I’m not sure how I’m just now finding out about this channel but I’m hooked. Have watched just about every video in one sitting. The knowledge and wisdom is unbelievable. New subscriber.
It's a very very very taboo subject but....... A lot of the theoretical aspects of military techniques within battlespace can be used completely interchangably between real life and video games. This gets a lot of people absolutely apeshit volumes of butt hurt but if everyone actually calms the fuck down and leaves ego on the doorstep, few people would ever imply games and real life are "exactly the same" because they're quite simply not. Take people who clear rooms for a living though and put them in a grounded mil-sim and they'll generally wipe the floor with everyone because a good 80% of the techniques and theoretical comprehension can be applied with shocking amounts of comparable relevency.
Carlos Hathcock is still the best in my world. Idc about numbers. Your videos are the best. Easy to understand and practical, educational. You and your brothers are the real heroes in this world.
It’s very interesting that we use the same tracking/Ambush/combo methods with tank gunners. The only difference is, we use “target forms” instead of mils. Typically our ballistic computer on the Abrams calibrates lead based off tracking speed, range, and ammo selection (among other variables), but we still train for degraded conditions.
Nobody is doing what TR brother's are doing on UA-cam, the amount of knowledge and experience these guys bring to the table in just a few minutes is bar none!! Nice job Mr. Karl and gents! Huge fan from Florida and appreciate y'all! 👏
I’ll be one hundred percent honest, this channel is my favorite damn channel on all of UA-cam! I plan on going special forces and heading to sniper school and these videos give me stuff to work on and think about both in my daily life and on the range
Absolutely love the sniper videos! anyone can get good at shooting up close in good conditions. but it’s seriously an art to shoot accurately across long distances, in crappy weather. And dealing with targets random movements. Thanks Karl!
Great content guys. I learn more here in 10 minuets than I can learn anywhere else in hours. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and expertise. It’s greatly appreciated.
Normal people...how do I shoot a stationary paper target maybe 300 meters away. Karl and his clan...how to snipe moving targets far away LOL. Say what you like....Karl is giving you pearls. There is no way Joe average would know this. Talk about a wealth of knowledge.
GG, Thanks for the kind words. My sniper videos aren't exciting and don't get many views. So, I need help from everyone in sharing and promoting theses videos on other social media. If you are active on places like AR.com or Sniper's Hide, please promote these for me. Thanks again for the support. Strength & Honor, TR.
Lots of us ordinary Joes know about moment holds, but you're right about pearls of wisdom. I just found this channel and am thoroughly impressed; especially by the lack of annoying guitar rock that so many shooting channels feel is a requirement. Just give me the data.
Well which round is well suited for long rand 1000m and above .308, .338 or .50, I think the bigger the round the more it will deflect by wind and gravity?
Thank You Karl, Your a good instructor when you explain the topics in your video it makes complete sense to me. Thank You for all the tools you have given me. Have a great day. BIG RON OVER AND OUT.....

