Love your delivery. No ego. No bullshit. No posers. Just facts and common sense. A rare occurrence these days. Thank you sincerely.
Thank you. I hope to be posting the continued segments very soon.
I'm happy to have found such a great teacher. Finally, after so many hypesters it so refreshing to learn from a sensible expert and Elder. I'm soaking in all your videos. Thank you, Sir.
Thank you, Mark.
I totally agree. There is hardly any better feeling than somehow happening upon an amazingly competent, quality, experienced mentor in any area and this guy is Grade AAA quality. Invaluable. Only thing that would be better would be if he lived on my street. I would somehow find a way to become indispensable to him (my wife’s biscuits, her chicken and dumplings, etc., might prove critical in that department), and I would listen, listen, listen, as much as he cared to talk about pretty much whatever he felt like talking about and felt important. But this is the next best thing!!!
What a blessing it is to be able to go on youtube and glean so much wisdom from a great teacher. So refreshing to get some meat as opposed to the watered down crap that so prevalent out there. Thanks for giving up your time in order for all of us to benefit from your experience. I have 3 boys and all of them will be made to watch your videos. My oldest (14) got his first deer rifle this year. It was a 7mm-08. I made him watch your video about that cartridge and he now has an appreciation for what a great cartridge that is and me as well being that I own one myself!! We've learned a tremendous amount these last few months and we thank you for it. Might go out here and teach myself how to shoot my pistol better now!!
I have been watching these videos shortly after discovering them. I have been shooting for over 50 years and am an instructor and one conclusion I have come to was how much I "didn't" know or nasty habits I didn't know I picked up. I am sure that by applying the information presented here that if I applied them, it would make me a better marksman and gun owner. Never TOO old to learn.
Thanks for an excellent set of instructional videos and thank you for your service.
Pherfinion Foggymoon You're welcome. Thank you for your comments.
Well you have not only made me better but you have made me dramatically better! And you've not just made me dramatically better you've made my wife and my daughters astonishingly better shooters. So if it gives you joy, then you have a double portion in my household. We are all very grateful Captain. Bless you!
"Inculcate" (00:57) - wow! lol Learning on so many levels. Great set of videos! Thanks!
Recently found your series of videos on various gun techniques and care. They are the best common sense and informative videos I have seen. Thank you for your service to us all and keep them coming if you can.
As a new shooter, the information in these videos is invaluable. Thank you very much for taking the time to make these segments.
Never come with a full glass. With a full glass there is no room for more information and experience. I've repaired firearms while in the military for many years, now long retired and I'm still learning, Refreshing to watch videos with no BS.
Came back to this after watching your later series in full, always want the best info so I'm "taking" this early class too. Thank you!
I recently found your channel and I'm so glad I did. I'm a relatively new shooter and you are systematically undoing all the garbage the so-called "experts" on CZcams have been feeding me. I greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into these informative videos. I hope you'll continue.
Thank you so much. That final wrap-up, take-home point is something and I will always keep in mind and share with others. Until the bullet actually leaves the gun, those sites must remain aligned perfectly on the target. I really appreciate these classes of yours. They should be compiled and an album or something. They are an excellent education for all of us. May God bless you as well.
thanks for the truth about hand loading,sportsman ethics,common sense goes along way.these think they know it all make me sick.experience is the best teacher.i am 72 an you have taught me alot.you are the real expert.i wish i had third of your knowledge.i love every. one of your segments.it is good to have truthful an honest knowledge these days.
The radius is the distance from origin to any point. Because the origin is always the same fixed point and the distance (radius) is always the same in any direction, a circle is created. Not that it matters, like you said.
Thanks for the teaching. You are an inspiration.
I have watched a few of your videos so far, I really like your teaching style.
I am a relatively new shooter using a Savage .223 Varmint rifle.
I also cant stand so many of these so called " experts" videos.
My main focus is bench shooting @ 100 yards I am learning so much from your videos. thanks
I couldn't agree more. Thank you, Mr. Blue.
Great video. Keep them coming. One a week. Smile there buddy!
I was thinking the same thing about the site radius terminology. On guitars, we call the distance between the nut and the 12th fret (and 12th fret and the bridge) the scale length. It is a straight line. We call the curve of the fretboard the fretboard radius. The second I heard that term for the site distance, I thought I had missed some vital information, or something. Thank you for talking about that! And thank you for your information on site alignment and how important that understanding is. I will never forget that!
Few people are both expert in their craft and expert in teaching that craft. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to more.
Sir I love your videos, thank you. Many respects.
The sight radius discussion out to the target was very interesting. Never saw that before. Also, comparing pistols to rifles; again very thought provoking. Well done. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing this knowledge!
