If you already lack motivation at the very beginning, quickly you will likely start cutting corners, skip over unknowingly vital information and start looking for shortcuts.
The four stages of learning:
1. Subconscious incompetence
2. Conscious incompetence
3. Conscious competence
4. Subconscious competence.
It takes almost no time to become aware that you are not good and know nothing to very little about a new skill... It takes time, dedication and GOOD practice with accountability to begin pushing skills and knowledge over to your conscious competence area and then finally, eventually things will begin sliding into the subconscious competence skill set area allowing you to perform a task without much additional effort.
EXAMPLE: Driving manual transmission car.
Initially as a child you had no idea about what was going on, what it all meant... Eventually you were coached through by a parent, instructor or friend on what each component meant and how it performed.
Eventually, you began tying these skills together but had to pay a lot of conscious attention to your feet, hands, listening to the engine, feeling the vehicle, watching the tacho etc... But you COULD drive.
Finally, after months / years / many hours of driving, it became second nature, you were driving without thinking about your feet, you were changing gears without really paying any attention other than making sure you were going in the right direction.... You had committed the skill of driving a manual transmission car over into your subconscious.
(Glorious meme by Collin Fossen)
Now what?
Your training, dry fire, movement, equipment setup, load data etc... Should be used in a way that they reflect whatever makes up YOUR reality (hunting / work / defence / competition / etc.). Your training should initially be slow, deliberate, analytical and compartmentalised, breaking simple skills down into a layered approach.
For hunters, the skill of removing a slung rifle from your shoulder safely, taking up a sight picture, running the bolt, ensuring the safety is on or off, DOPE / parallax / windage etc. are relevant to the situation and releasing a shot under control. These are all critically important micro skills that when strung together, should hopefully amount to a successful shot being released and your target going down.
You could work through this basic scenario a handful of times, beginning slowly at first, filming it on your phone for later critiquing, working through the intricacies of this seemingly simple yet also fairly complex task.
Simply ripping the rifle off your shoulder, throwing the scope up into your eye and cracking a round off is not the objective here. We are looking for smooth movement, with purpose. We are looking for control, deliberate action, safety and accountability.
Review the footage often, more so to identify where you could save time by increasing efficiency of movement or altering your equipment setup.
Another example would be removing your pack, laying prone behind it, taking a sight picture, running the bolt and releasing a shot in a controlled, calm, composed manner.
Once you have developed a rhythm and are feeling comfortable, you can begin working on timings, going through the process again and then adding other skills before or after such as moving into a position etc.
The negative power of your EGO:
This is an important time to discuss the effects of a poor attitude towards learning. Everyone has an attitude, some people are an absolute expert in their own mind and will tell you all about it... Some people are the pinnacle, Jedi master, steak eating, Viking, Gunfighters... Right up until they are put under pressure, observed / assessed or critiqued externally... The whole thing can come crashing down.
In order to be a good student and effective learner, you have to drop your guard, understand that you are allowed to struggle, you are allowed to suck... For a while.
You will observe a small percentage of students roll in, carry on, macho this, expert that... As soon as they are under any form of pressure or are struggling to pick up a skill, they often begin to close down and either get snappy or embarrassed - in an attempt to deflect attention away from themselves as an act of self preservation while they figure out what to do next.
These people roll in at the absolute 'peak of mount stupid', quickly realising that things aren't going so well, where they are abruptly thrown into the 'valley of despair' at which point they have a fairly simple choice:
1) The wise decision is to accept that YES, this IS a new skill and YES, you are allowed to struggle as a student in a training environment. You must open your ears / mind / eyes, ask questions, fight to understand, seek out this new information, take notes and turn it into a meaningful session.
OR
2) The poor decision is to blame others, look for an 'out' and get snappy, it's 'someone else's fault'... The trainer, the venue, the skills are flawed etc... There are always a lot of excuses ready to go. This will only lead to what may feel like a quick 'win' but likely end in a long trough of regret and denial down the track (depending on how much they cared initially). Either way, it was a massive waste of time and likely affected other students in the process.
Once you have made the sensible and positive choice that you DO want to learn, DO want to improve and DO want to get through these new challenges, you will quickly begin climbing the 'slope of enlightenment', pushing new boundaries, getting comfortable flexing some fancy new skills and figuring things out...
Post course, as you continue to grow and develop these skills, if done correctly and consistently, you will begin to push them into your subconscious competence and with a bit of continuation training, you'll be sitting nicely up on the 'plateau of sustainability'. Up here, your skills should be pretty much 'on tap', ready to go, from a cold start, at a moments notice, regardless of season, weather or terrain. (Ideally anyway!) but you cannot get complacent as things will quickly slip away if not maintained, like chin-ups!
Be creative...
The world is your oyster, your limits are in a lot of ways set by your imagination (and local state & federal laws of course!). Write down a short list of skills you KNOW are lacking, begin working through them first... By training these initially, you will likely identify other areas that could be tweaked slightly to make them more efficient and you're off!
These principals are extremely watered down, there is a lot to the psychology of learning, the importance of 'adult learning' techniques, communication methods, equipment and venue use etc...
Professional training is of course layered, tiered and complexity based off the individual & group skills & abilities, controlled by overall safety, instructor / student ratios, learning objectives, training outcomes, cost etc.
Final point:
EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT... NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT YOU.
YOU WILL NOT IMPROVE IF YOU DO NOT PUT IN TIME, EFFORT OR REMAIN ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR OWN DEVELOPMENT.
Get after it, even 10 minutes of focused training (EVEN SIMPLY VISUALIZING A SKILL) every few days is far better than doing nothing at all.
