    Biggest things for pre-course checklist is to: 1. Have your blasters/spare carbine/spare upper fine-zeroed so POA = POI at 100yds. 2. Fasteners all torqued properly per the optic manufacturer’s specs, not the scope ring specs. Base bolt specs are fine from the mount maker. 3. Magazines that all work 4. Ammo all dialed-in and verified that they cycle the action within the happy cyclic rate window and group to the course requirement. 5. Bipod attachment method dialed-in and not last-minute add-on 6. Sling set-up properly or be prepared to adjust it based on recommendations in the class. 7. Ear pro/eye pro with electronics so people don’t have to yell. 8. Proper footwear and clothing for the weather/conditions. 9. Ear Muff-compatible Boonie Hats are the bomb. 10. Gloves 11. Range bag to hold all your crap or a Drag bag style rifle case 12. Medium and small rear bags/front bag with personal identifiers/labels 13. Spares, extra batteries for anything you’re relying on that runs on batteries. Solar USB charger with cable for your phone. 14. Have a dope card worked out for your zero and ammo even if you’re used to relying on a phone. 15. Chrono your load if you can and build the dope off that, measuring your exact optic height rather than using a default. 16. *** Hydrate well before the course and be hydrated when you show up. Your mental and physical acuity/endurance will highly-depend on your level of hydration and rest. *** 17. Everything he said about kit and notebook, pens, glasses if needed. 18. Water bottles and Camelbak 19. Cooler with ice and water bottles really helps in the summer months. Warm beverage in thermos for the winter months. 20. Positive attitude and enduring positive attitude as the days and drills move forward. 21. Learn what Mils and MOA mean and how they measure at different yardages. 22. Focus on your windage dope and what it looks like with full value and half value wind conditions, what holds will look like for you at different distances. Drop is the easy part. 23. Review the fundamentals of marksmanship, to include follow-through and what that should look like. 24. Be prepared to be coached and improved even if you’ve been shooting for many years. 25. Have fun and enjoy the camaraderie of the course attendees and instructors.

    • @LRRPFco52
      @LRRPFco52 Před 13 hodinami

      Yup. Rifle = 24" barrel or longer historically. Carbines were shorter barrels with 20” being a very common carbine length before the AR-15/M16 came along. I think they just labeled the AR-15 a "Service Rifle" since it came after the M-14 Service Rifle, which had a 22” barrel but long flash hider than made it longer than a 24” barreled Garand. M-1 Carbine was 17.75” barrel. Colt 653, Colt 723, Colt 727, and M4/M4A1 all have 14.5” barrels and are all labeled Carbines in the TMs and manufacturer spec sheets. When SFOD-D built the first Light Sniper carbines for Snipers in Recce Troops, they used 14.5” to 16” barrels with Ops Inc and later KAC NT4 QDSS suppressors.

    • @LRRPFco52
      @LRRPFco52 Před 14 hodinami

      The supersonic reach difference between an 18” carbine and 14.5” carbine is 50yds shooting the same load. Probably one of the most overblown assumptions guys make about the performance advantage from longer barreled guns. The only thing that will ever get me to build an 18” AR again would be retro or another cartridge, and I already have 3x 18” Grendels. For 5.56, I will never do longer than 12.5” unless it’s for a Retro, and I still am looking at only doing Retros in Grendel from now on. In my DM courses, I send out homework in advance where you run the ballistics between 14.5” and 18” to see the drop and drift differences, and once you do that, you realize really quick how the 18” isn’t doing much for you other than being longer, heavier, less maneuverable, but shoots really smoothly with RLGS. You can tune the 14.5” to run smoothly and reliably though.

      @@reddxavier2103 The difference in supersonic reach between 16" and 14.5" is maybe 10yds. Go into whatever ballistics program you want to right now and look at the numbers. Both are anemic at distance, as is the 18" and 20" 5.56. Impacts on steel with them are really weak, barely audible as you start getting to 400yds and farther if there's even 7mph full value wind. There is zero practical advantage with a 16" over 14.5". MV is really close between the 2 as to be academic only. You're looking at 2920 vs 2945fps with 62gr M855. Only 1.5" barrel difference.

Spr and mk12 are specific military names and goodness. I really don't want to get into it with cloners. Besides it's mostly for target work inside of 550 yards so I'm not as worried about terminal effects. Also I'm using a mil grid reticle. I'd never expect a bdc to be accurate enough.
