I swear i didnt just come for the thumbnail
Same
But your boy creepy joe did
@James Aldridge Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?
Nope, I fan boyed for Simo hayha too much to not try this out....lol
I did
I feel tricked, and quite possibly, bamboozled
Haven't had a chance to test if it holds zero, but mounts just fine and has nice clear glass. Centered vertically true to a plumb line with the crosshairs which is always a plus!It's a great ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope. There's no parallax adjustment or focus ring, so may be limited to 3-7x, have to see how it is on the range. Also be aware that the rings are "look through" so you can still use irons, but they are really tall if you only intend to use the optics. On a 22LR no biggie since I'm not shooting competitions or worried about a hard cheek press. Will boresight and range test, if all goes well, I'll leave it at that!
Thanks
I love Iron sights.
Same! I must preface this by saying this is purely my opinion. I’ve had friends shoot fine with sights sans any time behind open sights. Open sights are like recurve bow shooting for me. Without the basic understanding thereof; you’re going to have a slightly harder time understanding the proper genius that is range estimation and adjustment. The math that goes into both is fairly easy to do, for both Minutes of Angle and Milliradians; but with some iron sight shooting under your belt, it helps you visualize what the gun itself is doing when you sight in an external optic and makes the understanding of the math more integral to your shooting.
Hope everyone reading this is having a FINE day! Good luck and happy ventures!
My father was a shooting instructor during WW11 and trained soldiers to shoot the Springfield rifle at 1000 yard targets with iron sights.. I remember in basic training in 1962 shooting at 500 yards with the M1 with iron sights.
Post a video then
@@antonioangeconeb3196 hahahahaha!!
I find that hard to believe. During WW2 the standards for the M1 rifles were 200-300 yards targets. For M1903 rifles, you had to hit targets at ranges of 300-500 yards. The military never had a 1000 yards target training, even for so-called "snipers."
World war 11 didnt even happen yet but if you mean ww2 then stop the cap because The idea of shooting a 1000 yards didn't even exist at the time not in war nor competition the 1000 yards idea came about quite recently actually with the invention of high power scopes and match grade bullets and sub MOA rifle barrels which none have existed back in the 1940s or 50s or 60s or 70s or even the 80s so again stop the cap
They shot even farther during the Napoleonic wars with Volley fire. Not sure how effective it was then.
I've done this up to 800 yards. The double aperture sights have an orthoptic effect, and the size of the apertures is calculated to fit the bulls-eye at all ranges (constant MOA). When the sights are properly aligned, the target seems to leap into sharp focus. This is, IMHO, Superior to a scope, but of course it only works on the size (in MOA) of targets. All you have to do then is 'dope' the wind.... there are flags for that. The ammunition used was standard 7.62 Nato 147gr FMJ. I managed to put ten rounds within 10" with a single shot Parker Hale target rifle..... Interesting...
came for the thumbnail, stayed for the content. this was actually interesting as hell.
You have a very odd sense of what's attractive.
No scope, No bipod, No rear bag, No Kestrel or a shooting app... NICE!!!!
I hope someone caught that scope you casually threw away
Lol
I was like wtf
lmao
I screamed on the inside when he did that
Probably was a dummy one
"The chief butts officer checked for new holes"
The art of open site shooting is long gone! I remember growing up with old cowboys who could shoot a running deer with one shot! Now everyone needs high dollar scopes.
Times change
It's not gone or dead, it's on life support as everybody moves to F Class due to age/how difficult it is to shoot fullbore target rifle
Most challenging is shooting the .223 caliber US Service Rifle with its iron sights at 1000 yards. It requires Princess & The Pea feel for a consistent position and sight alignment. In addition, wind appraisal skill is essential just to place rounds in the 20 inch 10 ring. My best performance as I recall was a 374 and 6 out of 400. I think in one of those 2 matches I shot a 192. At any rate, it's much harder than iron sight match rifle division, where I earned an American High Power Rifleman distinction for shooting an average of 97%.
the force is strong with this shooters , yeah real shooting , real pros , RESPECT
Shooting long range without a scope, Respect
When I was a member of the Fort Bliss Army Rifle Team I used a match grade M1-A semi auto rifle with glass bedding and match grade ammo and sights. That was back in 1976. My best score was a 197 out of a possible 200 with 7 X's. One shot flew into the 7 ring. Otherwise all shots were 10's or X's.
