I had the great pleasure of meeting Mr Tubb in 2018 at the King of 2 miles prior to the FCSA 50 cal World Titles in Raton, NM. He is an absolute gentleman who was happy to spend time talking to us dumb Aussie's. The range we shot on was the " George Tubb " 1000 yard range named in honour of his Father.
@@BelieveTheTarget yes it is. But I saw him hit the spotter something like 15 times and hit the spindle also at 600 yards at Camp Perry. That man ain’t normal.
@@josephjulian2503there is a difference between shooting a HP target and then a 2 inch square. With the HP target you have a huge black circle you can use as a reference. The black goes all the way out the 7 ring and that’s 36” across for 600 yards. You can’t see a 2 inch square at 500 with irons so you have nothing to reference off of.
I have read and watched all that i could about Mr. Tubbs. Total genius on shooting and products dealing with it, thank you Eric, greatly appreciate this.
I’ve been waiting on this one. It was worth it too. Pretty sure I still have my VHS of his One Mile Shot video. Would have loved to see prime Tubb vs the KYL.
The priorities are different in sling shooting. Load accuracy is important but means nothing if you can't hold the gun steady. Shooters at Mr. Tubb's level holds steadily enough to worry about maximizing load accuracy. But most shooters out there cannot. For them, it's much more important to work on the position than to develop loads to the nth degree. Time spent on refining the load is time NOT spent on refining and practicing the fundamentals. The most extreme example of sling shooters not worrying about loads is Swiss 300-meter shooting, in which you are REQUIRED to shoot military-issued ammunition such as GP11. GP11 is as good as military ammo gets but it's nowhere near handloads, not to mention the fact that it's .30 caliber and packs a wallop. Yet, with this ammo, top-level Swiss shooters are able to regularly clean the 300m target, which has a 1.2-minute 10-ring and not much easier than the F-class target. This shows you just how much fundamentals matter in sling shooting.
3:00 Finally, a silhouette shooter. It's not popular nowadays, but this shooting discipline really deserves some more attention. Nothing more badass then somebody hitting game size targets at 300 - 600 yards off hand.
I've always thought a PRS match should have at least two stages shooting standing off hand with target skill level equal to bigbore silhouette. Then the rifles, and especially the scopes, would look like practical rifles and not like "field benchrest". There is a funny video from Canada where 22lr PRS shooters are required to shoot 77m and 100m smallbore silhouette included in the PRS match 🤣
Traditional target to modern precision disciplines. Up there with Accuracy International legend, Malcolm Cooper. What a stellar conversation. More please Erik and David 😎🔥
Awesome, as always, tons of knowledge and experience to learn from. I have two 6xc rifles, had another one on its second barrel before this two and I've shot a few thousand dtacs. Thanks both of you fpr your time and for sharing your knowledge. BTW...Erick, I emailed you a while back, I'm planning a trip to TX to hunt hogs and I'd like to come and shoot the blackjack challenge. Mr. Tubb, I'll shoot one of my 6xc rifles if you talk Erick into replying to my email, I haven't seen a 6xc on the line yet, I'll try to not make it look bad 🙂😄
I've followed David for awhile because I used to be interested in highpower. He seems to be smart, or should I say very smart, and there is no question of his skill and ability. He also has a tremendous amount of experience. He experiments and he uses what works not what someone tells him works or what people choose based on guesswork or voodoo. Highpower requires a high degree of precision. Depending on a person's skill level, standing and prone might not require so much precision but the prone positions do so you need an accurate rifle and good ammunition. There are plenty of people who can lay on their stomach with a sling and open sights, no bipod, and shoot in the 1 MOA range. With iron sights or low magnification scope as allowed in the rules, you don't detect any movement.
Hello Eric - would it be possible to ask Dave a few follow-up questions about .37/.41 XC usage in ELR? Perhaps as a shorter-format, just for questions from viewers?
He probably doesn't have the eyesight that he had 25 years ago, but David Tubb would be pretty high on the list of guys that could possibly take your money on the open sight blackjack challenge.
Hey Señor Cortina, I dont know if the answer to this question is privi to your members, but have you ever tested aiming at a dot vs a sharp edge? I understand shooting in the .01's is already a major feat but in my mind aiming at a dot leaves allot of reticle float "error" I dont have the equipment nor skill to verify this for myself, anyway thanks for all of your time and sharing of knowledge through you and everyone
love the video!!!!!! but a 65,000 psi chamber is around 30,000 psi at 6-7'' past the barrels chamber and around 5,000-4500psi at a 24'' muzzle and a 12 gauge with 11,700psi at the chamber is around 2,000 psi at a 28'' muzzle , there is no 65,000PSI at ANY MUZZLE FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
David has been a long time user of a Prometheus. He is where I first learned of that instrument. Don’t know if that is still the case but it wouldn’t surprise me.
I have a rifle I like David to shoot it was a major grouper out the box with a 3-9 tasco scope 40 at walmart! & resided 6.5 x55 sweed old used & live ammo from a gun smiths stock of stuff he sold the guy lost his sight!

