I went through the Army Sniper School. I always tell people that I went through lots of military schools...Airborne, Jumpmaster, Air Assault, Ranger...but the toughest by far was Sniper School. Hey Karl, good thing your sniper buddy/spotter was such a badass that you hit your final shot on the first shot. My sniper buddy was this young laidback skinny kid...a real natural. I don't think we ever had a doubt we would pass and we worked together great. I never forgot that experience or him and always wondered what became of him. Well, low and behold I see a vid by Karl and I'm like...damn that voice...I know that voice...I search for sniper school vids by him and here we are. If you look at the pic of Sniper Class 3-89 Karl, even though he didn't point it out, is on the left end facing the camera...that guy to his left, his sniper buddy for that class...yep, that's me. Catching up on all your vids now Karl...reach out if you see this.
That "ill be damned" moment from one of the instructors had me laughing hard lmao! Thats a real sniper, adapting and experimenting with the rule of the sniper. Survivor's mentality 101. 💯
The Vintage Rifle Shooters Club channel has outstanding real-time and slow motion footage of bullet traces. It's amazing how much 7.62x39 arcs versus 30-'06.
Awesome, awesome, AWESOME! Ok Karl if I had to pick my 5 favorite videos you have produced, this one is on the list!! You had me on the edge of my seat with the descriptions of the walkers getting right up to you. And the standing shot video is amazing! Obviously I’m not, and never will be a sniper but I do enjoy hunting and there is in my opinion a lot of really good information here. As well as lessons learned. Thanks for sharing the story of you and Tod on that final shit mission. Definitely something to remember. Consistency. Attention to detail. Thanks Karl!! 🇺🇸
Not that I'll every be a sniper, but as a Viet Nam era vet , I find this very interesting. Especially about the last shoot with you and Tod. Nice presentation. Thanks.
American civilians like myself have tremendous pride in our fighting forces. That pride is based on men just like you, who take their jobs deadly seriously. We owe you a LOT. Thanks for your service.
First off extremely impressive video and stories on the final shots on stalks all being standing!!! Fairly recent graduate of the sniper school for the Army here, It's insane to compare the past to present and the changes to the POI. The changes I noted so far are the final shot is conducted still but is no longer a go home event. Now the stalks are still conducted however no longer a graded event, and the ghillie suit is not supplied to be made while attending. You need to have it pre-made prior to arrival. The Army has a new adopted ghillie suit, with NSN of course, the IGS. You don't get to operate a handheld LRF. The known distance targets are not as far now. All stalks are conducted as a team, and not only are you busted if they walk on you but also any of your equipment. So your drag bags etc. all has to be within the 10 feet as well. If anyone wants to talk about preparation prior to leaving for the schoolhouse, feel free to reach out to me. I'd love to see any and everyone who cares for the craft attend and graduate. Awesome video, I love hearing stories from everyone who works in this field of work for the military.
It is always fun listening to the stories of training. Do you remember the training for the first kill? This is the part most kids have no clue about. It is sad that kids think it will be glorious, which is a result of games and poor teaching. I have found hunting predators to be the best training. If you want to get a label of crazy, hunt in high grass with a pistol. The shot is point blank and you do run a higher chance of shooting yourself. I used this method to get over a bad case of PTSD about 20 yrs ago.
my son's in that class right now. he passed iron sight test and the next 2 test. . identify things in the grid and the distance one. hes been shooting since he was 3. he had an ar when he was 11. I grew up in eastern Kentucky shooting all the time. me and him wld shoot hundreds of rounds of 22 when he was little and I'd pick small things for him to shoot ,like branches of saplings,ice cycles spent 22 casings. it was fun. wed yry to sneak up on turkeys or deer and try to touch them. didnt happen very much but was fun. that's not to say think he'll pass this class.didnt mean any disrespect I'm super nervous for him. I know there's alot more to it than shooting. I'm not trying trying to sound like a dick.but this was a great video. thank you sir
Nice walk-thru of your experiences,…. Kinda cool to listen to. Thanks Karl I’m former Navy ,… we called those big binos which were mounted on ships “big eyes”
"I sleep well at night no matter what i have seen" some do what many can't comprehend, it's that peace in the heart that only comes from God. excellent presentation, i learned much, thanks.
