That guy bare handling his rifle with aperture sights just hitting that target at 800m is in another dimension.
@Willy Pete No. You actually need skill, Mental and physical discipline and conditioning, good habits, the ability to regulate your body, breathing, hold, trigger squeeze, cheek weld, sling tension, heartbeat awareness, and Metric Tonne of practice to be that good. After that there's reloading ( which is a science and art onto itself, and an entirely separate subject), rifle maintenance, and a lot more. And then there's Wind-reading, which is part skill and part sorcery, and sometimes sheer luck. It's not just picking up a 5K rifle and winging it.
Call of Duty this is Not. I highly doubt with that exact rifle, and all of his accessories you'd even be on paper after 2 sighters and 10 for score. Even the fellow they showed shooting F-Class for score, had to calm his heart between shots... you can see his pulse moving the scope reticle around. And he's using a rest. Not freehand, with open sights, trying to centre 3 circles within each other. Most people have never seen what 800M looks like when holding a rifle. 200M looks far when you've never tried it.
There's a reason it's called a Shooting Discipline. Fullbore is also a Medal sport in the Commonwealth Games.
@Willy Pete My Bronze medal at the world F-class Championships says so.
@@scottcrawford3745 well said Scott I used to shoot fullbore and sometimes F -troop- class, good mental gymnastics.
@@scottcrawford3745 Very well stated sir, shooting off your elbows at 900 meters takes a lot of practice as well as endurance.
@Willy Pete yes he is absolutely correct
Hitting a 700 to 800 without telescope is in another level.
Even with a good scope, this can be difficult as the wind at our range is very twitchy, it bounces back and forth and is almost never a constant value in one direction. We have a lot of great shooters and they do not hit a perfect score that often.
As a target rifle shooter myself who has done around 3 years of shooting with experience at 900m to hit the target is quite easy, impressive shooting consists of consistent shooting within the bulleye 5 ring not hitting the target
0:38 "my gun blew up on Friday"... welcome to full bore rifle shooting LOL

Very well done thanks Jolene for a great video.Gunter Beer
A great quality video about our sport. Thank you for making this.
Great video, well done!
Thank you Jack
I love this …especially with aperture sights. 👍
looks like a lot of fun
It is a lot of fun. Every day we go out, the conditions are different, but the comradery is always the same.
How beautiful day😊
Thank you
Very informative
Please make more videos
We appreciate your enjoyment, we will take this into consideration.
Looks like a fun place to shoot!
Very much so, if you ever get the chance it is worth a visit.
Nice shooting 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Here in Australia most fullbore clubs would sell their soul to the devil for that number of shooters on the mound at any one time.
We are very lucky to have the facility and the membership that we do, it also helps that we have a great team organizing it all.
Yeah, I bet Aussies would! I wanted to be a part of our local Fullbore club. Unfortunately iťs not very easy to get in. Even tho I was between the first ones coming to the matches, first to raise a hand to volunteer to help setup targets, hang the flags, clean up… while old timers sipoed on their coffees in the parking lot 😄 Even offered a help mowing grass. Silly guy, anyway, I was denied as I shot only 3 matches instead of 4 within the calendar year. I guess the one I participated as a spotter did not count. Too bad.
Very cool
Amazing
Well done🙂
Nice gun👍👍
I love the smell!
Man, it would be hella fun to shoot full 14.5 shells or .50s here
.338 Lapua Is the maximum allowable cartridge on most range templates here. .50 cal and above also recently became prohibited calibres in Canada ( for civilians).
As Scott mentioned, .50 cal is no longer legal in Canada, with that said, we are only templated for a maximum of .338 Lapua as there are properties that fall within the .50 template zone.
hellow i am subcriber from indonesian.👌
Welcome
Ohh I like the camera idea, with your WiFi computer.....no driving or the like down yonder just to see you didnt even make it on the paper... Cool....
Im a little curious as to why they call it full bore rifle shooting...... Were they ony shooting sabboted projectiles at one point?....
Even paper patch is still considered full bore, Although I guess it could be tecnically not...
