Sweet Jesus - you raised the bar even more Thomas! The video quality, editing, in frame text, and your talking: all top notch! 👌🏻 Thanks for taking the time to put this together 🙏🏻
@@THLR Ha every miss is an Ego check, (then an equipment check, then a load check, then a scope check, then a shoe check, then a bipod check, then finally when all checks out) An Ego check :-)
Many thanks for that. I have already filmed the next three episodes, they all follow the "conversation path" with constant repeating of how to build the position for shooting. I find that I can be much more detailed and precise this way.
Thanks Jim. Took me a while to get over the cringe-factor of hearing my own voice, but found it good to use the lockdowns to learn new skills. Editing the next episode now, hoping to put out one film per month.
I was running the Kuiu bags for a bit in the Canadian Rockies for sheep, ran into the same buckle issues and if the bag wasn't loaded tend to flop. I always go bigger on bag in hopes of more meat, but usually just pack more gear because I can... I will never learn. Switched to the Stone Glacier 6900 and haven't looked back. Sinches down nicely as day pack with decent room, and my R8 with GRS stock does fit nice with their rifle attachment and fairly quick to detach. They are a bit easier to get in Canada then I bet Norway, still run into import and return issues though
Seems like you have similar problems to me. Living where I do means there is a lot of gear I can't get hands-on or try before buying, and once I order from abroad return becomes a major hassle. Always a bit of a gamble and a fairly high failrate unless I stick to brands like Arc'teryx, Rab or similar alpine stuff. I also ordered the smallest Kuiu bag to use on the same frame, it was crap on a level where every alpine pack I have is better. (It is held to the frame via compression straps and you can't get into the bag without opening said compression straps. That's just doesn't work in my world). With the expense of returns, for all practical purposes it is a piece of junk. I'll fill it with coal and burn it, at least it can do one-time service as a disposable BBQ...
The man, the legend! I agree upon your view of gear. Alpine gear from well known brands last. My Stone Glacier backpack have carried three small reindeers, and it already starting to fall apart. Very, very disapointing. And the first impression of the SG backpacks is that they have bought all the materials on ebay!
@@MsJontan Ouch, that's painful! Those are expensive backpacks. I have had a series of expensive lessons that taught me to be sceptical of US hunting brands, Sitka was also underwhelming. Good fabrics, but the cut left my waistline exposed.
@@MsJontan that sucks to hear and brings to light another issue that plagues all those who import gear, quality control. I have had the pleasure of 2 Canadian moose to be packed out in the SG bag and it has held up very well. Ha, that's almost a full metric ton of meat. Those moose were not alpine by any stretch but was 5km through alder chocked heck hole haha. I find the big issue is no matter what gear you get it still says made in China, or now Vietnam and has that ebay feel you described. I hope you'll let me still that line from you.
@@THLR I am actually doing a very expensive personal review of a bunch of "hunting" pants and in 7 months already sent 2 back for warranty and I didn't even hit the hunt season yet, just training and scouting. Cool features and you are correct the fabric is nice but this "athletic" fit they sell us on, never made any sense. What Ken doll did they try these on. Further every feature in the world doesn't matter to me if the pant doesn't even last to get to the season.
Thanks for that. Hoping to show more of the new editing skills in the next episodes, this was more or less a practice episode to explore what I can do with new tools and software.
Very warm welcome back Thomas... i used the time well, and revisited many of my favorite videos while you where away, and the longrange film... my favorite shooting instructor by a mile... 😉😎
Thanks Stefan, very generous of you. Good luck with this years season, I'm just waiting for some shit weather to scrub out all the people so I can go bird hunting...
Thanks Anthony. I am hoping to have a film per month now. I have the raw material for the next three, but finding time off to also edit can be a bit tricky...
Thanks for that. Aiming to be a little more useful and detail oriented. I have already filmed the next three episodes, it just takes a bit more time to edit now.
My friend you are a beast in the shots! I have a regulated PCP and now I can play a little shooting at 100 meters or even more, I will make some cool targets and apply your tips, it will be fun. A big hug!
takk for at du tok deg tid til å vise oss alt som er nødvendig som forberedelse til skuddet (og til å begynne med klær og ryggsekk). Det er alltid godt å lære feilene mine og prøve å rette dem. (beklager for spraket mitt men jeg lærer også)
Yeah, I think the Triggercam was a good investment. From searching "scopecam" it seemed to be the only name that came up with a practical solution of sufficient quality. Most of the other stuff seemed to lack focus and recoil resistance.
@@THLR very nice! That’s a great teaching tool for shooting. You detailed it so well on natural point of aim. That’s a hard thing to teach when you can’t show it through an optic. You are a great instructor. Also that clarity of the your optics is superb. You can see mirage but it is so detailed it’s like looking through a scope with Schott glass.