If you are seeking to further develop your skills in the world of precision rifle shooting, there are many reputable training providers that are more than willing to set you on the path of enlightenment... Do your research about the instructors and courses beforehand, make sure you are comfortable with what they are teaching and that it fits in with your goals.
With GOOD training, you could save THOUSANDS of dollars of wasted ammo / fuel / equipment etc. and thousands of hours of messing around doing strange, random things behind a rifle!

]]>Here are two printable targets that might help you on your quest for practical long range precision.
Click the links below, save as .PDF, open, adjust printer settings to 'scale'.
This is intended to be used as a 100 meter 'Optimal Charge Weight' hand loading development sheet. In the bottom right corner is a Cold Bore / Zero confirmation area and then 4 individual target areas above for firing your varying groups as required, recording ammunition reloading data and other relevant info as you go. Grid squares are 1cm x 1cm when printed TO SCALE on A4 paper (not 'to fit').
Note: "Chrono Y N" refers to whether or not you had a barrel mounted chronograph fitted that may influence a POI / POA shift.

The second sheet is a generic 'long range' grouping sheet, for whatever distance you feel necessary. With the same 1cm x 1cm square format and space to record a heap of information at the bottom to store in your log book.
Again, to ensure the sizes are accurate, print 'ACTUAL SIZE' on A4 paper.

Our second installment from the LVG Training Wing. This time focusing on working with tripods. Deployment, carriage, interfacing the rifle and the tripod by way of support cradle / clamp / arca / bag ontop of platform etc.
Click HERE to download the 'LVG Tripod Deployment Drill' sheet.
This drill sheet is designed for you to work at your 'comfortable' but 'successful' speed, you are allowed to make mistakes. Each course of fire is conducted three times for time (no par time on this one), allowing you the opportunity to push your limits a bit or go as slow as you like to ensure you do a GOOD job.
The key when using a tripod is to let the structure of the tripod do as much work as possible, with you managing the system from a distance where possible... This needs to be a conscious decision, to control the rifle by loading the system with a sling and isometric tension or to try and avoid being too involved and letting the structure do the work for you, a bit like 'free recoiling' off a barricade. Each has it's own benefits and drawbacks.
Be critical of yourself, anytime behind a tripod.. Don't look for excuses, look for reasons.
We will go into this further down the track. Above all else.... EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT!

Meaningful training and relevant practice is a critical part of progression in any skill set. In this sector of the project, we aim to improve shooter skills by putting out a few DIY documents and information that will guide shooters of all levels through a series of self driven capability 'assessments'.
It is important to appreciate that this is not a competition however at a club or work level may be used as a tool to help promote a bit of banter and growth across the group.
Accountability, realistic expectations, safety, consistency, efficiency etc. are all key words and phrases that should be at the fore front of your mind every time you get behind a trigger...
The first drill is the LVG '20 Round Hunter Dot Drill':
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE PDF FILE FOR PRINTING!
This is a 5 set course of fire skill assessment to highlight the importance of working with comfortable and practical equipment in the hills.
This page is designed primarily for centrefire rifles at 100 meters however this can easily be adapted for rimfire rifles at 25 or 50 meters if that is what you are limited to or want to spice things up.
Page size ideally will be set to A4 however, again this can be printed on A3 to begin with and then progress down to A4 in order to increase difficulty by reducing target size.
Range 100 meters for center fire rifles, 1 box of ammo (20 rounds), whatever day pack you would carry whilst hunting, whatever rear bag and rifle you would carry whilst hunting (or any other equipment you like, of course).
HOW:
1: Print this off, staple or tape the page to a backer in all corners. Ideally, take a photo on your phone or have a 2nd print off handy to guide your shoot from the firing position.
2: Establish your correct range then confirm rifle zero in the top right corner with 2 rounds, make adjustments as required and repeat if needed (this will require additional rounds obviously).
3: Work through series A to E, completing each course of fire sequentially. DO NOT FIRE MORE THAN THE NUMBER OF ROUNDS PRESCRIBED on the document. Shoot to move, not hit to move... If you miss, don't stress, record it and move on. Key point: You are allowed to struggle, or be a Jedi. Use the stop watch on your phone or watch as a timer (or just use the times as a guide only). If alone, set your phone onto stop watch, press start then begin at the 10 second mark or a time of your choosing, this will give you time to stand back up and prepare etc.
4. Timings are a GUIDE ONLY, to keep some pressure on and ideally enforce good habits being rehearsed efficiently... Do not rush if you are still new, learning what to do and how to do it... Your priority should be HITS, not speed at this point. As you develop, speed and hits will blend together.
5. Once completed, fill out the information on the bottom of the page. Date, rifle and ammo, Score, excuses and D/A... As a reference for later, to look back on.
6. Take a photo, throw it up on IG / FB and tag us, keep the hard copy in a folder with your loading data or safe so we can build on your skills and come back to it down the track to re-assess progress.
(This glorious display of marksmanship was from Team AI 'Butters' with his Vudoo 22LR at 50m.)
Lastly, take pride in what you're doing... Don't cut corners. Go at this cold, don't have a warm up, 20 rounds then jump into it... You want to have these skills on demand, cold, with no warm up, no rehearsals etc... In the field, you don't get any of that.
If you have any questions or want to tell us your score and timings, let us know - get in touch!

We get asked a lot, "What do you use?" and "What do I need?" (to compete in a match).
Depending who you speak to, that can be a dangerous question. This is a seemingly simple question, but it's not easy to help someone on their quest for efficiency!
Longer answer: All you really NEED is a capable rifle with a detachable 10 round magazine, spare 10 round mag, consistent ammunition, good ear plugs / muffs, a reasonable sized day pack (20-35L), 2L water, snacks, pen and paper, bipod, one general purpose rear bag and that's really about it to get involved.
