- Going beyond point-and-shoot distances? You better know what you're doing. But before arithmetic and calculations come into the equation, what can you do to set yourself up for success? Josh teams up with Adrian Leatherman, a former US Army Sniper who now runs Sidewinder Concepts, to work on some long-range basics. Why is this important for civilians to know? Much of the fundamentals of shooting long-range are transferable to short-range and it never hurts to have this skill set in your back pocket for... potentially hard times ahead.

Adrian is a PHENOMENAL spotter and coach
Amen!
Very happy to see more people getting into long range instead of CQB. A lot more open spaces.
Depends on where you live, true, but it's a much more complex skill. Unlike the Xbox experience of shooting targets from 20 feet.
Yeah majority of people live in Urban areas I know here in Georgia we don’t have a range that’s past 300yds
Depends on where you are and what you are doing.
@@dreSwift1 River Bend has a 500 range and a 600 yard NRA high power range. The kind with the pit you can sit in and hoist targets when its your turn. Best you will find outside the military bases.
Becaus less of footwork😂
The -150 and -200 for faster rounds as a get in ball park down range, is a awesome tip.
can you explain this to me
I really do appreciate the way the precision shooting concepts were explained. That made some of this a lot easier to understand.
Glad it was helpful!
Drew jumping every shot on the intro made me chuckle. We've all had that "spotter" before. Lol
Haha, it's the little details like that...
I've always thought there were three ranges of engagement.
1. CQB or pistol round range i.e. 0-50m. CQB is range that might quickly turn into H2H.
2. Carbine range 50-300m. Running and gunning with potential for BOTH shooting on feet, knees, squatting, barriers.
3. Rifle range or prone with scope and bipod, etc. A range that requires more aim and less running.....until the enemy gets close enough and you had better run fast and shoot straight.
Good breakdown.
A precision rifle is definitely capable of various positional shooting too. It takes practice for sure.
Best way to learn how long distance work that I’ve experienced is signing up for WPS and going through Cleckner’s long range courses. First time I shot past 200yds was at 1300 and I had a first round impact just because I learned from that online course. It was eye opening and empowering
I am currently going through the WPSN long range course as well. Very well done.
Agreed that volume 1 and volume 2 WPSN course on Long Range shooting made things way less intimidating to learn and was a wealth of knowledge/
what's WPS?

You guys are doing great stuff. I really think this is what the industry needs. Humble, funny, and relevant. Great job, boys.
Thanks man!
Longe range shooting is very satisfying, but the data collection process is tedious. You have to be thorough and consistent. You cant expect your "DOPE" from one range trip to be enough to go off of. The environmental conditions change day to day and therefore you POI will change to. Learning it all is a hell of a rabbit hole and if you dont take the time to learn the effects of the environmentals you will be chasing your tail at further distances.
Edit: you dont need a Chronograph or a kestrel. Yes it will help a ton but if you dont understand why the ballistic computer says to dial 5.9 mils then what are you going to do when your batteries die?
Shooting at distance isn't complicated. It does require mastery of marksmanship fundamentals and DOPE.
Most often, finding a location to collect that DOPE is the major limitation. Go find a Highpower club near you and make friends.
“I dont know exactly what this means but I heard Garand Thumb talking about overmatch”
“He’s just a SERE guy”
Many such cases!
Haha. We love those guys.
Magnificent coaching shown here in this video. Of course in long range high power rifle competition the shooter is not expecting anything from the spotter/score keeper. But for sure if the spotter can discern first round impact then the shooter has a call/strike corollary which is paramount to shooter/target analysis and such analysis will allow for better results for work in progress. In other words, the score keeper can help the shooter get on target in conditions that are not at first understood by the shooter.
Thanks!
I used to have a TERRIBLE lisp. A speech therapist I knew noticed and asked if I wanted to address it during a car ride to lunch. They told me when an S is coming up, grit your teeth. You can't lisp with closed teeth. After a week I didn't have to think about it, it just happened. Has never come back since. 🎉❤
Stellar content! Thanks Adrian for the insights!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I came here for the intro and stuck around for the knowledge. Neither was a disappointment.
Awesome. Glad it was engaging and helpful!
This was awesome. Thanks for putting this together guys.
