Marine Scout Sniper Teaches His Tripod Shooting Process in 8 Minutes | HOLDS System

Join former Marine Scout Sniper Phillip Velayo for a complete breakdown of the HOLDS System — a five-step framework for setting up a tripod and shooting from the standing position with consistency and control. Watch as Phillip walks through each element of the system — Height, Orientation, Length, Drag, and Stance — and explains the reasoning behind every adjustment so you can stop guessing and start building a repeatable process.

In this focused eight-minute breakdown, Phillip covers the critical details most shooters overlook: why tripod height relative to your solar plexus matters more than feel, how ball head drag affects micro jitters, and why the standing position remains the hardest positional skill to master. Whether you're new to tripod shooting or looking to clean up an inconsistent setup, this video gives you a system you can apply on your next range session.

In This Video:
H — Height: Four to six inches above the solar plexus and why it matters
O — Orientation: Two legs back, one forward for a stable base
L — Length: Support arm length for control without body twist
D — Drag: Finding the 50–70% sweet spot on your ball head
S — Stance: Low body weight, light upper body, and managing recoil
Wobble Zone: Understanding it and using it instead of fighting it
Live Fire Application: Drag adjustment, wind call, and shot execution