Damn this was fun to watch. Ive always wanted to be a sniper. Such a tedious, detailed, and precise profession. And you can sway the tempo of a battle. Awesome video thank you for sharing.
All army school structures: if you get through the first half you're almost guaranteed to deal with final challenges. Sf sniper school on last day: time for the hardest part lol
as others have said, I was on the edge of my seat for this one. lots of fascinating stories and interesting facts. I'm glad that Todd was able to make it on his second go-round.
Snipers are the ones who have learned how to weaponize math ! Learning to shoot LD PRS has not only increased my shooting skills, but has also laid to rest that “I’ll never use this (math) after I graduate from high school”…!!!
My first answer to people who want to get into precision shooting (sports wise) is always "find your high school math book or find a free course online" lol
@@Sk0lzky… Math has always been my strong subject. Later in life my job called for a lot of algebra. Plus, I have the ability to do complex computations in my head, as long as I can use rounded numbers (close but not precise)…
My math teacher was a drunk who lost his driver's license and kept a Mickey in his desk, so I'm not going to take all the responsibility, but I didn't understand radians until watching Ryan Cleckner's video, but then it was brain dead simple and i felt really dumb for not getting it sooner! I wish more real examples were used in teaching kids math.
class 3! mad respect from onr B4 to another. a lot has changed since 89' but field craft and fundamentals haven't! ITS WILD HOW SIMILAR 1989 AND 2011 AND 2013 WAS AT THIS SCHOOL. I went twice if you can tell by my comment, my two were very different yet you described the course and i felt like we saw the same thing
I was a Seabees NMCB5 qualified expert w/ M16. Top shooter w/ score of 198. Bùt a Chief shoot a 199 to win a case of beer.Was bull because he shot @ the range when nobody's there. Wanted to go to sniper school but i wore glasses. Tis life.
This is better than Christmas! Did you attend the 5th group sniper school after you got to group or did you go straight to SOTIC since you were already sniper qualified from the big army school?
Was a partly technical video. If uou stuck through to the end, there us slight hope that you might fancy a career behind the glass.

Am I the only one who always thinks of Bill Paxton a God / Floyd Dane, in Navy Seals whenever you hear Sniper? I don't know why, but he was one of the first and most iconic snipers (in movies)
This was a great video I wish I would have made it through SFAS but had a medical out on day 17. Love your content and can't wait to watch and learn more from you!!!!
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us civilians. I bet you're an awesome instructor, because of being such an incredible student. God bless you, and thank you for mentioning your God given talent and for all you do! I once met a long ago Army sniper who when I'd made mention of the name Kithcart, he said to me Kithcart? Yes LtCol David M Kithcart, he said to me Kithcart, now that's a name I haven't heard in a long long time... He then began telling me he still remembers as a Sniper, him meeting Kithcart in a class who was at Ft Benning teaching them "How to obtain/ extract certain kinds of information from certain kinds of people/prisoners"... lol as he laughed to himself... he then reflecting on Kithcart some more said that many years later he was there one year up at Camp Perry, Ohio where Kithcart gave the shooters there not a religious message, but a very how should I say this, a very "inspirational message" speech before the match! Even with my own personal connection to Kithcart came to be such a special sharing of the Anointing of Christ, to be passed on to my bestfriend who would many years later share in those "Gifts of God" who ended up being a spotter for the Command Sergeant Major with TF626 named John... Small world isn't it!
