Best Way For A Hunter To Start Is To Choose A Good Rifle Every hunter cherishes the moment when they get the perfect shot. Whether it be a big game, upland or in a competition; skill and patience partnered with a good rifle make all the difference. Hunters and competition shooters have a variety of choices when it comes to guns, ammo and accessories. For instance, long-distance shooters must select a rifle that has been built to shoot targets at distances of 600 yards or more. Distances further than 1,000 yards are normally referred to as extreme long range. Long-range shooting requires a different approach than shooting closer distances. The short-range shooter may only need to adjust their sights when distances change, long-range shooters need to consider many more environmental elements, the most important, wind drift. Even when the shooter’s aim is perfect, if the wind interferes, they will most likely miss the target. Other factors to consider are typography, body position and the type of rifle used. A sub-standard rifle will not enhance the shooter’s accuracy and it will affect it as distance increases between the shooter and their target.
The best way to find the best long-range rifle is to do research. Using the right rifle plays a huge part. Read articles in magazines, or books dedicated to this discipline. Online forums and referrals from gun shop owners, training instructors and friends are additional means to finding the best rifle. Training courses will teach the different issues long-range shooters face and how to react to adverse situations. Specialists write articles, offer instruction, study data and hunters’ experiences and they compile lists of features offered on various rifle makes and models for the long-range shooter.
When just starting, the beginner should follow these instructions. First, find a good instructor or training facility to learn the basics of long-range shooting, then research information on the best rifles to use, finally understand the issues that will be faced when in the field such as wind and bad weather, as well as accessories that should be used such as bipod or tripods. A reputable brand name does play an important part as certain brands are known for their high-quality long-range rifles. Brand names to consider are Proof Research, HOWA, and Browning, to name a few. The Lightweight Mountain Hunter from Proof Research, for example, is often recommended for the hunter or shooter that wants to own a light precision hunting rifle. This choice, coupled with hours of practice and instruction from an experienced trainer, makes it a great option for many hunters new to long-distance shooting. Experienced shooters often have a preference of what stocks they prefer, or the best muzzle to reduce recoil, or which suppressor to acquire. They will often reference barrel choice alone makes a huge difference in accuracy, and very often lighter options such as carbon fibre are preferred. These are very personal choices but selecting the best options also needs experience, an experience which very often is offered by a good instructor or the dealer. A good, trusted dealer is often a great start for the hunter or shooter that wants the best option for their longrange shooting profile.