You can absolutely get by with a minimalist loadout, however what you will find quickly is that you are fairly limited in terms of options when shooting off barricades, over / under awkward shaped items etc.
You need to ask yourself "Why am I doing this?"
1. Get better at dealing with really awkward, positional shooting?
2. Chasing trophies for the #Gram?
3. To hang out with a tonne of like minded people and get some really good shooting done?
At the end of the day, the only person that matters is you, no one else really cares how well you shoot or how much you struggled. This is a very personal battle between you and your equipment, fighting the environment for individual reasons or glory... It is not a team sport, but you get out what you put in which is very humbling for a lot of people. Bottom line is be happy with what you're doing or make some changes.
What do I use? I'll throw a photo up and go through it quickly. This is my gear as used at the last PRS Australia match in Mildura. Don't use my kit as a bible by any means, it's just a pile of stuff that I have sifted through and refined to this point. I have built this setup up over 10+ years of constant frustration and personal challenges. It all started off as a completely out of the box Remington 700 Police with a HS Precision stock and a SFP Leupold MK4. Nothing happens quickly, stick with it and you'll figure out what's important to you.

]]>You can now select to purchase a steel HK style 1" snap hook that will clamp directly onto any HK hook compatible stock (check yours first before ordering, if you have traditional sling swivel studs or QD slots this will not work in that fashion) or it may be able to clamp onto your existing SLING hardware (more applicable for sling swivel stud shooters).
We have also added the option to have the webbing hand strap removed and in place a Velcro double sided strap that will allow you to quickly wrap the MK6 around the scope / stock area and get down to shooting. Much lighter than a lot of the barricade bags, coming in at approximately 250 grams.

We are proud to announce that Low Vis Gear is now the Australian distributor for 'Warhorse Development LLC' out of Montana, United States.
Warhorse Development is run in a similar format to LVG where the husband / wife team churn out outstanding, high quality nylon equipment for Precision Rifle Series style shooting and all kinds of other practical field firing which is right up our alley and passionate about. We are really proud to be working alongside each other and look forward to bringing you Aussie shooters more of the finest gear available!
We have initial orders already in manufacture of the 'Comanche Field Bag' (click the links to have a look!) and the smaller, 3D rectangle 'TAFFY Field Bag' that will get things moving along nicely.
These will be offered in the ever glorious A-Tacs IX pattern of course and Coyote Brown to keep everyone happy.
]]>
Modeled off the highly popular Waxed Canvas Pint Sized Game Changer that has recently been employed with excellent results by ALL TOP 3 Australian PRS shooters in the season Finale... The LVG Spec Pint Sized Game Changer has been lightened, tweaked and refined for more practical, field type firing and hunting.
Weight has been cut by more than 50%, traction has been increased with the use of non-adhesive grip fabric both in the wedge and across the top to enhance stability on those pesky metal pipe and tube barricades.
We believe this is truly an item that is worthy of any serious shooters mountain bag.. Equally at home in competition as it is in the hills conducting Defence / Law Enforcement operations and or hunting.
The LVG Spec Game Changer is also extremely capable as a rear bag, when flipped upside down the wedge supports evenly both sides of the stock, mechanically clamping it in place limiting side to side movement! Our 300 Win Mag actually fired it's all time best group with a GC in this configuration.
Another option is to lay it on an edge and use the grippy surface as a ramp leading up to your shoulder for enhanced elevation adjustment... Possibilities are endless with the GC.
Above you can get a better appreciation of the FULL SIZE original Armageddon Gear spec Game Changer (2.2kg approx) compared to the smaller PINT SIZED (LVG Spec) Game Changer in 500 Denier Nylon that weighs 1.2kg approx.... Similar shape, much smaller size, similar practicality.
Features:
- Grippy fabric across the top and in the wedge for ENHANCED grip and stability.
- Single 1" webbing handle to keep weight down and utility up.
- 1,100 grams of our LVG poly pellet fill for excellent pliability and weight distribution.
- Exclusively available at LVG in the ever glorious A-TACS IX 500 Denier Cordura Nylon.
If you have any questions, please just ask.. We really appreciate the support and can't wait to get these moving across Australia and the world.
Thanks,
J
]]>Quick answer: UR-Tactical / OPS Gear https://www.ur-tactical.com/
Longer answer: With a bit of a background in the ADF infantry, I appreciate tough clothing with practical pockets and good patterns, relevant to the area. For the last 2 years nearly, I have been using nearly exclusively clothing from UR-Tactical / OPS Gear. Their head office is in Hong Kong, they manufacture great clothing and a mountain of relevant gear with USA imported fabrics.
BOONIE: Very big on bush hats... The "OPS TACTICAL BOONIE HAT" (click link in the title) is extremely comfortable, very well made and is a generally aesthetically pleasing, practical hat with a good width brim that is rigid enough to keep some form of shape but does not interfere with optics. This is probably my all time favorite bush hat, no joke. They make a TONNE of different colours so you can get just about anything you're after. Overall, excellent hat.
SHIRT: The 'combat' style shirt with sleeves. "OPS GEN 2 Improved Direct Action shirt" (click link in the title). This shirt is very comfortable, especially in warm weather. The colour matched chest torso area is soft to the tough and breathes pretty well, good length front zip and reinforced elbows. I don't use forearm pockets ever and don't really use the bicep pockets either but they are there. Interfaces perfectly with a pack on, the T shirt type fabric is great, extremely happy with their choice. Good length sleeves, provide good hand coverage and a comfortable collar that doesn't bunch up. Overall, the shirt is very good. The pockets in the forearms could go (for me personally) but the shirt is excellent.
