When you started shooting you must have been a great listener. You are very experienced and have mastered the difficult sport of shooting. I take my hat off to you. Oh, you are able to explain/describe shooting principals in your instruction clearly. Very few coaches can do that. You have put a lot into your instruction dialog and it works well for you. Again great shooter and great coach.
This is why no scope shadow is wrong. In precision/long range shooting world you MUST have a consistent width scope shadow all the way around. This is the only way to ensure your eye placement is centered and consistent every time
That was an excellent video. Here's what I did so hopefully it helps someone. I bought a wheeler scope level system but I only used half of the kit. What I did was leveled my rifle as best I could, then I used a fishing string hanging from the ceiling. Shine a flashlight through the front of the scope, so backwards, and shined the reticle on the wall. Lined my reticle to the plumb Bob of the string, then tightened the scope down. Rifle, scope, level method. After I rechecked several times, I added a Vortex scope bubble level. Verified it to the rifle level and locked it down on my scope. Rifle, scope, level.
Oh. I am astonished!!! How is it reality!!! A very pretty and young lady with a nice voice, good language and pronunciation, speaking about my favorirte subject (shooting) . It is like a beautiful dream!!!!!!!
Well heck!! that explains the difference from my bench shooting to my off-hand shooting. I've been resting the rifle in my shoulder and shots are low right with a good group.... back to the drawing board. This is why I love shooting. Thanks Kirsten!!
Gun level isn't important: it's the optic that HAS to be level. Like the lady said, some shooters build cant into the rifle to have a better fit in the pocket (say goodbye to any weak side shooting, but if you don't expect to shoot on your weak side, go for it). Every scope should have a bubble.
@@cynthiaclarke3979 Through the scope? Then let's pray their shooting hand is controlled so there can be no accident of bang at the hottie through the barrel...
@@tonyfei472 - Like me,she could stand behind me..smiles.I use a laser pointer to calibrate my scope (old cross hair) for 200 yards..lands within the second ring to bullseye..
So figured out I was naturally canting my rifle, and added a level to my scope. Groups have gotten tighter for sure. Now I’m having to break this bad habit I’ve ingrained!
My bullets always seem to warp space-time and hit in another dimension. Occasionally they don't do that and those are the ones that actually make holes in my intended target. I know this because I would never miss.
Kristen: The most common fault I find with shooters is they anticipate the recoil and either push the rifle forward slightly or close their eyes or do both. I have corrected this fault in many shooters and next year they come back and tell me their deer harvest story. It's great.
When I was a boy I joined the Junior NRA. We used Winchester model 52s. The first lesson I learned was about gun cant and cheek to stock placement. This lesson has served me well over the years.
If you watch this video enough times you'll eventually start to notice that the woman is talking. Once you get past that point and are able to hear her, great video! yay guns!
I shot an M-16 A2 in the United States Army, and it was open sight and we were taught how to shoot in all different positions, including tilting them sideways. I was right on.
Me at the range telling myself, "I think I can, I think I can!" Shoots and misses. Me now using the excuse, "Yes I can, but my "gun cant...". Thanks Kirsten! Long-time subscriber and fan.
I learned this the hard way when shooting competitively in high school. I thought it wouldn't be an issue if I did it consistently, but matching the same angle every time we went out, or even shot to shot was impossible. It's easy to replicate level, not so much for an arbitrary angle.
An easy training fix is to mount a scope level when you sight the rifle in...leave the level on the gun when you shoot and practice holding the gun level while shooting until it becomes natural...could take a while for some people and not so long for others...but it does work 🙂 keep up the great videos Kirsten...your knowledge is invaluable to the gun community 👍🏻
For my long distance rifle I blocked it used a level with deviation of 0.0005, then mounted my scope and set with same level. While shooting I hold my rifle until the vertical reticle is going up and down on the target, cant gone. Then I hold the horizontal pause breathing while squeezing. When I cant with pistol or long gun I know when I squeeze if I am canted. I also reload and collect data. Reloads greatly reduce the differences in finished ammunition.
@ Tony Williams edit Whoops, been a while since I set up my long rifle. The scale is actually 0.0001" deviation per mark. My apologies, I noted the correction because I am known for being a bit too meticulous.
