Actually, Mark, you're extremely good at explaining things, despite your statement to the contrary. Don't change. And thanks.

I have watched these videos for a while and there is always something to be learned in the long range shooting arena. I have been shooting in both long range and extended long range shooting. I currently shoot a Sako TRG-42 in 338 Lapua with all the bells and whistles. I just can't get enough of it!

It is probably the best presentation on prone shooting position I've ever seen. Very informative. Thank you!

Logical, comprehensive, personal experience and all with visual demonstration. I think you're an excellent teacher. Thanks mate. NZ

This was worth listening too. I like shooting long distance and this was a very helpful tip as I am a novice shooter it will be easier for me to change/correct my shooting position. Thank you

Fantastic description of technique. I love how everything you do is either data-driven or based on what is most comfortable for you (and thus creates good, repeatable data.) No preconceived notions of what 'ought' to be done or what is 'proper.' I really appreciate how everything you do on your channel you can defend in a logical manner without resort to appeals to authority or other such logical fallacies.

I appreciate your honesty in letting us know that you are not a professional. Remember that professionals built the Titanic and armatures built the Ark. I would love to know more about your entire setup, rifle, scope, and a very interesting looking stock rest.

Very humble in your presentation of how you set you and your rifle up for long range. Everything from explaining why your feet are not down flat to why your stock is on your collarbone and so forth. Thank you for instilling 'consistency' as the wanted result. Excellent video.

Brilliant video, well explained. Every shooter regardless of experience should watch this. Well done Mark.................. and Sam of course.

The more I learn and the better shooter I become, the MORE your advise makes sense. I’ve been watching for several years, you’ve taught me and given me a lot to think about. My groups are now consistently between .5 - .7 moa with a great deal based on your advise. You Sir have taught an old dog new tricks! Yes I’m rewatching this video for the 3rd or 4th time because I learn more each time I listen to you.

Mark - just discovered your videos short time ago and have already learned a lot of great and valuable info. THANKS for the efforts, they are genuinely appreciated !!!

Mark, that was absolutely fantastic. Only having 33,000 views is a bloody shame. I'm sitting here with a notepad taking notes. That was fair dinkum the most practical-informative-common-sense video I've ever watched on shooting, ever. Cheers from Toowoomba.

Thank you for posting! Not only a great explanation, but also the reasoning to go along with it!

I really enjoyed the explanation of your technique for prone shooting. I will try your techniques next time at the range. Thanks!

You're descriptions are very clear, concise, and understandable. Thanks for your efforts!

Thanks for making this video. I think you do excellent work explaining your techniques and processes.

Awesome info, very balanced. Thank you for this video! I really appreciate your honesty, and modest view of how u shoot and what u recommend 👍🏼

Great job! Enjoyed hearing your insights on long range shooting.

You guys give away amazing information. I love your humble approach, but you are a very intelligent critical thinker. Your videos are about things that I just haven't considered before, but the techniques are so common sense, once you illustrate them to us. I have learned MORE from you, than all other gun channels combined, when it comes to precision shooting. Thank you! You guys are awesome!

Cracking video. Mark and Sam mange to share knowledge and expertise in a very honest and modest way. I think Mark is one of the best LR shooters in Oz.

Excellent video with great insights! I'm waiting on my first custom long range rifle in6.5 Creedmoor to arrive and I can't wait to put this into practice. Thanks!

New to the channel but enjoying your videos, thanks for the time and effort. Cheers Tim

Great video! I love seeing the "think out of the box" ideas. Thank you... Add a beer to that Trg :-)

Thanks for the info! I have my first small bore 100 yard prone match tomorrow morning and these thoughts will help me out! Have fun, Gerry

Love these videos guys, you say your not a professional, I would like to say thanks for such professional insight into a fast becoming hobby I cannot get outta my mind

I would like to thank you for your time and great video. I am not new to shooting but new to precision shooting. Working my set up towards F-Class style shooting I have been trying different prone techniques. Your video has helped me out very much so I just wanted to thank you. Getting my chest off the ground and having my body completely comfortable throughout the shot has shown very good on the paper.

You have a clear explanation for why you do everything. That was a real pleasure to listen to. New subscriber.

finally, found a answer to a problem i have been having my neck hurts why because my chest is on the ground thank you ... i will be raising my rifle up till my neck does now hurt wow thanks so much...

This helped me so much! I’ve been having so much trouble shooting prone!

