My mistake: I say in the video it’s my first time using the Foundation stock. I remembered I have actually used it once before during a different video. Old guy brain. 🤷🏻♂️
Excellent video and kudos to your Son who looks like he might just be a competitive shooter !! Makes me proud to see a Father actually include his Son in activities other than videos games. Well done to both of you !!.
Been watching some of your content lately. I enjoy your videos. Didn't realize you are from my neck of the woods until I saw you shooting at Gadsden in this video.
I understand that based on the POI you adjust the velocity input on your ballistic calculator. Assuming that you hit low, then it would mean that your velocity is lower than your original assumed muzzle velocity. If it hit higher than your waterline, then the velocity is higher than what you first assumed. My question is how much do you adjust the velocity by? Does the Kestrel do that for you based off how many Mils you missed from the POA? Please note, I am not a long range shooting, but I just love watching your channel. Would love to see how the Kestrel works.
Really appreciate this kind of comment. You are understanding the process correctly. You use your reticle inside your scope to measure how far off of your intended aiming point you are. Most precision scopes have reticles like that. Doesn’t work with just a “duplex reticle” b/c there are no hashmarks. Once you have that, you can adjust your drop data up or down. Once you’re hitting right where your aiming, you read the mils or moa on your elevation turret. Then you play with velocity in your kestrel until it causes the solver to line up with what you were seeing on paper. Not sure if I’m making sense.
@PrecisionRifleNetwork I might be mistaken, but I believe the hornady 4DOF, and applied ballistics app both have features that allow for this method to "true" velocity of your rifle. I like your method as zeroing at such a close range allows for a very precise zero with virtually no influence of wind. Great video!
Awesome video big fella 👍. I must say that I was surprised that the view through the scope particularly out the longer distances was not very clear. Is it the scope or the trigger cam ?
Appreciated the resoning for switching from velocity to ballistic coefficient beyond 700-800 yds.. Question: Were you using a G1 or G7 BC adjustment or does it matter? Second: shouldnt you have gone back to 300 yds, where you started to verify the adjustments were actual?
Could you post the build info barrels ect on both rifles please? Just curious what out there is driving tacks! Question if you start with the bullet manufacturer’s BC on the projectile then why change the BC ever?
@PrecisionRifleNetwork it's great timing on the video. I am actually getting ready to do the same for a 6.5 creedmoor with a PA GLx scope on it. I like the idea of 300 yard start for 6.5. I definitely have more to go to true my dope.
It was from a class I took. Not sure if they’re commercially available. The woobie from Cole-Tac is very similar. PRN10 gets you 10% off. www.cole-tac.com/product/waxed-woobie-bag/
I always wanted my boys to shoot with me but they appreciate hunting more than shooting. I do believe I might have a little girl that will be shooting with dad though. Boys have turned into men so I’ll take what I get

I like the thought of properly teaching the young people Great video.
We agree!

Thank you. Very much appreciated.
I'm try to start this Longrange game. And i I get totally lost when getting the dope stuff. I definitely got a lot to learn, hopefully I'm up to it.
You got this!
Awesome video. Missed you at the scorcher. Maybe next year
Next time!
All my gas guns are zeroed to 36 to 300 absolutely the best!!!!
Nice 👍
Let the camera and guns run 👍🏽great video Joel and Nate
Thanks!

Small world! 🤙
Absolutely awesome video Joel !!!!
Thanks buddy!
Thanks. This kind of content is really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!

@@fattigla I use the Hornady to dope my .223s it works well enough for me.
Excellent video, thank you very much for it.
You are welcome!
Awesome video big fella 👍. I must say that I was surprised that the view through the scope particularly out the longer distances was not very clear. Is it the scope or the trigger cam ?
TriggerCam. And the mirage was bad. Also moisture in the morning air making it hazy.
Trust me there’s nothing wrong with Zero Comp glass. 😉
Copy that big fella, thanks.
My corporal disagreed with the 36 yard zero, kinda miss him.
As always great job done👍🏼
Thanks 👍
Thanks for an informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
Good stuff my friend., I like the video makes a lot of sense. Hope to see more videos along this type of information.😊
Thanks, will do!
Info great help thanks
Thanks for watching

What rifle scope is on the AR? Thanks.
It’s the 1-10 LPVO from Swampfox.
I was scanning comments for same info! I have their 1-8 and love it.
Could you post the build info barrels ect on both rifles please? Just curious what out there is driving tacks! Question if you start with the bullet manufacturer’s BC on the projectile then why change the BC ever?
The build info for the bolt action is said in the video. After the AR shooting I switch to it and explain the parts. Thanks.
Nice video.
Thanks!
Great video,look forward to more like this 👌
Cool. Thanks for watching.
Great job Brother and outstanding video!!
Thank you kindly

What scope rings are you running on the GT?
Audere Mount. You can find them on MK Machining dot com.
FYI use PRN10 there to get 10% off your order.
Nate is so gabby. Like shooting with Ko.
😂 he’s not sure how to act on camera yet.
Great video thank you
Very welcome
pretty neat
Thanks!
I like his scope mount is it Mk machining????
on the AR15 or the bolt action?
Good stuff Joel!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
What brand is that rear bag?
It was from a class I took. Not sure if they’re commercially available. The woobie from Cole-Tac is very similar.
PRN10 gets you 10% off.

Where’s your airfoil bag brother? 😅
I was a bonehead and forgot it that day. 🤦🏻♂️
@@PrecisionRifleNetwork 😂
I love turtles ❤❤❤
So do I.

Thanks Mike.

Yep. Train em up when and how you can. 👍
Zeroing at 36yds is stupid. Next
You have foul smelling butter in your pants. Stop it. Two can play at this game of "kindergarten comments."
