My thoughts exactly! I have a new rifle and want to learn how to shoot it the best I can. I’ve been reading articles and watching videos that suggest a variety of approaches. The man who can hit steel at over 1,000 yards with a .30-30 lever action is the man I need to listen to!

The one thing besides your sharing your form, is the fact you’ve done so tremendously well off hand with the strong winds you encounter and at such great distances is truly remarkable in the sense that your not shooting a favored cartridge like a military sniper and you’ve got it all down, your having to constantly adapt and adjust to terrible wind conditions with cartridges that you don’t specialize in and no scope to use windage holdovers, that my friend, not many can do, fantastic work and marksman ship.

A combination of analytical insight and intuition. You can't teach that... it's more about acquired wisdom and the age of the soul. Countless lifetimes lived well leads to an ease in performing acts some would call impossible. Another great video.

Very educational video. I am shocked by your shots from an open sight while standing! I especially liked the visual example of driving a car. Everyone who has ever been in an extreme situation on the road remembers this "time dilation". You seem to fall into another time dimension and watch what is happening from the side. The brain begins to think 100 times faster and give you instructions in millionths of a second, unlike the usual situation when it seems to be sleeping... Bravissimo again! I would really like to learn shooting from you if I were not so far behind two oceans...✌

Thank you sir for another enthralling topic. There is always something to be learned. When I was ~9, I pestered my father to buy a rifle. We lived on a rather meager Naval salary then so he gave me his 250-3000 Savage rifle with a shot-out bent barrel. We moved to the high desert of California and deer hunting is in some of the harshest conditions I've ever hunted. My father staked a 4-mile course and we would train for the seasons, fast hiking (double time) to each location and practicing our off-hand shooting and various positions at ~6,000ft of elevation. My heart was slamming in my chest, my ears ringing, and breath control was almost undoable but he seemed already good at it and he taught many of your key points. My friends would laugh at us. Well by the time I was 19, I put more deer in the dirt than all of my youth mates combined. My only difference was my continual practice and learning from what works and what doesn't. Thanks for this Mark. Really good!

That 'brain thing' you have going on reminds me of Dick Winters and Ronald Speirs from the Band of Brothers mini series. Both men had an extraordinary ability to remain calm under fire, formulate a plan on the spot, direct and encourage their men in the battle. I would think the 'brain thing' is a rare talent indeed.

Over many many years of hunting afield & target work not on a bench I’ve developed a “ timing” technique per se. Totally different than bench trigger technique. As my sight//crosshairs/ red dot? floats around the exact spot I need the bullet to be, I will move the finger in what I call a “ command “ movement. It’s different than just a jerk. It’s more of a controlled fast speed pull not a squeeze. Whether the bullet needs to be on the shoulder of an animal or head or even slightly in front of a running animal like wild hogs. It’s almost an imaginary vision I see where it needs to and most of time it’s there. In my target archery technique using a mechanical release which needs to be activated thru large back muscles movement ( like 0.0010” movement) I have trained enough, hours and hundreds and hundreds of arrows, to know that as my sight pin reaches the 7 o’clock position on the target the release will break and the arrow is gone. Due to the way the brain works the pin will have moved to the center of the dot/ circle/ in that literal microsecond before or as the string is released. Same thing with a rifle or pistol. When I do everything just as exactly right as physically possible the bullet or arrow will hit its intended mark. Long winded, sorry. Another very interesting video on your processes. 👍👍👀

One more question - what should be the length of the rifle stock of a hunting rifle and what weight is optimal? It seems to me that you have a very short stock and is it more convenient for you?
