Well...my 68 year old heart gave me a run for my money a year or so ago but I'm still alive and able to sit up and take nourishment so....I"m still here. Thanks for bringing us along!
Glad tp hear of the healthy improvements. I'm new to long range shooting and this channel is extremely helpful. Your humility and willingness to share info really comes across as genuine. Thanks for being relatable and sharing knowledge.
Good to hear that you’re doing good health wise. Great numbers my friend. Nice little Garmin gadget. Have a good week sir.
Thank you Joaquin! I have a new outlook on life.
Dang man, never would have guessed that a skinny guy like you running 5 miles a day would be the victim of a massive heart attack. Glad you're on the right path with your diet and overall health now. I think I can speak for everyone when I say we'd like to keep you around for as long as possible 😂
Thanks HondaTech! It was great meeting you at the class.
Great news on the health front. I’ve seen some similar situations from folks our age this summer. So glad your numbers improved and appreciate you sharing.
Thanks Mackev! It was a complete change in my life and how I look at things. 👍🏼
Thank you so much for sharing. As a LEO, heart health is something that I am always concerned about. This helps a lot.
Good to see you're doing well after that heart incident. I had a similar problem but not a heart attack. I had the mitral valve replacement, no blockage. Sometimes we need this in our life to give us a new perspective
For sure! I hope the replacement went well. I definitely look at things a LOT differently now since that day.
Believe it or not, I ended up buying a 6mm creedmoor MPR with a steel barrel because of that first video you posted. It has been an absolute laser. Thank you so much. I’m very glad to hear that you’re doing better!!
Always great video content Ray. Glad to hear your numbers are good. Keep getting after it!!!
Thanks for the health update Ray. Have a fantastic time at the Guardian match.
Thanks for hanging in there Ray. I learn a lot and get challenged every time I watch your videos.
I'm glad you are doing better. Your information on here is very much appreciated.
Thank you Ray. Glad to hear the diet etc are working well for you.
I see that t-shirt, the other great facility in Dalton. That one, I couldn't visit. Bet you did!
Thanks for sharing, not easy. This raises definitly attention on my end. Keep healthy and keep shooting, Sir!
Just have fun . Its been great learning from you. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks Jeremy! That’s the key to it all, have fun and enjoy life. We only get one shot at this. 👍🏼
Glad you are recovering well!
My god, good to hear that you're doing better! Stay safe. For what it's worth you're one of my favorite RUclipsr! Cheers from Sweden.
Thank you Donmio. It’s amazing to think about the reach that RUclips has and the folks that can get the information worldwide. Thanks you again for watching. 🇸🇪
Glad you're doing better. Hopefully things continue to go well. Thanks for the video. Be Safe.
Thank you Tim and thank you for watching and supporting the channel. Have a great week.
Thank you for the health info, glad you are alright now!
Glad you are doing better. Have fun shooting. Thanks for the video and review.
Thanks Williams. It going to be fun…. I hope . 😁
Great video full of great info. from beginning to the end - Thank You Sir for generously sharing.
Thank you Eric and thanks for watching. Glad I could share the experience with everyone.
Glad that you are feeling better. Always enjoy your content.
Thanks User! I hope to keep bringing it week after week.
Well having an idea of who your audience is. This heart talk is a great idea. What might be a good idea talk about the meals you're going to eat that day or such. To show how easy it can be.
wow,, awesome video, i spent the whole weekend trying to figure out what bino's and stuff to get ,, you answered so many question i had about the sig glass and garmin ,, thank you
My pleasure Samsung. While it might not be the right fit for everyone, the Sigs binos have always worked very well for me and built like a tank. One of my favorite pieces of gear for sure.
I'd put money on giving up sugars, grains, and foods fried in nasty seed and vegetable oils caused your blood numbers to look great. At least they did for me. I eat lots of steak, eggs, bacon, pork anything, burgers with no buns or sugar filled condiments. I don't eat starchy vegetables either. Losing lots of excesses weight is a benefit as well.
Glad you're doing great now! And keep the content coming!
Thanks for all the cool stuff and ideas good luck and stay safe
Thanks, and you as well Greg!
Thank god you’re doing better man. Can’t thank enough for the help and education I’ve learned from the stuff you teach. If you’re ever in Charleston SC I got a nice 1000 yard range and my mpr to have you learn me a few things on.
Dang! I really appreciate the invitation and I appreciate you watching the channel Tarzan.
