I need a scope for such shooting, I can’t decide what will be best for static targets

long range shooting is not so simple and this knowledge is very useful for the beginners because the method of self-knowledge is very difficult to have this knowledge

Great list Bryan. Even the most experienced can get lazy from time to time and try to shortcut this list, which on a long range shot, is a big mistake.

I am an intermediate lr shooter and I am not to proud to say that I need a reminder on these subjects now and again….

Bryan, I own and use everything that you have produced (books, DVDs, software). Your knowledge on Long Range Shooting is in my opinion second to none. That being the case, I have no idea why you are worried about making extremely basic videos for new shooters? That would be like Einstein doing a skit on physics for kids on Sesame Street. I could applaud your efforts for trying to expand the shooting sports and educate new shooters, but there are hundreds of other people who can do that. You on the other hand, are the only person who has the ability and knowledge to address the very advanced and detailed long range shooting topics/issues. PLEASE do what you and only you can do which is tackle the high end engineering / ballistics issues that are truly critical for successfully Long Range Shooting. No disrespect intended, just frustration that talent like yours is not being utilized to its fullest potential. Thanks!

Bryan has it exactly right. This is good basic information. And like any good scientist, Bryan must establish a baseline for the information and proofs to be submitted after.

I used to think I was smart…until I met Bryan.

I’ve always seen Bryan reply to post like that above the exact same way. Cool as a cucumber.

Bryan, you must be one classy dude. Against the flood tide of ego above, I think I would have had trouble maintaining the level of composure you just did.

Just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s working, for those that will listen.

LRShooter101,

You’re correct that the information in these videos is basic, introductory information. That’s actually the point. Applied Ballistics puts out high end information on long range shooting but we’re also interested in growing the shooting sports and general interest in long range shooting from beginners on up.

The critical nature of range and wind measurement may be second nature to experienced long range shooters, but there was a time when we had to learn it too. We all started somewhere and were all ‘green’ at one time. New shooters looking to learn about LR on the internet are likely to encounter more non-sense about obscure theories than actual good information. Some of these videos aim to help bridge the gap for those green horns with good BASIC information.

Believe it or not, my most common criticism is that the information put out by AB is TOO high end, catering only to the elite and ignoring the beginners. These videos contain topics which are intended to span the range from novice to expert. If this video wasn’t at your personal level, stay tuned, the next one might be more interesting.
