Just a dude trying to make interesting video's about things I like, and hopefully you enjoy them as well!
How I tackle the Rooftop Barricade
Tried something new today with the editing techniques for you guys!
Got a stylus and learned to draw on the screen while voice overlapping, so hopefully you guys enjoy this new style of critiquing and breaking down the training process!
If this is easier for you guys to see what I am looking at when I am reviewing my video work, I will absolutely continue to do this for you guys, drop a comment on whether or not this is a useful technique to break down training focus!
Hope you guys enjoy watching!

Gear Update - What I bring to the Range
Переглядів 1,8 тис.21 день тому
Finally, after two years, I made a new Gear Loadout video for the range. Many things have come and gone, and now I think I have finally dialed in the setup with all the necessities and none of the extra baggage that was taking up space. I have reduced to about 40-50% of what I was originally bringing to the range every time I would load up and head out to train or compete. Silly, to say the lea...

Training & Critiquing

Focused training is crucial becoming more proficient at any skill. You must be focused and brutally honest with yourself and your performance, if you cannot be self critical and accept your flaws you won’t grow. Here I am showing my first run raw and cold, & then my second run warmed up. As you can see I started off much quicker in run 2 as opposed to run 1, but that little confidence boost of ...

How DA or elevation changes can affect your Wind Number
Do you have a trigger cam? wondering what the recoil looks like from this position though the scope?
I do!! I forgot to charge it, so i had it all set up and it died, so I intend on adding that in for future sessions and actually have it charged! Haha.
One of the best reviews I’ve seen. I can tell you’re an honest good person. Me and my buddy have built several prs type rifles for our own use. Using stocks from Foundation,MDT,Manners,McMillan,KMW and etc. Barrels from Kreiger,Bartlien,Rock Creek,and etc. Actions from Bat,Impact Precision,Surgeon,Kelbly and etc. I must say I agree with you ( it’s a personal preference thing) they are all top notch. They have all shot unbelievable.
Completely agree! Sometimes you just have to accept that some people like chocolate and some people like vanilla! Doesn’t mean that either is bad or good, they both are good just personal preference.
👏🏾
Worth the wait homie. I need to put out the eberlestock one I’ve been sitting on doing forever. I’ll probably get it done next year.
Yeah, as soon as I posted the short, work went full retard lol! Then I messed up the one recording I had 🤣
@@matthewsolo5162 fuck it, do it live! 😂🤘🏻
@Bellicose0311 I just might have too!!!
I think canva works pretty good dude, but I fucking suck at thumbnails too 😂
I even have Canva!! I am going to have to hit it up and see what I can do!!
Really nice setup. I dig the lay out and the thought process that went into it. Like anyone that gets into high end customizing of any weapon , it's always evolving along with your skill sets . Sometimes it's hard to say enough and start a different project
That is so true! I like to think this is its final form, then something catches my eye & I change it up! Ha-ha!
It would help all present if they divided up Ironman when used with long range people on one end and short range people on the other. Or, shorter, shooting for precision next to a spray and pray carbine shooter is never fun. :)
We are working on fixing that problem here in the near future, but also that was all they guys I was training with, so we have a much more coordinated and organized line set up. And we don't mind being closer than normal even when shooting separate disciplines.
@@matthewsolo5162 Cool! And also, separate from the rant, this video was outstanding. The curve back observation was particularly interesting. Great job!
@@philwalter1058 Thanks! I really liked this new format, I it allows me to actually pinpoint what I am trying to talk about when I am explaining stuff to people, cause I can jsut draw on it!
Do you know what the low profile bag is for the rail changer? Cheers.
Cole-tac makes the D-Bag which I believe is the one you’re asking about? Smaller rectangle bag.
Area419 also has the grip changer.
I think this teaching modality is clutch
Me too! I intend to do more like this, pretty excited to have this ability to highlight with the stylus!
nice job
Thank you!!
Great video and analysis. We get challenged with the reverse roof shot quite a bit. Typically people use a tripod as a bipod, but it’s an ungainly solution. I am thinking a triple pull and backpack would work well, based on Marcellus Blanchard’s book. What do you think?
That’s actually a really good idea! I actually have a two vets tripod that you can remove the third leg. So it will act as an extremely long bipod when I am in mountainous terrain. Actually could work as the triple pull I think!