That shooting is so magnificent, did you get an invitation to shoot on the USAMU Service Rifle Team?
@@charlesludwig9173 and Al Martin: I was in the last platoon (Platoon 279, 1961) in the USMC to train with and then fire the M-1 in basic training at Parris Island. Shot Expert on National A Course using peep sights. Prone from 500 yards, I shot a perfect 50, with 4 of 10 bulls inside the V-Ring.
haha I just realized I met Nigel Ball (0:39 in the video) when I was shooting against Wellington College. It's interesting how due to shooting being such an "exclusive" sport you eventually get to know everyone who is good at it. :D
the thumbnail screams "click, i want views!"
Before a long range shoot I,
- Don't drink (much) caffeine
- Don't eat bananas
- Don't eat a large lunch
- DO eat carrots
Why bananas and carrots.
@@cosieman4877 carrots for A vitamin ( good view ), bananas for
Kolos Barlik thank you 🙏🏻
Vitamin A from beta carotene is quite poorly absorbed, and carrots being good for eyesight is mostly a myth. Eat fat instead, like egg yolks or ghee/butter. Agreed with the rest.
Carrots is bs
I fucking clinched my ass when he tossed that scope.
I miss bisley so much! cant wait to come back once I get myself a new rifle!
It's such a great thing whenever people get their kids shooting Young it's a great bonding experience and plus it's something that can be taught to them that may save their life one day
Yo wtf
i shoot TR with GB, strange seeing interviews with people I know 😂 happy to answer questions
Long Range shooting has always been my interest since my time in Cadets at DCRA in Connaught, best of times.
I own several .22 rifles but don’t have anywhere to practice in Suffolk no ranges and all the farmers are paranoid about you killing someone. I shot competition in the airforce for a while but would love to get back into it again, it’s a great sport.
Get on the nsra website. They'll sort you out with a range. If you no longer have sufficient reason to keep your rifles, your licence will be difficult to renew.
The art of perfection
I only came here for the rear camera angle on the cute girl
me too, didnt feel like watching the whole thing and left
frick poo too that's a gnarly way to speak about you're sister. Hella fucked up
You know there are places you can go where you get MANY MANY ANGLES, of more than a slightly large rear end in jeans..?
:p
Same here.
Gawd, that's nasty. You must get out more....
Had no idea folks did this. Incredible.
Specialists at work. Thanks for showing.
My friends in the Philippine scout ranger who practice iron sights while their buddy puts the target beside their head or on the crotch, the knee cap or the beside the arteries. Beginners go for 20meters to 25 meters to 30 meters and so on. But the target will always be held by their buddy.
Excellent stuff.
Eyyy, Wing Cmdr Peter Turner for the win! Awesome guy
I feel bad for clicking just for the thumbnail, but this was a very interesting video from the start and 15 minutes well spent!
Yes !
The black bullseye is based on a 'minute of angle'. So the black circle appears the same size at any range from 200 yards all the way out to 1,000 yards. They are using a aperture rear & front sight forming a series of concentric rings from the rear sight thru the front with that black bullseye in the center of a white ring. When everything looks centered you break the shot.
Actually you do vary the size of the foresight aperture as you go, at 1000 yards you employ a smaller aperture than at 600 to maintain the ideal amount of white around the black.
@@NickHarman I never needed any adjustment moving from 600 to 1000 yards. Actually 200 to 1000 I used the same aperture.
