Rifle Sighting

Video Transcript

"When we're talking about accuracy and bullet weight, really the bullet weight or the amount of grains in a bullet, the weight of the bullet is only going to dictate how much faster that bullet's going to drop before it hits the target. So, for all intensive purposes I'm only going to use my shooting stick like right now as I would in the field, but when you're doing this typically you would want to have a shooting bench to take the human error out of checking your trajectory and the rate of drop of your bullet. When you're getting ready to take a shot, it's really important that you're really comfortable, and that your gun's completely still. If I were to sit up in a method like this where I'm just on the tips of my toes, I don't have balance enough to hold this scope steady enough to take an accurate shot. So I like to get down, get relaxed, get this set up nice, so that I'm comfortable and I'd be able to sit here for ten minutes and just stare at it and have a nice clean steady shot. When you're taking that shot don't hold your breath. Nice easy long breath, and as you shoot just gently exhale so that you're not pulling when you shoot that gun. It does give quite a kick, a lot of people when they're shoot this gun or learning how to shoot hold their breath so they jump when they shoot, which makes the target pretty much impossible to hit, it will anyway. So relax take an easy few breaths, find that target, see if you can stay there on it for a little while."
