- Our Precision Rifle Shooting for Beginners series breaks up the long range shooting fundamentals into 2 individual lessons and a practical refinement video:
Part 1: Stable Position & Sight Picture
Some things we cover:
-How to achieve the ideal prone position, and tips to help make it feel more natural
-Loading the bipod with static body weight
-Length of pull and why it’s important
-Setting up your scope and rifle for a relaxed body position and natural point of aim
Part 2: Trigger Control & Breathing
Video Found: • Precision Rifle Shooti...
Some things we cover:
-Dry Fire Practice
-The importance of follow through
-Building muscle memory with breathing
-Consistency is accuracy
-Live fire practice
Part 3: Practical Refinement - Implementation of what you've learned

Not an easy task asking trainees to do something more then once and they still don’t do what you ask them. Alternative routes
1) pull out bull whip and flog them (legal action might be triggered)
2) water pistol so they end up with a wet trouser leg (legal action might be triggered)
3) send them down range to hold the targets up to be shot at. ( legal action maybe triggered unless they signed the waiver)😂
Coaching is not easy. Good video.

Keeping your feet flat when prone doesn't effect shots much. I do it personally, but most of the people I shoot with at 330-870 yards from prone don't. Some cross their legs, or have one bent over the other, some dig into the ground, etc. Comfort makes for a better and more repeatable natural point of aim. You very rarely find flat ground. We shoot from slightly angled mounds.
Experienced shooters can do whatever they want. New shooter need to be told something specific about everything or else the class will always annoyingly spirals back to something vaguely mentioned from the first hour of class.
Man, I've been looking for videos like this for a while. Thank you for putting this kind of info out there for us mortals to learn.
Same! I haven't been to the range in a while but I wanted a refresher for how to setup my rifle. I'm glad MDT produced this series.

Great video!
i would also like to see this video also done with a traditional wood stock? Surely another video from somebody somewhere may exist upon the internet?
Would these techniques apply to a rifle slug gun for deer hunting or would you need to hold that gun tighter?
Nice.. subbed.
Very informative video! Thanks a lot!
Excellent information.
Excellent video!
Fundamental 😂 Biden favorite word 🤪😜

No disagreement but starting out in prone sling supported position will help the shooter come to understand and apply the elements of a good position: bone/artificial support, muscular relaxation, and natural point of aim. This is important to recognize where the rifle is naturally pointed and adjust it to get minimum arc of movement and consistent recoil resistance, to better assure aim is not disturbed. The sling supported position also assures the position will not be too low to maintain consistent sight alignment, which is very important to prevent angular error that increases with distance.
you make great points but the type of shooting they are training and learning is different. They are learning specifically long range competition style shooting. If it was a fighting application, id agree 100% with you :D
Name a modern long range bolt action rifle that wouldn't be used with a bipod from prone? Even from sitting or crouched you would utilise shooting sticks or tripod. Learning how to front load a bipod or support with your own weight and minimal stress on your body is far more important than sling shooting. Slings are great and useful, but aren't as important.
@@BiggBellsI am both a Military Rifle Instructor as well as NRA Long Range High Master Competitor. Always learn the sling supported position first because it forces an understanding for natural point of aim, which a bipod position does not. And if the shooter does not have exacting NPA then recoil resistance will be inconsistent and thus long range groupings will not go to point of aim.
@@emorelixnope, understanding sling support is paramount to good shooting.
@@charlesludwig9173hate to break it to you sir but your style of shooting is pretty slow, old fashioned and obsolete 😅 go try shooting a PRS match or similar and see how you do, i dont think it will go well for you since alot of those skills you learned does not carry over 😅 times are changing 😅

I have had major back surgery when I was a teen, my back doesn’t bend. I can’t do a prone position.
You gotta give her a little bit more attention. She likes it
All good except, wrong wrong handed rifles ! Right handed person needs left handed bolt action rifles! Right hand on grip pulls trigger, never let go!! Left hand works bolt and mag changes and scope doping. Pull down with left hand under scope for shot, adds 5/10 lbs to rifle to reduce recoil. Keep open mind and try my way. Releasing grip on rifle every shot to work bolt is wrong! Driving a stick shift vehicle do you grab your sack with your left hand while steering and shifting gears with right hand only?
Sounds like personal preference, as a right handed shooter who isn't trying to single handedly fight off and army, I will stick with right handed gun.
If you show me a single top 20 ranked PRS shooter (or not even PRS, I’ll take ANY competitive long range circuit) who shoots opposite hand, I will buy you any trigger under $300.
Left handed bolts are really more of a concern for shooting a bolt gun quickly. Right handed bolts are actually better for maintaining sight picture. The left hand is supporting the stock. So reaching it up for a left handed bolt every time you shoot disrupts your shooting position more.
Edit: I see that you use your left hand under the scope rather than on the base of the stock. Thats definitely not wrong and can help to reduce recoil. But again, it’s geared more towards shooting for speed. There is less input on the rifle when the left hand is supporting the stock instead. Generally this leads to less weapon sway. So, you can be accurate either way and you can be fast either way. But generally speaking, the methods taught in this video lead to better accuracy and the methods you are recommending lead to better speed.
What a mistake we all made listening to our highly qualified coaches! Let's listen to this keyboard warrior who has won nothing in any shooting discipline.
@SST610 notice, I never told others what to do. I stated my personal choice. I said what I would do
