Tactical Rifleman has gotten a number of requests, on how to setup a Sniper Firing Position. Yes, we read your comments. Got a good idea for a video? Ask and you shall receive. So, this week we are going to talk about building a solid (and accurate) sniper firing position.
If you take nothing else away from this video; please remember that Consistency is the Key to Accuracy. You have to have ammo that flies the same speed every time. You have to have a bullet that has a consistent weight and shape every time. Likewise, you have to build a launch platform, that launches that bullet the same every time.
The Sniper has to be as comfortable as possible and have a good “natural point of aim.” Relax on the gun, with your eyes closed. When you open your eyes, you should not see any shadow around the scope. If you do, your head is not centered behind the scope, and you need to adjust your stock and eye relief. If you open your eyes and your cross hairs are not centered on the target, then your natural point of aim is off, and you need to move the gun. Small corrections can be done by just moving the gun. However, major corrections, you may need to move/adjust your whole position.
We are also going to talk about laying in the Spotter. Remember, a Sniper position is a two man team. The Sniper has to be comfortable. Lay the Spotter in so that his Spotter Scope is as close to “gun line” as possible, without bumping the sniper. Also, make sure that the legs of your spotting scope aren’t near the elbow of the sniper. Otherwise, when the gun goes off, his elbow may bump your spotting scope and you won’t see shit. The key to a good Spotter Location is that he has to be able to read “Trace.”
So, lay your Shooter in. Make him get a good position. Then lay in your Spotter around him. Focus on doing it the same way every time. Remember, Consistency is the Key to Accuracy. Thanks for Watching. Strength & Honor, TR.

always looking to improve, thank you for giving a piece of knowledge necessary.
Loading bipod or strap? Can you do video expanding on that?
It looks like a dummy or something because he doesnt move, its weird
Best explanation
Hi
🇺🇸
Who else is here for sniping in Pavlov/onward/contractors
I was looking for a tf2 sniper guide and I found this
What bipod is that ?
I am a French guy going to buy a sniper airsoft. A thing is that I'd like to shoot in a realistic way with this rifle and damn, this video is just perfect. It is full of very useful details. Thank you.
Anyone knows what riffle he used?
Physician setup is crucial
The most important thing is to learn how to breathe,so well to the point where you pull the trigger between heartbeats and I promise u will make your shot,that’s what I was taught
once again an amazing video
What is the brand and model of that shooting mat?
Spot on.
How to position flanker
What if they want to snipe from building ? They have to do it knees right
I've been working on this in my mom's basement
Sniper and Spotter have to be REALLY close, physically and mentally.
You learn a lot about each other!
Has anyone else tried copying the heavy breathing at the intro?
I'm no sniper, but this has helped me bag a lot more coyote. Thanks for this video!
What year did you go through SOTIC?
Karl, nobody teaches shooting as well as you do. Thanks for making things simple and easy to understand and remember.
Guys, please understand,Karl could have given this same class in 1988, he’s wise at it, not old at it,lol !!
Can you do one on setting up a hide?
I am right handed, left eye dominant and for 40 years have shot a right handed bolt gun left handed. Is there any advice or videos you could recommend for long range shooting in this manner?
I like that bipod what make is it?
Hi there, hope you guys don't mind me asking a question because I watch a lot of your videos and really like the way you explain things. Once upon a time I was reading in a SWAT manual that you shouldn't put the bipod ahead of the mat or gunbag, rather ON it because that way it prevents dust and dirt from kicking up into the barrel and such, plus I think it adds to concealment. How do you feel about that ? Is it accurate/impractical etc.. Would like to hear your thoughts on this
How does the spotter keep his head up in a relaxed manner? The shooter can rest it on the stock, but the spotter doesn't have anything
Great video. How to build a sniper hide would be nice. Thanks
Thank you I love sniping and now I have more key points to train on thank you
Christopher Walken as a sniper instuctor, brilliant.
Can you do a video of what the SF/SOF lifestyle is like with/without a family and how to balance the gung ho vs the family life?
A good spotter is worth his or her weight in gold.
