You are correct. I suppose it’s true if referring to off-axis light that can cause flare or degrade the visual image, but that’s what we don’t want. A sunshade on a riflescope or photographic lens helps eliminate those things, but doesn’t reduce the amount of light coming from the front that forms the image we see. When I use a shade on camera lens, it doesn’t affect the exposure at all, and I usually use them. I don’t do the type of shooting that requires me to be concerned about the extra length that a sunshade adds to a scope, so mine are left in place all the time.
@@johnstewart2011 I leave my sunshades on as well. It's odd to see someone on a channel that does myth-busting for LR saying that. Hopefully someone tells him eventually.
This was a good casting. Professional MDT staff members representing MDT as a company. Knowledgeable info. Something for everyone. MDT also has chassis, bipod, brakes, and more. From beginner to Elite, Something for everyone.
Very informative. Although I was familiar with most, I learned a few new things. I would, however, have called the video “Rifleman and shooter terms and slang” because not everything discussed were what I would consider to be slang. “Hammer,” “water line,” and some others, yes, but not terms like B.C., spin drift, or sunshade.
Must agree with Guy....to a point. Bullet doesn't climb but it does move to right on right hand twist barrels, and left on left twist barrels. But left hand twist barrels are rare and very expensive, why I don't know.
So, it actually can climb, in a sense. A bullet from right twist barrel with a right->left wind can actually "climb" on the wind. Look up "Aerodynamic Jump," pretty neat actually. Really doesn't have a pronounced effect below 10mph, but it does exist.
Spin drift really is what’s called the Magnus effect in physics. It actually does ”lift” up and in the direction of the rifling. However it’s not greater than gravity, but will ”fight it” at the same rate of the sideways drift.
Drives me nuts that guys explain water line as though it is horizontal. It is NOT... ever. The very term is a misnomer... Wind from the right impacts high left... Winds from the left impact low right. If you don't know that you should not be talking in this video. The difference with contaminate your ballistic calculations.
At 4:00 he says a scope shade takes away from the scope's light collecting ability, isn't that not true?

I never thought about the crosswind causing the bullet to dip or ride the wind like that. Thanks for that!
Thanks guys.
You're welcome
I wish I could buy my dope behind the liquor store. It would be a hella lot cheaper!
The more i learn...
The more i know im an idiot.
Thank you my brothers😂
👎🏻👎🏻
I like the good ol "wija-dija"
"Hey man my barrel squibbed like a sumbich, u didn't bring a cleaning rod wijadija?"

No such thing as an AD, they are all NDs.
That Reminds me 🤔 , I need to get a MDT elite Muzzle Break for my 308
Another Great Video guys 💯Thanks for Sharing 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Right on
guys great video - thank You

Thank you for the feedback
Guy describing spin drift says the bullet “constantly climbs to the right”. Very wrong. Physical impossibility for the bullet to climb.

Aerodynamic jump and spin drift both make a bullet "climb".
Spin drift really is what’s called the Magnus effect in physics. It actually does ”lift” up and in the direction of the rifling. However it’s not greater than gravity, but will ”fight it” at the same rate of the sideways drift.
I’m pretty sure the terms climb or lift usually indicate overcoming gravity.

super helpul as always ❤