PANTS: "O.P.S/UR-TACTICAL STEALTH WARRIOR PANTS" (click link in the title). These pants are non-external knee pad style bush pants. They have a tonne of pockets and are a good comfortable fit. Have given them a hammering over the last couple of years, the fabric has held up exceptionally well and has not faded. The thigh pockets have a zippered sleeve pocket behind the separate Velcro flap pocket, this adds some extra bulk but there is a lot of functionality there especially if noise is an issue (work or hunting etc.). Elasticized waist provides additional comfort. Overall, the pants are very good. The zippered thigh pockets add a lot of extra bulk but do serve a purpose, also I NEVER use rear seat pockets but that's just another personal thing... No big deal, very good pants.
We recently received a button up field type shirt (OPS Integrated Battle Shirt 2.0), 'combat' knee pad style pants (O.P.S Advanced Fast Response Pants), wind jacket / pants (O.P.S LIGHTWEIGHT TACTICAL WIND JACKET) and pack cover from the good people at UR Tactical, looking forward to getting them out into the hills ASAP.
It may have become apparent that we are a brand partner with A-TACS camo and therefore try to run true with our selection of field gear... The Intermediate eXtreme camo pattern above is outstanding in this region. However, their new AU-X and FG-X are now coming online with some excellent gear offerings!!! Worth keeping an eye on!
When we hit the hills with the new gear, we will get back to you....
]]>Building a consistent pre-shot routine is critical in order to be able to expect results from your work.
If you always do things differently, you're setting things up to fail.
Be safe, be methodical, minimise extra crud.
When beginning, make a list, write things down that work and are important. Once you have a fair idea what you want... Make that check list a memory.
Things I work through looks something like:
- Check magazine is seated correctly
- Chamber a round, apply safety, press check to ensure the rifle picked one up.
- Check elevation dope, check parallax for range, check scope level.
- Assess the wind, check sling tension, check and adjust leg position for correct height behind rifle.
- Isolate trigger finger, set safety to fire, check wind and apply relevant wind hold.
- Finger on trigger, check and adjust wind hold, fire the round, solid follow through, watch impact....
- Consolidate, learn from your impact, apply changes as required and go from there.
Get out there, use your kit, test and adjust systems. Be more efficient.
]]>The goal of a tripod is to elevate the rifle off the ground to shoot over or through obstacles... Otherwise you'd of course just shoot from prone.
The problem with being off the ground is muscular and skeletal issues become more apparent. Instability brought into the system has to be managed carefully while accepting that you have a constant, unavoidable 'wiggle space' (call it whatever you like)... We are not machines with hydraulics, we can't sit still for very long.
Key tips for shooting off a tripod while kneeling:
- Get as low to the ground as possible.
- Avoid squatting, your thighs can only do so much work before fatiguing.
- Avoid bone on bone contact (elbow to knee cap).
- Build your position with a pack, Armageddon Gear Fat Bag (check out website) or other bulky item that you can snug up under your weapon side shoulder or sit on to fill a hole.
- With a tripod, extend the THICKEST legs first, they are stronger and flex less.
- I try to stay square behind the rifle if possible to help with recoil, much like barricade shooting I'll try to be square behind it as opposed to blading off.
- Point the FORWARD single leg TOWARDS THE TARGET, in line with the muzzle, this will help recoil spread out rearwards onto both legs (square with your shoulders) that will rock the system back before falling forwards back to where it started (critical)
- Try to balance the rifle in the cradle I suggest, so the rifle is being supported mostly by the tripod, minimising your physical effort.
- Try to create at least some isometric tension, pushing and pulling on the rifle / tripod to stiffen the system up.
- Relax, work within your wriggle space.... Accept it and move on.
- Focus on the trigger, while watching the reticle.
- Be consistent when you figure out what works best for you.
This image is of one of the TeamLVG shooters with a 338LM, 650ish meter IPSC in 10-15kph winds. The 300gr SMK hits like a TRAIN at that range.
Look at his hands: Pushing and pulling, fat bag under the arm, nice and low, tripod legs in line with muzzle... Solid.
Piece of cake!..... None of this is hard, just complicated!
Tripod shooting is a good skill to possess, it will make you a better marksman overall.
* The tripod cradle is from Shadow Tech - "Hog Saddle" also from our mates at Huntsman Aus (available by clicking here):
Tripods are expensive, mechanical cradles are expensive... But you get what you pay for, if you go for a cheap, second hand camera tripod off an online auction, don't expect it to handle recoil well, don't expect it to support a heavy field rifle well, expect things to bend, flex and eventually snap, expect cheap ball heads to flop down and be ultra slack, making everything HARD.... Treat a tripod, like you would an optic, do it once properly if you can afford it.
Let me know how you go. Post your thoughts below! We are all on a journey for knowledge.
Try to keep your shoulders, hips and knees in straight lines, PERPENDICULAR (at 90 degrees) to the center of muzzle in order to assist with recoil management. With your body square, the recoil impulse should push directly and evenly towards your supporting body mass then return to where it was or not far from it...
If your hips and or legs were off-line or your entire body was off center, the muzzle would most likely jump off target during recoil... This will only slow down your follow up shots and make spotting and calling your own impacts difficult.
Ideally the muzzle line will run down the inside of your weapon side knee... Once you are in what you think is a good position, have a mate to take a quick photo from above so you can assess your position and go from there.
Prone basic 1:
Laying prone is the most stable way to fire a rifle in a field oriented setting, by laying flat on the ground behind the rifle, with the system supported by a bipod / bag / terrain and the rifle hopefully aiming naturally towards the target.
