Long range shooting is not just about buying an expensive rifle, throwing a big scope on it, and hoping for the best. In this episode of We Da People, Coach Glue comes back to break down what actually matters when you want first-round impacts at distance.
We get into long range rifle basics, .308 vs 6.5 Creedmoor, wind calls, ballistic coefficient, muzzle velocity, match grade ammo, dope, scope selection, and why getting behind the gun matters more than watching videos online. Coach Glue explains why he recommends starting with .308 if you really want to build skill, how wind affects your round, and why different ammo lots can change your performance.
The crew also talks about precision rifle gear, suppressors vs muzzle brakes, cleaning your rifle, ARCA rails, bags, triggers, rangefinders, Kestrels, ballistic calculators, and the CRAFT drill for finding your real shooting capability outside of prone.