I don't know what makes someone a professional shooter, and with that I don't know how your not a professional shooter! Awesome video mate, and being 6ft6 and the same weight as you plus a bad back and knees makes shooting difficult, especially on a budget using rifle stocks made for people a head shorter then me. Good to see a video on how to adapt to shoot comfortably for you and not being told YOU MUST shoot this way or your never gonna hit the broadside of a barn. Cheers from Victoria Also loved your reloading video, great to see someone who can shoot like you do but without all the ridiculously expensive "custom" gear. I'm running a nearly identical setup to you

Fantastic video! Thank you for sharing what you've obviously learned from years of practice. I'm tall also, so I think these techniques should work for me too. Cheers

Let's just get this out of the way right now...SUBSCRIBED! Very well thought out and explained sir. Your knowledge and humility are a breath of fresh air, both of which go a long way toward gaining huge respect. I also like your "outside the box" thinking although in reality, your methodology is simply based on sound thought processes, attention to details, and applied physics. So, even though other "experts" might have various critiques of your shooting style, the bottom line is you get the job done...repeatedly. How you get there is moot. I don't give a rip what anyone says...you're a professional if you're ringing steel over 4K. I'm in the process of building a precision rig now and have been doing a TON of research on gear and techniques. Your vids have given me a lot to consider as I venture into this new area of shooting and I can't thank you enough. Keep them coming on any shooting topic you care to share with the world. We need more of what you're offering Mark. BTW...Texan here too and yeah...we'd get along just dandy. I'd totally dig having a few brews with you brother. Cheers!

Best teacher I’ve seen on KZfaq ! Wow u just gave me so much to work on ! Right on!

Quite the education, presented very well. I see the shooting system you use is as monolithic as the ammo. Conventionally The rifle is braced against the body, but with your technique the entire system incorporates repeatable motion that is very well regulated in total travel and direction literally in one with the whole unit from the brake to your toe,> right toe,< left toe! Everything is working together and I really appreciate you sharing this particular aspect of consistent accuracy.

That alll makes perfect sense. I think, like almost every other human action, there is more than one way to do it with good results. Like you said, the key is repeatability or consistency. Great video!!

Very helpful! I’m new to precision shooting and an experienced shooter at the range told me my shooting position was too high, I use a Harris 9”-12” rather than a 6”-9”. Changing to a lower bipod is a big deal because I would have to change the height of my rear bags to match. Watching your video has restored my confidence that my slightly higher setup is just fine..

Some very useful tips in this video that’s actually addressing a few wrong points in my shooting fundamentals right now that u can see in my posted video. Thanks for that!

I'm just starting on this longer range thing (400-1000)mtr and you have given me some very helpful insights to some things that could well get me out of the starting blocks faster so to speak awesome . from across the ditch lol NZ keep up the awesome work

There's only one thing I can say, and that is THANK YOU !!!

Very technical, very reasonable without all the RA RA you hear from the other channels. Beautiful weapons. You must be an engineer. :-)

It was 7 years ago, and now for me it is fresh new, because I starting my way to be a shooter. So for my first adventure I bought a CZ457 .22LR for first step, to feel, play and learn! :) thank you for your video and tips you shared! It is important for me because I am also not a cat person, rather I'm box of concrete.. :) Many thanks !

Thanks for the breakdown. Its interesting to see how you break it down & analyse the problems & are prepared to think outside the square.

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Good stuff!

you may not be military but your track record speaks for itself. if you're makin hits past 4000yds so I think you got a say.

perfect video, helped confirm my technique of getting my body comfortable, i cant get real low either, and then getting the rifle with bipod and rear bag to fit ME!

I went to a resent PRS class and the instructor said shoot off your Collarbone just as you described and get straight behind the rifle. He said it’s uncomfortable at first but get used to it. Good video

Always learning a critical foundation & points to systematically become repetitively consistent shooting. Thanks Blessings

You’ve certainly addressed an issue I’ve been pondering. Although I’ve never shot prone and mostly shoot offhand, the few times I check drops and zero from a bench I have to firm up. Otherwise my groups open up. I manage to deal with the muscle fatigue that comes with firm grips and solid muscle flex. And have gotten quite proficient. However, this video makes me realize shooting doesn’t have to be the equivalent of a gym workout where you come out all pumped up-lol.Even with heavier recoiling cartridges. I need to work on this relaxed muscle approach; particularly as I age. Apparently Mark has made me realize it can be done. I am less perplexed, now I have to practice enough to figur it out to achieve proficiency. As always, good input Mark. Thanks this was very helpful!

Absolutely Loved this video!! Thanks

Love your video ! Thanks for sharing !

Mark. Always look forward to your videos. Your the man Great video Mate

just goes to show you dont even need to shoot anything to drop a bomb on the community. this channel is as real as it gets for practiv cal tips when yer trying to teaxh that bucket a lesson. amd one of tjese days i will convince me aoife to reach out and touch faith at 400

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences. Lots of good information.

Thanks. My most difficult position to shoot from. I’m still learning yet this helps very much. Thanks

You actually answered one of my questions, that I asked you, from a previous video. I wondered exactly how much rearward pressure that I should be putting against my shoulder. You answered that for me.