Key points:
- Relax your legs and splay them apart.
- Try to get your shoes resting flat on the ground if possible.
- Avoid having your heels hovering off the ground to minimise unnecessary movement and recoil flop.
- Try to have as little amount of physical input into the rifle system as possible in terms of supporting, controlling or 'muscling' things around.
- Use a rear bag to support the butt stock, rest it in the pocket of your shoulder comfortably.
- Avoid putting your fingers or hand underneath the rifle if possible, you want it sitting on a bag, sitting on the ground with the weight transferring seamlessly to avoid unnecessary movement.
- Manage your eye relief, try to have a comfortable scope height and distance from eye to optic so you don't have your neck jammed back or stretched forward too far.
There is more to this... We will cover other areas down the track.
Get out there, find out what works for you.
The key is to be consistent when you find what works best for your body style.
]]>The Proof barrels come in a nice brown and black cardboard box with foam chocks to keep things secure, along with a sticker, warranty book and instructions.
The palma style, heavyweight, steel 26" 260 Remington barrel that's been excellent but heavy and unbalanced came out of the action quickly with the 4mm hex allen key. Quick clean out of the threads before the new Proof 6.5CM barrel thread in by hand. Use a 22mm flat spanner to snug the new barrel up against the action followed by applying 49 inch pounds of torque on the quick lock barrel nut to secure it ready for firing.
Barrel weight stats:
Being that the Proof barrels run a 5/8-24 thread as opposed to the AI's M18 style metric thread pattern, the factory AI brakes are not compatible. Got onto the lads who supplied one of the new, self timing Area 419 'Sidewinder' 30Cal muzzle brakes. This thing is a precision piece of engineering, the adapter threads on, snugged down by a 13/16 ring spanner with blue loc-tite then the actual brake itself slips over the top, level it out and hand tighten the locking collar.
Running the barrel in, was done at 100yds, normally meters, just ended up parking the truck there and that was it... No big deal.
First up, clean out any factory preservation grease, fire 3 rounds (approx 0.7" group) landed 1 Mil left & 0.5 Mil high from the 260REM barrel which is pretty solid... Clean it out, fire 3 rounds (approx 0.7"), 5 rounds (approx (0.8"), clean then it's ready to go... Shooting factory loaded, Hornady 140gr ELD-M ammo at "2710" fps (to be confirmed with MagnetoSpeed chronograph next trip).
This 24" carbon barrel cut off 1.2 KILOGRAMS nearly from the 26" 260REM... Excellent!
Looking forward to spending some serious time behind this rifle with the new barrel, the AI AT is an excellent system... These components do nothing but improve what was already and outstanding rifle!
If you are chasing gear from a Melbourne based company who are heavily involved in the Precision Rifle Series, get in touch with these lads. They do a LOT for the community and are extremely approachable - good people.
]]>MOLLE compatible, shingle style mag pouch for AICS / Alpha style 10 round magazines. CAN be made to work with AW magazines however a padded foam spacer will need to be put in the bottom of the pouch to have it stick out far enough to be easily accessible.
These pouches are high quality, made in the USA and have two short length MALICE clips to securely attach them to any MOLLE surface. 2 columns wide.
Available now in Multicam and Coyote Brown.
They can be stacked, one on top of the other if required.

The DUS is a convenient, lightweight support solution for field firing. It attaches around almost any sling that has webbing/leather between 1" and 1.5" wide. Built from Cordura that is bonded to the backing, and then laser cut to the correct shape. This means there is no stitching or seams to wear out or break. DUS combines the idea of a sling/rear bag, and the super stiff webbing sections at the back of slings. Because its adjustable for stiffness, you can custom fit it to your needs.
You can attach it to the sling and secure it to the sling hardware if you like. Even if you don't have a bottom mount sling on your stock, you can still attach the DUS to a stud with just a swivel if you like, no sling needed.
Features:
-Weight: ONLY 45 grams approx (1.5oz)
-Length: 16.5cm (6.5")
-Adjustable stiffness with removable Velcro inserts
-Stationary or movable on the sling once installed
Easy to install/remove, ultra light, variable stiffness, in-expensive.
The Triad Down Under Support is a proprietary product of Triad Tactical, manufactured in the USA.

Lightweight, Compact, Protective, Affordable and Reinforced... These were some of the key points we wanted to address with this project.
Having been a hunter and conservationist all my life, we have a solid appreciation of being wet and covered in mud whilst in the hills and in training.
We know first hand how these conditions adversely impact your weapons ability to function.
Features:
* BEST SUITED TO longer barreled mountain style hunting rifles with 24-27” barrels! *
The demo rifle in the Coyote cover is our Browning Hells Canyon Long Range with 26" barrel + muzzle brake, total overall length approximately 49".
The Multicam cover has our CZ455 22LR with 20" barrel fitted in a Manners T4 style stock as a size reference. The cover fits perfectly over the body of the rifle however the barrel end is bunched up which is not an issue however aesthetically not ideal... Depends how sensitive you are, can be secured with a rubber band if it's really a problem.
Manufacturer: Triad Tactical, Kansas, USA.
Purpose: Protective layer for the front stock area of your rifle stock or chassis to act as a buffer between hard objects.
Uses:
1. Competition: In some instances, barricade holes are too small for a rear bag or GameChanger, the RFW negates the requirement for a protective medium.
2. Field Firing: Shooting off walls, obstacles and solid objects, minimise additional equipment and time required to set up for a hasty shot. Will interface with a tripod cradle or Hog Saddle without issue.