@@63grandsport11 well whatever works but the received wisdom is to adjust
@@foodepedia1373 All I can say is I was a NRA
High Master for 25 years and was in the first HM group made by the NRA. I Made CMP Distinguished Service Rifle in 4 leg matches within 60 days to make my 30 points with an M1A built at Ft. Benning. Including one leg at Camp Perry. I'm #500 on the CMP list which you can google. I was a International 300 meter Rifle Master and always received invitations to shoot Ft Benning 300 meter Championship. and State Champion many times. I had very good eyes. I have a wall filled with what worked for me. Including the years of coaching some champion shooters. 😎 👍
I shoot with a WW 2 ret army Colonel sniper an he had an 8 inch group at 800 yards with battle peep sight with his M 1 grand an was out shooting me with my scope . Oyster river range warren Maine
Holding an MOA at 800 even with a match-conditioned M1 is extraordinary. Holding 2 MOA at that distance would place the shooter in the top 25 NRA High Master Class Long Range Competitors. So, who is this Colonel?
If that's so, then thank you for your service sir.
In the beginning. They stated that if you hold the center of the black ring on your iron sights you should hit. I’m curious to see if there’s zeroing is 1000 yards
its actually quite easy..the sights use an aperture for a set range to target aslong as you have an even circle front and rear sights and your on the bullseye. there are only adjustments for elevation and windage.
In Australia its the normal way of getting into target shooting
Thanks Quigley!
It's only easy after years of practice to gain a feel for perfect position and sight alignment consistency. BTW what is your NRA Long Range Classification?
Suuuuuuuper easy
Interesting to see how they do it in the UK. Long range shooting is very fun, very hard, and takes much practice.
Im looking for some Galileo match rifle sights for shooting 1200 yds. Anybody know where I can get some?
BAMBI243 there is a one mile shoot in Pennsylvania if you think your that good.
Just a couple of observations: iron sights rather than open sights, and analogy with a horizontal distance and that of a vertical (tower of Big Ben) is bizarre? Surely football pitches would be more appropriate (8 football pitches)?
All you need is a $10000 rifle, a great hand loading set-up and be able to live near a rifle range with 1000 yards to practice.
Anyone can do it!
Thank you for the thumbnail
It's a good challenge, I'm interested.
Much better then the one I hade on board.
It's a shame full-bore shooting isn't more accessible to people in this country.
+Jon Fletcher its perfectly accessible in UK join a club that shoots full bore apply for a FAC unless your a convicted criminal or mentally unstable you get one simple
I use to have a firearms licence. I meant more the accessibility of the shooting grounds. It'd be nice if there were one in every county. Even if the range wasn't very big
+FGYT Shooting How do you go about owning a firearm when you rent your property and aren't allowed to install a safe? Is it possible to own a rifle but have it stored at your club? I'm very interested in starting out but before committing I want to know the ins and outs of not being able to store firearms at your home, I wouldn't need them at home anyway it seems handy to me for it to be always at the club.
+Matt Jarrett If you want to shoot primarily at Bisley, plenty of the club houses provide armouries. I keep my rifles at the range in one of those armouries.
+Matt Jarrett Not sure how it works in the UK. In the US it's not actually even needed, but my dad still bought a gun safe. It's not 'installed'. It's literally a freestanding safe. Big bastard is solid steel and probably heavier than the rest of the house.
Man literally said without the heart of the cards; you’ll miss every time 😂
to be the funny guy here. a rifle bullet depending on calible and such naturally can easily go 2-3000 meters, point the rifle and pull trigger, bullet will unless it hits anything fly unitl it drops, this is about 2-3000 meter and often more.
(yes I know this is about iron sights and making aimed shots to actually hit things)
Yes
What's different between this match and PALMA match? give me some info please.
+SING SONG this is palma type of match...kinda. palma much be chamfered in 308 or 223. long ranges can be in calibre.
Those flags are standing almost straight out. Incredible talent for sure!
Paul. At that distance there are four of those flags, about 25 ft high, in lines, between the shooter and the target, every 200 yards. on Sat 11th Aug my club were shooting in our annual "Catastrophe" match at 900, 1000 @ 1100 yards (same sights etc) . Because of the topography of Bisley, hills, tree lines, open flats etc the wind can, and usually is, a "Ba*****"! Many times you can look along the nearest line of flags, only to have one blowing from left to right, the next one hanging limp, the one after going right to left and the one nearest the target blowing towards you....You can alter those configurations around any which way you want, sometimes from hour to hour. No kidding! Its a beautiful range to shoot on, but is incredibly demanding sometimes.
