The Shooting Show - deer stalking masterclass with Jason Doyle

www.theshooting...
Irish sika stalking expert Jason Doyle brings you the lowdown on the concept of maximum point-blank range. Not sure? How about this: Never having to alter the point of aim on deer anywhere from 130 to 250 yards. It could make your stalking life a lot easier - so follow Jason's tips to find out how to do it, and then follow him as he takes his newly zeroed set-up out into the field...
Then, we bring you the Shooting Show news, with the latest reports on who might take over the CLA Game Fair, the number of gamebirds we release every year, and new statistics on shotgun and firearm certificate holders.

One comment, the 136 distance is from the muzzle out to 136 yards, indicating the point at which the bullet reaches its maximum height. Not from 3" high point out to 256 yards.
Otherwise well done and extra points for the ingenuity of using a dirty truck side as a chalkboard!

Hi guys! What kind of silencer you use? Thanks for answer

[@Lukelougheed]

Great video jason, what maximum point blank range apps do you use? Can’t find one suitable

[@fgytshooting8335]

all assuming your grouping size at 250yrds is 0.1" if you group 4" at 100yrds then so 5" at 134yrds and 10" at 250yrds so your shot could be 2.5" higher and 5" lower than the 3" you need to think of your trajectory as a cone shape not a single line

[@Theotheactor3000]

I drew on my truck to demonstrate what I was talking about to the farmer. No one told me he wasn't using a sharpie, damn it

[@jamesdoyle9909]

The 6.5x55 probably wasn't the best caliber for demonstrating this process, a flatter shooting caliber would have had a greater maximum point blank range. Nice clear explanation tho, well done!

[@stevegarnett]

Fail to see where the "masterclass" comes in. A ballistic app. at that mid 200 yd range is a bit over the top. Any high powered rifle zeroed in 2" high at a 100 will give you those results...mind you I realise it is hard finding material to run a weekly magazine like this and we can't always expect it to be brilliant all the time. It is just I feel that the titles of some programmes needs a bit of tweaking.

[@astondriver]

Thats why I sight my 270win at 200m.

[@matthewpalmer3156]

I know this show is mainly about hunting, but considering handguns are still legal in Northern Ireland why don't they ever show us some?

[@olegadermann6971]

it looks like you are shooting on an incline. The incline will make the shot appear higher than it would be on a straight line. Maybe its just the camera...

[@jamesjames4844]

If you shoot up hill shot is lower ,shoot down its higher

[@Ldotvidz]

And does anyone else think the shots sound very cartoon like ??? Very informative stuff

[@jasondoyle6061]

Yes we thought the same when we watched the footage back. The ballistic tip bullets disintegrated on impact with the plywood target and caused the sound.

[@kylemccullough1686]

, hi Jason, Jason, im from Magherafelt and had 2 great game dealers who took all our pigeons but now they have stopped. On the off chance would you know of anyone who would be interested in buying them, thanks mate.

[@johnstacy7902]

Sweet Jebus! Just zero it 2" high at 100yds and call it good...

[@ethandonald7038]

Most of the calculators will also tell u how much higher at 100m to be to give u the same zero which is easier to do than zeroing at 200m plus

[@richardwalsh2632]

Yes they will 👍 I use strelok+. best and easiest app I've used. does all that without being complicated. I only have a .17hmr but it still works so well with it

[@alexwalsh1763]

Richard Walsh I also you Strelok+ for shooting it's an excellent app. Very informative video and well explained

[@bavariasuhl]

12 mins? its like a half show today ...

[@hoggy1707]

Who's minimum range is over 100 yards?

[@astondriver]

+hoggy1707 bushhunters in NZ will sight in for a 50m zero! its that thick.

[@hoggy1707]

Exactly! No ones minimum will be over 100 yards!

[@Ldotvidz]

Bloody alchemy isn't it ? I'm just a poor little airgunner..... I'll get there

[@Hbue84]

What type of pants is he wearing?

[@Snoggatron]

Deerhunter Almati

[@3skins651]

Is it just me.... or are these getting shorter😁

[@RicoChavez1]

"...O to 250 yards, we can be confident of shooting it." Really? Didn't you mean "135 - 250 yards"?

[@jamesdoyle9909]

+RicoChavez1 from 0 to 256 yards the bullet will be within the 6 inch target.

[@RicoChavez1]

+James Doyle Thanks.