Another great segment Sir. Thank you for taking the time to put these together, it's a lot of work and your old school experience is refreshing to the high tech gadgetry these day's. With the price of ammo every shot counts and it's good to know how to adjust your aim not the sights. Look forward to more of your teachings.
A good shooter is also proficient at safe weapons handling and is an asset to the nation.
Start them young and show them the right way. After over 50 yrs l am still learning which is why it is so interesting.🇨🇦🤠
Wow. I'm so glad I found you. And for the first time feel glad that I know nothing. Except that I had a hard time racking and filling my mag that one time I went to a range about three years ago. I'm waiting on my first two guns and expect to spend several days trying to absorb the owner's manuals. I guess I should start with the revolver. I was just thinking about how people assume you k;now stuff even when they address beginners. I hate that. I don't think you are going to do that. You are a great gift to me. Thank you.
Great info! All shooters, new and experienced, will always learn a lot from you 😎 🍻
Great video. I always enjoy you and the information you share.
Really appreciate the opportunity to get the straight goods and learn the basics. It's easy to get caught up in all the hype but a sound understanding of the realities of marksmanship is what will bring success and keep one interested for life in a great hobby. Thanks again for your time.
Thank you for your response. It's much appreciated.
Hello! Thank you so much for all the knowledge! I have been a subscriber for a few years now and rewatched/listened to many of your videos as they are so dense with information. I would love to hear you speak on gas checks in depth. You mention them in your bullet casting video but I have not heard you speak on them in any other videos. Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thank you for your time and passion it means a lot to me
Thank you for that.
Thank you. I may be your elder by a few years and you are teaaching me after a lifeetime of shooting. Tahnk you. It appears tis never "To Late To Teach An Old Dog New Tricks".
pure gold
Thank You so much ...
For reference and general comparison/comment; I worked at a Boy Scout Camp as shooting sports director. My rifle shooting merit badge students were required, at 50 feet, to shoot five targets with five rounds (.22LR), where a quarter (that is, a U.S. 25 cent coin about 7/8 of an inch or so) when placed on the target, could cover or touch all five holes. Most of my students had never held a firearm prior and ranged from 10 to 17 years old. We spent about 8 hours shooting over the course of a week, and the vast, vast majority of them were able to achieve this level of marksmanship without having to come for extra practice. From my observation the most important factors for shooting well seemed to be: taking one's time, paying attention to instruction, accepting criticism, appropriate attitude toward the subject. When looking at modern values, I don't see a lot of overlap of those factors that contribute to good shooting (and it must be said, they contribute to a great many other things), and the modern mindset.
Thank you very much for sharing this Sir.
I’m getting it 👍Thank you
You are the best Sir🙏
Very good. I can't wait for the next segments. There is so much good advice in this video. The basics, that is where it all begins. As the great Vince Lombardi said...the game is all about blocking and tackling. Nothing else matters until you master those two things. What i like about all your videos is you give the straight scoop and tell it like it is. There are no miracle $400 gadgets to buy, no super expensive solvents, no $3800 dollar barrel. Back to the basics...works every time. Keep em coming. BTW you must be from the east because we don't talk like that round here. (just kidding) My best to you and your family.
Thanks. Of course I come from the east, right where all the guns come from! God Bless.
When's the next segment? Can't wait!
Good video sir. I have been having problems shooting from the seated position whereby I am seeing a left to right sway through my crosshairs. I felt that I had found my natural respiratory pause, however I believe this May be the problem. Could you offer any advice. We are shooting rifle btw. Thank you in advance.
I'm so glad Benny is okay
thank you
What is Precision shooting?....Hitting what you aim at 👍😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
Thanks!
Thank you Sir 🙏
Good no-nonsense info--Look forward to the next segment. Perhaps you can do a 1911 cleaning video...
I can do that sometime. Thanks.
I lovehis guy
Re-watching just because. :) You recommend starting off at 50 yards with pistols and rifles. Do you zero your handguns at 50 yards, or the typical 25 yards? Are there any advantages and/or disadvantages (if these are the right terms to use) to particular zero distances? Or, is zeroing not much of a factor (proper sighting and technique more important)?