Matt when you shoot off your tripod do you pull the rifle into your shoulder
Technically, yes, but I’m only doing it to maintain a solid connection so I’m not gripping itit any more than I would if I was slightly compressing a plastic bottle.
im building a rifle at the mo with a 737r action international barrel chambered in 25 creed trigger tech diamond 2 stage in a krg c4 chassis i live in ireland is been fun trying to get the chassis
Oh man, is it difficult to get one sent out there? I don’t know anyone who lives in Ireland, that’s pretty far haha.
@@matthewsolo5162 ya its a bit of a pain but where there's a will there's a way . i dont know anyone in ireland or the uk that has one phillip velayo was in the uk last year with mds i had a go with his and liked it
@wingding028 yeah Phil had a prototype and I got my hands on it when I went through a course of his back in 2021 and I fell in love with it and I tried to hold out. I think I lasted three days after it officially released before I broke & bought one. I got a buddy up in Canada. He said it was a pain in the butt get it up there so I can imagine how much of a pain it is for you.
I just subscribed. Checking out your videos now. Thanks
Thanks for subbing! I truly appreciate it!
Found this. Thanks!
Of course!!!
The ARC CDG with its six o’clock lug will work well with your AW magazines. Great video as always, Matt!
Thanks for the info! Definitely going to look into that!
My main competition gun is an AIAX, but I’m building out a 6arc shorty bolt gun with an 18” barrel in a whiskey 3, similar set up to yours just tiny. Gonna run some load development and see how it shoots in competition and just for fun. Love your set up dude!!
I’m super interested in the 6 ARC, please let me know how it turns out!
@@matthewsolo5162 dude totally will I’ll take some pictures for you and do some grouping and velocities and send you the info when I’m done.
what's your total set up weight
@@richardmullowney7440 22lbs & I think 14 ounces (that may be off a bit). Haven’t weighed it in a while.
Sick video, love the set up!
Thanks, dude! Almost as sweet as your 10 W3s!!
@@matthewsolo5162 ahaha jeeez it’s only 2 😂 might have to sell them so I can get a c4
@Treid323 No way! Just keep buying more! Until you have an armory full!!!
Just found this video. Didnt know you had a youtube until i saw you comment on Phil's podcast 😂 do you mark your tripod for each height or just go from many reps and memory?
Glad to have you over here haha! Yeah, I haven't been active enough on this thing, but I am starting to get much more better about uploading and doing the UA-cam thing recently!! I go off memory now, I used to mark my tripods when we only had clamps, but now with the twist locks I have a pretty solid estimation for where my tripod needs to set, then I make minor adjustments once the rifle is locked in and I am attempting to get on target.
Time Stamp 6:32 Garmin Xero C1 Pro, got defeated by the autocorrect!! 😂
Another awesome and very informing video especially for beginners like me I want to get into long range shooting competitions
That rifle looks sick as hell. Where do we buy it or where can we buy it forget it
So you would have to get it built, it’s a custom rifle , each part is hand picked to be put together. I intend on putting together a video in all the components of my rifle soon!!
I run a very similar setup with a matrix Pro. You don't hand load?
How do you like the Matrix Pro? I haven’t had a chance to mess with one yet. And no pure factory ammo for me. Maybe one day. When I have more time to..
@@matthewsolo5162 i have two of them. One Matrix Pro and a Matrix Pro 2. LOVE them
@NBKmediaPRS awesome I gotta get some hands on time soon!!
Great video Matt! I’ve ordered a pair of thunder beast bipods, but they are still on backorder. How do you like them? I heard you mention that most of the time you run them as backups to the MDT. Keep the videos coming!!! Subscribed!!!
I really like them, and I run them a lot, but recently, I've noticed that on the East Coast matches, there have been many instances where the Ckye pods had more advantage with height or just removing the bipod altogether. But when I'm training on my own, I will run those TBACs. Guess it just depends on the venue really 🤣
I notice your legs are evenly spaced and the rifle pretty much splitting them. I naturally prefer to bend my right leg and wondered in your experience if that would result in a performance issue. I just found your channel and subscribed. Looking forward to watching and learning. Thanks, Matt!
Not necessarily; you may find a shift in your impacts when you do this initially, but if you do it every single time, then it will be consistent, and you should be good to go. Because if you zeroed with this leg placement then everything you line up. Ideally, you want to bisect the body with the rifle, but because everybody is different and may not be able to set up the same, you can have slight differences to get comfortable and consistent, which is key. Consistency will be the most important thing to dial in trends and correct them as needed or adjust for them, whether that be physically or mechanically.