@@TacticalRifleman , Thanks but the real honor goes to the men and women in service and those who's actually served in the military. I've never been in any service or in the military, but support those who do. I've always been fascinated with the Military, and even as a kid I'd dress up in camo and play Army in the woods. What started with making my own toy guns from stick and nails, pieces of wood , later turned to a brief time, creating idea suggestions for military weapons development. In January of 1995, I was invited to Knight's Armament company in Vero Beach, by Doug Olson. I got to spend eight days there as I had this nerf basketball goal as a kid that the orginal design ideas for the rail Key Mod Idea came from when I gave it to Eric Kincel. But now its the Mag Pul Mlok that the military uses today. I also got to see one of my Ideas be developed for a rail scope mount idea , that came from the foretelling of a dream, about two SF guys hanging on a cliff... later in Dalton Fury's book, I read an account of what I'd seen in part from the dream that had led to the development of the same scope rings used on those guys SR25 rifles hanging on a cliff in Afghanistan hunting Osama Bin Laden. I had also suggested to Doug Olson that they should develop a design idea copied from the WW2 German FG42 paratrooper rifle, and Doug looked at me, and said "That's a great Idea , I think we will, and the rest is history as they say, it became their BUIS 200m/600m iron sight used by the military still. I had other ideas like the original ball detent from a air hose connector for their newest sound suppressors, but at the time my suggestions got shoved to the back , until another engineer with the same idea came up with it, and it's now in use aswell. I also got to suggest ideas for the Ares 86 machine gun that became the Stoner model 96 . Heck I even had the man himself Eugene Stoner looking over my shoulder listening to my design suggestions, talking with another engineer there about how under combat stress you loss finite muscle movements, and how the button on the stock to deploy it needed to be reversed so that it was a push button rather than pull, as all you have is major muscle movements to grab it and go, as Stoner nodded his head and had his characteristic half frown and half smile on his face. But don't get me wrong here either, I never worked for Knight's Armament or took a penny for those designs suggestions ... if anything they thought I was reading their mail, that I'd stolen there ideas somehow or had some involvement with the stolen weapons or some connection to their leaks of information. Later on however Reed Knight said to me , "We know it's "Legit Knowledge" that you have.".. Ofcourse I knew that , I even told them, that God gave me those ideas. After I'd passed their CIA background investigation, It was Reed Knight himself who sold me a prototype of one of the early Delta Force contract SR25 sniper rifles. Trey Knight said, you know your only the second civilian to own one! It was a former Commander who was the first civilian at his retirement party was given a SR25... Later when my best friend was in Iraq, he was told by John, your coming with us! My buddy came home and said Dave thanks to you, I got to go with them "Army guys" and do what they do! They even treated me, he said, like he was one of them... He said, Being with them, saved my life in combat! And as for the proof of this Anointing of Christ, from Kithcart, well lets just say that out of all those Marines from 2/1 on that deployment, including their Captain, all of them received the Purple Heart but the one kid, and that's because of my buddy going MIA with Delta then in 2004 during that time those two weeks where he helped spot enemy targets and even spotted the Russian military sniper they'd been hunting for and killed as they congratulated him by saying is there anyone in the world you'd like to speak to? , including the President! When your life is on the line... Only the Finest will do... You are those Finest I was thinking of!
I had a friend fail Sniper school but recycled and passed but anyways during stalks he said the walker stepped over him and with the huge step he had to take the spotter spotted it and he said he was pissed like dude just step on me lol.
Wow.. The game Ghost Sniper Contracts 2 It has this tatical both bullet trajectory and bullet drop in the scope.. zero to 1,500 meters. They didn't put a spitter wityh Sniper though. What your saying makes sense but hearing the ecperience just helos a whole lot. Thanks for sharing.
bonjour vidéo sympathique qui explique bien la complexité de cette discipline de sniper dans les armées du monde . la sommes de connaissances qu'il faut savoir et apprendre pour devenir un sniper accomplie mais c'est aussi cela qui rend cette activité passionnante et utile le camouflage la discrétion du déplacement l'observation analyse en temps réelle des informations sur l'objectif et les ruses que l'on apprend au travers de sa propre expérience sur le terrains que soit expérience entrainement ou expérience en opération merci pour se partage vidéo cordialement
A guy sitting at a table talking for 42 minutes... and I can't turn away. Thanks for letting some of us live vicariously through you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
First 2 minutes of the video he blatantly lies about being in Delta.
That was the fastest 40 minute video that I’ve ever seen. Young Karl!!!

I would be great to catch up with you
Love the little smirk when you took your head cover off in the video, you can tell you were in your element!!!
I love being behind the sniper rifle
This is one of your best "storytime" type of videos. Attention to detail and persistence...
Glad you enjoyed it!

Karl would you believe I didn’t see one add the entire video. Awesome stuff. Thanks for the video.
Im definitely one that was not well suited for that school . Fortunately the world needs door kickers too . Cool vid Karl . RLTW
Thanks Karl! Always great to hear about your experiences at this schools! Please post more!
More to come!
I could listen to these stories all day.
Nice walk-thru of your experiences,…. Kinda cool to listen to.