Glad you’re OK! I had the same exact situation happen to me…no warning signs whatsoever, and bam, one morning had a heart attack! It’s scary! Diet changed, and I run 5-8 miles a day now. I’ll be 55 Sunday, so totally understand! Loved the video. I have an MPR in .223 and love it. It runs and shoots really well with factory loads. Wish you the best!
Wow Ray, Looks like you’ve had some Devine intervention!!! Glad your doing better 🙏🏼
Givem Hell on your upcoming match . .
Thank you Elias! Divine intervention for sure. I’m glad I’m still around 👍🏼. Thanks for watching .
Glad you doing better , I'm pretty sure that all of us what to keep you around for as long as possible.
I know myself that bad diet can cause all kinds of problems . Thankfully my awakening didn't come with heart attack , but my latest blood work was excellent as well.
Thanks Val. I can’t believe how much it changed you. It was great seeing you again as always.
Take good care, sir. Excellent video as always.
Thank you Jon and have a great week sir!
Very interesting and while I am not into long range shooting, I do enjoy watching it. Thanks for sharing your health related issues and wish you a speedy recovery. I am much older and have a 70% blockage that has me doing a keto diet. There is a lot that conventional doctors do not have regarding good hard data on cholesterol.
Hey man sorry to hear about your heart issues. Glad to see you're doing fine... This stuffs all cool and a hobby but we must not forget to put some effort and thought towards our health and family. God bless!
Absolutely correct. I was literally coasting through life thinking that as long as I was exercising regularly, I could eat whatever I wanted. Man was I wrong about that.
Thanks for watching and commenting on the channel.
Glad you are doing good again really enjoy your channel always interesting content ....coffee time with xring 👍
I bought my 10k’s after the paramount tactical video. Glad you are doing well. I actually came across your channel because of your mpr video where you shot out to a mile iirc. Mine is in 6.5 creedmore but with a stainless barrel.
Thanks Maj.Kam. I think the MPR will fit the bill perfectly for this weekend. I hope so anyway. 😁
Wow ! Somehow I missed the health crisis. Glad you are on the way back.
Happy to hear your health is doing better! I want to see you around for a long time. I still have much to learn from you, Ray!! I did go ahead and get the Xero for a chrono. I was waiting for the FX to be available, but when I saw your little teaser about a month ago, I decided to wait. Got on the Area419 email list and just got lucky to wake up and check my emails right when it showed up. So I got the kit from Area419 with their mount. Was going to test it out yesterday and today, but we got about 3 inches of rain and the road to my range is too muddy to drive down. We needed the rain badly, so I'm not too upset, but I will have more work to do next weekend, then my 3rd PRS match the weekend after!! Hoping the Garmin helps me get good data for my Kestrel and I am on target better than my 2nd match. Some stages I did great, then the next I'd do terrible. I think I was doing a bad job using my Kestrel and getting wrong adjustments. More for me to learn!! But I'm having fun learning it all and trying to share as much of it on my channel. Hope to show people things that I do wrong and hopefully save some people some headache when they are new like me, lol.
Have a great week and hope the match goes well for you. That Foretrex looks interesting. May add that at some point if I feel it's needed.
Be well, good sir!
Thank you Chad and thank you for watching the channel. I am glad I am able to share the whole journey with everyone. Hopefully, I can keep producing good content and see the channel grow. I’m still hanging in there. Good luck with your upcoming PRS match. The Garmin has been flawless for me.
@XRING I am trying to share my mistakes. People can watch you to see what the pros can do, then come see my stuff to learn what not to do 🤣
I just ordered the FatBoy tripod stuff today. Found out the next match will have tripod stages, so gonna get ready for that.
I truly do appreciate you help and good advice. I would not be nearly as far along learning this if not for you steering me in some good directions! Happy to hear you are doing better!! Best of luck on your match!
Sorry to be messing with filming. You had great hits stretching out before the tripod content and I was trying to be respectful as best as I could. I always appreciate the content. Glad to see you hitting the competitions.
Thanks Matthias. It was great seeing you again at the range. I have gotten accustomed to filming while others are shootings. It was no issue at all.
So glad you're alright!
That rifle is gorgeous.
Great to hear your numbers improved! That is wonderful news. Team Safari was an exspensive match for me this year with all the goodies being passed around on the hotel porch.
LOL! Even though I couldn’t finish I had one of the best times ever! Just hanging out and catching up with folks made the trip worthwhile for me. 👍🏼
Good luck down there in the land of peaches and gnats!@@XRING
@smokincache8784 Thank you sir! Just got done with the zeroing and ready for the shooters brief. 👍🏼
Great job on the video
Thank you Nathan.