Many ranges, especially the ones on the Military Bases here, we have an underground butte system where volunteers/ paid markers, or just other shooters in the squads, go down to the backstop and pull the targets for marking. The targets slide up and down on counterbalanced rail carriages.
Fullbore refers to cartridges above the size of the .22 rimfire.
Dating way back, the Common Wealth Games had two classifications of matches, Smallbore which was 22lr match rifles and Fullbore, which was everything else.
nice
Ou se trouve ce stand de tir ???
Trop beau...👍
This is the Alberta Fullbore Rifle Association's range, located on the edge of Kananaskis, Alberta.
I really want to do this
These dimensions snipers have very high recoil and it's very tough to hit on the bulls eye.i have shot with the SKS which is lower to these snipers which was very hard for me to hit the target in 600 meters .
Competitors are using many different calibers, some of which are low recoil including the .223 which has less recoil than an SKS.
@@albertafullborerifleassoci1339 I really appreciate you and your skill. Respect
👍💡🎶☀️🎵
Isn’t target distance measured from the shooter to the target rather than the far end of the range backwards? Or is this sincerely something i’ve been getting wrong all my life? Asking for a friend.
They're just flying the drone from close to far to illustrate the steps of how far back you really get. True distance range is still from shooter to paper. At the matches you shoot the closest distances to the target first, then walk back. That's because After lugging all that kit over all that distance, and setting-up/ tearing-down all those times, in rain or in heat, you want to be as close to your car/ the clubhouse as possible, because you'll be tired. ( lol. Not the true real reason, but the one most of us admit is accurate.)
@@scottcrawford3745 True that, In Australia we used to back our cars up to the mound and have snacks and drinks handy.
@IKOO, you are correct on how target distance is typically measured, but it can also be measured in reverse. In the case of this video, we are showing the range and the known distance shooting positions(berms), that we utilize in our competitions. The targets are at a fixed position and do not move, so in order to change our distance to the targets, we move to a different position.
@Scott Crawford, the primary reason for moving from say 300 meters to 600 to 800 and so on, at least at our range, is that you can safely move further from the shooting line to start setting up gear and expedite the flow of the competition. To go the other direction, you would have to wait for the shooters to finish, an all clear/safe/cold to be called and then move up, which would end up adding a fair bit of time to your day.
@@albertafullborerifleassoci1339 Yes. We always shot close first (300 yards) and then moved back over the course of the day, usually finishing at 800, or occasionally back to 1000 if time allowed.
Can anyone tell me what that orange square thing is near the shooter at the beginning of the video? I see long range shooters using this device but I dont hear anyone talk about it.
It's a Lab Radar chronograph.
@@joshmarkowitz1595 Thanks!!!
Wonder were this is?

Why is it called full bore?
same question here
@@nippon19 Dating way back, the Common Wealth Games had two classifications of competitons, Smallbore which was 22lr match rifles and Fullbore, which was everything else.
Seems to me Ike the targets should be where the cars are so you can shot all ranges at the same time.
A major reason for the way this is setup, and the reason that we move from one location to another to shoot different distances is, safety. There is a very large berm behind those targets to catch the shots after they hit paper, that berm is big enough that shooting past a closer one would be difficult, so we move the competitors instead.
1000 yards
Why is 800m a parking lot?
There is parking areas at every distance, we move as a group to each firing point. Considering we all have rifles, mats, tablets, note books ammunition and other gear, it’s too much to walk from point to point.
As the other commenter stated, there are parking areas at each distance. 800 meters is where the clubhouse is located, its where we do the morning safety meetings, its where we gather back for awards, so its a convenient space that serves us well.
how can you encounter on coming wind and the wind behind u
At this range, due to the terrain and the distance to the target, we shoot through multiple wind patterns, there is often times also a bit of a swirl depending on which firing point you are at.
Headwind/ tailwind will affect your bullet impact vertically. Not so much up close (~300m or so) but at longer ranges you can get vertical stringing. Most times you can wait for the wind to be steady and shoot through it. Other times, when time is running short, you can favor high or low depending on what wind you read.
wow jauh 3000 yards
we are only out to 900 meters (990 yards)
Yawn.
I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters.
Nice Star Wars reference
