    Your squeaky marker has my dog's full attention. Your knowledge has mine.
  • It's funny he actually puts his knowledge to use instead of doing a book deal and movie deal
  • @f143744
    He is exactly right on every point, listen and learn how to shoot. I’d rather go to the range on a windy, very windy day. Less or no people there, and you learn how to figure wind. Anyone can shoot good on a perfect day. Shoot on bad, really bad days, learn how your rifle handles, become a better shooter. This separates men from the boys...wind is the hardest thing to learn how to read, correctly. I’m a firm believer, If you ever need to shoot, learn to only fire one shot.
  • At about 1:50 it sounds like he's about to say "I suggest that you back the fuck up a bit."
  • @223ndog
    This guy is awesome and explains things really good and doesn't over complicates anything
  • This is some superior information and Ryan is an excellent teacher. Thank you Ryan and NSSF for providing valuable education to those of us who are willing to listen and learn.
  • In my opinion, Ryan's BEST comment was at 16:35 . "Next time it's a windy day, Go shooting !!" (or ANY day if you live in TX)
  • "I'm not going to try and draw an elk." Best line of the video XD
  • Agreed. Increasing level of difficulty increases the "Fun Factor" (at the range/outdoors). Great video series.
  • @TRoss240
    I learned more in the last 17 minutes about compensating for wind then I have in 10 years of shooting rifles in the Midwest. and yeah, 12 mph wind is pretty much is standard day here.
  • @tomkilty3192
    To me this is the best long range shooting vid out there! Thank you.
  • I wish i could hit that like button over and over again.
  • I really like Ryan. He's a go-getter, good-communicator, a patriot (thank you for your military service), a smart-ass (in a good way) and a helluva shooter. Keep up the good work!
  • Thank you, Ryan, for sharing us these skills. You are not just a Sniper, you are a good teacher as well... :).
  • i went today in the wind, aiming off target and seeing it hit where u truley wanted it to is an awesome feeling.
  • Windy day makes it difficult, better time to practice. When the wind effects and what it compensates completion .The target finals achievement!
  • I'm learning a lot, one step at a time, even though I don't have a weapon to practice with, I have the knowledge to use it, thanks 😊
  • Ryan, thanks for pointing out the need to simplify many of the technical aspects of long range shooting. I tend to get anal about gathering more information than I need on my weapon/load/solutions. This gives me less time to shoot and makes it more of a chore than a pleasure. Simple will get the job done for most of my shooting.
