Add a “no” vote from me to the ballistics calculator survey. Until a shooter has mastered ALL the fundamentals, gadget only make the learning process slower and more convoluted. Learn to range with the reticle and call wind by reading mirage. And then just shoot enough to know what your bullets do under all conditions at all ranges.
its the matter of learning and counting. math. but if you cannot count ofc you can bleed rounds to the range.
Definitely do not need a balistic computer to be a long range shooter. I've found that I can get the same dope from my whiz wheel as I can my Strelok Pro balistic solver.
That being said, it is very important to have accurate atmospheric data so having any sort of weather meter will greatly enhance your ability to get proper data at distance.
No, but ballistic computing apps on smartphones are cheap and very easy to use.
Depends how close to the target you hope to be with your first round. I like the Strelok app for getting in the ballpark at distance. Not sure how all the dope could ever be in your head for changes in pressure, temperature and the BC for different bullets at different muzzle velocity? Of the 200 plus competitors at the Nightforce match shot in Wyoming wind last weekend, not one was without a ballistic calculator.
Serious question.. Can this guy come back and do a video on how he would use his armband, metal hook and pic rail? It looks very interesting and is giving me ideas to create one myself.. Thanks if possible.
Great content guys. Thanks for the info. I stink at drawing/sketching and was wondering if you can show how to do that for marking ranges, distances, etc.
Looks like a Savior Equipment case. Those things are Awesome! Inexpensive AND tough.
Savior Equipment was the first name to pop in my mind when I saw it too. We love their line of cases; affordable and the best made we have found anywhere. I am always waiting for their prices to go way up because everything is premium on their cases we have used so far.
"Do you need a ballistic computer?"
Answer: Cool to have until your battery runs out or device breaks. I just use it to confirm my loads for my dope on a new rifle and thats it.
Can you tell us where to find that magwell thingy by TSRS?
No ballistic computer required. But hands on experience is required.
Good info. Thank you!!!👍😊🇺🇸
How about Hand on experience...
Great videos guys. Keep up the good work
Question of the day: Do you need a $8,000 load out to be a long range shooter? ------ hope not.
$8k is a little over-exaggerated. It's more like $6k. The Desert Tech SRS A1 is about $4k. Is it worth it? Absolutely! Most PRS or long-range shooters spend about the same amount and more when you go custom. There are a lot of long-range rifle platforms that are in the $1500 to $2000 mark, then another $1000 for some decent glass. The one on Tosh's rifle system is an Arken. It's a great scope for under $600.
@@ff4937 bro it might as well be 20k if it’s 6k. That’s so out of reach for most people who want to casually enjoy LRS
For 800 yards (which is definitely long range for most people) a quality rifle and optic can be had for $3,500 or less.
The rifle is expensive. I received it as a retirement gift in 2015. That being said there many good quality systems out there that are reliable. The scope is about 500.00 which is a extremely affordable for its capabilities. Check out Arken optics.
@@toshiro858 I just checked them out because of your comment. Wow, they are very affordable. I'm going to share that information with some that could really use it. Thanks!
Tosh, I think you’re an awesome guy. That being said do you prefer to shoot subsonic or super and why?
Hey Steven, it all depends on what I'm trying to accomplish. Obviously if I'm shooting for distance supersonic is the choice. If looking to engage at a short distance subsonic. That being said I live behind enemie lines so I can't own a can. So all I shoot these days is supersonic.
No you don't need a ballistic computer. You, tosh , are a living breathing example
Nope. You just said you do it the old school way by using maps an doing the math.... that takes talent. Great video.
Another great video, Tosh.
I was curious though what sidearm you're currently carrying throughout. It's just bugging me trying to figure out based on the little screen time there is of it.
Thanks and keep up the great content.
Thanks
Would be nice if you leave links to the equipment you use. Just a thought
Is that the Tacticon Armament rifle bag? I almost got one over the weekend on their website but I ordered other stuff from there. They still have 35% off all their stuff for Memorial Day.