The wind coaches really have their work cut out, and even trying to hold a rifle steady, with the wind buffeting the barrels & thick foresights around makes it very hard work sometimes. But its always good to be there, whether its baking hot, freezing cold or pi***** with rain, its always better than being at work!
That ittle cannon was super cute hehe..
I like the opening shot of this vid!! Nicely lined up on her "bullseye!! Now just gently squeeze, BANG!! - and follow through!! 🤣👍
Was the thumbnail intentional or is it just the youtube random generated one?
Anyway good video.
How large are those targets? 100”x50”?
That was Bernie Sander at 2:37.
Thumbnail...what were they thinking
Nothing quite like a Sharps 45-110 at over 1,000 yards. Loading your own cartridges is mandatory.
Okay Quigley
Jim The EDC Guy Its good fun. This shooting there in England lacks the most important aspect of the long range shooting fun. You absolute must use black powder, only. With the Holy Black, you get the delicious stench --- I mean smell -- of rotten eggs, with burning sulfur and feathers. And billowing gouts of smoke, lots smoke. There is no substitute for the real experience of the Old Timers.
Props to the average British shooter. Though they don't have the right for Semi and machine guns, ad here in the states, they make up with being excellent shots.
That thumbnail
Never heard of shooting this far with "iron sites" amazing.
iron sights*
Aristophane Chay sits*
It can be tough at first, Ive shot at Bisley in 2015 on the range they are showing, the hardest thing is the wind is normally going many different directions at different points of the range at the same time, so at say 600 its blowing east to west, but at 400 its west to east, its a lot of fun!
Not really 'iron sights' in the groove and post style, usually a ghost ring style like the old Creedmore.
Nigel ball is my shooting master, he is my current teacher
Stephen Giannikas Im guessing you were there last Saturday when my school managed to scrape a win by 3 points :D But still the fact that wellington college has gone 10 years without defeat in 10 bull is just incredible you guys are amazing!
LittleScientist2011 thank you very much, are you from Marlborough I can't remember for the life of me who we faced last Saturday
I still don't know how to shot 1000yrs w no scope? where is the how to? just few small tips?
Ruben Garcia the only tip I can really give you is work your way up. Learn the basics in smallbore and work on your technique there. Then once you feel confident move up to 300/500/600 yards in fullbore and once you've mastered those ranges move on to 900/1000/1200 yards.
The principles of marksmanship (consistent sight alignment and smooth trigger control) are the same for irons or optics. With irons you place the dominate eye to position the front sight post or aperture in the center of the rear aperture and anchor the relationship of sights to eye with a good stock weld. This is easy to make perfect, since the eye naturally wants to center things. That's good, because sight misalignment produces angular error, which increases with distance.
Been there, done that. Well... as a matter of fact I was kicked out of Bisley back in 1991. True fact! Regards
I was there in 92 shooting for the army cadet's. Why did you get kicked out?
I went to the offices asking how to become a member and got into an argument about the requisites to get a handgun license in Australia (my country) and England. I was not going to take any cheeck from them! In the end I thought it was wise not to return. Regards
Lazarus0357 lol. That's funny man.
Noticed there was a box of .308-winchester from a sponsor. Assuming that is one of the calibers used. Could a shooter use a semi-automatic, precision rifle? Or, would that be illegal in the UK? If legal what is the highest legal magazine capacity in the UK.
Glad to see those MOA units utilized. At 1000 yards, one MOA is 10.47-inch. If you can keep groups inside that 10.47" circle, without optics, shooting at 1000 yard target, your good.
If interested there is the National Rifle Association Championships are Rapon, New Mexico. Both known and unknown range categories. Up to .50-caliber can be used. Also there is the annual match championships at Camp Perry, Ohio. If your good enough you possibly could be awarded the President's 100 award. Not easy to obtain. Try it out.
Thanks for this. Unfortunately, semi-auto full-bores are restricted in the UK. / Charlie
.308 WIn is 7.62mm. In the UK we now use metric
What caliber do they shoot?
7.62
Exactly,gentleman's sports（´･(ｪ)･｀）ｸﾏｰ
Thumbnail is niiice
bring back the 303s
I know my eyes aren't good enough to shoot 300yds without a scope.