I grew up in the 80s reading about David Tubb in my grandpa's American Rifleman magazines. He's been a legend to me ever since.
When David was in his prime, your $5,000 iron sight challenge would be in serious jeopardy.
Doubt it. Hard to see impacts at 500 with naked eye.
@@BelieveTheTarget yes it is. But I saw him hit the spotter something like 15 times and hit the spindle also at 600 yards at Camp Perry. That man ain’t normal.
Optimus prime ? 😂
Yes, he was a dangerous high power shooter. If Tubb was shooting you’d better have brought your A game.

David Tubb is a legend and a wealth of knowledge. Glad he has been a great friend and have had many conversations to help me in my shooting career 💪
Nothing but respect for Mr. Tubb. I'd like to thank you two for taking the time to have an informative conversation.
Much appreciated
I have read and watched all that i could about Mr. Tubbs. Total genius on shooting and products dealing with it, thank you Eric, greatly appreciate this.
This is the interview I’ve been waiting for since the series started. Thank you!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Erik, thank you for this channel. The decades of knowledge and experience recorded on it are invaluable.
My pleasure!
I’ve been waiting on this one. It was worth it too.
Pretty sure I still have my VHS of his One Mile Shot video.
Would have loved to see prime Tubb vs the KYL.
I think I still have that vhs too!
Taught myself how to shoot long range off his tapes and now on his team and development group. David is the best rifleman to live in my opinion
David's 115 DTAC belongs in the hall of fame.
Great interview! The NextGen tuner brake got my 7mm Rem Mag dialed in.
I have the original Sierra Reloading VHS with David Tubb. He taught me how to load ammo!! He's the Man!!!
Thanks David for the 6xc. Covers 90% of what I need!
Another fantastic episode, thank you! And yes, you need to bring him back 👍👍
That's the plan!

Final finish bullets worked wonders for a rough barrel 257 rob i have. Copper fouled something fierce but now it shoots clean and tightened up

David, it was great to see and listen to you again. All the best
IMO David Tubb is legendary. Just like Erik will be one day.
An industry icon interviewed by an industry titan, what more can anyone ask for?

Our pleasure!
Great video & guest! I could listen to hours of this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm hoping there's a part 2 to this one. I'd love to hear more about the 33XC as I'm about to build one soon if all goes well.
Second GPG on that Tubb is a treasure and a legend just like Mid Tomkins and so many others.
Very informative . Was hopeing for reloading information. Watched one of his 5 yrs ago but interviewer did interuptions. Erric made good video
Been Waiting for this for a while
It would be interesting if youtube was there when David was younger.
OMG.... the David Tubb interview finally dropped!
Thx Dave. I 5 barrels in 6xc. Great interview.
Great interview! Great information from both.
Glad you enjoyed it!
David Tubb is the source of the river.
Thank you Erik!
Great interview!
His book on the M-14/M1A is a must read.
Get David on the challenge. That would be amazing.
Hello Eric - would it be possible to ask Dave a few follow-up questions about .37/.41 XC usage in ELR? Perhaps as a shorter-format, just for questions from viewers?

You bet!
6XC one of my best calibers
Hell ya fence post bench rest...lol
He probably doesn't have the eyesight that he had 25 years ago, but David Tubb would be pretty high on the list of guys that could possibly take your money on the open sight blackjack challenge.
lol, I doubt it. Being able to see impacts at 500 yards would require super human eye sight.

Mi amigo didn't ask David about the CLR for cleaning barrels I noticed.
If you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying.
if you get caught cheating, you ain’t trying hard enough.
Who are you accusing of "Cheating"?????
i currently shoot high power. ive done everything i can to make the rifle as accurate as possible that way if i miss its my fault.
Big Tex! Finally!!
Not sure if its true or not but when I was a kid.... I read that David supposedly shot a 1/4 inch dot at a 100 yards...with peeps...
🤯 the info your these guys 🤯
Were those 77's loaded to the same COAL though?
Are the tuners of today the same as the Browning boss systems? If so why did Browing have such a hard time getting it to go?
They are different.
love the video!!!!!! but a 65,000 psi chamber is around 30,000 psi at 6-7'' past the barrels chamber and around 5,000-4500psi at a 24'' muzzle and a 12 gauge with 11,700psi at the chamber is around 2,000 psi at a 28'' muzzle , there is no 65,000PSI at ANY MUZZLE FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TUBB is class act ...well except for the remote motorized range cart ....lol ....jealous I didn’t make that mistake
I wanted to hear what he was loading to the kernel with 😂
David has been a long time user of a Prometheus. He is where I first learned of that instrument. Don’t know if that is still the case but it wouldn’t surprise me.
25 XC?
Iv heard that this guy can shoot. Heard he would probably take that 5000$ Eric's got up for grabs.
#wrong ammo 😂
Eric…. Podbean!!!
Nope. Lol

G.David Tubb has FORGOTTEN more about shooting a rifle accurately than any F Class shooter will ever know..
What a ridiculous statement. I'll never understand why a man will fawn over another man like this.
He does not know as much as you would think…
