  • @TechnikMeister2
    @TechnikMeister2 8 месяцев назад +7

    (From an ex Australian Commando WO2): If you can't get to within 800m of your target, then you aren't trying. The go-to sniper rifle still is the Accuracy International ATXSR in 338 Lapua Mag. We gave up on the 308 due to inconsistent performance. And as 90% of our shots were against equipment, not personnel, that makes sense.
    But by far the most accurate rifle we still use is the AI Sporter with a timber Churchill stock, Zeiss Conquest in 6-20 x 50, heavy barrel in 338 LM. It still beats the newer modular rifles out there. It should. It took a week to just make the barrel and we have one spare. It uses a modernised Mauser 98 Square Bridge action.

    Know-your-Limits targets are great fun, shooting these weekly at 600 yards at my local range. Now add a time limit makes it more competitive. Start at 45 seconds reducing time each of the following shoots. Some can complete shoot in about 10 seconds. This exercise builds skill and focus.

      Jeepers, how large was the target? At 300 meters the man-size silhouette target was smaller than the front sight post on my M-16A1. Even with birth control glasses I’m not sure I’d hit a 500 meter target more than once out of 10.

    As a veteran I could tell who the sniper was just by the speed and accuracy of the shooting. Doesn’t matter how long you been out of the services get behind a weapon and it all comes back. No disrespect but a pro shooter ain’t got a chance but then again we all have our off days. Love how you guys can just go out and shoot we here in the UK can’t unless you belong to a shooting club and even that’s restricted heavily.

      Just came across this great video. Biggest difference between the two shooters I noticed was how the first shooter moved to the next target, no discernable movement in the upper body at all. The second shooter was obviously picking the rifle up and moving it, you can see his shoulders an torso rise between each shot.

    Know your limits! That can be a dangerous saying, because you have to prove it to yourself by testing and understanding it but most people just say I cant or that's to hard. The only limit you have is the limit you make for yourself, to many people let others define their limits and that to is a dangerous mistake.

    To make it fair, the spotter should have mentioned the other shooter after his 4th shot ( i.e., that his shots were hitting slightly left on his target)
    Yes, at the end the kestrel proved the first guy knew ahead of time to hold on the left side of each target.

    @Echo30Mike 7 месяцев назад +1

    A competition in a vanilla environment is all well and good but aside from hitting some shots at distance on a battlefield, I doubt that a pro shooter would last very long. There's a reason the sniper course is long and difficult. I had a similar discussion with a Swedish friend who applauded his own SF who beat the SAS in a competition. I asked him what use would Sweden be, given that they've had a neutral stance for every war that ever mattered + I asked him what battle experience his countries SF has had. Vanilla competitions only give a small picture. For a true comparison, you need to bring both shooters to a none predetermined location and not for-warn them about the distance to target and how many targets. Change the weather conditions, put some hills and mountains in the environment, throw in some building. I'd even go as far as saying " find the targets ". There will be a clear winner each time. Pro shooters don't have to deal with multiple wind speeds and directions down range, humidity changes, weather affects - all of these can change for every shot a sniper has to take. They have their crib sheet for reference, but they can only use it as a guide. There is also the added pressure on a battlefield that the targets will shoot back.
