This video was actually using the internal mic on the camera. No way to put a windscreen or dead kitty on it. Very soon I will be supplementing it with a Zoom H1 and a lav mic. I figure that will cover most of my needs for now.

Not so much. The rifle in the video has a 3.5lb trigger. While I won't be cleaning any dot drills with the middle finger, it's not a deal breaker.
I've not seen that chamber check before. It'll be a good one to practice.

I couldnt quite tell. </div></div>
I setting the selector back to safe at the end of the string. It's a habit I got into awhile back.

I noticed you don't even blink with the rifle goes off, is there a mindset or practice that prevents from blinking, Or is it just tons of time shooting being behind the gun? I most of the time blink with my rifle goes off, sometimes i don't and can spot my shot pretty well. </div></div>
Honestly it's not something I ever worked on. When I shoot I am concentrating so intently on where the reticle is when the shot breaks that I don't think my brain allows me to blink. However, when you are shooting at anything more than 100 yards you have plenty of time to blink AFTER the shot goes off but before the round impacts the target. I don't believe blinking after the shot impacts accuracy or your ability to spot your own shots.
Thanks for the great comments. If you guys didn't enjoy these, I wouldn't bother doing them. I will be doing some more on some interesting topics as soon as I get some time off from work.