@@matthewsolo5162 I typically zero my guns off my bench. However, as I dig deeper into the field of shooting I’m seeing more reason to vary that typical approach. And while I’ve shot rifles my entire life (60 now) my only official training would have been Basic Training in Ft Benning in 1983. My service as a National Guardsmen didn’t get much technical work, or at least I don’t remember much. My range is at my home and although it’s just 300 yards at the furthest, I might be able to see some of what you’re saying in impact shift by varying my prone positions. Sounds like a great test to try! May not get to it quickly but I’ll try to let you know how that goes. Appreciate the quick response! 😉
That's awesome. Please let me know! I have definitely noticed a difference when I zero off a bench compared to prone shooting. When I zero off the ground, I tend to have a .2-.3 shift left for the point of Impact. I've grown accustomed to zeroing off the ground because, as I get deeper into competing, the majority of my shooting is not in the prone these days.
Reading the win takes a lot of practice. And a hell of a lot of luck. A top quality rifle in cartridge in the hands of an average shooter. We'll still be About a one inch group or bigger. A 3mph wind, They will never. Notice a group change. The last several years everybody and their brother seemed to call themselves a sniper. The funny part is.People don't even know what the term snipper means. The military trains expert marksman not snippers. The long range precision shooters of today would make these people look like kids with b b guns
Agreed, that's why we have to constantly practice. Most people cannot out-shoot their rifles, but that will be the first thing they blame for missing! It's surprising how many people don't realize how much work it takes to be a true professional, and that goes for a lot of different topics, not just shooting.
So calculated using a given a set of atmospherics, does this still hold if the temp goes down, like in winter ? or if the density altitude changes ? ...or does one have to do these calcs for every location and atmospherics one finds for that day ?
You absolutely have to check it every time you’re in a new environment, I’ve seen mine go up an mph and down an mph in higher elevations and lower elevations. So it should be part of your prep when you first get to a new area.
@@matthewsolo5162 THX !!
Of course!!
Great video, Matt! What is in that pouch on your right side?
It’s technically an NVG pouch but I use it for my Terrapin. Believe it’s High Speed Gear or Blue Force, can’t remember.
The newer PRS skills stages are a ton of fun too. The hardest is the pan stage for us.
Completely agree I like the new style as well!!
I tried to use this method in the geo ballistics app. My data was correct(I think). I tried for 6.5 CM data and .300 WM data. Both yielded results that seem a little high to me. 20mph and 13 Mph for gun numbers respectively. What other inputs might I check to see if I entered all the data correct?
Since I can’t physically see your solver screen. I would check. MV being input correctly Twist rate input correctly Direction of wind full value (9/3 o’clock) Make sure you are looking at only wind no spin drift included. Make sure direction of fire is at 12 o’clock
Thank you for the explanation very easy to follow and understand.
Glad it was helpful!
Alright, gotta ask. Why is your level set up on the right side of the rifle if you are a right handed shooter? I typically see it on the left so you can check it with your off eye while keeping the main one on target. I have mine forward as far as I can get it and upside down compared to yours so I can actually see it while looking through the scope, it just kinda hangs out in the bottom third of my reticle. I like it. But I'm one of those both eyes open shooters so perhaps that's why.
So I have the second one on the right-hand side if I have to shoot off-hand, normally there is always one stage at a match that requires it. And because it is already much more difficult than shooting normally, I added it because I could not see the level on the opposite side. Is it necessary? No, but I wanted to give myself the ability to do the same thing on that side that I do normally.
@@matthewsolo5162 Neat, I practice both sides as well but only have a level on the one. I might need to give that a try.
@@zackl3094 Yeah, it can definitely be beneficial, I will say I don't use it very much, so if you have the money its a good idea, if you're tighter on funding, I would not prioritize it over somethign more functional.
🇺🇸💪🏼 What tool kit is that? And why 2 levels?
It is a fix-it stick tool kit, one of the most useful tool kits I have ever owned! I use two levels for when I have to shoot with my non-dominate hand, I still can check and make sure my rifle is level when I am connecting to it from the opposite side.
I gotcha, will look into getting that tool kit also 🤜🏼🤛🏼
@@swift__ I think that is the right choice!
In USMC I was a Helocopter mechanic. We called this stuff Torque stripe. It was kinda like cake icing that would harden. Used just like your using it to get a visual indicator on a loser ing bolt. Typically followed up with safety wire. HMH-363 SEMPER FI 02-07
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if that is where the original idea came from!! Once you find something that works no reason not to use it where it’s useful elsewhere!!
I’m scope shopping. Never bought a scope ever. Looking at Schmidt & bender & vortex. Is that Khalid up there in top tier as well? I’m new to scopes. I want to buy once cry 😢 once.
