Extremely well-presented and informative video; you have a knack for explaining complex formulas in a straight-forward and easily digestible format more so than anyone I've watched on YT regarding ELR. Have a great weekend, Mark & Sam!
Excellent video, one of the best videos you've made. There are people out there that charge for "LR Shooting" lessons, they charge to train you, but they don't teach this important part. Not to this extent and they don't emphasize how important this is. 100% of my shooting is done against a back drop so that I can get on target quickly because I'm worse than a beginner spotting splash or rather determining where it hit so that I can make my adjustment. Once I make the adjustment, I can hit anything out to a mile. This is the one area I need to work on. The hardest part about what you do is not the shot or the distance, it's figuring out where you're splashing and where the impacts are without a back drop. It's very difficult to read when you go over target and then see the splash, I tend to think I was low when I wasn't. Your wife is excellent at it and gets it quickly. I'm going to load 40 rds and just set a target out to 800yds to work on this every time I go out because it's one of the things I have to work on. By the way, it's impressive how the little guy on the drawing got to the target with such a short barrel...
Thanks Piro, glad you liked the video and hope it helps, it sure can be frustrating when things don't make sense, all the best with your shooting, Cheers
Nice shooting guys. It's cool to see Sam behind a rifle. The information was a big help, especially with the pictures. Great video. Looking forward to the next team shoot.
... Another Great Video full of info ... I love someone that can see a problem and Find a Solution . ( Spotting Scope Base ) . I have to do it all the time as a Builder .
In other words ... walk it in. Im enjoying your videos. At my gun club we have to qualify to shoot on the 200 and 300 meter range . I did that today with my Enfield with open sights. So I am quite the happy camper. Un-fortunatly that is the longest range I have access too. However I can shoot a 22lr on that range as long as I have the gun set up to do that. 300 m 22lr may be something close to what you do.
That’s a very good topic to expound on. Very well explained! What I struggle with is when the target is elevated like you last video with the coke can. Very awesome shooting btw. Do you have tips on how to know if a shot is low or high? Lots of time a hi shot will appear to look low. I understand the terrain would effect how it is perceived. I have shot @ 1gal jugs set on a 2 1/2 ft tall stand 1300yrd. Shooting position is ruffly 25-30ft above target. An the ground is level. Shooting a 6.5 creedmoor . I don’t have the luxury of a spotter so calling shots myself. I love this sport an really enjoy your videos an the knowledge you share!
Thanks Cameron, well you need to study your terrain to work out what to expect and where your impact point will show up, you can even put distance makers (something on the ground) to give reference for where the impacts land. But if the area to just too flat, you really need to move some dirt (create a bank) or move to another spot with more suitable terrain. Cheers and all the best.
Hi, First I love your videos. 2nd I am flattered you respond to any of my comments. 3rd, Before you laugh at me please remember I am a wanna be paper puncher. 4th Please tell me what you think of my interpretation of your video. Ok The scope adjusts at a constant rate of angle change. yes? The BULLET falls at a parabolic rate of angel change. yes? So the further out the bullet goes the more the parabolic curve of the bullet changes. yes? So to get ACCURATE scope adjustments I must know the parabolic curve of the bullet for EACH range? yes? ONLY if I can calculate the parabolic curve of the bullet for the real range/ distance I am shooting can I match my MOA clicks to bullet drop yes? Thanks for putting up with me. If I got this wrong It must be the whiskey talking. sam
Well, thanks Sam, but no, although bullet path is part of the deal, shape of ground is the biggest part, all explained in the video, maybe a few more passes, also you could read the comments, some of them may help, Cheers

Cheers Scott, thanks man
Depth of field perception is a bugger of a thing. Found that out with some 4AW inspired long range 22lr. Cheers guys from your fans in Victoria 👍
Cheers Man, thanks.

Great video guys nice try with the two different targets. I am sure you will get it figured out.
Thanks Loren, well not something we find a problem, but probably something many had not thought about, Cheers
Another great video. Keep it up.

I hadn’t thought of putting something to reference off of! Thanks for the tip!

for some reason your videos remind me of playschool but a more serious shooting version
