I get this may not be extreme weather for everyone. Certainly not hurricane like conditions. But as I said, I was expecting way worse. Oh well, we will just have to keep trying!

Basically the weather any hunter shoots in usually ;)
Piet, would you consider doing a real beginners style video/series? Going from what people should know once they decide they want to try shooting, fundamentals, mental notes to remember when going to a range for the first time, tips and tricks etc. I want to shoot for my first ever time once lockdown gets lifted here in Ireland but I have no idea what to expect at all. I'd love.if you could create some content that would prepare me. Then as a continuation you could do a few videos on a first rifle, equipment must have and nice have. I know you touch on it in some videos but given your video on movie scene breakdowns brought in a lot of new viewers like myself, who have never shot a series like that would really help. Lekker dag vir jou (hope that's right!)
My first rifle ever will be here Friday :D Would love to see the same! Love watching the journey Piet. You seem like a really down to earth guy. Like you mention in other vids, Its about the fun of it. The little snips of you goofing off cracks me up. Future channel 4 weather man
@@superbond22 What did you get and what country are you living in? If I do enjoy shooting as much as I think I will, I'd love to get my own by the end of the year. Considering lockdown here isn't set to lift for this sort of activity until later in the summer, 3 months to try it out should be loads! Agree on the other comment. To be honest, that's what keeps me coming back to this channel. Pity I can't understand Afrikaans at all!
@@daveharrington7743 I have shot once or twice years ago. I am hopeful that I'll enjoy it just as much. I grew up in the Chicago, IL burbs and graduated from Illinos State University. Not much hunting and the gun laws are awful. Good thing I moved to Colorado once I graduated. Out here we have tons free shooting and hunting lands! With that in mind, and being my first gun, I bought a Ruger 10/22 w/ thumb hole stock and 16" heavy barrel. Got a UTG Bugblaster 3x-9 as well. All in: 400 USD
@@daveharrington7743 Also, sometimes I feel like I am having a stroke with some of these Africaans speaking half a sentence in English and the other half NOT 😆
@@superbond22 The laws in Ireland aren't actually that bad but it's expensive as hell. A tikka t3 I think is 2k which is about 2.2k us. Ammo is also expensive, very expensive! 20 box of hornady match 6.5 creed is €56 or abo8t 60 65 us... for 20 rounds! My wife is very anti sport hunting, she believes if you kill.an animal you better be eating the whole thing. So I just want to shoot steel.
Your channel has become one of my top 3 channels on the Tube. Love that you don’t take your self too seriously and you have a very uplifting personality. Fun guy. Thanks!
Great to hear those constant impacts. One or two scope cam shots would have been cool. Not sure if its water proof though. You dish them out and we'll keep coming back for more.
I recently found your channel and I have not been able to stop watching. I have always loved long-range shooting for as long as I can remember. I remember watching video after video of how to use MOA to adjust for range and every video I could find on how to become better long-range marksmen. I shoot a 300 win mag; and while it's not a 600+ yard moving baboon headshot, I did recently drop a nice 7 point Virginia whitetail at 278 yards. I would love to see a video on how you personally find dope for your rifle and get it so dialed in. Keep up the amazing content!
LOVE this and love your channel altogether. I do not mind shooting in wet, or wind, or moderate cold, but at my age now I do not handle heat very well at all. As we age, sometimes health issues take their toll. But the rainy days are OK.
I love the comedy in this video it was awesome!!! The training is priceless for sure. I try to shoot in all weather conditions also. Just so I know what my rifle will do. Thanks for sharing the video and all the tips you freely and willingly hand out. I have watched several of your vids and you earned a sub because I could always take a little something away from the video that enhances my knowledge base!!!
I just discovered this channel 3 weeks ago as I started talking to friends about getting into long range shooting! Love your content! Question: are you self taught? Or did you go to a shooting school? I am a pistol instructor in the US and I went to quite a few classes to get proficient. Is that what you did? If so, do you know of any quality long range schools in the US?
Awesome content! Have to subscribe. Love your balance of energy and info. I feel like with most gun channels you get one or the other. I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on the new 6mm ARC round.
In the US, our law regulating silencers actually does name them silencers, too, but because of the insane amount of Hollywood and video game nonsense, as well as political propaganda, most of the American gun guys call them "suppressors." On top of that, "silencer" is a bit of a misnomer for pretty much anything more powerful than 22LR, so we say suppressor for a couple different reasons. That being said, all gun guys should know what you meant when you said silencer, regardless. Even if we call them suppressors today, I'd bet 99% of us called them silencers as kids when playing Goldeneye or Call of Duty, what have you. Keep up the great content, Piet! I look forward to your videos always.
Pieter how is that Vortex strike eagle 5-25x56 working out, I'd love to get an update on it and what you think about it because I'm in the market for new glass and I only have an $800 budget
Excellent work on the range. Do any weather conditions force a change in attire that causes a change in technique for trigger pull or shouldering the firearm?
I'm a newb to long distance shooting. My range in Southern California is similar to yours (although nowhere near as nice) in terms of the distance plates are all on the rise of the hill. The range gives distance, but they do not give elevation. How do you adjust for elevation in addition to making the adjustments for distance? Also, because of shooting up, does that require less adjustment than if the target was on a flat field? I've watched Ryan Cleckner talk about an equation using a cosine when figuring out how to shoot a target down a hill, but he did not discuss shooting up a hill, so don't know if that math applies. Also, don't want to give you a swollen head, but my wife came into my office when I was watching one of your vids and informed me that you are "insanely handsome" and much to good looking not to be in the movies. Do I see a third career in the making? Thanks for the vids. Always learning something.
Love the content. If you’re ever in Colorado and want a place to stay you’re welcome here and could send some rounds down range. Much love from the U.S.A
Liggamshouding...In your great videos, I've never seen you lean against or any part of your body (knee, thigh, hip...not even elbow) touching the front support (the thingy u shoot over). Is that just the way u do it or is it a PRS/NRL rule?
Just getting into the long range game, I’m really enjoying your content! I made an account just so that I could subscribe to the channel, as well as like, and comment on your videos.
I've seen a lot of both soldiers and hunters put a piece of tape or a condom or alike over the muzzle to keep rain out of the barrel and just shoot through it - what are your thoughts on this? Thank you for an excellent channel with equally excellent videos.
I was literally thinking the same thing, I knew he looked familiar but I couldn't quite remember which actor. As soon as I realized it was Stephen Amell I went to comment and saw you beat me to it lol. Probably not the first or last to think that 😂
Look on Jerry Miculek's channel. He wears a pair of shooting glasses that are corrective for his shooting sight in one eye. If you mean, in general, then yes...I mean as long as you look through them. I would doubt there are scopes that are prescription.
My dad and I shot out to 600 yards during matches. 5.56 national match ARs with iron sights. He ran a couple setups over the years. Shooting glasses over his prescription ones, prescription shooting glasses, and a specialty piece with a single prescription lens and a blinder over the other eye. LASIK was a game changer though.
Shot competitive (NCAA/Olympic-style target) and some non-competitive long range with contacts. No issues at all. Shot some with glasses and had a little bit of trouble sometimes looking through the top of the glasses, but it wasn't bad. And then I got PRK and never worried about my eyes again. Worth every penny.
Hey man in the video you say " the bullets don't contact the rain along its flight path due to pressure wave pushing the rain out of the way". This is not true at all. For someone who shoots long range PRS / NRL style matches I cant believe you have never seen bullets impact rain drops along there flight path. It's pretty cool to watch the explosion, and it's something I have seen several times myself. In fact there is a study done on it and it's proven to alter the bullets flight. Just thought you should know not trying to call you out.