I'm glad you're doing well! I had a heart attack last year similar story maybe not as bad but 37yo. Didn't give up meat but gave up beef and numbers are only slightly higher than yours. Keep up the good work and stY the course.
Thanks for sharing Paul! I hate that happened to you at such a young age but at least you are on top of it now.
I just did what the Doctors told me to do and it’s been working so far! 😁
Hey Ray glad to hear you are doing better. By chance did you get the c19 jab? Keep up the great videos. I learn alot from you.
Always a great video
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Team O’Neil rally school! Good to hear your doing great!
Thanks Brandon and thank you for watching! Team O’Neil in NH is an awesome place to learn some great driving techniques. 👍🏼
Dang, I’m 55 and super fit but basically eat anything because I run and lift so much. Thanks for the heads up on the diet.
Great video, and great job on improving your health. Would love to see a video breakdown of your average eating day. After all, beer and donuts are vegetarian, just not so healthy.
hey Ray went through the exact same thing in 2017 at the age of 49 . I nolonger drink soda or fast food and quit smoking ! feel way better than before !!
Thanks for sharing Matt. We have a second time to do it right !!
Thanks for the heart health tip. I'm in good health, but now that you mention it, I probably would be at higher risk if I don't cut back on the fatty foods. Cheers.
sheesh, I needed to hear this reference the health issue. Gotta eat better. Thanks brother.
Glad to hear that you're doing well.
I recently purchased the kilo 8k ramgefinder and I have not been impressed with for the first few days of owning it. I compared the envoirmental data against a kestrel drop and sometimes the DA by 200 or 300.
I'm coming from using strelok pro and a kestrel drop. I'm looking to move up using rangefinder with AB software or to rangefinder along with kestrel.
Good to know Bimmerdude. I have seen some variances as well. However, I have never seen where the small DA numbers make any difference in the data. You can also just link the 8k’s straight to your Kestrel data.
Dude out of the blue I started getting light headed. I went in for a cardiogram today was tired as crap. I have to go get an ultrasound end of the month and then go from there. I just had covid again, so they said it could be myocarditis. So things are crazy. Be safe and eat good man.
I hate to hear you are going through that KCY. Hopefully they can get you straightened out.
Exercise and eat healthy. Even if it’s just for a brisk walk every day for about 45 minutes.
@@XRING absolutely will do man. I’m only 32 and was on active duty for 6 years and a PMC for 4 and a cop for 1. I’ve owned my own business now for 3 years. They think it might be covid related.
By chance did yall get Vaccine?
@@gsxrjct733 I unfortunately got the first one because my mom was going through cancer at the time. Refused the rest.
@@gsxrjct733 I did not .
I'm curious about this blockage issue. People who have low carb & hight protein diet has no blockages. From what I understand it's the sugars & carbs causing issues. Thoughts?
I agree. I ate a lot of sugars and carbs and anything and everything in sight. I typically ate 5 times a day because I was always hungry.
I just did what the Cardiologist and the dietician said to do and here I am. I can’t argue with the results.
“We gotta compensate somehow” 😂😂 nice.
Would love to hear the prices of all the gear you show us. I get you likely get much of it for free or it’s just loaned to you but knowing prices is a great way to cap off the video. Plus it gives many of us something to bitch about in the comment section and helping out the algorithm.
Great comment. Unfortunately. I don’t get most of my items for free. The Garmin was provided to me for review. The Sigs are around 2300 ish but I replaced my old Kilo 3k’s which were about $800.00 back in the day.
Glad you're doing good...and thanks for the health info- the old adage, 'you are what you eat' couldn't be more true. Question - what are the camo sheaths on your tripod?
Thanks Bob. Another good one is that you can never outrun the fork!
Those are by Fehu outdoors Collin makes them by hand in Wyoming.
I'm glad you're doing better! I've had both stents at 48 and bypass surgery at 61, you are correct we have to eat better and take care of ourselves better. Love your channel and content. Question: I have the Sig 10k with the AB program built-in, will this also work with the Garmin 901?
Thanks Mark! I really appreciate it. I hate you had to go through a bypass I’m trying to stay away from that if I can help it. Have a great week.
I have the same rifle and have had great accuracy with hornady match 147gr or even black 140gr bthp
Might have to try that out. I don’t have enough time to reload for this match and I had a lot of Winchester to use up. I have never used Winchester match in the past.
🙏🏾
Do you know if the Tactix Watches with applied ballistics on them also sync with the Sig LRF like this unit does?
