All good points for beginners especially the different brands/weights of ammo/bullets. Until a person is told or they read it they don't know just how much that affects things. We all start at the same place, the beginning. Good vid.

Just shot my first ladder test today. I appreciate the content, you’ve helped out a ton!

I made my own sandbags using old blue jeans, sewing sections of the legs up the middle, plus the lower leg for thinner bags. Then filling them with store bought sand. The side by side sand bags are great for stacking and I've never seen them offered anywhere. When shooting large bore magnums, you can put a sandbag between the butt pad and your shoulder.

Good advice. Rear support is very important. The Ultimate Bag Rider works well and is adjustable for elevation.

Well said. You learn by overcoming mental barriers, and pushing your limits, but still in a way that allows you to learn rather than abject misses that can’t be spotted. Eventually, with enough skills and time, you will decide to spend a freaking fortune 😂 Such a rewarding sport and it doesn’t have to be out of reach of an average shooter if they get decent basic gear and practice.

I was watching a video once on what to take to a class. The #1 thing I took away from that video was "Always take more Ammo than required". I like to take 1.5 to 2 times the amount they require. I was at a Pistol course that suggested 250 rounds. I took 400. We progressed a bit faster than the time line suggested. Because most of us had extra ammo we were able to do more of the drills.

I’d also like to add having quality scope mounts that are properly torqued. I’ve never really shot past 200 yards and always thought shooting long range required tons of skill and expensive equipment. Not long ago I decided to shoot my Remington 770 .300wm out to 600 yards and was surprised that it wasn’t all that difficult. Hits weren’t consistent at 600 but everything from 300-400 was relatively easy.

Good basics. Although, I shoot a lot, I can still learn a lot. I have a new 300 win mag that needs to be zeroed and I can appreciate some of the tips you have given. Thanks!

Rear bag was a total game changer for me. I was using my fist. Then while waiting for my bag to show up I used a rolled up swear shirt and it cut my groups in half. I just got a 10 dollar bag and filled it with rice. Works great. 2nd was the level. Got one that mounts to the scope mount. Whether it's level or not I don't know but it helps me to know I'm at the same angle every shot even if it's not perfect
