Advanced Marksmanship best dvd for the expereinced LR shooter

[ALLOUTIND]

I have aprox 5 years of shooting long range under my belt but want to see what is out there to watch that might help better myself as a shooter. I have checked out Brian Litz and Shawn Carlock trailers, Just don't know if these will help. Does anyone else really get into the details from start to finish. I just hate to buy 5 dvds and have it be the same stuff i already know.

I've been watching the Magpul Art of The Precision Rifle DVD's, they are awesome! I've only been shooting for a few years so anything out of the box is new haha
One thing I loved was how they simplified the wind calculations.
I'm sure there are others but so far this has been a hidden gem for me.

 

[ChemE1975]

Not a DVD but you might check out the online SH video training series.

 

[EXTREMEPREJUDICE]

SH online training is great, and you can ask questions and get feedback so is the SH DVD, especially related to your "start to finish" comment. Also, "Rifles Only" stuff is good and Bryan Litz's is worth a spin.

 

[Niles Coyote]

I have all that have been spoken of so far... and a few more. If I had to down size the two from Rifle's Only would be staying.

++1 on art of the precision rifle

 

[RobertB]

I'd say a class from a great known instructor

 

[dumbbell]

+2 on the two rifles only dvds. Havent seen all the others, but the rifles only are top notch. I learn something new each time i watch them

 

[tattooo]

Magpul vids are as close as you can get besides live instruction

you obviously have never seen the Rifles Only DVD's then.

OP, if you want a big infomercial for Horus and Larue with some marginal shooting tips the check out the Magpul vids. If you want a clear cut demonstration of marksmanship fundamentals then check out the RO dvd's

 

[tattooo]

I do agree about the infomercial but found it cery helpful

 

[jugi16]

I used to subscribe to SH videos, and I've watched the magpul/Litz DVDs. They don't compare. You won't find better instruction or feed back than from Frank or Jacob. End of story.

 

[RobertB]

I really thing that hands on class is better than videos. I own every one listed. The class will teach you what matters and in videos they will stress some things that really don't matter as much as you can believed they do. Some rigs are much more forgiving than others. Not bashing the videos but after doing both forms and just a lot of self practice as well I will always say that the hands on is 199% better. The videos are fun and interesting but really thru just give you things to try later at the range.

Good luck.

I've got Rifle's Only DVD and have taken Jacob's class. Obviously there is no replacement for live training, but the DVD does mirror the fundamentals that he emphasizes in class. Highly recommended!

 

[Sterling Shooter]

There is no substitute for just doing it. Long Range is about feel. The feel of being muscularly relaxed. Muscular relaxation is discerned from practice at building a proper position; and, when the shooter practices enough to get the position consistent from shot to shot he will also get consistent recoil resistance and bullets can be expected to hit where aimed.

 

[Blackjack988]

a big infomercial for Horus and Larue

Also TR.NET. I seem to recall them mentioning that one of the rifles they used was a TR M40 clone. Could be mistaken though, i'll re-watch it tonight.

best dvd for the expereinced LR shooter

Anyone want to sell a Rifles only video. I have not heard of this one.

Just realize I may have broken a rule or hijacked a thread. If you have one to sell offer it to the thread starter and I will go 2nds.
Sorry

I will say that the RO "Fundamentals" video is very fundamental if you've been shooting for a while. I've never regretted anything I've purchased for my "training library" but I felt as though one of the other videos would have been more appropriate for me to start on, so it's in the library and I'll get some of their other ones. Jacob does a better job than most of breaking down the information and presenting it well.

I've also enjoyed a number of Lowlight's videos when he does instructionals.

I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to remember the name of that dvd series. I want to buy them, but don't know if I can afford em.

then just buy the first one. get the other when you can.

 

[Erud]

"Sniper" starring Tom Berenger.

No serious shooter's DVD collection should be without it.

Buy the sequel if you are an advanced shooter...

I got the two dvds and watched the first one. There are a few subjects in there that really got me thinking. The first one was pulling the rifle back as part of setting up the prone position. I've been told how to do it by 4 different people and it's 50/50 on pulling the rifle back and not pulling the rifle back. Some guys said that you adjust your body to the rifle, and some guys said you adjust the rifle to you body. I'm not sure what discipline to take up.

Another interesting subject that I came across was parallax. I thought it was only for keeping the picture clear. I had no idea that if you parallax is off, it can mess up the cross hairs lining up with the target. Also, some of the best parallax settings do not keep the picture clear.

Breathing. I've always taken my shots after exhaling, and sometimes holding my breath. I was amazed how your suppose to breath normally and take the shots at the bottom of the breath. He may have said at the top also, but I'll watch the video again sometime to find out.

Trigger control. I thought my trigger control was decent, but the way it was described has got me thinking about the way I do it. I'm pretty sure there's something off.

I'm not going to watch the second dvd until I get some decent dry firing time in.