I don't watch you because you are not a professional teacher or whatever. I watch you because you are miles ahead of others.

Hello from Vancouver Canada. Thanks for that. I just got a 6.5 Swede in a sporterized configuration and found a spot where we can shoot out to 480m; small change for you, kinda pushing it for me. No luck so far, but this should help me get there. I'll report back!

Great Video. Very helpful. Tks for sharing your knowledge

Awesome .... clear lessons on what you and Sam do and why. I will enjoy these off season tips and tricks . Thank you for your time and efforts as your share your experience and knowledge...... thumbs up !! Stay Safe and regards from the Panhandle of Texas....:o)

Thanks for a good and educational video! Well done.

Really good video. simplistic and down to earth application of shooting position. Well presented. Thankyou

I like your style brother. Good job!

Mate, great video, I watched again.

Thanks mate great video!

No truer words. You are a saint and a scholar.

Your a great teacher!

Great video very good information. Subscribed and liked -going to watch more -keep up the good work.

Going to give this lesson a go this afternoon just at various hunting distances tho. Cheers again

Good job! Keep on !

Excellent fundamentals! You think like an engineer. How is this thing going to move? You have addressed some issues that I have long thought should be true. THANKS!

Once again well done.

Thank you Sir very very informative lesson. Great job 👍💯

Great video. I'm just getting started, and the only problem I"m having is where to put the buttstock on my shoulder in prone. Just letting it bounce off my collarbone becomes uncomfortable quickly, and I'm just shooting a .308 lol. I'm glad I found your channel.

Thank you....Good on ya, Mate !

Very nice, thank you!

Thanks a bunch, I wish you could mentor me , I’m new at prone but am very eager to learn more. I am subscribing to your channel.👍👍

Mark you may not be getting paid to shoot but by God you are certainly an expert . Yourself and Sam can surely have an opinion. Excellent tutorial . Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

awesome video I find it hard to shoot the way everyone shows. but that way is the most comfortable for me aswell shooting my 338 trg42

Thanks for the great video. What bipod is that ? Need to do a video on your bipods.

good stuff. thanks for taking the time to do this. learn the insightful aspects of what you do.

Hi Mark great video , one question about your set up though. I recently purchased a Sako trg 42 338 lapua mag and very happy with it. How did you manage to raise the cheek piece up so high without optional spacers? Thanks

you guys are amazing.

Good enjoyable vids . What do you mean , it's the off season ?

thank you for the good lesson. one thing - you mentioned your thumb pressure, but what about your three fingers? do you pull back with fingers or finger tips? how much pull? oops you discussed this after you said this was everything! thanks, and i hope you can get to california for some shooting.

I would ask you to do a long range test with the Sako S20 6.5 creedmor medium barrel 24 inch rifle. Thanx.

Can anyone identify the rear bag and rest elevator being used? Great information!

MarkandSam AfterWork, Thank you for showing us your technique. These are excellent shooting fundamentals, and these foundations will serve me well as I get into long range shooting one of these days. Do you do any other type of shooting outside of prone? I would love to see how you shoot when prone is not practical for whatever reason and what consistency and accuracy you can generate there.

Nice video.

Great video. on your remington 700 did you do anything to the stock or action to accurize it or did you just bolt it on and go?

Hi! What would be your advices regarding that i've planned to shoot 1 m Square paper target at 1000m with my 243... (Not so common try in France)... But i'll do it whatever it takes!

Where did you get your rear bag lift? I would like to have one of those!

Not sure if you will see this but I have the exact same stock and TRG bipod I want to mount it in the stock like you did. I have the finnacuracy adapter but it’s 2” away from the barrel. Did you mill that out and glue it in permanently or can you take itnout

What is the term for the slide you have under the butt of the stock? I think that is a genius attachment and am possibly overthinking in my search for it, hopefully you can tell me what I should be searching for!

Did anyone count how many times he said "essentially"? lol, love the videos by the way

That slider you have under the rear stock, DIY or....?

I rather enjoyed the information you presented here. Obviously you are speaking from personal experience, which means much more than anything else. I had one question, maybe you have thoughts on it: I always see my heartbeat in the crosshairs, and I believe it's because of the muscles I'm using to hold my head up. Do you rest the full weight of your head of the cheek riser?

Your are the same Mark, who owns Marks's Workshop in WA? If so, well done mate.

I am 6' 3" as well. Try one little change. Put a butstock on the ball of your shoulder, instead of nesting it inside the pocket between your shoulder and the collar bone. The first time in my life I had sub 1/2 MOA group was when I made that change. It took me more than 3,000 rounds to discover it!

I notice your bipod is attached directly to the barrel. Does this affect barrel harmonics?

very nice
