Who is this youtube guru?  He's incredibly perceptive, articulate, vast knowledge base, has super long range shooting skills, has his own rock band, and doesn't seem to slow down as he's currently battling cancer.  From what I've seen the guy doesn't go into a lot of his background.  I did an internet search and there were at least a half a dozen different automated paraphrased questions about his background, so clearly he's getting people's attention.  

What does Arfcom know about this guy?  TibosaurusRex

Very long winded, but I enjoyed and learned from his 'Sniper 101' series.  I am very eager to try 800 yard plus shooting.

I don't know his background, but I've been subscribed for a while and I've watched most of his Sniper 101 series. He is VERY knowledgeable and seems to enjoy what he does. Not many shooters know the level of physics that he does that are involved with shooting. I've swapped a few PMs with him where he went into detail on the trig behind some stuff, and his explanations were clear and concise.

I have learned a lot about Long Range Shooting from him.

He was mentioned in a Long Range Shooting Seminar I recently attended as a great source for information.


Good guy but he has been sick.

Very knowledgeable about a wide variety of subjects. Looks like he has served in some capacity for sure. Subbed to his channel for quite some time.

I've never found anything stating he served, but he makes subtle references that may suggest it and he certainly understands the military.  Seems like he wants everyone to think he's a sharp shooting spiritual hippy and that is it.  I'm not even sure the guy is 30 yet.....but I find his stuff very informative.

there's an ongoing thread on him in the Precision Rifle forum.  very interesting guy for sure.  of well above average intelligence, & understands the subject so thoroughly as to make the teaching of it seem easy.  a human being w/ a rare confluence of gifts/skill sets.  would be nice to have 10 of him on Youtube, & 10,000,000 of him in the population.

He has some very interesting and informative videos.  I found it strange, though, that during his scope mounting video, he went through all of this methodology about mounting the base, rings and scope.  When it came time to level the scope he though eyeballing it was the most precise method.

In one of his videos there are some photos of him on a table. It's the only thing I have seen so far.

Apparently he did serve, but that's all I've seen him admit to.  He credits his dad for his shooting abilities.

I just found his music......he's very well gifted there too.

I like how for extreme long range he narrows it down to 7 RM and 50 BMG.  I had a argument here with someone who claimed 300 WM


was better.  Silly, not even at 500 yds is it better.

Hes got some good knowledge, but not when it comes to the origins of scope glass.
His scope video is
All glass "comes from china" and the "scope makers sift through huge piles of glass looking for the best"