We don't live on a spinning ball hurtling through space,gravity is only a theory, water seeks it's own level, density explains a lot, ....do some research 🤪...why would our government lie? Gulf of Tonkin,9/11, the moon landings, and COVID 19 🐂💩🤪
Hi Kirsten, I love your videos. I'm new to shooting. I just went out and bought a.177 pellet rifle. Only because I can't afford to buy a rifle that goes real bullets. Plus I would be required to register and obtain a permit to sweetie and keep it. Therefore I would be required to renew the permit every year.
As a teen / young adult I hunted with a partner who preferred to shoot rabbit /upland birds from the hip. We were shooting shotguns but this guy was very good at his chosen method. No dogs , no drives , just two guys dressed in canvas duck from head to toe who could get their limits most every time out - yes we hunted for food - back when hunting was still affordable.
Kirsten Joy Weiss could you do a video and accuracy test a Tavor X95 someone of your marksmanship should be able to tell it's it's the rifle or the shooter.
Most important at long range 300 and out . I keep a short level in my shooting bag and level my target before stapling it to the stop then I can use the edge of the target with my cross hairs even at 600 meters where I cant see the lines on the target . It is important to have your scope aligned with the center of your rifle when mounting it also . Thanks Kirstin great video . And thanks for all your support in the fight to keep our gun rights , so important .
Something I have to correct you on is that the height of the sightline above the boreline has an impact - it doesn’t. The two important things are where the sighline points (at the middle) and where the boreline points (so that the POI coincides with the sightline). Where the sightline points and where the boreline points will/must always be the same regardless of the physical separation between them on the Rifle. It’s a common misconception which I was once also guilty of.
Nice tips. When you said the word plumb talking about the bubble level you moved your hands horizontally. Just to help you out, level is horizontal and plumb is vertical. Again, good video.
Thank you and God bless, I have always had a problem with canting my rifle, and getting my scope to perfectly set and level on top. Due to my fat head I guess. I appreciate the explanation of how that works. I have a WWII German K98 with a period correct scope on it I have been trying to get sighted in, it's been fun. I know the rifle is quite accurate, but with my old eyes, shooting in braille is no fun hence the need for the scope. Again thanks, and God bless you.
Cant is not the issue for me. When I miss there is usually a twig involved. The area where I do my 22lr plinking has a lot of small trees that pop up between mowings. It is totally amazing how fast I can use up a 10 shot magazine trying to dislodge a golf ball from a 3-inch pine.
Thank you so much for bringing to my attention how important scope cant is!!! Some times shooting from a range bag in the prone position is uneven and has been causing me problems shooting long distances! I'm glad I found your web cast!
Intelligent, beautiful and deadly perfect combo! I am actually a shooter who can't my rifle left in towards my body quite a bit. Now is 0 to 300 yards I was able to hit deer with my 308 consistently and never have to follow up a shot. However I started shooting competition airguns and since learned to level my scope and train myself to hold the gun straight. With an air rifle all of my inconsistencies were magnified. Maybe cover trigger tecniques too? Great video and gives me hope maybe someday I'll find a girl that enjoys shooting as much as I do! Keep up the good work!
Very informative video, I used to have some issues with cant, especially when I was using the Harris bipod since there's a lot of lateral movement that can creep in with it if it isn't tighten down super tight. I've worked on it and I think I've gotten better and I got one of the Accu-Levels put on my longer range stuff to make sure it doesn't creep back in. Appreciate all the work you do for gun rights and the wonderful videos; on behalf of all of us out there you have our tanks ;)
If you're still sponsored by Lapua, you should do an extreme long range video with a 338 Lapua. Explain what's involved and such. Yes, there are some videos out there that do it, but they sound more like lectures and take a while. You tend to get the point across in a much smaller video. Besides.....I'd like to see what you're capable of past 1000 yards :)
Think of it this way, if you draw a vertical line through your bore and sights, that is the plane that the bullet will rise through. If that plane is perfectly vertical. the bullet will rise and then fall through the exact same plane (wind and spin drift excluded). If you cant the gun to the left then that line cants to the left as well and the bullet rises to the left but falls straight down rather than staying in the same plane as your line. Vice versa to the right. Your line must be parallel with the pull of gravity which may not be perpendicular with the horizon, that's why those little bubble levels that attach to your rifle can be handy. As Kirsten points out, a good marksman will assure that the rifle (line) is vertical and do it every time. With practice you can instinctively estimate vertical with a high degree of accuracy.