Nice video. I have been shooting Deer all my life killed them standing at 500 yards running at over 100 yards and even head shots running at 100 yards in tall grass. Now I only take head shots even if they are a big buck. Not a rack collector anyway. My point is time with your weapon is key, knowing that my bullet flys at 3000 feet per second is the only thing I need to know. I don’t have time to do all the mathematics and hope the Deer is still there. Anyone that is from the country and is a avid hunter knows how to shoot will be a natural shooter, that’s what won wars and made the best shooters.
wow. nugget , moving the bi pod closer to the mag, gives more adjustment for field of fire. did not think of that . just put a bi pod on my tool, WAS back n forth about placement. thanks Karl ..
very good info and great video. I learned this from an early age hunting, at shorter ranges though. Everything still applies the same, with some great info about application at distance.
Love sniper training videos. Subscribing for sure. My apologies if my questions below are stupid, I am more of an admirer of the art than a trained sniper. A few questions: 1. How do you coordinate your breathing and knowing when to take the shot when leading? Can't hold your breath forever 😁 2. Do snipers apply sandpaper to their trigger fingers to enhance trigger feel? Not sure if this is a movie myth. Will watch most of your videos for some of these insights. Thanks!
I love your direction. It's great for rookies. But can I get a fallow up on 10' widows at 250-500yards. I understand a man has to truly be familiar and know his weapon to accomplish this.
Glad you liked it. We are putting out another "Sniper" video tomorrow (new video every Friday). So, I hope you dig that one too. Thanks for watching., Strength & Honor, TR.
I have a classic, old style, Mil-dot reticle, round dots that blackened. Noticed you have a TMR type reticle. Are there any issues when using the old style Mil-dot for either "trapping" or "ambushing" your moving target? I don't have intermediate lines in between the Mil-dots so you have to hold in mid space. I like newer style generations of Mrad reticles, but, am accustomed to that old school stuff.
You don't need fancy new reticles. A MilDot Reticle is fine, but you have to know the size of the dots. Example: most army MilDots have round dots that are .2 mils in diameter; while the marines used 'football" shaped dots that were .25mils in diameter (long axis). So, long as you know their size, you can use any marked reticle for holding for movers / winds. Thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR.
Very good. Funny is that instinctively i already knew those moves but i didnt knew that they had names :D haha The hint about the bipad was good and i didnt knew. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, best regards from Brazil.
You’re talking Coriolis, and that’s a whole separate subject. That said, unless you are shooting well over 1,000 meters, Coriolis does not come in to play. TR
Closest to firing (non tracer) at a moving target, was when the whole Company was on line firing semi automatic, at a 4' long remote control airplane, flying @ about 20 mph, 100 meters out, & 20 meters up. Each rifleman held their fire, until the plane crossed their assigned sector window. 6 passes later... there was finally a damaging hit. We were damned astonished that it had taken that much time & rounds, to down it. Reckon tracers would have hastened the time & round factor... but hell, they proly only had 1 plane. Thank's for the instructional logics TR. 82nd '74 2218
Watching from Djbouti halfway through deployment. Would like some info on counter sniper tactics for dismounted patrols in urban and vegetated areas. IMT drills don't help us move in and destroy the enemy.
Sorry Brother, but I wont do tactics on the internet. We do tips and techniques, but no tactics. If you want tactics, come take a class with us. You can sign up at tacticalrifleman.com, or we can come train your whole unit. Thank you for your service. I hope Djibouti is better than it was in 2004. Strength & Honor, TR
Brother, I live right up north of Ft Campbell. There's NO reason why we couldn't put something together. Let me know when you're going to be back. Strength & Honor, TR
You can do movers from any position. Military snipers generally prefer to shoot from prone on ground; while LE snipers generally prefer to shoot from tabletops and other supported positions. As for movers at night; we do teach engaging movers in the dark. The physics are still the same. However, the students must have the GEN-III equipment to properly observe and engage in the dark. My last class of Marine snipers got out to 500 meters, doing variable speed movers in the dark. Again, you just have to have the proper equipment and the proper training. TR
Ever have issues with the target stopping when hearing the charges go off? Or is the sequence fast enough that the bullet is already in flight before his body has chance to respond to the noise and or concussion of the charges? Just an interesting scenario to think about..It would almost seem better to have the sniper shot go off first especially if shooting suppressed...maybe have the shot go off on two and charges on three, entry on 4....I haven't had the opportunity to do that in combat though so there is probably something I'm missing...Great video
Bullets, especially in Sniper rifles are Supersonic. They travel faster than the speed of Sound. M24 bullet travels at 790 m/s while speed of sound is 330 m/s. So the sound of the gun shot would reach after the bullet reaches the target. The only sniper rifle I know that is subsonic is VSS which has the bullet travel at the speed of sound, so there is no sonic boom and no sound generated by the bullet itself; but only the explosion in the chamber.
Legend has it that shooter is still taking that break
Ahahhaha😂😂
10 months later hahahaha
The dude doesn’t move at all
I was actually thinking about it has been since year since he is on break
I’m not sure how I’m just now finding out about this channel but I’m hooked. Have watched just about every video in one sitting. The knowledge and wisdom is unbelievable. New subscriber.
Welcome to Tactical Rifleman! Thanks for subbing. We put out a new video every Friday. Strength and Honor, TR
I've learned something from every one of these videos and I'm 57 and a life long gunner and preparedness guy
vdubb2
Give that man a rifle and stri... I mean spotter
Just realized I used a lot of these methods years ago when I played battlefield. Nice.
It's cool to see that people used these techniques in war video games. They take strategy!
It's a very very very taboo subject but....... A lot of the theoretical aspects of military techniques within battlespace can be used completely interchangably between real life and video games.

lmao its just common sense lmao
"What is your profession?"
"I walk with a stick and people shoot at me."
I mean, I know they have the berm protecting them...but it would still take a very scary NCO yelling at me or a lot of money to take that job...
1337fraggzb00N I bet a guy does the same job in China. Just without the stick
Imagine that detail. Hey were tapping you out for a detail at sniper school.
Badass what am I doing
Getting shot at
Lmfao

I appreciate that
Just imagine you are walking normally and then you get killed from like 1 km away
Snipers are deadly in real life too
God bless our Snipers
You're dead, how do you imagine?
@@MindBodySoulOk lol
I often wonder why these "hood" conflicts aren't just solved with a rifle from distance.
@@fuzzbuzz6581 because it takes training to use a sniper effectively, and these hoodlums dont have them

