The Most Ironic Shooting Video Ever!

This video is exactly what I am experiencing right now. Only it’s my fellow shooters & not the internet. I joined an informal 200y Varmint shoot last year. Shooting Varmint silhouettes with 3/4 to 1/2 bullseyes at 200y. Great folks, lots of fun & sharing techniques & load data. Everyone sincerely wants to help everyone. I finished the 1st year averaging 5th out of 25 shooters in 6 matches. This year I am struggling to do any better than 10th of 25. & I finally believe much of it, is the radical variation in my shooting techniques, due to advice I’m trying to follow, as opposed to simply shooting, the way I would naturally. I believe there is plenty of room for improvement in my natural technique, it’s just that I need to introduce change, 1 subtle technique at a time, not 6. In my sled, my rifles & loads are so easily capable of winning. On my rest, with me behind the gun, everything falls apart horribly. I can’t even remember now, how I used to shoot. Practice, practice, practice. Introduce 1 shift in technique at a time, until you either improve or determine it doesn’t suit you. Trust yourself & your instincts. Be very careful about blindly eating, what other truly well meaning shooters feed you. Their techniques may not work for you.

Yes and yes to the scale test.

I want the scale test!!!

The gauntlet has been thrown. Gravity vs electromagnetism. Run the test !

I would like to see the beam scale versus Gucci electronic scale test.

I was banned from SnipersHide for saying almost exactly what you are saying. They claimed I was harassing sponsors which I was not. I was very polite and was able to put up actual measurements for various types of gear I had used. Nothing people selling super expensive gear hate more than a man with experience and integrity talking young men with credit cards out of spending themselves into debt when it is not needed. Do not tell someone to master the solid basics of precision reloading and reading the wind to get you banned! LOL There are times when you really gain a significant advantage with a more expensive piece a gear and times when it will not really make or break you! Knowing the difference comes from experience and trial and error!

yes on the scale shoot out r/

I still use that same old scale. At 53, and a non-competitive bench and varmint shooter, I am in no hurry and only shoot a couple thousand rounds a year now. Thanks for another delightful video.

Wow ! This was basically the most real world I've seen about reloading and no BS rant lol thank you I really enjoy watching your videos and yes that would be cool to see the comparison with a budget scale and the Gucci scale

Beam scale competition please. I trust gravity a lot.

Yes, I would like to see a comparison between the RCBS 505 and the auto trickler system. I find your videos most informative and I await the next one.

I want both videos!

I shoot mid range FTR with as "cheap" of a set up as possible. I have had some success in finishing top 3 in a couple of matches, but I am guilty of "chasing" the perfect load, bullet, seating depth, etc. My novice advice is listen to Keith, John, or Eric... but find something that is repeatable, then practice. Like the channel!

I would LOVE to see a balance beam v auto-trickler on target comparison.

+1 on beam scale test

Beam scale V electronic. What most people don't realize is, with a lot of test equipment your quality analog devices are what you use to calibrate electronic equipment. It's just a lot faster with the electronics not really more precise.

Agree with the other posters, would like to see a video with the beam scale test.

As a beam scale user, let's see the test! I'm on team beam.

This video is pure gold. Speaking of who you take your advice from. We're both Keith on the same forum and I don't recall the last time you gave any advice to anybody. 10% top shooters just don't do that. Except for the benchrest guys in their 70's who just have very welcoming approach to other forum members. I am glad you did not become an advertising poster like F-class John.

There are multiple ways of doing it "right" and endless ways of doing it wrong ;)
