Everything I know about optics and long range shooting, I've learned from him.
I would love to meet him in person. Seems like a solid dude. |

I started watching those a few days ago, that man has pretty much sold me over several videos on selling my current scope which is a bit over magnified for my needs and picking up a uso st-10x.

Yep I watch his and John's (LoneWolfUSMC) youtube channel's. I hope Rex is doing better, I guess he was diagnosed with aggressive cancer a little while ago but ended up beating it.

He said he did serve the military, but learned most of what he knows from his dad and that he had been shooting centerfire rifles since he was 5. He didn't give any more information than that and I didn't ask. |

ETA I'm not trying to say anything bad one way or the other. I don't know the guy. His videos seem to have some good info in them, from what I've seen. Just throwing this out there, it would be like me trying to tell people how to fly a plane because my dad was a pilot, before I went to flight school. I'm strictly speaking of the operational sniper parts, if there are any. I haven't seen yet, but unless you went to school and have done the job it would be hard for me to takes someone's word on the subject that never did the job, whether or not he can shoot long range or not. Shooting is only part of being a sniper. Overall from watching a few, lot's of good shooting info there. I can't believe I've never seen this before, then again, I'm not on you tube a lot. He doesn't really talk about the tactical side of being a sniper. I guess the title of his series of videos is a little confusing/misleading? Good stuff overall. Thanks for sharing. I have to say, he has some good points that I absolutely agree with. He said in one of his videos that ballistic computers are great but they encourage people to not learn the physics of what you're actually doing. You'd be lost not if, when those electronic devices don't work. I'm liking it more and more. Ugh. lol |

I do enjoy watching video's of snipers telling their stories and hearing everything you guys have to share on the subject. I just understand I'm only a target shooter and do not intend to learn "tactics" by reading about it. What I can do is shoot a lot which I do a lot and I mean a lot...lol |

IMHO it would be better named "Long Range Precision 101" or something similar. He goes into WAY more detail on equipment, ballistics, technique, and the like rather than stalking or whatever else cool stuff yall do. 
His videos do get dense at times, but he has never said anything that sounds blatantly wrong to me and my semi-untrained ear. |

The fact that he knows and understands and can plainly explain the physics of it all is of far more value to me. Rather than to listen to a tactical blowhard trained to be a top sniper in the military telling me something because that is what he was told and that is the only way because he don't know any other way.
This guy is smart has done tons of research and understands and practices what he has learned and he can effectively convey it to the viewers. He has a great non condescending manner about him. In reading Bryan Litz' books you will find all of the same information, he doesn't spew bullshit. Has has great character, not saying this or that is junk or talking shit about other methods or bragging about how great he is. |

Yep...I don't care who taught you or where you learned it, but if you can do this on the FIRST shot you have my attention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emJ0RToUYGE I've also watched Bryan Litz's dvd and he is good as well. Some people are better at teaching than others and the best shooter isn't always the best teacher. |

I ran into his fist couple of videos fairly early and have been following ever since. The one that I always go back to is his video on the effects of humidity and molecular mass. I have sent emails to various people I know in the meteorology field but none know much about what they actually do beyond use equipment.

thanks for the info guys, ive just been getting into long range shooting and this seems like some awesome info!
tactical is cool, but id rather have a guy teach me how to shoot realistically rather than someone teaching me bs that they call tactical (i.e. the mag-flip of the shorter range world) |

But seriously, I'm glad to hear people like these videos and find out they're informative and worth the time to watch. I've had them in my play list or watch list or whatever the heck YouTube calls it for months but generally don't spend too much time watching videos on the internet. Now I will

Rex and "THLR" (look him up on youtube) are my staple videos. I have downloaded all of the videos each has made, and keep them on my laptop so I can watch them over and over when I have time to kill.
I also have Litz's DVD set, which is exceptional. I also ordered THLR's DVD, which will be fun watching with subtitles. |

I've been slowly watching these videos in order. It's kind of amazing how much detail he goes into on most things.
A few times it's been a little too much detail, like the barrel profile video. Right now I'm on scope turrets; I'm going to watch all his scope videos and figure out what type of scope would fit my shooting applications. Good stuff! |

In younger non-married days, I bought a Remington 700 police in .308..... Never fired. Starting dating, got married and it has sat in my safe for years. Few days ago I travel to this side to ARFCOM to see where to start with learning. Now I am addicted to his playlist. Even started to watch them on my lunch breaks at work on my phone. At first I thought I just needed to buy a big scope and tons of ammo and start shooting up the country side in hopes to make a shot... I see there is way more to it. So now I am taking my time and learning it the right way and doing way more research. I am still trying to get geared up but I hope to be ready once I have watched all his videos. Buying a scope seems like it is going to be the most painful part.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hats off to him for taking the time to make the series.
I've learned way more that I ever thought was possible about precision shooting from his vids, and I still don't know 1/100th of what he does. |

Here's my personal endorsement:
I had never done any shooting past 200 yards when I was invited to a long-range event (Boomershoot). I'd always been interested in long-range but life happens. With four months to prepare I found and watched all of Rex's videos. Using only his coaching I made some minor mods to my hunting rifle, re-scoped it with a fixed SWFA, selected an appropriate bullet, developed a new load, and collected data at my local 100 yard range. Every step I just did what Rex said. Showed up at Boomershoot with fingers crossed. Day one was steel targets from 400 to 800 yards, and a full 10mph crosswind. I expected to fail miserably. Dialed in for my first 400 yard shot (twice what I'd ever done before) and it was a hit. So was the next and the next. So I tried a 600 yard target and that was a hit. And so on out to 800 yards. No misses although one of the 9" 800yrd plates I just caught on the edge. Day two was exploding targets. The crosswind had dropped to 5mph. My best shot was a box rotated on edge so it presented a 2"x4" target at around 620 yards. That was the shot that made all the work worth it. I'm just an average shooter, but I'm having great success by following Rex's coaching. This wasn't meant as a brag - you guys are all probably better shooters than me, but I'm just saying Rex is legit. I'm just an average Joe and he's been able to reach out through YouTube and put my rounds on target. |

Rex is doing better.
If you have time wish him well on this YouTube video. I have learned much from him.

Just stumbled on this thread, unbelievable the amount of knowledge he has. Probably the simplest, easiest explanation I've ever heard from someone when it comes to making long distance shots. Glad he is ok from the chemo. I have become an instant fan from just watching two videos.

I haven't been able to amass the free time to visually watch all the videos. His verbal explanations are so detailed that I've been listening to the episodes as podcasts on my commute. I'm enough of a science geek to find it fascinating, and his conversational style makes for a good listen. I'll need to go back and revisit a few episodes when (if) my schedule clears up enough to take up shooting as a hobby again.
He actually sounds quite a bit like the comedian Brian Regan in voice character and speech prosody. Glad to hear he's doing better. |

Great series so far. I'm only 30 deep or so, but this guy knows his stuff for sure. Very enlightening.
