    USASOC

    Re: USASOC We have the scores but I do not believe that they will be made public. The Teams were given their scores and standings. Not sure if all the teams would want a public airing.

    2011 USASOC Sniper Competition

    Re: 2011 USASOC Sniper Competition The competition attendees are decided by the units. We gave each unit a set number of teams they could enter. The units will decide who will represent them. Usually the unit will have a shoot off to which team does the best and they will represent the...

    Advanced Marksmanship M40/A1 Shooting Positions / Techniques

    Re: M40/A1 Shooting Positions / Techniques The reason slings were taught was that in many instances a prone position was not possible in the real world. Not in the range world, but the real world. The sling is a tool in a tool box for snipers. The slings are preadjusted and and are fast...

    New US Military .300 Win Mag Match MK 248 MOD 1

    Re: New US Military .300 Win Mag Match MK 248 MOD 1 Take care, your barrel life with the 220 will be rather short. While the round bucks the wind better, it will cause throat erosion at a rather high rate. The A191 we use, and there are two, a 185 and a 190, the Mod 0 runs between 2950...

    Advanced Marksmanship M40/A1 Shooting Positions / Techniques

    Re: M40/A1 Shooting Positions / Techniques We trained the sling and a multitude of postions with the M24. We seldom shot off a butt pack, mainly because we never carried them, but showed the shooter how to make a tripod and use other supports. I realize you asked about the M40 but figured I...

    Advanced Marksmanship Sighting-In with FFP

    Re: Sighting-In with FFP Quick caveat, after you zero, change power and fire another group. If teh group shifts, then return the scope. Old variables and cheap varibles will shift zero when you change power settings. That was the primary reason that a variable was not chosen as the scope...

    Advanced Marksmanship Wind Drift Discussion

    Re: Wind Drift Discussion It is not just trigger time. If you can not do the math as Sterling Shooter stated, then you can be real accurate to within .5 mph and still miss. If it takes you too long to figure out the required hold then the wind will change. That is the only constant in...

    Advanced Marksmanship Two shots together and then one away

    Re: Two shots together and then one away Put five pastes on a sheet of paper and copy it. Have him shot one shot on each pastee. Then mark each shot onto a single pastee. This will give him a group without the pressure of making a "good group". He is probably looking at the last shots...

    Advanced Marksmanship Conflicting Info on movers. Help!

    Re: Conflicting Info on movers. Help! One thing to remember when using any calc for movers is that the wind will either add or subtract from the value of your lead. Example, I have a lead of 1 mil and a .5 mil wind. If the target is walking into the wind then the wind is blowing off .5 of...

    Re: Conflicting Info on movers. Help! Movers, now there is a fun activity, also the most common actual sniper target. There are all sorts of techniques from memory drills, to computing speed. Remember, shooting movers much past 600 is mostly pissing in the wind. At those ranges, winds...

    Re: Question for special forces(and anyone else who ca I think it has been settled out, but yes, JJ is one of the instructors on 37 and yes he is the real deal. He runs a real sweet 3 gun match that, if you guys are near, I recommend you come by and see how bad you are going to get embarrassed.