3. Hunting: Works well shooting off logs and fence posts.
Materials: The RFW is made of a rubberized material that is bonded to the soft/loop side of Velcro. They can be mounted using the strips of sticky backed Velcro (provided) or with the shoelace option(the small size is Velcro only, no shoelace option). The materials are bonded together, not sewn. After bonding they are Laser cut to size and lacing holes cut out. This gives them a clean, low-profile presentation. If you have a traditional wood or fiberglass stock, where the barrel is exposed, we suggest using the sticky strips on these stocks. Once the stock is clean and they are applied, the RFW can easily be placed. A new feature is that the RFW can now be trimmed by the user. We have used a X-Acto and sharp box knife to trim the RFW, making cut-outs for bipod studs, pic rail etc.
Size: 6.5" long x 4.5" wide.
Each RFW includes:
- Rifle Forend Wrap panel
- Shock cord that you can cut to length
- Two Cord Locks for the cord
- Appropriate sticky back Velcro
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT FIT ON YOUR STOCKS, MAKE A PAPER TEMPLATE BASED ON THE SIZE ABOVE.
CUT IT OUT AND PUT IT AROUND YOUR STOCK AND SEE WHAT YOU LIKE THE BEST.
These items are not fire resistant, so please be careful with semi/full auto rates of fire.
The Triad Rifle Forend Wrap is a proprietary product of Triad Tactical, manufactured in the USA.
Added:
- Internal lid battery pouch, pull tab for easier access.
- Internal Velcro panels front and rear.
- Padded Velcro-in dividing wall to keep both your Kestrel & LRF (size dependent) together.
Removed:
- Eyelet, allowing dust and moisture in the pouch.
Originally designed to hold and protect the Swarovski Laser Guide LRF and similar sized LRF units. 5mm foam lining and single layer flexible plastic sheet provide protection and rigidity. Silent pouch opening with the single captive tuck buckle and adjustable lid allows the pouch to be accessed with one hand.
This is the BRAND NEW updated LRF Pouch that features an adjustable, removable padded divider allowing you to securely hold smaller modern Laser Range Finders alongside other items like Kestrel Meters.
The LRF pouch now also features a small compartment in the top lid for batteries.

I am a bit biased, because we obviously make our own gear... Everything from the previous life is either in a box or has been sold / given to people along the way to help them along and get involved.
My priorities are:
1. It must be FUNCTIONAL and practical.
2. It must be LIGHT enough to carry a long way / all day with other gear.
3. It must FILL A ROLE that cannot adequately be completed by another piece of gear already selected.
We generally carry a fair amount of kit around but try to abide by the above guidelines. Try to keep things fairly simple... If you NEED something then it comes, if it's a nice to have and you'll use it reasonably often then you may as well bring it, if it's a gimmick item that doesn't really fit into what you are trying to achieve then keep it in the car or leave it at home.
Why do we wear camo in our photos? Not in the Army anymore... It's because the LowVisMrs gets snarky at me for constantly ruining my 'nice' clothes! I hunt as often as possible so train and practice how you roll in the hills.
We are also a brand partner for A-Tacs camouflage in the USA, we are constantly working to raise awareness of these outstanding patterns that work better than anything else in our region. Go and suss them out! We have managed to get Armageddon Gear and Precision Rifle Solutions to make their gear exclusively for LVG in the amazing A-Tacs Intermediate Extreme (above) pattern, you can't get this gear ANYWHERE else in the world... Which is solid.
Before we kick off, I am well aware that different shooters have different needs, different people have different backgrounds, that everyone has an opinion and everyone is an expert in their own eyes... This is NOT the list of all lists, the kit guide or is it trying to fill a hole in internet knowledge. If it helps a new shooter find some direction then that's great.
Other companies make some absolutely outstanding gear, some stuff I use we don't sell because we don't copy people, we don't hide things and it's not awkward for me to have something that another company made. I guess I do feel some pressure to use and spread the word on gear we use and import explicitly of course however I will try to not be biased, close minded or one sided.
Low Vis Gear is a small gear workshop, time is hard to come by and we don't have unlimited funds or we'd be running the best of everything kit wise... Maybe one day we'll be able to justify spending $6,000+ on a spotting scope! That would be nice... The Swaro twin eye optics are glorious!
Less talk, more gear.
General Shooting Gear:
When shooting from a bench, prone or in the hills I usually have my Low Vis Gear MK3 CAN BAG (image above). MK3 weighs 660 grams and is about the same size as a large can of tinned food. It is pliable enough to provide confident elevation correction while being solid enough to not flop over under the stock. Lay it flat to keep a fairly low profile or stand it on an end to raise the butt stock right up. It works well under the fore-end of a stock on a log or rock also... Very versatile. We make a heap of other Rear Bags that are excellent in their own ways, the MK1 rectangle does almost everything well. The MK2 (Square) is similar. The MK5 Dim Sim is perfect for the weight conscious hunter. The MK6 XRay attaches to the rifle for comp work.
For field firing, if we are walking into the hills to set up for a while I carry and use the Low Vis Gear - Shooting Mat (image above). They are LIGHT, SMALL and PRACTICAL, you won't find a more compact shooting mat on the market. Padded elbow area helps provide some basic comfort on hard surfaces. If you want to get out of the dirt then this is it.
If we aren't rucking everything in and space / weight isn't an issue I use the Triad Tactical - Padded Shooting Mat (image below) as it is a large, padded, extremely comfortable mat from my mate in the USA. It doesn't weigh much but takes up a reasonable amount of pack space.
We also recently brought in the first batch of Armageddon Gear Ultralight Shooting Mats that are an IN BETWEEN compromise with both padding and a practical sleek profile to minimise bulk.