Yeah Kahles, is up there with Zero Compromise, and Tangent Theta. They are very expensive. If I were you I would try to get a chance to look through each scope you’re interested in to make sure you like it and it’s resonates with your eye. Each scope brand has unique reticle which I think plays a huge part in selection, you may like the scope but hate the reticle which leaves you in a tough spot.
@@matthewsolo5162 great advice thx u . Iron sights & red dots are only so much fun.🤩 Cheap shit ain’t cool 😎 And cool shit ain’t cheap
@@romeofoxtrot363 100% but I will warn you the buy once cry once mentality has never worked out for me which is why I have multiple items of each hahaha. But at least you can attempt to make the smartest choice the first time which will help reduce the damage to the wallet|!!
Thanks, gonna run this for 338 norma and 300 prc imp prob be too high a wind number to make it easy but we will see in a minute.
It should definitely work, but it should make it easier to accommodate for wind with those size boomers!
Doesnt really work with minutes does it .
@@EChunter it does!!! I have a video for that as well. ua-cam.com/video/peRWa2AZeIc/v-deo.htmlsi=QhiSSbK5OcXvvLUI Not sure you can click here but if you scroll through my stuff it’s just for MIS users.
@matthewsolo5162 ok thanks, appreciated!
Way overpriced, forend only 17”, others already went to 19”
It’s definitely expensive I’ll never argue against that. As for the 17” vs 19”, I don’t particularly see a need for the extra length, I don’t have the arm- reach to pass the forend length so it doesn’t affect my performance being 2”s shorter, although I can see potential to add another weight set if you had the length. Is there any specific reason you prefer the longer?
Whats the largest contour that chassis will hold ?
I’m not 100% positive but I have a competition contour on both my barrels that I throw in there.
Always a pleasure Matt thanks for this !!
Anytime! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Great video Matt as Always . Thanks for Sharing
Thank you, appreciate you!
Krg whiskey cheek rise is the most uncomfortable thing ever felt against my cheek bone. Get MDT or MPA
That’s just like your opinion… not everyone agrees with your cheek bone.
Thanks for this info dude 👍🏼
Any time!
My numbers does not add up at all. Using 4dof too...308 Example....at 300 meter...3 mph wind = wind drift 0.57. At 300m with a 4 mph wind....it jumps to 0. 75. My point.....I can not find my gun wind number...
@chrisdewet4384 what is you muzzle velocity?
@@matthewsolo5162 It is 1860fps
@@chrisdewet4384 okay I just changed my muzzle velocity to that and set wind to 90° at 3mph and it lined up correctly. 100m - 0.09, 200m - 0.19, 300m - 0.30, 400m - 0.42, 500m - 0.55, 600m - 0.68 So obviously rounding to the nearest 10th, your gun number is 3 mph out to 400m then it bumps up +.1 at 500m, so I’d assume it works out to 450m Make sure you look at the wind only column not total wind. The total wind column will be different cause it accommodates spin drift, and depending on which direction the wind is input from it will give you two completely different numbers.
Making sure your dope is right in your kestrel
That’s a good one, writing that down on the books right now!
it only works if you turn off real world effects (physics--spin drift).. you cant turn off physics when actually shooting. do the math with a 90 degree wind and its off with a 270 degree wind
That is only half correct, find the gun number without your skin drift is how you find your wind number pure. If you know you have a right hand twist and a 270°/left to right wind, depending on your caliber/muzzle velocity you can determine when it changes for example. My 6.5 cm doesn’t become a .1 deviation until 500 yds which is 5cm which is 1.9 inches. Which isn’t significant enough for most people to outshoot. And again this is a guess so it won’t be perfect. Now if you had a left hand twist rifle this entire situation would be in reverse, so it’s important to know the details of your rifle & bullets performance to know when to make the accurate adjustment.
it is 100% correct ..do the math at 90 degree wind and it does not work for 270 degree wind. your reply does not address what i am saying
@mark-rk3pr nope you’re right I apologize, but in the video and written on the board I address in the video @2:38 turning off spin drift… If you keep spin drift on my previous reply references what spin drift adds. I should have read that more carefully the first time I apologize. Either way it’s a technique you don’t have to use it, if you have something better that works for you I’d love to hear it, always looking for new ways to do things. This technique works for me quite effectively so I have implemented and continued to use it for years.
Great ''order of magnitude'' for wing calling skills, Matt.
Thank you I hope it helps out, wind is always the great equalizer.
Sweet tutorial…. cheers

awesome explanation Matt, clarified a lot for me 👍🏼
