Shooting practice for hunting is far different than bench shooting. In this series of videos Randy Newberg explains how his shooting practice is designed to improve his abilities while in real hunting conditions.
During practice sessions we will show how to shoot in many different positions, terrain, and conditions that will replicate hunting situations. Seldom do hunting opportunities allow for all the comforts and certainties we find on a bench.
In this first video we talk about finding a "field zero" after traveling. Very often you will not have a bench from which to zero, so you are required to improvise and make due with less than perfect situations.
Point of this series being - hunters need to replicate hunting situations in the most realistic scenarios as possible.

Nice. I would have moved it a 1/4 right and tighten that group closer to the corner. But great info.

Last year I was guiding a gentleman in northern Utah. After several attempts he had missed two standing, broadside shots under 225 yards off shooting sticks. I stopped the hunt until we figured out the problem. After dry firing, it turned out he had a bad issue with flinching. That evening we spotted a nice buck, but I would not let him shoot until he could dry fire on the deer without flinching. After 10-15 mins, a short stalk, and over a dozen dry fires, he dropped the deer at 315 yards. Had we not stoped to check the rifle, he would have gone home empty handed. Instead, he went home with a big buck and a valuable lesson!

I can't wait for more videos like this! I have just started doing this with my 308 and 6.5x47 Lapua. Both outstanding rifles. Never have shot an animal front the bench, haha.

That is why we are doing this series. Big differences in the bench shooting and the frantic, unlevel, obstructed conditions we face while hunting. Thanks for watching.

Randy I really enjoyed this and was hoping you'd do a series on how to get ready for real live hunting type shooting practice. This was a very good start, and I welcome the other follow up series. I bought the book on How to Learn to Shoot Like a Naval Seal, and then I realized that I'm about 40 years too late!

Great Video. Appreciate the information. Question: Was that at 100 yards? I usually set zero at 100, but in the video that appeared to be much farther.

@Fresh_Tracks 6 жыл бұрын

That was 200. On that set up I have my CDS dials set for 200 zero. Thanks for watching.

Great video. What do think of a workout to develop stamina, strength, and confidence. Now I don' want you in a Jane Fonda type but prep time before we hunt makes the hunt better.

@Fresh_Tracks 7 жыл бұрын

I mostly hike, with heavy loads, over uneven terrain. When practicing shooting while exerted, I do burpees, jogging, jumping, or anything that gets my heart rate faster, though nothing seems to get my hear rate to the same pace as a big elk.

@christopherdavis2439 7 жыл бұрын

you really seem to love the short actions. have you had any experience with the 6.5 creedmoor and/or have an opinion of it?

@Fresh_Tracks 7 жыл бұрын

Yup, I've pretty much migrated to all short actions. I have a 6.5CM that I am working on. It will be ready for hunting use this season. What I see so far, I really like.

Randy, thanks for doing these great videos. I love the 7 mm-08 (short actions). Do you use the 300 Win. Mag. much? I find the recoil to be uncomfortable.

@Fresh_Tracks 7 жыл бұрын

I have three rifles chambered in .300 Win. I've killed plenty of animals with them. I like the light weight that can be obtained with the short actions of 7mm-.08 or .308 Win, so I seem to be reaching for those in most hunts and spend less time hunting with the .300 Win Mag. Thanks for watching.

@JamesWillmus 4 жыл бұрын

I know this question isn't directed at me and is old but I wanted to add in that with a properly engineered stock and recoil pad the 300wm is an excellent shooting cartridge. Surprisingly light rifles (such as Savage model 10 variants) can handle the 300 without issue.

@bernievincent5908 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Randy, Thanks for the videos. Notice that you don't bother holding down the forearm. Are you ever concerned about getting muzzle jump and shooting high. Just curious. I'm always trying to get better.

@Fresh_Tracks 7 жыл бұрын

I never hold the forearm. Never had muzzle jump, even with my larger calibers.

Good tip to aim for the corner of a small square, not the center...precision!

@Kman31ca 7 жыл бұрын

I just bought a Tikka 270wsm. I love it, besides the price of ammo. Next year I'm thinking 7-08 or 6.5 cm. What would be the pros and cons of those calibers? I know ballistically the 6.5 is amazing, but the 7-08 is no slouch either. Any advice would be great. And this for Elk, Moose, Dear and Black bear. And I don't reload yet.

@Fresh_Tracks 7 жыл бұрын

If you didn't have elk and moose on that list, I would say go with the 6.5CM. With those on the list, I would go with the 7mm-.08. I have both and they are great cartridges.

Depends on the rifle/cartridge. With this one, it was 100 yards.

Is it ok to dry fire a rifle like that? Its been drilled into my head that it's bad but i don't know forsure.

@TheNutzandBoltz 4 жыл бұрын

Not only is it OK, it is some of the best practice you can do. This is for almost all modern center fire rifles. If you have some weird WW1 German Mauser call an expert.

@JamesWillmus 4 жыл бұрын

If you're unsure then go get some dummy rounds. Dummy ammo is shaped like live cartridges but are very easy to distinguish. They have a piece of rubber where the primer would be which protects the firing pin. They are great for practicing all the motions of shooting in a completely safe manner.