Precision Rifle Series SSP1 rifle cradle, I use the SSP1 on the light weight Slik Sprint mini tripod for hunting with my 300 win mag in the hills. The PRS cradles are excellent in how they act as a third hand and help you really build a good solid position quickly with no fuss. Hunting, when time is an issue, spotting an animal, dropping your pack, pulling the tripod out, splaying the legs, sitting down behind it and you're done... Set the tripod up at a reasonable sitting height and you have a readily accessible, fluid platform to shoot off. Don't think that you NEED a clamp tripod head to shoot well, with poor fundamentals ANY tripod will attack your accuracy! Without exaggerating, every single hunt and field shoot I've been on since I purchased this mini Slik and SSP1 tripod back in maybe 2010, it has been in my pack... Critical gear, excellent for spotting scope, LRF and bino work also.
For PRS and comps, I use the heavier, screw clamp Hog Saddle (image above) rest with the AI as it helps to manage recoil for multiple target, rapid movement and follow up shots. This is in conjunction with a heavier tripod that I can stand behind and load up. The clamp tripod cradles are good for leaving the rifle in position and for really building a solid platform with a sling.
Alternatively, clamp the rifle DIRECTLY to the tripod with the Arca-Swiss rail system. The Night Goggles Inc tripods we have brought in come with an Arca-Swiss compatible ball head that interfaces with the Really Right Stuff rail on the AT as seen below. This is another excellent way of getting things to work together.
Admin & Storage Gear:
Low Vis Gear - Zip Sack Large G4. Stores my SORD Ammo Wallet with spare rounds, Kestrel Weather Meter in the Armageddon Gear - Kestrel Pouch (critical piece of kit!) and Sig Kilo 2200MR LRF along with a simple Data Book, spare ear plugs and batteries for both tools. I keep it in the top of my day pack as a 'Shoot Kit'.
Protective Equipment:
Triad Tactical - Spotting Scope Cover for the Bushnell T Series Legend 15-45x with Mil Hash Reticle. Excellent optic for the price. This spotting scope cover is a work of art, nothing else even comes close to the quality of this cover!
Another critical piece of equipment is the Armageddon Gear - Kestrel Pouch, this is like a sunglasses box on steroids. Protect your $1000+ investment when it's in your pack!
Competition Specific Gear:
The Armageddon Gear Game Changer, (pictured above is the OG Game Changer, slightly heavier, slightly bigger, no top straps - another EXCELLENT piece of kit) is really at the top of the pile when it comes to barricade shooting rests. They're NOT CHEAP however you get what you pay for and these are the one to go for. Removable straps let you attach the bag to the rifle so when you move, it follows. These can be removed of course for a cleaner platform which is what I've done when getting into small barricade holes.
Paired with that, the Armageddon Gear - Fat Bag (Large) and (Medium) size bags to help build a more solid shooting platform by supporting an elbow on a knee or filling a hole between you and an object. These are absolutely worth their weight in gold when doing awkward positional shooting.
Armageddon Gear - Competition Data Armband. Helps control your DOPE for the next stage... Comes with two white boards that velcro off for quick change, cleaning wipes and a couple of pens. Excellent stuff.
Various Other Equipment: My completely unbiased opinion.
Weather Station: Kestrel 5700 Applied Ballistic Sportsman with Bluetooth link. This is a great unit, hands down a worthy piece of gear in your kit bag. If you have one or two rifles and only a couple of different types of ammunition then the Sportsman or 'Lite' software package should do you fine however if you have multiple rifles and multiple rounds then you will inevitably create more than 3 profiles and want to keep them at hand to avoid the hassle of sending and clearing data from the unit. Being that I shoot two different 308 rounds, two different 260 Rem rounds and two different 300 Win Mag rounds I have vastly outgrown the software. The elite version also has a drop chart and more advanced software that makes the Elite version more appealing from the beginning if you can afford the jump in price... The amount of information you can get from the Kestrel is amazing, a helpful tool, just don't get too focused on technology. Before this I had a 4500NV from a deployment back in 2009, the 4500 did not have a ballistic solver on board so required yet another piece of equipment to get a firing solution on the fly, the 5700 is so much easier to use with the bigger screen, the Bluetooth link and iphone application to create profiles remotely... Definitely worth the investment.
Laser Range Finder: Sig Sauer Kilo 2200MR. Ranging reticle version, being a 7x lens it isn't overly helpful being in 5 mil increments but the LRF is sensitive enough to get good returns on small steel targets consistently out past 1,000 meters which is good. For the size, this or the Leica's are what I'd be looking at unless you can afford a Vectronix of course. The Really Right Stuff tripod mount makes getting further readings a lot more achievable. Over the past 10 years, I have owned three different Bushnell LRF's, a Swarovski Laser Guide that was excellent and now this Kilo2200MR. The emphasis has always been on less reflective target detection in field conditions. You get what you pay for to a point, things are really improving on the LRF front these days, units are getting extremely powerful for a reasonable price.
Spotting Scope: Bushnell Legend Tactical 15-45x. This is the Gen2 spotter with a mil-hash reticle. The focus ring is ultra sensitive but the lens is clear, the reticle is helpful and much better than the original mil-dot. I'm happy with this spotter, for the price they're hard to beat and the reticle is First Focal Plane unlike some others. When paired with the Triad Tactical spotter cover this is good to go. Nightforce makes an outstanding spotter, the Leupold MK4 with TMR is also another good option. Vortex are hard to beat price wise and have a great micro-adjust focus ring on some models that's worth checking out.
Binoculars: Vortex Crossfire 10x42. Unkillable, comfortable and practical. The eye box is small however light transmission is quite good and for the price you can wear them in a rig or throw them in your pack and not be too concerned. When using them with a tripod, the Precision Rifle Solutions - Universal Optics Mount helps keep them up top for hands free scanning (image below, different binos).