Love seeing the long range content!
Adrian is awesome. Took a class with him in WA and I got hooked on the long range game.
Adrian is a solid dude. Great video.
Couldn't agree more!
excellent instruction and insight
I really wanna try this place out. I’ve never shot past 1200 yards. I’ve stopped by there once and it looks awesome. Even had the pleasure of speaking to the operator. Seems like a great place!
Some of the most logical and easy to understand instruction that work!
Some very good solid advice. No situation is perfect. no situation will be engaged at the same Distance
SIDEWINDER!! Badass dude
good stuff guys. I love that range! really good people down there.
Thanks man!
Less then 3 min in..... That intro is GREAT!!!
Wow! Just learned so much!
Glad it was helpful!
sidwinder concepts is the real deal!
Really enjoyed this vid!!!
Good stuff. Thanks
Wow dude i learn alottttt from this vid. This guy is good. He not just said whats wrong he showed us y!
You can sure see that pic rail flex and wobble and the built in pic rail helps for sure, but something like a Sgt of Arms handguard with a built in Arca rail allowing for easy bipod adjustment is the way to go.
Another fantastic info drop
Appreciate it!
That intro was great as always!
Glad you liked it!
Great content
It was cool how quickly you started hitting the target.
Thanks!
This is awesome! Adrian hope you are doing well!
This is beautiful because civilians created marksmanship and now it’s returning to civilians in an advanced form. Tar heels
It would be nice to see what the scope pov is and why does he have a blackhawk holster 💀
great video!!!.. that is what happens in the range when you take a friend who says he know what's he is doing... fun times, money spent
Damn…. That grip info was priceless!!! I’ll be switching to that for sure!!!
I’ll be upgrading my SPR’s rail eventually. Was thinking the Geissele MK16 but now I see the benefit of the MK4. I have a MK16 on an 11.5” AR. Geissele makes amazing rails, triggers and charging handles. Unable to comment on their other products but they are prob all solid.
Hilarious intro
;)
I love the hat. Love the content too. Appreciate it boys
Although modern sniper rifles with interchangeable barrels, bolt heads and magazines have "M-Lock" forearms the BARRETT MRAD has the upper, forearm and Pic rail as a MONOLITHIC solid piece. That is a great advantage in eliminating tolerance stacking of many pieces that need to be very tightly attached to each other - but may not be in actual practice.
There are a lot of gold nuggets in this video. I would just add, record the adjustments you make that end up getting your hits. Record those for each distance and youll be able to make a DOPE card. DOPE meaning data on previous engagements
Love the spotting scope😂
Dang this is great.
Long range shooting is relative to the caliber you are shooting
The best caliber to learn long range is actually .22
You can learn all the fundamentals of long range shooting with .22 and for 1/100th of the price
FITFO is a good saying
Awesome channel! thanks!
Any good long range ranges near DFW, TX?
Do u mind if I ask what camera you guys were using to
Shoot this content ? Awesome
Clarity
The first thing to do is get your elevation right then work of your windage & rotation calculated,as a former airborne solder & sniper fiddling with a dope card allowed the enemy to get his sights on you
The beginning reminded me of that Lunker's video a few years ago!😂😂😂
Bro I wish we were friends cuz the intro on this was fuckin classic 😂 love what you guys do keep up the good info
Absolutely love it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hilarious opening
Thanks for the vid gents. Can we do a 3 month shtf stockpile on a budget vid? Idk why but I got a bad feeling 2024 is gunna be rough for us as a nation
Same
Pallet of rice and super green supplements (Chlorophyll and or Spirulina.) and a book or two on cooking long pig. Sorted.
Would like to see what details are on the wrist band range card! What's the silhouette used for?
Is the shifting of the bipod, via Picatinny mlok adapter, worth it enough to change from one hand guard to another? Seemingly, I can only find the Geissele Mk4 that he mentioned with the 1 section of picatinny.
Interesting, how the blister on his hand was enormous in the first run and then so much smaller, when they started the training. :D
Best concept to visualize. Don't think about distance think about time variables have to effect the bullet. A 3 or 400 yard shot there really isn't that much time variables have an effect. If you factor in magnification that's at least 1x per 100 yards 400 yards and a 1-2 moa rifle 400 yard hits are nothing.
good
This is like my long range hunting buddies in the beginning.
