I've been shooting a long , long time but it is always comforting to touch base with the basics. Thanks man.
A lot right….but just as much wrong with this video.
It's so obvious this dude is a mall ninja he's dressed like an "operator" and he sounds like a fruit.
Good info. Thank you.
Thanks for the info! 🙂 My first carbine class is tonight.
great video very well explained and very good demonstration i used all of these methods while hunting only difference is my need to chamber another round as my weapon of choice is bolt action but your method was a great help

We don't need to see the guy talking. We need visualizations of the things he's explaining.
Great video
That was a good video damn
Nice job !
His name really isn't Fred is it?
nice video it helped a lot man thx
NSSF I only have one question (its a bit of a doozy) but I understand the need to shoot with both eyes open with any sort of optics (rds,scope) and handguns and shotguns too. But if I am doing target shooting at +100 yards with iron sights should I be closing one eye or should I really be trying to keep the non dominate eye open. The reason I ask this is because it is the only kind of shooting I am having alot of trouble with now.
and their stress levels go way up, as they are getting bombarded with info and can't catalog it. With the video, a viewer can pause every 15 seconds or so, but it will come across far more positive of an experience if pauses are included in the recording.
Great job. The only recommendation I would make is what pro speakers call "the pause." Remember that people aren't digital recorders and need time to "write notes" in their brain, analyze it, make sense of it, and catalog it. If we don't pause in speaking, they get about 30 sec of the presentation and then cerca 85% of the rest goes on one ear and out the other.
This is more for, say competition shooting. The only time this might be used in a "gunfight" type situation, would be a sniper or marksman finding a comfortable position to cover an area for an extended period before the fighting has actually begun.
this is more for marksmanship and not gun fights
I have a quick question about the sight alignment. Where should I put the front sight on my target? Am I going to want to set up the vertical line on the front sight so that the very top of it is what is on the area where I want to shoot?
This is exactly what I needed to see. I did some rifle shooting as a kid and I've forgotten all these tips. Great!
Nice Goju tat, Chris Fry!
awesome tips,thanks brother!
best marksman tips video ive ever seen
@guldahlrahmi Ok well I'm actually a really smart person sorry for using stupid grammar on you. Yes I understand the challenge I guess (although I am no where near ready). My vision is not that great, I think its 20-30 or 40 and I've had that ever since I was a kid. And I know you have to serve for a while but I didn't know 3 years. oh and the regulation change that's useful to know. But the fact is, I'm not obsessed with being the "best shot" but rather the silent and undetected killer.
@guldahlrahmi well I wanna be a army sniper maybe green beret or even marine scout sniper if im good enough. I mean sniper and not marksman, or designated marksman, not what i want to do
this guy Fred is like a statue…
im 15 years old and i wanna be a sniper when i grow up should i watch these videos a lot
why cant he let the trigger go then find the sight picture and stuff ?
FYI, Our nations flag on your right shirt sleeve is mounted in the wrong direction….we "charge into battle" not retreat……. just saying.
Just curious, as I keep seeing these but don't have that on my .22 AR: What is that..thing to the right and below the charging handle? Looks like something else to pull?
These 6 steps are amazingly similar to the 6 steps taught by Appleseed, except they do teach "squeeze" versus "press." I must admit I like the "press" idea better than "squeeze." I taught my 10yo these steps one afternoon and he improved dramatically – he's able to hit a soda can at 60 yds with a 10/22.
As usual always a treat to be trained by MDTS. I cant wait for a full day of training to build my skill as a a AR 15 owner and operator. MDTS is good at breaking down details to small fragments to be absorbed and utilized to improved performance. Thanks Chris.
I love these shooting tips, you cover details that are either forgotten or never learned. Always good shooting improment information.
curtispa, that stock is indeed pinned and was done so by Spike's Tactical for me prior to shipping the lower. Thanks – Chris
