Just something I learned from my Sargent he took a piece of sand paper and was smoothing his bullet to perfection I asked why he said at Long distance a minor flaw could put your shit off I asked him for some sandpaper. We were in the jungle sniping he gave his life for me
Just finished watching all 5 parts. Gotta say, I'm pretty eager to go apply what I've learned at the range. I'm told I'm already a natural marksman, and do pretty well for never having been trained (can consistently nail 8" groups with a .30-06 at 450 yds through a 9x scope zeroed for 100 yds). I'm currently building an AR-15 from scratch, going with A2 style sights with an 18" 1:7 twist free-floated barrel with mid length gas block, and so I've wanted to learn how to use adjustable iron sights, specifically the modern carry handle style. One thing I don't get is what's the point of being able to adjust the rear sight up and down for elevation if you just set it to the zero, and only change the front sight post for elevation? Is it just an option in the event your front sight isn't adjustable?
Goattacular The rear iron sight is used for windage adjustment. Left or right. If you don't need to make windage adjustments and only need to adjust elevation...rear sight stays static and you only adjust front sight
The rear sight is indeed adjusted for elevation after initial elevation for a 300 meter zero is adjusted from front sight. The elevation from rear sight provides a bullet drop compensation function whereby the shooter can set elevation to hit targets from from just past 300 meters to just beyond 600 meters.
I have been looking on you tube for the constant that is illustrated at the 9:20 mark. It shows that the m16 is 7 is there a book which tells the constant for other calibers or is there a formula to come up with this 7
You can go to a ballistics table for your cartridge. and look at bullet drift for a 10 mph wind at any given distance then just work the MOA wind constant backwards to determine the constant which would identify the given drift.
Wind is a mf b. If ever you go to fort Polk and practice which I think everybody will have a chance to it was my Suggestion yes Sir. Way back I had a Boss and friend called Dick Cheney VP
Wind also may not be blowing the same way or at the same speed in relation to Your position and the Target position. This is where using the formula and A LOT of trigger time comes into play. The Formula works.
There’s no problem with the MOA wind constant formula. It’s proven and all a shooter needs to do for best results is calculate the MOA constant for any given cartridge from a ballistics table for that cartridge.
My first rifle I shot was a 30 carbine and a 45 pistol I got a black eye from pistol but I kept shoot the carbine I was six years old my uncle done three tours in nam
If push comes bro shove buy yourself a air rifle and practice all the time and get your girlfriend in on it and kids also I have one and still practice all the time and it’s cheap cheap
Great info rundown
This lesson help a lot
hello i m Haïtien good training job
Aim Small Miss Small. Shoot the Same Spot using The Same Sight Picture Every Time.
This will be a great video series to send civilian AR 15 owners for when the Chinese Military takes an uninvited vacation to the west coast.

You watch too many movies; realize this, you aren't in a movie, and we all know you're full of shit!
Pay close attention to This closely. Wind can break a shot easy know your wind
I am looking for the constant for .300 win mag and the .30-06 any clues?

In the rare event the rifle gets damaged, theoretically the ability to adjust both sights would be needed.

Problem with that formula is that the wind is not blowing constantly,it comes in waves

Total noob with all this shooting stuff. THIS IS GOLD!