Our tax dollars coming back to us one video at a time....Love it!
Thanks for tutorial..now I can shoot moving targets very easily with my Sniper !!!
Yet another great video, the sniper oriented videos are definitely the strongest part of the channel , keep it up
Great content guys. I learn more here in 10 minuets than I can learn anywhere else in hours. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and expertise. It’s greatly appreciated.
So glad to find a youtube channel that talks from experiance and adds solid fact. Keep up the great work. New follower for sure👊
Thanks for watching, TR
Love the sniping videos, I'm starting to get into long range shooting so every little instructional video helps
minutemen will need precision shooters.
Train hard, good luck.
Great info, I’m new to long range shooting but I’m loving it so much these day’s! Absorbing so much great info on this channel!
The overhead snap and feel of a small whack on the board felt good. When they hit the board....it was definitely felt well. Miss those days :)
Amen
Watching this to improve PUBG skills 😎
He’s not walking slow because he’s lazy, he’s just a specialist trying to get out of duty. Great info as always.
WickedSensation u can tell by the blank papers he carries with purpose lol
In the Navy they call that "gun decking." Doin' the slow-roll on patrol.
WickedSensation "So what do you do in the army?"
"I carry targets for sniper cadets to hit."
Hands down the best tactical channel on UA-cam.
Thanks. We are trying to provide good content. Strength & Honor, TR
Outstanding! Brings back memories from SOTIC.
Sent a guy twice to S. School as a schools NCO and he failed on movers. Great dude, was sad.

I laugh so much when people say their ar is only good for 100m. Then you start hitting out past 300 with irons. They think it’s vudo or something.
Graeme Guerrilla Indeed. I know a lot more than the average joe, but I still find a seemingly endless well of knowledge on this channel
Not many long distance ranges available for civilian use without good connections. In Florida at least.
Brings back many memories of Shooting Skills taught here in NZ
Talk about info your never going to typically here much less on UA-cam. Wow impressive presentation
Hunter use a lot of these methods also mostly tracking and combo methods. Thanks for the info on the bipod I will remember it
Thanks for watching, TR
Some freaking awesome tips in this gem. Thank you for the knowledge bombs
Great information you're putting out
Excellent video. Full of helpful information.
Thanks for watching, TR
As always Karl a pleasure to watch.
These videos are just incredible. Thank you for your clear, patient explanations.
"Here's a tip a learned on the 'job'..." and I thought my OTJ training was strenuous!
BRM is everything.. great video, thanks for the tips. Basic teaches a lot but the fine details. Practice Practice Practice.
Thank you for the conformation, I thought that was how it was done but never had an expert say so.
you guy are the best and i find ur videos really helpful and i can't stretch that enough
Best channel on youtube.
The bipod tip is gold.
Well which round is well suited for long rand 1000m and above .308, .338 or .50, I think the bigger the round the more it will deflect by wind and gravity?
That will be useful in WW3. Thx UA-cam for recommending this
Assuming ww3 is fought with conventional warfare
@@crazybrickstudios7482 I will use it on my teammates so is this alright?
I can neither confirm nor deny 👌
You guys are a wealth of essential knowledge.
awesome channel, a lot of unique info from first hands, thank you guys
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your channel is a wealth of knowledge.
Thanks for the extremely high level of teaching! Way over my head but interesting
Thanks for watching , TR
No pun intended?
Reality vs school so true. Great video as always
Very informative video again... tnx very much, I learned a lot. Two thumbs up
Love the talent and knowledge in these videos.
"sig w calculated ballistics" ? (at apx 3:24) where can i get info about this?
Great video dead on on how to shoot great instruction video glad your working hard
Awesome stuff good call on bipod placement and spotter location.
Good information should help with my sniping on call of duty
Great video and very useful info.
great set up!!👍🏻
Thanks
Excellent video thank you.💥💥💯

Wind speed at shorter distance is normally not a factor. At 500 yds+ even the slightest wind can alter trajectory.
Great video
Awesome information! Please do more information on snipers.
25,407k subscribers in the last 30 days that's really good!
Keep the videos coming my dudes!
The image I got when Karl explained, "shooting behind the mover to compensate for wind", was like bullet-time in The Matrix movie.

Yeah, I’m long winded. Keith is a patient guy.
what about shooting east to west and what about north and south equator ???
You’re talking Coriolis, and that’s a whole separate subject. That said, unless you are shooting well over 1,000 meters, Coriolis does not come in to play. TR

do you do mover drills from a tripod or a supported position or mover drill at night ?
You can do movers from any position. Military snipers generally prefer to shoot from prone on ground; while LE snipers generally prefer to shoot from tabletops and other supported positions. As for movers at night; we do teach engaging movers in the dark. The physics are still the same. However, the students must have the GEN-III equipment to properly observe and engage in the dark. My last class of Marine snipers got out to 500 meters, doing variable speed movers in the dark. Again, you just have to have the proper equipment and the proper training. TR
Tactical Rifleman have you experimented with wheeled moving targets instead of having someone walk back and fourth behind a berm ?
Ever have issues with the target stopping when hearing the charges go off? Or is the sequence fast enough that the bullet is already in flight before his body has chance to respond to the noise and or concussion of the charges? Just an interesting scenario to think about..It would almost seem better to have the sniper shot go off first especially if shooting suppressed...maybe have the shot go off on two and charges on three, entry on 4....I haven't had the opportunity to do that in combat though so there is probably something I'm missing...Great video