I got off Amazon. Nothing special. It was reasonably priced and it holds all of my stuff. I've had it for awhile and it's held up. You don't need top of the line gear to get the job done.
Question, what is the barrel length of your rifle? Answer to the question of the day, absolutely not.
It's an 18" 1:8 twist. It will send 230gr pills at 1200+ yards with no issue.
Hey Matt, good answered. You would be surprised a lot of our modern shooters feel they need the tech to operate.
18" 1/8 twist 300 winmag.. I use 220gr or 230 gr. The short barrel loves the heavier rounds.
@@toshiro858 Thanks.
Boom 💥! Amazing video of sniping.
Got 6 minutes into the video before I noticed he lost his hand.
I'm still shooting spitwads to hone my close sneak skills.
The sound cuts in and out sometimes.
Great video. In my limited experience I wouldn't say one 'needs' a ballistic computer. I'm sure there's nice things having one for the guys who are shooting at a static range from a covered location that has power plugs, extra table space, and other nice commodities. For the guy who has to trek a mile or more away from the vehicle into the desert or whatever shooting area, Im sure it would be dead weight.
Tosh I was curious if you keep a small molle pouch on your range bag with small spare parts for your rifles? Long story short I went on a range trip for a day and the bolt retaining pin of my bcg mysteriously broke during first mag making my rifle a paper weight. So now I keep a spare parts small bag attached on my range bag. Has gas rings, bolt retaining pin, a complete bolt(not whole bcg), spare trigger pin and other trigger parts.
Also would a small tube of blue loctite be a good addition to your fix it sticks bag? incase you have to actually take off or replace something in the field and use those a tube of loctite would be beneficial.
The sling costs $100!! Alpine Innovation's Dual Sling is half the price.
Tosh - your thoughts on the Rem 700 in .308 as a long-range gun?
Hey Josh, that is an excellent choice. 308 is a great round. It goes the distance and then some.
It's great for close in and about 1100 yards depending on personal abilities, ammo, optics, and environmental factors. That round and weapons has been very effective on the battle field the last 20 years. Yes I'm a fan. If I had not received my DT for my retirement I would be shooting the 308. It's affordable and reliable. I'm not really sold on the 65 Creedmoor yet. Plus it's expensive.
Great! Thank You for taking the time to reply.
No you dont. Batteries die, and gadgets goTU. When all else fails the best computer is between your ears.
.....in my experience, a ballistic calc., if you have the desire to use one, only gets you close, unless, .....you shoot to true everything - which is a necessity no matter what, so, no, not a need.
No ballistic calculator and thank you for your service.
Balistic computer... no! It's a nice piece of rquipment though. You still need to have your dope.
Yes sir
🔥👍💪👌💯
DT? Demolition Team? Desert Tech? Defend Tech? Del-Ton? I thought you're passing on info. That's mighty vague.

Yes, your brain is the computer!
That toolkit looks pretty handy
Great vid. No disrespect. What's the story about your hand, just curious.
Hey Joey, if we get enough people asking Tactical Hyve might do a video on it
I'm not having any luck locating the single round feed ramp. Could you please give a link to the company that makes those?
Check out mk machine
To be effective, no. In a prs match it makes enough difference to make a difference. Detailed weather data comes in handy.
I agree all the tech can definitely enhance capacities and help with the shooter solution. But in the end if you can't do the job without it. Well you really don't know your system. Thanks for your comment.
I believe you are mispronouncing your name sir….
Do you hear the footsteps coming up behind you?
That's right. You don't. 😁😁😁
Affordable and works good? Sounds good to me! What bag is that?
Tacticon Armament
Never mind.
You seem frustrated....
What ammo wallet is that?
What sidearm you have in holster? Thank you for answer.
Sig p320 axg grip module

Thanks for answer.
No ballistic computer needed. I learned to navigate with just the stars for the same reason I don't have electronic gadgets to shoot.
