This popular cable TV program covers shooting matches and offers expert information on gun maintenance, precision shooting, and defensive firearms usage. These five videos are worth your time.

Reading the Wind — Sherri Jo Galagher, USAMU Sergeant Sherrijo Gallagher teaches us how to read wind conditions and how to use wind assessment when aiming downrange. Sherri was the first woman to be awarded the U.S. Army Soldier of the Year honors during her time with the USAMU. Sherri is from a legend family of shooters. She was raised by Ace Marksman Middle Tompkins and her mother Nancy Tompkins. She is the first female to win NRA National High Power Championship. 2. Field-Stripping and Cleaning AR Platform Rifles. Let’s face the facts: Black Rifles are dirty. AR-platform rifles have a gas system that blows powder and carbon residues back into the bolt carrier group and action. ARs should be cleaned frequently and quickly. You should also disassemble the bolt carrier to reach any recesses or parts that have accumulated greasy lube or hard carbon. This video will show you how to field-strip AR-platform rifles. This video is worth watching if you have an AR. This video has been viewed over 1.9 million times and is the #1 most watched on Shooting USA’s YouTube Channel. 2. Definition of MOA — Jim Scoutten explains Minute of Angle. The MOA (Mile of Angle) is the most common measurement for group size and rifle accuracy. Many people are unable to give a precise definition of the term “half-MOA” or 1 MOA. MOA is actually an angular measurement which equates to one-sixtieth degree of Arc. John Scoutten, the host, explains MOA in this video. He then shows how MOA can translate to accuracy on target. He then shows how a Les Baer Custom rifle can achieve accuracy of one-half MOA. The rifles come with a guarantee of three shots and half-MOA. 4. Parallax Adjustment: Most precision rifle scopes have a parallax adjustment knob located on the left side. What is “Parallax”? And why is it important to adjust optics to achieve the best parallax setting? John Paul from JP Rifles explains parallax in this Shooting USA video. He also explains why it is important to correctly set parallax for the distance to your target. The video shows how to adjust parallax correctly. This should be done starting with the scope’s optical focus. 5. How to Mount a Riflescope You will also need to adjust the scope’s fore/aft position so that the eye relief is correct. The ideal scope position can be different for shooting from the bench or prone. John Paul from JP Rifles explains how to mount scopes in this Shooting USA video.