Thank You Sir! So just factory ammo!👍🇺🇲
I didn’t have time to reload for this match.
@@XRING I hope you do excellent in the match🙏 👍🇺🇲. Oh, what are the ring heights for the S3 6-36 scope? It is simply 0.5 of the objective lens ( or a bit more). correct? I need to mount one on the DPC 22 aero upper. I am shopping at F3R machine. Thanks
Please, please, please share more heart health information! I would like to hear about what meals you are eating
Thanks Thomas! I basically cut out all sugar and candy like Snickers etc. I never drank any sugar drinks so that part was easy.
As far as the foods. I ate a lot of boring salad and fruits initially. (No dressing).
Then I began eating a lot of Mexican type bowls with long grain rice, beans, spinach olives, tomatoes etc. I also cut out a lot of the breads and tortillas.
I learned early on that the plant based meats etc are not all equal and some are actually worse for you. No Starbucks Impossible plant based sandwiches!! That thing is bad for you. You really have to start paying attention to every label. Stay away from Saturated and Trans fat as much as possible. I always stayed hungry. Mushrooms and plant based pastas as well as steel cut oatmeal is good as well.
I dropped over 20 lbs that I really didn’t have the extra weight to lose. The Cardiologist said that some grilled fish would be ok as well after losing so much weight.
I do feel a ton better. It’s easier than what most people think.
You can even eat green beans and pinto beans at Bojangles in a pinch. It’s been a learning process that I wish I would have paid attention to sooner. 👍🏼
@@XRING Thanks! I definitely need to start working towards a heart healthy diet and it would be better to start working towards it now rather than to wait until after there is a problem to try and turn things around. My biggest problem is that it is so much easier to get food that is bad for you. You have to really go out of your way to find healthy choices.
Great video. I'm guessing you had to manually enter the wind conditions into Sig/Garmin? Looking forward to the 901 review.
You can do it that way or use the external one provided with the 10k.
The wife just purchased her MPR for her foray into longer ranger shooting. Did the MPA take the muzzle rise enough or should we maybe try another one to see if it may work out better? Thank you and glad your health has improved.
How does it process wind direction compared to direction of fire ?
What rangefinder was you using with garmrin??
What kestrel would you recommend
4 minutes in, I spy Otto ear protection. How do you like them compared to others?
I have been using the Ottos for 3 years now. I feel lost without them.
Wish you better health but know it is CARBS specifically sugar and other bad carbs is the problem. You do not have to get rid of meat unless you want to. FAT and PROTEIN is fine. Yes FAT is healthy. Good Luck.
I'm all for giving up the greasy deep fried foods. That's what fixed your numbers. But, I'm never giving up meat.
I felt the same way but 4 cardiologists convinced me otherwise. I have been diligent and I can’t argue with the progress.
Do you own x ring supply company?
I do not.
Did Ray not get the memo that Christensen Arms is hot garbage?
This one is not and did the job quite well. 👍🏼
You were also smoking on one of the videos, if you did that for years that is a big risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Come on Ray you’re shooting Winchester ammunition who are you kidding. Give the rifle a real chance
Well, it’s true. I have the Berger ammo but I’m saving that for Snipers Unknown. Not quite enough Sako TRG left to shoot this match.
People say they have good results with the Winchester match. I’m still on the fence with that ammo.
@@XRING well, you must not be serious about winning this match because you are a reloader. I have 3 MPR’s and you can get them to shoot 1/2 MOA with one hand tied behind your back
You have always said MOA will get you home
Fact!!
$600? OK relax Garmin. How do they price their chrono and a digital dope card at the same price?
Well, it is a full GPS as well as a few other things as well. Full review coming on the Garmin. 👍🏼
I can only pray you had no VAX or boosters
I did not. 👍🏼
Hope it wasn't the v doing that to you
I never took the vaccine. 👍🏼
@@XRING
You have good chance to get back in shape Sir. Wish you well!
Stay away from the seed oils and processed food. I would still eat a lot of red meat. Check out the work Dr. Paul Saladino has done.
Smoking contributes to heart disease
It absolutely does.
The vaccine
I never got the jab!
I've seen this guy smoke. Smoking plus bad diet is a disaster. Especially after 40 years. Meat has nothing to do with it. It's the garbage that people eat along with the steaks. My diet is 90% red meat, has been for over 20 years. Carnivore diets are not new, and they have been helping people for years. If it's processed or man made, don't eat it. If it has carbs and sugar, don't eat it. Do that and eat all the red meat you want and tell me if your health doesn't improve. Calcium score of 0 doesn't lie people.
