The Blur!!!! Bart is quick to get 5 down range. Good video.

[Mulligan]

Found this video yesterday as I was surfing for some information.
@BartsBullets is fast!!!

Wow, didn’t realize how much I was doing wrong.

I think Alex used to have a video of Tom? Maybe shooting that was up there in speed too

That's the way 90% of the line does it at 600 & 1k group shooting. Gotta get em in that wind condition happening at 1st shot.

Notice the bolt manipulation. Easy, no Hard lift. Head stays down. Front rest returns to poa ...

 

[Walt Krafft]

Definately a master at work.

 

[JMayo]

@BartsBullets you're being called a "master" now.
Next time i see you I'll be sure and give you chit about it !

My hat is off to you for your scores and mannerisms at the range. (And the Mrs BB also).

When I started shoot long range in 2015 the firing line at the 1000 yard Nationals and 600 yard Nationals both looked like chickens pecking corn. A few of the Top guys had a similar style. But like Johnny said now 90 percent of the firering line looks stays down on the gun.

It was the same way in short range back in the day, Until Tony Boyer started giving shooting lessons around 2001. But that style of shooting comes directly from Allie Euber and Tony Boyer.

Curious to know how you setup extraction and firing pin cocking to create what appears to be effortless bolt cycling? One can’t see any stock motion due to the force being applied to the bolt handle! Getting my rifles to return so quickly and repeatedly to the same POA is currently my biggest challenge…

Work on your sandbags first. Gotta get the return to point of aim down to run fast

Would you elaborate on this a bit?

The less you have to readjust after each shot the faster youll be

Johnny,

Master, Sensei, Guru, Sage, Teacher whatever you’re comfortable with!

Looking forward to seeing you and shooting with you this year.

Besides Clay finding that video. There’s an article coming out pretty quick, in which that video is used in,Hopefully next week.

Stay Tuned. (Pun Intended)
Bart

BTW I can cut 2 to 3 seconds off that run.

Dusty, I guess I'm an idiot.

I followed what you were saying just fine. I was asking how that is accomplished. How do you do that? What do you look for? What are the things you recognize right away as an issue with the bags?

Thanks for doing this Bart.

Sorry!
soft is the key. Play sand or paver sand (no heavy sand), leather bags and make sure the sand molds but doesnt pack. Push on the side of the forend and make sure it doesnt move much on the target, slide it back n forth making sure it doesnt pop loose before it slides. Play with rest alignment until it tracks straight and goes back to your aiming spot

Having a Bat Action helps to start with. I full length resize every time with .002 clearance on head space. The firing pin has a 20 to 21 pound spring on it.

One trick is my thumb is at the back of the bolt and it’s pushing down on the stock as the bolt opens.

It's funny how so many shooters have a hard time believing much less doing everything you just said there. We see so many with bad habits and bad ideas.

 

[JMayo]

For me, Left hand holds the bottom of the 3' flat, holds against the bolt leverage and the returns rifle to battery.
As Bart said, thumb anchors on back of bolt.
Left hand Turns down to joy stick automatically.

Front & rear rest are quality. Action is quality. Ammo made to cycle well.

A quality rear .... Packed, not packed, tall ears, short ears the thinking goes on. That's all in trial & error i suppose.

I'm on the hunt for more "screamer" patches !
-1" group is my goal this year 600yds

I also want a 750 in 1,2 &300 yds score with 24 each wipeout ! (749 is pb)

My short range score was approved by ibs ! I stayed a national record holder for ....20 min ! Darn Chris G ....lol !

 

[AckAck]

So much fun to watch!!

Figured that Bart....

Also, if you have a very good tune the rifle will automatically return to battery "better". But only if your bag set-up is right.