Ikke Duracoat, men plastprimer etterfulgt av akrylspray. Husker ikke helt fargen, Cadmium yellow medium eller bronze yellow, tok den boksen som var på salg. Pipen var Cerakote luftherdende, tror det var noe rester fra butikken. www.liquitex.com/row/products/professional/colors/spray-paint/
I lovehate 6 XC. It's precise but expensive, and NO! I absolutely don't have time for reloading these days, it's going to be almost exclusively factory ammo.
Excellent video! Scope cam is actually pretty good. It is easier to see errors. Like in all your shots, why is recoil up and left after? Shouldn't crosshair jump back to about the same spot after recoil? At least not to one of the sides. I mean then you know you are totally relaxed spot on and not forcing the rifle to center. When I competed fältskytte I was learned that you have a good solid shooting position first when barrel automatically falls back aiming spot on target after each recoil. But this is more of a theory, I might be wrong. Excellent shooting btw!
Thanks Daniel. Never done that for me with a light rifle (does w heavy), but I will be experimenting with stock fit and see how that changes recoil. You can change the "trajectory" of the recoil a lot with right elbow placement. As it is here (crammed up against a slope) I am simply unable to get the elbow in the right spot without exceeding bipod height.
At your skill level I'm sure you are already aware of how much a bipod attached to barrel will affect its harmonics and POI, but.... might I ask how much you notice this affect at say 500 meters? IE: Bipod attached to forearm vs on barrel
@@THLR Good whew...at 4:06 it looks as if the bipod is attached to the barrel and I thought WHAT??? lol. It must be a spigot mount then on the forend huh. Not used to seeing those I suppose
Thanks for your concern, but no. It is as you say attached via spigot. The bipods "C" contruction puts the rifle gravity below the bipod's balance point which makes it very easy to stabilize. SImilar construction to this www.accu-shot.com/catalog_new/45-5-h-atlas-bipods
Hours can be lost chasing equipment faults that don't exist when people forget about human errors, very important lesson. You sound much less Scottish when not in Scotland, just an interesting observation.
@@THLR Oh good. I don't feel so bad carrying the same weight :). Welcome back. I hope the break from constantly creating content was good. Remember to take the time away. Otherwise you will get fed up and burn out.

Minox ZP5 er mitt allroundsikte og denne har jeg hatt ganske lenge nå. Fint sikte når det skal undervises og skytes presist. Har jaktsikter også, men dette er "best" til å teste Triggercam systemet på og vise prinsipper.
@@THLR Hvilket sikte ville du anbefalt til allroundsikte? Siden jeg har sett deg bruke S&B, kahles, minox, blaser og leupold så har du vel kanskje en formening om hva som er å foretrekke.
@@ktk2303 Nei det har jeg ikke, jeg kjenner bare til de merkene jeg selv har brukt. Men topp optikk, justerbare tårn, belysning begrenset til siktepunktet, 50-56mm objektiv og forstørrelse => 15x er det jeg synes er mest allround til mitt bruk.
Love the new style, Thomas. Your videos have always been first rate and your beautiful Norway is... well... BEAUTIFUL.
Thanks Marc, just in from a very wet trip and hopefully got some scenery from there as well.
Good to see you again. This new style of content is great. Keep it coming.
Thanks. Over the next three episodes ( I think) we ramp up the precision and will be detailing position enough to shoot a 6cm target at 600m.
Sweet Jesus - you raised the bar even more Thomas! The video quality, editing, in frame text, and your talking: all top notch! 👌🏻 Thanks for taking the time to put this together 🙏🏻
Had to do something with the lockdowns...
Добрый день 🤝 Спасибо за видео 👍👍👍
No problem!
Outstanding content Thomas! I really enjoy the new video format...
Thanks Dan, I'm hoping the new camera option will offer better insight and understanding, espescially for new shooters.
Wisest words, “ it’s always you” something I will remember from now. Great video Thomas Thank you👍🏻
Thanks glad you liked it. Once the shooter's ego is checked I can dive into ballistics and more position stuff.

Hi T, happy to see your new videos. Hope to see more soon. Andreas from Gemany
THanks Andreas, they should be right around once a month. I have filmed the next three episodes already, but need to find time for the editing.
Nice to see you back again, Thomas. I really enjoyed hearing your narration, you're doing a good job sir.
Thanks Jim. Took me a while to get over the cringe-factor of hearing my own voice, but found it good to use the lockdowns to learn new skills. Editing the next episode now, hoping to put out one film per month.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with the voice over. You're an educated man Thomas, after all you speak one more language than I do. 😉👍😉
I like that hold idea. If the ammo is consistent you can work your way on. Nice
Thanks. It's very effective as long as you know if the wind is left or right.
Always a good time watching you 👍
Thanks, that's a bit scary coming from your callsign 🤣🤣
Thank you very much, especially for the gear / equipment descriptions, that is exactly what I was asking for ... good job.
Glad you found it useful!
Nice job and like your new gear. J.
Thanks John. This episode was more or less experimental, next one will use these tools and go a bit deeper.