Packs & Bags:
As for packs... That's another subject all together however we have had a lot of excellent use from the Platatac - Bullock Echo Large, holds all our comp gear (pictured at the very top of the page!). For field use, the High Ground Gear field pack holds everything with room to spare. This is an ongoing evolution area, on a quest for the ultimate pack. Have used Mystery Ranch, SORD, Various ALICE packs, Osprey, Eberlestock etc... Haven't found the catch-all yet.
For small day packs, the High Range Outdoors SR20 made in Australia by my very good mate Ben is built like a tank and carries gear extremely well!
Conclusion:
It doesn't matter how much money you spend, how much stuff you carry, how much gear you have. As long as it's important to you, fills a need and makes you more effective then it's worth carrying.
We at Low Vis Gear are ALWAYS more than happy to help you get on your way and fill a skills gap or equipment deficiency.
We proudly represent and distribute products for Triad Tactical, Precision Rifle Solutions, Armageddon Gear, SORD Australia, Platatac and work closely with sound Australian companies like Tier Gear in Tasmania and High Range Outdoors up in Canberra. We have access to a LOT of gear if you let us know what you're chasing.
We have a lot of friends at different companies such as Delta Tactical, Huntsman Aus etc that are also beyond willing to help out. If we don't have something but they do then we will always let you know... We are a small community and need to look after each other!

A couple of weeks ago we had a run at the Victorian Precision Service Rifle - Series comp shoot up in Castlemaine, Victoria.
After a couple of quick phone calls, finding level ground, I paired up with the head trainer at Orange Accuracy. A very calm and honest, no bullshit kind of bloke who is a squared away shooter and is easy to communicate with on the firing line (if you're looking to sharpen up your skills, get in touch to discuss options). OA is running a really sleek Surgeon 6.5CM with Nightforce BEAST.
We settled in fairly quickly and had a pretty solid day.
LVG ended up 2nd in open division with my 260REM / Nightforce Optics BEAST. I dumped a tonne of points on an easy 600yd serial in the heavy mirage, while as a team we landed 3rd in the open division pairs group which was good for our first run on the line. Some serious competition in these shoots, excellent shooters with a tonne of experience and lots of rounds down range! Pro wind calls and spotting from OA, you often simply can NOT do this alone, a good spotter is essential.
Equipment for the day we were running a full suite of Low Vis Gear:
- ZipSackG3 (Small) for spent rounds etc.
- Prototype LVG rifle sling
All in the glorious A-Tacs Camo Intermediate eXtreme (as usual) pattern. PURPOSE driven gear that works well on a flat range just as it does in the hills or at work.
I always enjoy shooting up at Castlemaine, surrounded by excellent people, never a single issue, Jarrod is a great bloke, the Castlemaine Rifle club are very accepting, friendly and accommodating... Thanks lads, looking forward to getting back up.
As manufacturers of LR shooting products, we apply our lessons learned and past experiences into the design of our products... We don't steal designs, draw up nice looking pictures, sew fabric together and push crap out into the market.
We back all our gear and know 100% that it is fit for purpose.... Practice what you preach!

We have a lot of different gear on order that should be arriving in the coming days and weeks from the USA. As always, if you are chasing anything in particular from any of the following just let us know!
Triad Tactical | Armageddon Gear | SORD Australia | Precision Rifle Solutions |
BACK IN STOCK AND NEW ITEMS LIST:
NEW PRODUCTS EXPECTED SOON & ITEMS IN BOUND:
LOW VIS GEAR DEVELOPMENT 'SKUNK WORKS' ITEMS:
]]>
Internal foam padding provides protection from the cold wet ground below. Grip-Tac type material on the elbow area helps with stability in offhand and general prone shooting positions. Large coverage areas, nice and wide while being fairly long!
We had a prototype Low Vis Gear padded shooting mat in the works for a fair while, but now we've come across this, why bother... This ticks all the boxes and is extremely high quality!
Coyote Brown and other colours available upon request!
$199.95ea + Post.
]]>Caught up with the excellent people at A-TACS who are also based in Georgia. The lads there are extremely receptive to progression and growth in our direction so we are going to be introducing their brand new AU-X pattern (clothing in AU-X seen below, load bearing gear and hat in IX) as soon as the fabric is available to replace Kryptek in all products! This will be an outstanding pattern that we are really excited about.
AU-X is a modernised version of the original AU pattern, with a similar digital 'tiger stipe' type effect that blends exceptionally well in drier areas, this will be a pinnacle pattern and absolutely something to keep an eye on!
With that, we have another roll of 500 Denier A-Tacs iX fabric on it's way from the USA right now so will be re-opening all products up to order shortly as it gets closer to being delivered. We got caught out just before leaving with a couple of solid orders that smashed our supplies. We apologise for any inconvenience that caused... Not to worry, we will have plenty more shortly.
We didn't get to see everyone we wanted to see, timings were hard to match up with so much going on and everyone being spread out so far. We will return!
We honestly APPRECIATE your patience and support during the stand down, very smooth transition so thanks for that.
Hope you are all well, take care.

Being that we are making gear as orders come in at the moment, we have not decided if we will keep this as a mainstream colour so if you're a FG fan, NOW IS THE TIME!
We do have 1000 Denier A-Tacs iX fabric in stock, however the feel and nature of the bags change dramatically with the much heftier fabric... Hence why we stick to 500D for a mroe pliable shooting platform. If you wan't anything made in 1000D let us know by email and we'll sort it out.
Freight generally takes a couple of weeks, if you want to be put on a backorder list for anything simply get in touch and we will make it happen!
Thanks,
