Awesome series for me. In 2016 my brother and I went on a guided antelope hunt in WY. Our guide put me on a very nice buck at 330 yards, downhill, in a gusty probably 10-20 mph full value typical Wyoming wind. I was able to lay on a boulder for the shot and even with that it took me 4 shots to put him down. I put 2 rounds right behind the shoulder about 3 inches apart after the guide told me to aim a foot in front (such was the wind!). I was not prepared for that shot. I will be doing a lot of shooting between now and this fall in prone, sitting, standing and off tripod. I WILL have a complete data card as well. I just ordered a bottle rest too and that will get a workout. Thanks for bringing us along!
Great content. I even use a bipod support when shooting off a tripod while sitting or standing. The quick adjusting trigger stick is a cheap trick to much better accuracy for me.
Good videos. Something that you need to know, is there are some disciplines of shooting in competition where no rear rest is allowed. I shoot in long range matches, in Nevada, where a rear bag is not allowed. It's longrange varmint silhouette and targets are out to 800 yards. As an example, our 611 yard target is a life sized rabbit. Definitely smaller than an elk's vitals, if you were to compare them. Also, one of my favorite spots to shoot/hunt deer longrange is in the canyons of Oregon. I'll support my rifle on my pack, and sit in the rocks. No way to lay prone because the incline of the canyon is too steep. There I have made 6 and 700 yard shots on some nice bucks. As for testing rifles at 600 yards, my Tikka will put a 147gr ELDM into 2" at 600 yards religiously. That is what I use for the longrange varmint silhouette matches. At 400 yards, I have shot some 3/4-1" groups without a rear bag. Like you said, it takes "practice". I also have a heavy barrel Tikka T3 varmint chambered in 22-250 that will put a 53gr vmax into 2.5" at 600 yards, on fairly calm days. Your sons rifle shoots great, and I commend you for teaching that young man to shoot straight!! Keep up the great videos. Watching these should help those that have never shot longrange before. However, you make it look too easy. Great shooting! Thanks!!!
I like the 7 mm PRC. I have one and intend for it to be my hunting rifle for whitetail deer, mule deer, elk, barbary sheep like the Aoudad, which is available in the southern part of my state. Public land hunting in my state for mule deer warns of needing to be able to shoot at least 200 yards because the hunt is in the Caprock Canyons SP, near Turkey, Texas and Itaque (ee-TAH-kay), Texas. No trees. closest you get to prone is a high spot behind a rock. Otherwise, it is kneeling or sitting in a squatting camp chair, which is what I use. Tripod with legs spread out. I have been using the Y rest but now I am going to use the clamp that fits it. Of course, no chance to use a rear bag. But, for now, I should be 400 yards and closer.
Read your other comments love the idea of inviting 1 of the na sayers. And for saying it I am a JeRK. Now when you do your series that you talk about for those shooting 200 - 300 yards only don't forget the fact most ( A ) don't have the reason to ( landscape ) and ( B ) the ability to ( laws limit there abilities) straight wall cartridges vs bottle neck.... Lastly ( C ) store bought vs professional bought vs I do all the work bought shooter/hunters. Like anything in this world there are so many ways of getting a job done and yes sometimes time and $ are so important
Look bud your videos are entertaining but no one should take should take shooting advice for someone who's head pops up like a groundhog and has no follow through but you do you if wounding animals make you feel warm and fuzzy have at it ill keep using your videos to teach my son how nor to shoot
I totally know I can work on staying in the shot longer. Maybe you could come out on camera and show my viewers how to shoot a group at 600 yards that’s under 3 inches with a hunting rifle. And FYI, I have never not recovered and animal from a long range shot.
Hey I don't want to be a jerk but, watch your video and I noticed that you were coming off the the rifle with no follow thru. Good shooting but it may be something that you might want to think about. Please don't take this wrong!
I notice :) Every shot I shoot goes off with not finishing the shot so just steady pressure to the trigger. My tendency is with the recoil to kinda let it push me off the rifle.
Need a solid rear rest for the back country?

Please keep the videos coming! Do you mind sharing any load details for that 7PRC and 175 ELDX?
Not at the shop at the moment but I can look it up. I know it’s 64.4 gn h1000 and CCI 250 mag primers.
@@elevationrifles ok thanks
Good videos. If I may, I suggest you do a series on how to validate/true dope with kestrel 5700 elite and or StrelokPro.

Oh, and also, I think from the earlier videos it looked like I trained my son Ok :-) maybe bring your son along and they can go head to head.
@@elevationrifles Fantastic answer!

What is the barrel length on your rifle?
22
@@elevationriflesI would definitely be interested in a similar setup.