Thanks Karl
I’m former Navy ,… we called those big binos which were mounted on ships “big eyes”
Great story telling Sarge. My favorite part is they're true stories. Thank you for standing on that wall Mr. Erickson.
Glad you enjoyed it
More of these karl. Love hearing how the sausage is made in training
You're the best instructor bar none, great video. Thank you, Karl.
Wow, thanks!
"I sleep well at night no matter what i have seen" some do what many can't comprehend, it's that peace in the heart that only comes from God. excellent presentation, i learned much, thanks.

Glad you enjoyed it
What a great video and story telling! Thanks for sharing! I was stationed at Fort Bragg (82nd Airborne). Fun place to be at.
Interesting video… thanks for sharing your experience!
Thanks for watching!
I like how he times when the ads roll in and adds that we be right back sign thing
This is more than four words 🫡👍🏻
Outstanding video. Love the stories. And I would hope this brings more of the young guys into the art.
Been watching your channel for years. This is my favorite video.
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video and info Karl! 🤘
Glad you liked it!
The most important asset a sniper can possess is understanding. The weapon.. distance... wind... conditions and target. Blessings.
That was gold, sir, pure gold. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Benning was fun.
"Ask the sniper what he can see."
"Your momma" would be a dick move. Waiting for the spotter to scratch is head is not - that's a damn good trick!
Great video, here is more than four words. Thanks for the UA-cam tip. Many people will appreciate that.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Excellent video thank you for sharing. Great stories. Appreciate ya.
Glad you like them!
I was a Seabees NMCB5 qualified expert w/ M16. Top shooter w/ score of 198. Bùt a Chief shoot a 199 to win a case of beer.Was bull because he shot @ the range when nobody's there. Wanted to go to sniper school but i wore glasses. Tis life.
Outstanding!!!
Glad you like it!
I agree with most of the comments here. This was a very easy watch, went by fast, and I want to hear more stories!! 😂
This is better than Christmas!
Did you attend the 5th group sniper school after you got to group or did you go straight to SOTIC since you were already sniper qualified from the big army school?
I did not go to the 5th Group sniper school. SOTIC was my 4th course.
More please! This was very informative and entertaining. Thanks!
More to come!
Good job on that standing position Carl.
Just found your channel a month or so ago, watching the John Stryker Meyer interview.
I enjoyed this one, too.
Welcome aboard!
Thanks Karl - really enjoy these types of videos.
Glad you like them!
Was a partly technical video.
If uou stuck through to the end, there us slight hope that you might fancy a career behind the glass.
Like that Carl also touched on the emotional aspect of being a sniper and sending that much pound of pressure over distance to extinguish a life, and that's not a light commitment even as you're not close in-person shooting the actual rifle
I hope the sniper schools also have chaplains teaching spiritual aspects of battles, warfare, and life extinguishing too
Enjoyed the walkthrough and stories.
What an awesome video. Great Job Karl 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🫡
Glad you enjoyed it!
Am I the only one who always thinks of Bill Paxton a God / Floyd Dane, in Navy Seals whenever you hear Sniper? I don't know why, but he was one of the first and most iconic snipers (in movies)

this was such an amazing video!
Before I watch I already know I would not survive sniper school 😂.
Not with that attitude
Great video! I enjoyed the war stories.
Great stories! Thank you for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed you sharing your experiences.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing that story. I think I would be a “support kid”.
Another outstanding video! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Epic Vid! I wish there were more of these vids out!
Awesome and educational video! Thank you, Karl.
Glad you liked it!
Karl, you simply rock!!😎👍👍
Nah, just a normal dude.
This was informative and wise words at the end.
Super interesting, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Karl your amazing thanks
My pleasure!
Awesome sharing, Karl.
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video. Thank you for that.
Glad you liked it!
Passed stalks standing with absolutely zero veg. Stand-off & loophole for the W!
Great insight Carl, ive never seen video of what happens or how the skill gets taught. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
love your videos Karl.
Great stuff!! Keep up the solid content!!!
Thanks! Will do!
Carl I’m not in the Military but your show was very interesting just the same.
Thanks for watching
Nice. Thanks Carl.
You bet

I had a friend fail Sniper school but recycled and passed but anyways during stalks he said the walker stepped over him and with the huge step he had to take the spotter spotted it and he said he was pissed like dude just step on me lol.