Thanks pal, spoke to Trigger Cam just as I got to the range and we decided it would be pushing its waterproof limits a little too much!
That Hologram effect was pretty dope.
I agree
Very interresting. Everyone tries for best shooting condition. Great Job Piet. You have some good videos

Nice video, very cinematic. Entertaining and educational. Strong work
Awesome weather to shoot in.
Great video buddy. Love how as well as being serious about things you love to have fun and joke around. Keep it up

Great video as always, the rifle looks amazing especially with that suppressor on there😮🔥 What an amazing setup.
Awesome video Pieter, great practising in the nasty weather, and for the great tips, thanks mate
Audio is good. Your equipment is performing perfect!
Love the Hologram !!!!
i really like this chilled out content. very zen..
'Shooting in a mild drizzle'
Only a Mild drizzle. Is there even any wind? Lol! a typical day in the PNW.
I love the comedy in this video it was awesome!!! The training is priceless for sure. I try to shoot in all weather conditions also. Just so I know what my rifle will do.

Awesome as always. 🤗
How would you treat the rifle after being in the Rain . Would you do anything special other then drying off ?
A video on glass cleaning would compliment this video well! Thanks for the content.
That Sitka hoodie is Money!
Good video. I actually did a video on this exact topic a couple years ago
Do you have any recommendations for a first target shooting rifle? I want something reasonably accurate and reliable that won't break my bank

Great shooting

Excellent work on the range. Do any weather conditions force a change in attire that causes a change in technique for trigger pull or shouldering the firearm?
Are you using the lighter bullets with the 20” just for the increased velocity?
Have you noticed more wind drift with the 130’s vs the 140’s?

If you like rain, you should have spent spring in the southeastern US. It has rained so much, I subscribed to an ark building channel. 😀
Love the content. If you’re ever in Colorado and want a place to stay you’re welcome here and could send some rounds down range.
Much love from the U.S.A
Eyyyyooo, CO representing haha I am in the Denver area
If bolt guns use mags why is the ejection of the round up and to the right. Why hasn't someone made a receiver eject down to the right?
Thats a super sweet chasdie what is the name of it I'd really like some info on it

Was the intro sponsored by Tony Stark? Nice! Don’t lose that sponsorship.
Quick question doesn't the rain affect the harmonics on your barrel?
nice shooting 👍 love your Chanel.

Is it possible for a person who wears lenses to see clearly to become a shooter?
Contacts or glasses?
Look on Jerry Miculek's channel. He wears a pair of shooting glasses that are corrective for his shooting sight in one eye.
