quick question. Is there a difference when zeroing, if you are below the line of sight of the target vs in-line with the target vs above the line of sight of the target? (prone, bench rest and tripod).
Would be nice to see eye pro utilized tho. I see a few channels recently dropping this critical PPE and there is no reason for it. Particularly when new shooters are looking to guntubers for how to shoot safely. Flame on for the safety sally…
I discover your youtube channel, and really it’s a gold mine for me who just bought me an Arsenal and put a foot in the AK universe. Salute from France
New to robs world. At 63 and 45 plus years of hunting shooting and gun buying I decide to buy a AK 47found rob looking at some reviews. Unbelievable passion and knowledge. Thank you sir. It looks like i have 7 plus years of videos to catch up on. 😂😂😂
At about 7:00, you spoke about your breathing. Something that I teach my students is what I call "sleep breathing." It's absolutely relaxed and allows the muscles to gently squeeze the trigger.
in ROTC they taught us to breath half out then fire in between heartbeats. well my resting heart rate is 83 bpm or so, and with range noise I can barely hear myself think (even with good ear protection) haha. i like this breathe out and HOLD method because it removes chest movement, and if i fire when my heart beat causes a slight movement well then ill miss by 6.001 cm instead of my usual 6.000 haha. i like robs method!
I have had to whip out the AK Boot Camp book at the range to refer to info, and show others what they needed to know. Also, I have been told by Rob Ski in videos, and others friends at the range, that bad groups can be frustrating, and attributed to cheap ammo. So It helps to try different ammo, name brands. Cool post Rob Ski, my regards sir.
I have had good results with the PPU mil-spec M67 7.62x39. Full power, consistent and reloadable (the newly manufactured stuff, not the Berdan primed stuff from the 90's and earlier)
You’re the best, Rob! My AK Bootcamp book just came in and it’s awesome. The data is priceless. Every single page is extremely useful!!! Thanks for everything!!!
Love you, huge balls and great information. Best channel and guy for AK platform for new guys or older AK lovers. And a great place for AR guys to understand what a real rifle is.
That target completely took me back to BASIC training. We had M16A1 s. One good fundamental of BRM is the penny drill, where while in a firing position you learn how to dry fire the weapon without the penny on the end of the muzzle device falling off. Really teaches you how to correctly pull and not jerk the trigger.
2:11 "classic setup" is right, don't see too many Type 2 AK's with slab mags any more. You don't need that old thing Rob, just send it to me and I'll take it off your hands.

You still the man Rob, all these years later still passing out , The real Spill on AK rifles and Weapon Systems, Cant say over time ive come to love AK less, just more and more, except instead 545 ak74, my main and favorite to now shoot is , AK74 in 556!! For so many years i got shit about bastard child this , yeah look at me now! Haha much love fellow AK. Bros! Telint you if you not fired 556 ak , is so similiar to 545 , id say neglible from shooters perspective, even using 74 mgs too just using 3d printed 556 follower, literally amazingly no jams or hiccups in thousands of rounds of 556 even using circle ten 45 round 74 mag, tula plums , pure blacks true blacks rather , bakes , any 545 mag using 556 follower anyways , for my 556 aks (bukgarian SA-M5 and Polish Mini Beryl , again have surprisingly been absolutely flawless!
I always recommend starting on the 25m line. Necessary if you are regulating a new rifle or optic, useful to confirm zero at the beginning of any range session.
It's a great way to teach yourself what a leveled rifle feels like. Even with open sights.....at a glance you can see if the horizontal target line splits the front sight ring in half and matches the rear sight horizontal plane. Rob is a great teacher......stressing that you follow the fundamentals until it is a natural mindless reaction. 11:34
Robski !!! Thank you again, great video...I have a problem. I am 70 years old with a bad hip....When I drop something, I look at it real hard and say to myself, Do I really need that ??? If I go to a prone position, I might not be able to get back up. Any ideas on what position for me, without making myself a great target?
Kung fu - The term is made up of two characters: the first, Kung (功), can mean skillful work, hard training, or endeavor. The second, Fu (夫), means time spent. Together they mean time spent at skillful work, endeavor or hard training.
Even though you are pulling rifle into shoulder, you should put some forward pressure and load the bipod. Yes you want to control firearm, but the less you squeeze your grip the better. Try it, it's how we shoot past 1,000. With our bolt guns
@@frankopanklaric I had the same problem shooting from the bench. I solved it by, one screwing on the carbide tipped feet that came with my bipod. Or, since the metal edge of the bench hurt my elbow. I have a small rug, that's kinda nappy, and throw that over the bench. Helped me out.
Great info as always, Rob! I might be getting ahead of your flow but with a 25yd zero, what distance downrange does the 7.62 again hit point of aim/point of impact?
What would you recommend for a high quality milled Ak around 1500 maybe 2k at most. Im looking at the traditional akm not the ace or other Ak inspired rifles. Also I want the most accurate budget ak rifle. Thanks love your channel.
Mr.Rob...did you rattle can your OSS? If yes, does it get hot enough that you could peel the paint? Did you cerakote??? Hope all is well. I appreciate all the knowledge you have given me thru the years!!! Appreciate you more than you know. Take care
I know this is off topic, but I have mobility issues and cannot lie down prone. My concern is not having a bad group due to shooting from a standing position, my concern is having a bad group *because each shot will not be from exact same "setup" position* - rifle level slightly different, grip, shoulder, cheek, anything can change when youre standing instead of prone. Do you have any advice or not really as this is designed for someone with a stable setup to create good habits?
Hey Buddy, can you please explain Nato stock Vs Warsaw length and the angle between milled and stamped! How come a milled has a more angled stock than stamped?
I just got a primary arms 3x cyclops from your shop, im really looking forward to building my skills from the ground up, thank you! That being said, would it be a bad idea to split my range time with the optic and with the irons or just focus on getting good with one sight picture?

Thank you!!!!
Great job Rob, all these years and your still #1
Very good teaching video. Basics with explanations.

I do love a milled spiker... just so cool. (edited for spelling)

You're such a great teacher 👍
Saving this video for future reference. Solid training advice that I’ll do with my family.
Good stuff, Rob. Good to reinforce basics whether you are starting out or have mastered the platform!
Once again Rob, you are the greatest! Thanks so much!

4:07 is exactly what I was missing. I was way too relaxed. When I started pushing the stock into my shoulder pocket those groups tightened up.
Happy Easter, Rob and family.

I thought I was the Only one who used Army zero targets for AKs! They are great t! I use them for red dots too
They work great and are cheap - even when buying in bulk
Thank you!
This is amazing
I never thought about making the target level

@@AkOperatorsUnion Yes ! I can kneel. I look forward to the next video, thank you..
@Treeweavers I agree. It may sound funny, but, I do not get down on my knees or prone without a plan or support to get back up...
Great stuff Rob ..... run your fundamentals until it is a natural mindless reaction.
Robski, i think we need a video covering your milled mak90. Maybe a 100 yard accuracy test or what ever you would do on such a video.
Keep the great videos coming Rob! What’s the appropriate rear leaf setting for a 25yard lane? And what’s an acceptable elevation variance at 25yrds?
Helpful video for the average shooter 👍

Gotta get rid of my Pioneer Arms under folder, TWS dust cover does not fit this particular rifle. Not even close. Any takers?