@@vanya757 I was an expert rifleman and rifle range coach in the Marine Corps. I enjoy helping people to learn to shoot well. Non-shooters tend to think you just pick up a gun, point it, pull the trigger, and your bullet will hit the target because that's the way it happens in the movies... in the real world, good shooting requires knowledge and skill. Anti-gunners don't understand that hitting that target is the successful combination of the two and that it is fun to learn, practice, and succeed.
You were a secret gamer...not any more! I have never been a secret gamer, it's just something I can't hide! Keep gaming and keep shooting. And keep filming!
Randorita Not much of a secret, but yes very subtle about it. There are some hints in past videos. Mainly mentioning/referencing games (CoD, BF) and using a xbox 360 controller for b-roll footage in one of her videos.
Yes it's amazing how so many things affect shooting. I reload my own ammo my self. You make a good pount about cross hairs. I never gave it much thought. But out of habbet I have always held my vertical line vertical. Just seems natural to me.
How doesn't love gold!!!? That's a very good question 😰🤔 😃I get it.. ofcourse me. Otherwise I would not be sitting here watching your wonderful videos leaving behind a whole mountain waiting for me to dig in and get gold out 😂... Thank you for all that work just to give us great info about the greatest thing in the world.😊💙💙
Iam new to your channel, but I did enjoy the info and do run bubble levels when allowed on my target rifle. I shoot the service rifle div. Anyway cool channel keep up the good work.
This is true for archery shooters also. The same forces affect arrow flight and sighting in with rear string peep and front sight pins. Canting the bow left or right can make a perfect shot a miss. Please address the problems of scope parallax in one of your future videos. The struggle is real!
Thanks for the advice Kirsten. I've noticed some people have a spirit level on their scope or mount. This explains it. Glad you mentioned Dunkirk. My senior term paper in high school was on Dunkirk. It was a miraculous evacuation. Winston Churchill used the event to challenge the English on to victory in WWII.
Great video. Too bad you didn't also talk about shooting uphill and downhill. I remember an antelope hunt in my youth where I shot downhill from the top of a hill, and my shot did not hit where I intended. Perhaps you could talk about this in another video.
Oh, there's plenty of aspects to talk about. :) Just helped a guy with this exact thing, he was on an antelope hunt too and couldn't figure out why his shot didn't hit. But he told me he was shooting downhill... so I knew what happened ;) and could help him
Is it true that when shooting uphill/downhill to aim low?? I once put 3 arrows in a 3 inch circle tree just above the Bucks back shooting 45° downhill at 25 yds before the deer finally spooked & ran off. On level ground could put 3 in 3 inch all the time at same distance. Was told later I SHOULD have aimed under belly of deer for a center shot & it was the same uphill or down.
Imagine the dance card backlog this beautiful woman has after months of Covid lockdown. Glad to see she’s humble enough to include bloopers. So many women these days will take 100 selfies & pass it as one original shot. Nice job mom & dad!
I go to the range and shoot terrible groups with my two scoped guns me and my son both shooting terrible groups and I have a lot of training, Police and military with a little competition shooting. So I think my fundamentals are bad We are doing something wrong? We are also shooting the old Winchester 30/30 open sites 100 yards and painting a 1.5 inch group, which I consider pretty good and my son also gets a nice group. Sometimes it is the gun!
Glad someone brought that up. It drives me nuts to see even some law enforcement people hold their pistols that way. This is not a political statement so don't take it there.
It'll be interesting how ballistics is affected once we get to the space faring point, assume we're still using projectile weapons at that point, in places where gravity is reduced (or increased to be fair) or even non-existent. This could get very interesting. Sorry I was working on one of my books glanced over and saw this video playing and the thought occurred to me. I think it's safe to say that my brain storms might just be classified as hurricanes.
kirsten, beauty and brains. i wondered about cant, now you have confirmed it. what a valuable video. i much prefer a pretty face , instead of a furry one explaining this, as long as you know the subject, and you do .

