    PRS Talk Match report from Norway, new film: stage 19, The Hunter

    Basically to bring a stronger focus to the basic skillset of longrange shooting. I am not familiar with any matches that allow electronic tools here. A couple of the matches also have an element of endurance (staying awake for 24 hrs or walking 20 miles, enduring cold or something similar).

    PRS Talk Match report from Norway, new film: stage 19, The Hunter

    I absolutely agree with you Sheldon. My biggest frustration with this stage is the 2 shot limit per pass, even with fumbling 3 shots are easy. The ONLY reason I prefer leading over ambush is that I shoot a bit of moving game and the windows available are usually in the 4-10 seconds range. At...

    Same match, shooting moving target.

    Thanks. I strive to deliver "happy-meat" and provide an end as quickly and painless as possible.

    PRS Talk Match report from Norway, new film: stage 19, The Hunter

    Will post some films from this match here so you can get a superficial glance at the misery that is Midnight Sun Rifle Challenge. The focus of these films are mostly to show beginners/interested parties what/how we shoot and hopefully give a few pointers to lower threshold for future...

    Advanced Marksmanship Mechanics of a Rifle Cant Teaser

    I filmed some more today. Cant was inside about 0,3 degrees (extreme spread), it was more consistent as I have been focusing on fundamentals this season. Also, I tried decreasing to LESS than 0,3 degrees by using the digital level as a guide (as you would with a bubble) and the result was...

    Powder temperature stability

    This isn't inside scientific standards, but it gives a good indication of performance. Embedded a temperature sensor inside a primed/ powder filled cartridge and heated the ammunition. The Hodgdon Extreme powders certainly delivered according to advertisement, the V0 spread over a realistic...

    Impressed with H1000

    Looks like it'll be mine too now! I only run a 20" barrel hence the V0. Advokaten: Jaktedepotet.

    Impressed with H1000

    Found max with H1000 in my short 6,5x284 and was suitably impressed! Almost same V0 as Norma factory 140gr gave in 26" before cutting. The load was a tad stiff, so will back off a little and land at something like 850 msec/ 2790 fps. At first glance, I'm looking at 1/3 to 1/4 the V0...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting with a .260

    Not 260, but 6.5mm in similar velocities. Have shot small deer in the hundreds ranges long and short with 140 and 123 amax. The 123 is a bit more aggressive, I prefer the 140. It is unusual that they walk as much as a step (when they do, I semi-panic thinking I've botched the shot). Exception...

    Hunting & Fishing Film: Deer sniped with Amax

    Thanks for that guys. Yes, the dog certainly is an enhancer both in experience and effectiveness - really helps to be able to narrow down your attention to certain areas.

    An unusual long wait on this one, usually it's over in minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1ekcJIp5sM

    Who invented the straight behind the rifle prone position?

    Thanks for clearing that up Lowlight. English is not my native language and I sometimes miss the reference that makes it unambiguous. I was indeed just trying to add some nuance to post #17.

    Who invented the straight behind the rifle prone position?

    I believe that depends a little on your geographical location. I rarely use anything but prone, straight behind as I am usually able to find a good spot to shoot from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIBBTjFBaYk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lomaBlelad8...

    What are my groups telling me.

    Does this help? Start 4:49. Longrange blog 80: Patterns - YouTube Google group analysis, there should be plenty material on the free-nternet

    Who invented the straight behind the rifle prone position?

    Ze Germans? Olympic shooters have a lot of science in their coaching. The German literature (some go into incredible detail) I've read on the subject says very clearly that straight behind the rifle is best for recoil, but very difficult/ uncomfortable for a target shooter. With a bipod it's...

    anti cant level

    Sorry, missed those details on the first readthrough. I'm a bit harsh here, but if something as simple as visual perception or mountains will put the shooter on his ass, one might want to re-evaluate perceived competence level and get a better estimate on actual. It is perhaps a matter of habit...
