This is a good example of how highly individual a shooter's position is. You say that you prefer to have straight-on prone position. I have found that if I did this my NPA would be several targets to the left. That's why I have a more angled prone position. So much so that sometimes my left leg is off my mat. So many different body types and small variables that lead to different looking positions.
A Konrad appearance in the comments section makes me weirdly excited about the possibility of a collaboration video or series between the two most pedagogically gifted guys in high power today...🤞
Steve, I want to compliment you on your videos. The step by step explanations and camera angles are very thorough. Great job and keep up the good work!
I struggle with three things. Pulse, vision, and trigger pull. We’re just talking slow prone. And, I’m 60…. Regarding pulse. I seem to have more than average pulse movement. I’ve made a lot of adjustments that has helped tremendously, but it’s still an issue. It’s actually amazing how if I just scented up my oscillations and have a surprise break on my teigger, I can usually hit the 10 ring when I thought it would never happen. All that said, Imy hits are still moving around quite a bit. Every once in a while I’ll find my pulse is much much less than normal. When this happens it’s like the target doubled in size. So, there’s that. I’m finally getting good enough where can recognize when something was wrong when I broke the shot. Thee only thing that seems to wo for me is a slow surprise trigger break. If it’s a little early or late the shot will be off. Also, my eyes are goofy and I have fosters. I can see fine one second and it’s blurry the next. Sometimes I’ve or the shot want by I lose my vision a bit. I think everything is fine and will go ahead and break the shot, but I’ve found that leads to failure. I have to always always restart my shot routine… What’s really funny is that when my pulse is under control, my brain tends to want to time the shot as the small amount of pulse is bringing my sights down. I’m trying to have surprise break, but I can tell I’m timing it. I think this is from 10 years of pistol practice. When my pulse is under control, and I’m letting the shot break, and my vision is good, I can nail the 10 ring. No need to respond. It’s just an observation. Thanks for the videos.
@@10XPowerUp All the tips you provided on this channel have been a real help I shot a 392 today this year I should be able to get high master and maybe even some more leg points
I’m just now getting into long range precision shooting and this helps a lot. My question is what is that you’re using as a setup for your spotting scope, specifically the mount. I love that it’s right beside you and I won’t have to get up.
Hi, the scope mount it self is made by Gary Eliseo lafeversfabricating.wordpress.com/category/gary-eliseo-stock-parts/. this should be his web link. not sure if he still makes them but reach out to him and see. Steve
I have embarked on a major stretching routine, I understand what you're saying and I have found that the stretches I do have significantly help my positions. I also at times I have over exaggerated the inversion and have found that this can also irritate the body. Steve
Steve, Great videos! I especially like the, “Shaka Sign” at the end of your videos. Correct me if I’m wrong, but CMP changed the rules on the shooting coat whereby my Monard coat is not legal for CMP Service Rifle events (I don’t remember what year). Since then I had Brent at Creedmoor Sports fit a custom hardback coat while I was there in Alabama. Using the Monard coat for NRA Match Rifle & the Creedmoor coat for CMP Service Rifle at Camp Perry. Aloha, Kelvin
Hi Kelvin, the old Monard coats were illegal. The new coat that I use has been redesigned for CMP competitions. The rule is the coat must fold in half as does the Creedmoor coat. I have also noticed many of the army shooters wearing Monard coats now as well. Steve
Thanks Steve, my Monard coat won’t fold in half-(Monard Super HP). It’s a very good coat, and back then when I had it made, wasn’t illegal. The current Creedmoor coat I have now fit very well. Brent @ Creedmoor Sports is a great guy! Keep up the great videos that you do! Kelvin. @@10XPowerUp
Hey Steve, love your videos, quick question. What is your option of have a flash suppression on the barrel? I know the original reason had to do with pre ban versus post ban. With so many more lowers made after the assault rifle ban, is it a visual tradition holdover or a preference of some sort. I started service rifle in 1994 with a well seasoned M 1, and did purchase my first AR until 2004. So I ended up with a post ban.
When I moved out of the north east I just started to re-barrel using a flash suppressor. It does not have an advantage at all. I however believe it can protect the crown from damage so I keep using them.
I like this video but I think novice shooters will first need instruction on how to build a position: bone/sling support, muscular relaxation, and NPA adjustment.
It looks to me that you are resting, or bracing, your mag against the inside of your left forearm (at 3:49 and 5: 49). You don't mention that. Are you?

I really enjoy your videos, I shoot open sights with an M16 in .222 Rem caliber since where I do live .223 it's forbidden for civilians. 😮💨
Thank you for your kind words. Yeah I use to live in a place like that. I feel for you
I found that inverting my elbow underneath causes my rear deltoid to become sore. Still trying to figure out a better way to do prone

No, it looks way but I’m not. We can now use short 10 round mags that will allow us to hold the magazines now.
Will you be at the new england games?
Sadly no but I will be a Talladega
@@10XPowerUp That's okay I'm hoping to catch you at some point.

@@charlesleblanc1118 Yes Sir.
@@10XPowerUp will see you there. We are shooting Wednesday, Thursday & Friday.
What scope? What reticle does it have ?
I use the March. It is the circle with a 3/4 minute dot MTR-D3 reticle
Just looked up this reticle. Nice. What magnification setting do you use? Do you aim with the dot, or with the ring ?