Hilarious. 25 mils! Love it
How would the minus 150 yards apply to an MOA reticle?
Bros glock thumb is BAAAAD
Is there a milliradians reticle inside the spotter's binoculars? If so, what model binos are those, and if not, how is he estimating corrections based on impacts?
Cool
wind calls LOL....With the miic sticking up in the wind LMAO
So, he mentioned the general "rule" of take your distance and subtract 150.... Is the resulting number intended to be used in moa or mil? Or am I misunderstanding?
POV: Dennis Reynolds Spotting Dee.
Dennis: Gutterball! 😂
If you know what I'm talking about I love you.
I am surprised that NPOA (natural point of aim) was never discussed...as it is THE most important element of marksmanship...nuff said!
huh?
Helpful tip. With a new gun/ammo for getting dope try weaponized math/ gravity ballistics. Look it up it works.
Good stuff
This might be the first time I get to disagree with you about something lol. I'm a pretty big fan of the AEMS. I agree on the price, and would suggest to be patient and wait out for a solid deal like I did. The tint isn't any worse than an Aimpoint PRO to me, and the claims of it being nice with NV I can confirm, being a big factor for me personally. That's pretty high praise being that I'm comparing its performance to other optics I have that's popular with NV such as the Eotech EXPS3, Aimpoint Comp M4s & T2 and even a Vortex Huey. Thanks for the heads up on the mount. The mount itself seems robust, but that detent attachment point I did wonder if it risked slipping with a hard enough impact. For that reason, I gobbed loctite on the threads to double up on securing it. The AEMS is on a 6" 300blk build, and it gets banged around a lot through transport. It travels with me daily for work. But it hasn't been dropped straight on the optic yet, such as in your testing. Zero has stayed on mine with "practical" mistreatment. As always, love your unbiased content. Even if it doesn't always match with mine. This time, being the first 😎
Hey man, to each his own! If you find something you love and can perform well with, stick with it!
@dirty-civilian bro I don't even know why or how this comment showed up on your video lmao! It was meant for Focus Tripp on his AEMS review lol.
@@theirishman6728THIS IS FUNNY. BECAUSE READING YOUR COMMENT I KNEW THAT IT WAS ON WRONG VIDEO AND FOR FOCUS TRIPP. THEN I SAE YOUR REPLY BACK AND IT WAS CONFIRMED. THIS IS GREAT BECAUSE I JUST WATCHED FOCUS TRIPPS VIDEO AND THIS ONE.
"He is just a SERE guy" 💀
kudos to him for the Serpa and going hammer fired
I love these intros lol
what scope is it? Mk5 2-10?
That entire intro is me and my buddies trying to hit a target at 100yds with a random hand-me-down bolt action he got from some random dude at a cattle show.
Does the 150 and 200 yards apply to moa scopes also?
No, 1.5 mils is not even close to approximating 1.5 MOA.
Twisted Barrel is an insanely expensive range to be a member of.
He said “try bracketing it like artillery”
Love to see people rocking New Hampshire made guns.. Q is coming out with some crazy stuff.
Yep. We're fans.
The intro reminds me of when the Reaper and Lunkers tried to shoot long range and Lunkers was his spotter. It was embarrassing.
He is such a turd
#groups
👊🤠
What tripod head is Adrian glassing off of?
Two vets tripods: recon with leofoto leveling head.
cqb is anywhere to close for comfort ... so if they shootin at me thats any where from 1 to 2 miles
What info does he have on his arm
How can I trust a guy with a Serpa holster?
What would Kevin Owens do. WWKO.
Does anybody know what brand that AR-15 is?
That's a Zev Combat.
"I'm out of the Houston area".
Me: Get's excited.
Not gonna lie I was thinking the same thing
So I already own some nice gear…
…Where do I buy an experienced spotter like this? Seems like having this dude on glass behind you would be the best investment you can make to get easy hits. 😂
Like a beaten zone? Keep applying machine gun theory to this and I might just be able to get it.
The Earth is not moving!
Did you shoot the drone? The second half the drone is MIA😂
Is that… a Blackhawk holster….