Nomen Nescio I believe that I suggested 50 feet as a good starting point for a handgunner, as it builds confidence, short ranges are easier to find, and the smaller targets are cheaper. However, as long as the appropriately scaled target is used, it makes no practical difference. Most handgun calibers using standard grade ammo have relatively little arc in their trajectory out to 25 yards, and only an additional 4-6 inches low from 25 to 50 yards, or about the amount of the lower half of the bull. Translated, that means that a center bull hold at 50 yards will result in a dead hit with most standard calibers, when the gun is sighted for a 6 O'clock hold at 25 yards. But competitive shooters that shoot at known ranges typically sight their guns for the specific distance, as it's more precise to use the 6 O'clock hold with the lower tangent edge of the bull. Because there is little difference in drop out to 25 yards, I always sight my handguns at 25 yards, unless I am competing at the longer distance. With combat guns, the difference in drop from 25 to 50 yards means absolutely nothing.
When I go to my local gun club (Belton S.C. gun club) I might be there for over an hour, and fire only 20 rounds.. Also at times, I'm the only one there with a gun with wood furniture. I appreciate all the love of AR platforms, but a good bolt action rifle is always a great way to go! Winchester, CZ, Steyr, Remington, etc., etc., etc. Rediscover the bolt action!
Nice Gun Club.
Your videos are great,I'm learning alot from your videos.Do you have any book's out that you have written on what your teaching?
Not yet. Perhaps there will be.
I hope you do write a book,I'm learning so much from you.I told all my buddies to check out all your you-tube videos,that they will learn a little from you!
People now days think guns have magical powers.
Precision and accuracy are two very different thing. Accuracy is hitting what you are aiming at. Precision is hitting the same point on your target time after time.
It makes sense to call it site radius. Follow me here on the trigonometry. There's an angle between the bore axis and the site line. From our old Unit Circle stuff (Derived from the Pythagorean Theorem), the muzzle/front sight is the center of the circle. I use this principle to adjust sites. I like to sight in my handguns to 25 yards. Let's say I'm punching 3 inches to the right for the center (bullseye) of my group.
Sine of Angle = Opposite Side / Hypotenuse Side
you keep republish these vids are you going to continue to answer questions you were good at it
Good video!
Tnx
That lack of marksmanship is a common mishap to almost everything we undertake today. From school exercises to carefully doing something. The lack of patience, the lack of Ambition and the lack of heroes is the issue. We have learned to follow the easiest path . There we must do something .
I feel somewhat like I am stealing when I watch these vids! All this wonderful information, and I didn't have to put forth anything in return. To rid myself of the guilt, I will put out a standing deal for anyone who needs help with a plumbing issue. I own a plumbing biz, an have I been in the trade for 30 years. Send me your questions, and I will answer to pay my debt to the universe!
have fun, Gerry
Hehehe...

This guy fills my heart, every videos. Tell your daughter you found her a new husband and we'll move accross the street.
What you will find out if you ever go out with a decent modern handgun or rifle is that it is more accurate than you are.
This is the kind of shooting that drives me. I never shot steel. Never pointed a gun at a man shaped target. Never shot a watermelon to watch it exploded. I eat the watermelon save the seed for targets. At 10 yards shoot seeds till fly shows up on rind. Shoot fly. Always looking for a smaller group. Lots of good shooters don't shoot from a bench. But to me a 3/8 outside to outside group at a 100 yards is a beautiful thing. Offhand it depends on how big is the side of the barn an how fer away.
Rear sight,front sight,POA(aligned),follow through-DON'T MOVE THE DAMN FIREARM-PRACTICE! That would take about six seconds to say. lol
But thanks for your video.
May be a good teacher but in this 20 minutes he used thousands of words and made exactly one point relevant to accuracy.
May kindly correct a philosophical error. God gave every person on the planet the right to keep and bear arms, not all governments respect this right. So, it is not true that only Americans have the right to keep and bear arms.
God indeed gives us certain inalienable rights, but in practice, only Americans are guaranteed that right by virtue of written authority granted by Constitutional Amendment. We don't live philosophical existences, which are unfortunately controlled by the governments that we live in. I was addressing the matter of real existence in a real world, so it is indeed "true". On a purely philosophical level, and being a man of faith, God intended us to love one another He loves us; to put down our swords. Life, Liberty, and the persuit of happiness may include guns and golf clubs to that end, but God revealed himself in Christ, who exemplified by his life and testimony on the Cross that the ONLY thing that matters is that we seek eternal life in his Kingdom. "Mathew 10:37". No possession in this life will get us to heaven, but in fact may make it more difficult.
@@GunBlue490 On this we will just have to agree to disagree. That governments don't respect rights does not in anyway take away what God has granted. Every man has a philosophy of life, mine is formed upon Catholic tradition and Holy Scripture. Attention to daily obligations matters too, this is how we "work out our salvation in fear and trembling". Cigars and beer are necessary for a proper discussion of these important matters.
Squirrels are SOB's. Especially when there are still leaves on trees.
