570 last year.
And then, 40 or 60 shots is not 5 shots. You can make 5 good shots, but then do it again eight or twelve times in a row.
With the 40-shot series, the pros often shoot more than 400 because the inner ten-ring counts more than ten, it goes up to 10.9 for the inner X. The fact that the rings drop to 594 for the world record shows you how much these additional 20 shots are eating at your accuracy.
@@maximilianmustermann5763 You know a lot more about it than I do. I've played the game only a few times. That's enough for me to know that anyone can string together a few good shots. As you point out, doing it one after the other in a timed event is another thing altogether again.
7:14 and I can't stop laughing
That sir, is a beautiful firearm. Love the contrasting black / metal on the barrel.
I like to think that if Scott was still a Trooper he would pull people over to make sure they download Raid: Shadow Legends with his link, AND ONLY HIS LINK.
Scooter tries so hard, and fails even harder. Poor guy.
He tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it didn't even matter

The riots that happen every 0.001 second: Am I a joke to you
I mean that is their favourite past time activity as well as their national sport of course riots will happen.
Reminds of a story from a friend that lives in Berlin. He went to some protest and took a French guy with him that he knew from university. After a while the French said:"No street barricades? No windows smashed? No cars burning? What kind of protest is this supposed to be?" 😂
Your grouping is better in the second round because your hand was in your pocket. It reduces your sway caused by recoil allowing for more consistent shots
8:37 that gear isn’t for performance it’s there to counter eyesight deficiency’s. The blinders are for if you’re not right eye dominant and the iris isn’t for magnification it’s basically acts like an aperture in a camera to shift your DOF so you can focus on the target.
The other bit of gear you see is the lens and that’s just a perception lens that you can position so the centre of the lens lines up between your eye and target because in glasses the lens’s distorts at the edges.
14:20 and here I was thinking "there's no way he's gonna shoot them on camera, he ain't doing...." "HULULLULULUULULULULU" XDDDD
and the subtitles says [MUSIC] while he's doing it
Yeah I was just thinking man on youtube shorts I've seen some guys blow out squirrels brains with air rifles, but KB has so much to lose if he shoots those birds! 🦃 Lol
