An old F-class shooter let me borrow his Phoenix bipod and protektor last weekend. He was showing the difference between my setup and a legit fclass setup. It was a game changer. He told me to let it free recoil and not put any weight on the cheek rest or the grip when shooting. I shot 5 shots at 500yds and made 1 black mark on the steel target. Stacked shot after shot. Amazing!
I tend to do nearly free recoil. It makes a big difference vs loading bipods and isolating your bicep to pull back into your shoulder. I want to be as relaxed as possible for each shot - loading things does not equal relaxed.
I just watched all your videos and I must admit that you teach very well. I'm impressed by the quality of the content, mostly the practical analysis of the shooting method/gear. Thanks Man!
Thanks for your videos man. Tomorrow I get to shoot for the first time in 3 weeks....and I'll be doing more testing with some 245 EOLs with RL-26 in the 300PRC. I'll also be sporting the Phoenix Bipod and Protektor bag.....but with an Adjustable Bag Rider....which adds even more fine adjustment for those 1 mile + shots. Should be a great year for ELR!
Not to long ago I got a Tract Toric. For the money, I'm quite happy. It works at most ranges where I shoot my 300 PRC. However, I've been dialing in my new 37 XC and plan to push 2 miles as soon as the BLM land near me opens up after fire season. It won't quite be enough for that range.
I run a protektor 13b heavy with atlas cal. Being in between notches sucks. Id run something more like that phoenix, but its too wide. I shoot from caldwell stable table cuz thats how i hunt prairie dogs. Atlas should make a different leg with half notches. Problem solved.
Yeah - I love the Atlas, but when it's not at the right height, I hate muscling the bag around to get there. I haven't seen after-market legs with closer detents, but someone should make some. I get why they are wide - it makes sense for matches where speed is critical - but otherwise it's a bit of a pain.

Strongly suggest the Longshot precision adjustable bag rider. Micrometer level of adjustment is available with this device.
Hey, thanks for another great video! Keep up the awesome work!!
Hi Russell, thanks for the comment!
Would you define Tactical targets as Full Size IPSC to 1000 yards ? Or 1 MOA targets up to 1000 yards ?
What spotting scope are you using? I'm in the market for one if you have any recommendations! thanks

Here is a video I did reviewing the Tract. ua-cam.com/video/LddxkBOT4PI/v-deo.html
what tripod is that on the labradar?
It's the one that they sell. I'm only marginally happy with it.
How wide is the protector?
Probably about 5 inches.
