In this video we cover how Snipers train to shoot moving targets.
First, you have to determine your “Lead.” That’s based on “Time of Flight” and the “Speed” that your target in moving.
Second, you have to master the techniques for cracking that sear so your bullet arrives at the same place as your moving target. We cover the two techniques of Tracking and Ambush. Both techniques work well and each have advantages and disadvantages.
The Ambush technique is the most common one used by Snipers in school, because it allows the shooter to set up a stable firing position. The targets are at a set speed and don’t change direction unannounced. This makes for accurate shots and high scores on tests. It is easily the most accurate technique for shooting movers.
However, in real life, breathing targets often wander around and change gait and direction, which may screw a shooter using the Ambush technique.
Which brings us to our second technique for shooting movers, which is Tracking. This requires the shooter to move his weapon with the movement of the target and then break the trigger when the sight picture is at the correct lead. This is less accurate, because the shooter is moving rather than being in a static stable firing position.
I prefer the Tracking technique for shooting on a count down. What am I talking about? Imagine your sniper team is supporting a hostage rescue assault. Snipers are hidden, assaulters are at breach points and there are several enemy sentries walking around. Now, the whole assault is going to go down off of a count-down on the radio. All snipers have to shoot at the exact same time, otherwise the first bullet crack would alert the rest. Now, because of this, you can’t guarantee that the sentry will be at your Ambush point right on the count-down. So, you have to move the crosshairs with him, which is using the Tracking Technique.
I hope you enjoy the video. I enjoy teaching and filming the sniper subjects. I know it’s not “sexy”; so we wont get a lot of “Views.” That’s fine. I hope some of you learned a little something; and that’s what it is all about. Thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR.

What weapon I'd that?
I like Kevin’s job 😅
Excellent video thank you.💥💥💯
Excellent!
I'd like to try something like this, looks like something that could keep me occupied for a while.
Great video
Obviously you just turn aim assist on in the settings
Don’t stop and take a smoke break.
Go Karl !
Love the vids…. Unfortunately so do the terrorists….. think about it!!! 🇺🇸💪👍. And fjb
So you mean shooting 762$51rounds with these holds. ? 🇺🇸💪👍 and fjb
Now where the heck do you get a range like this?? My ranges won't even allow steel.
BRM is everything.. great video, thanks for the tips. Basic teaches a lot but the fine details. Practice Practice Practice.
Not fair? There's competition and "real world." Practice with one rifle. If not, sure shoot leading edge and correct for impact. AMBUSH is best if target is moving fast. Once you learn your trigger brake and speed of target you'll have it. Tracking works if your not sure of target lead and target is moving slow. Basically you make a moving target a stationary target. I use a combination.
Well which round is well suited for long rand 1000m and above .308, .338 or .50, I think the bigger the round the more it will deflect by wind and gravity?
Ummmm what if a nut finds this video? Someone thats gone postal…
The image I got when Karl explained, "shooting behind the mover to compensate for wind", was like bullet-time in The Matrix movie.
86 yo from swiss army…….
this is new to you ?
we shoot mountain to mountain
all draftees will qualify
how to git gud in recon class battlefield tutorial
Carlos Hathcock is still the best in my world. Idc about numbers. Your videos are the best. Easy to understand and practical, educational. You and your brothers are the real heroes in this world.
hi tactical rifle man.i am a sniper in AFRICA using a 50 CAL
Thank you for the conformation, I thought that was how it was done but never had an expert say so.
Stay tactical
I thought this dude meant that Students hold the targets next to them down range and move so the snipers can shoot moving targets🤦♂️😂
All of this is really good information.. But,, (there is always a but),,,,,,, What I am looking for is the step by step way to calculate all the variables to dope the scope accurately without a ballistics calculator.. I want to know how to do it the old fashioned way because lets face it,,, anyone who has half a brain and has used technology when the rubber meats the road has always had that technology fail on them… Can anyone point me to a spot where the actual step by step mathematics are taught? And I am not talking about the idiotic 1 moa is 1 inch at 100 yards crap.. Im talking about taking all your known data, doing the math on paper and adjusting your scope appropriately.. I have watched a million videos and for some odd reason no one ever explains the math.. Whether they dont know it and use a machine or dont want that info out there I dont know,, But I believe that if you want to be the best shooter out there, you need all the info.. Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Butts work similar to what we did in the Marine Corps at the rifle range…
I learned this long ago hunting deer on the run here in the south with the use of dogs. Tracking method is the one that puts em on the ground consistently…. Ambush method, you're wasting ammo. Freehand up to 300yrds with a bolt .308.
This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will …
My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit….
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will ….
Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America’s and there is no enemy, but peace!!