For me, it's usually because I'm distracted by the pretty girl on lane #5
There is no cure for that.
Murica 1776 take your wife. I have found it cures a lot of looking, not just at women at the range but also guns I want and don't need.
I am pretty sure a wife is the cure. Or a wife has the cure for it? it's one or the other, I have been happily married for so long I forget which. :^)

I've never thought about tilting error :) thanks for the lesson !
I read the Great War manual for shooting the LE. 303 and the first thing they say is having the rifle vertical.
Gun level isn't important: it's the optic that HAS to be level. Like the lady said, some shooters build cant into the rifle to have a better fit in the pocket (say goodbye to any weak side shooting, but if you don't expect to shoot on your weak side, go for it). Every scope should have a bubble.
With a long enough barrel or low enough scope mount, you can see the end of the barrel move off center.
Get a scope level
and what if it's not tilted? now what? she didn't really give a full lesson on POA vs POI.
First of your videos I’ve seen! Blown away. Very intelligent woman who speaks well. And obviously knows her topics! Sub’d.
If I took a perfect shot and I missed, I blame the rifle, and ammo, and bi-pods, and the weather, and the fart I just did...
...and you'd be right...
This is funny
@Tony Fei - Why they missed..they was looking at the hottie and not the target..

When you said the word plumb talking about the bubble level you moved your hands horizontally. Just to help you out, level is horizontal and plumb is vertical.
Again, good video.

In your personal experience, is it better for someone to shoot an inch too short, or an inch too long?

That's a very good question
😰🤔
😃I get it..
ofcourse me. Otherwise I would not be sitting here watching your wonderful videos leaving behind a whole mountain waiting for me to dig in and get gold out 😂...
Thank you for all that work just to give us great info about the greatest thing in the world.😊💙💙
Interesting. Scope height is a factor. Think I'll use my Anti Cant bubble more.
Iam new to your channel, but I did enjoy the info and do run bubble levels when allowed on my target rifle. I shoot the service rifle div. Anyway cool channel keep up the good work.
This is true for archery shooters also. The same forces affect arrow flight and sighting in with rear string peep and front sight pins. Canting the bow left or right can make a perfect shot a miss.
Please address the problems of scope parallax in one of your future videos.
The struggle is real!

That helps explain why I missed that running coyote at 200 yards . . . four times.
Girls that shoot......mmmmmmm....Knowledgeable pretty girls that shoot.....MMMMMMMMMM...!
She all most as good as nut
I probably missed because I thought about Kirsten Joy Weiss!!😍
Thanks for the advice Kirsten. I've noticed some people have a spirit level on their scope or mount. This explains it. Glad you mentioned Dunkirk. My senior term paper in high school was on Dunkirk. It was a miraculous evacuation. Winston Churchill used the event to challenge the English on to victory in WWII.
Great video. Too bad you didn't also talk about shooting uphill and downhill. I remember an antelope hunt in my youth where I shot downhill from the top of a hill, and my shot did not hit where I intended. Perhaps you could talk about this in another video.
Oh, there's plenty of aspects to talk about. :) Just helped a guy with this exact thing, he was on an antelope hunt too and couldn't figure out why his shot didn't hit. But he told me he was shooting downhill... so I knew what happened ;) and could help him
Is it true that when shooting uphill/downhill to aim low?? I once put 3 arrows in a 3 inch circle tree just above the Bucks back shooting 45° downhill at 25 yds before the deer finally spooked & ran off. On level ground could put 3 in 3 inch all the time at same distance. Was told later I SHOULD have aimed under belly of deer for a center shot & it was the same uphill or down.
Imagine the dance card backlog this beautiful woman has after months of Covid lockdown. Glad to see she’s humble enough to include bloopers. So many women these days will take 100 selfies & pass it as one original shot. Nice job mom & dad!
I go to the range and shoot terrible groups with my two scoped guns me and my son both shooting terrible groups and I have a lot of training, Police and military with a little competition shooting.
So I think my fundamentals are bad We are doing something wrong? We are also shooting the old Winchester 30/30 open sites 100 yards and painting a 1.5 inch group, which I consider pretty good and my son also gets a nice group. Sometimes it is the gun!
Currently, it appears 12 wanted to like this video, but they cant.
Good to know, all I use right now are iron sights . Thanks
Try to explain this to a Gangsta. Lol.
Why would you want to do anything to make a "gansta" more able to hit what they're aiming at? I know you're just joking ...

Please don't.
They compensate for the cant by throwing the barrel at the target as they pull the trigger.
Glad someone brought that up. It drives me nuts to see even some law enforcement people hold their pistols that way. This is not a political statement so don't take it there.
Now if I can just explain the up hill, down hill to them the way you could, maybe they'll get that to . Thanks. BTW . Do you have a video on that ??
How did I miss this channel for so long? Subbed!
It'll be interesting how ballistics is affected once we get to the space faring point, assume we're still using projectile weapons at that point, in places where gravity is reduced (or increased to be fair) or even non-existent. This could get very interesting. Sorry I was working on one of my books glanced over and saw this video playing and the thought occurred to me. I think it's safe to say that my brain storms might just be classified as hurricanes.
kirsten, beauty and brains. i wondered about cant, now you have confirmed it. what a valuable video. i much prefer a pretty face , instead of a furry one explaining this, as long as you know the subject, and you do .
Wouldn't tilting scope to the left cause impact to be right of point of aim and vice versa
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit it and of course for positing it for our benefit. Keep up the good work! -Migs
Shooting education is hot!