Get some specific "shooting glasses".
6.11 thats how i shoot from Portugal with no scope
All us Corona cabin bound frustrated guys saw that cover and couldn’t click on it fast enough lol!
I only came here because I thought there would be advice, or some sort of coaching. Should have looked who posted it
you should put 360 no scope on the title so you get million views.
Reminds me Martin Riggs
you should be able to hit with pulse
Wow, 1000 yards with ghost rings. Certainly better than me
its a lot of fun, if you ever get the chance try it!
Xiellion I do shoot ar irons out to 600 meters and that's pushing my limits. I would like to try a service rifle match though.
ah yes, ill really need this tutorial for school tomorrow
Small ball?
As a member of my New Zealand high school shooting team in the 1960's we often shot out to 1000 yards with open sights using full wooded ex army .303 rifles......no big deal
I want a cannon car. No engine. It just shoots massive white clouds of smoke and toilet paper out the back propelling me forward into the sunset while inside I sit plastered to the front seat. Smiling, doubled up on earplugs :)
ça c'est des véritables tireurs :) tout est très facile avec une lunette...
Pawg😁
Can`t one reload in Britain?
+Rupert McNaught Davis Yes - but for this competition they use a single standard ammunition. / Charlie
Thanks Charlie,strength to your reporting arm,from South Africa.
Not for me. Who can work up the best round is all part of the battle. Having the same round levels the playing field. I like auto racing where all the cars are the same. This would be fun with a rainbow of a round like the 45-70.
I understand it's 7.62 155gr 'Match' ammunition by GGG of Lithuania - but more than that, I don't know - sorry. / Charlie
Surprised to see uncased firearms behind the firing line, also the poor muzzle control.
?
Agreed heads would roll of you saw that at a match here in the states
wow you can't even see the target
Started young at "14". Over here, we're handed an AR15 on our first birthday and expected to reassemble it blindfolded while singing God Bless America.
PepperoniGaming lol y'all white folks crazy
Been shooting since i was 3!
PepperoniGaming air rifles at 5 and 22 at 7 and my first gun at 10.
Ah yes, but how many of you shoot at 1000 + yds, without a scope and actually hit anything?
@@ericwilliams2317 just about nobody shoots 1000 yards without a scope, let alone 500 yards without one.
00:05:22 Imagine holding an infant and letting a crowd of people carry you in a chair... with your infant. Must be a bong thing. Its horrifying.
i want to learn how to shot.mostly w/a scoop
You can go to most gun ranges and rent a gun and hire an instructor .
Mom used to say piffle...joy to hear the word again
The Bisley is the match that caused the formation of the NRA
The ammo seem to be really "international" so to speak, they have a British guy and a representative the Estonian company who, judging by his mname is either a Lithuanian or a Lithunian Russian. 8D
"How to shoot (a 2 FOOT TARGET) at 1000 yards without a scope". I still need a scope when I shoot at a 10" target at 1k.
3.7 feet.
I thought they banned all guns from England. Glad it's not true. The wife and I love shooting it's our hobby.
No. The government banned semi- auto fullbore rifles back in 97 I think it was, and fullbore handguns several years after that, both times because of "Nut Jobs" going on a killing spree, taking out a lot of people on both occasions. Thankfully, this seems to have worked as regards to "mass shootings"
We can still own semi-auto .22 rimfire rifles & certain fullbore pistols, but these have to comply with some very strict rules, mainly regarding overall length.
If anyone ever tells you we don't have firearms in this country, get them to watch this vid.
Bisley, 150 yrs and still going strong!
1000 yards.... Pfffff. Gewehr 1898 already got iron sight all the way to 2000 yards 😅
How to shoot 1000 yards no scope
With your eyes
The U.K. Really knows how to make shooting inaccessible/over-complicated.
its really not difficult, the cadet programs do it and their children
Yep, rules eh - who needs them?
Should have said it's relatively inexpensive, at first.
I came from the thumbnail
So this is Palma...
I can't believe he tossed that scope as if it weren't worth hundreds of dollars
I think someone was there ready to catch it, don't you?
