Good Shooting Instruction Is Often At The Heart Of Hunters’ Success Nobody will ever deny that good instruction — in addition to natural ability — lays the foundation for the success which any professional sportsperson hopes to achieve. It is also true for the shooter and hunter. That is why shooting class and instruction, shooting schools and facilities are important, and why the best ones are growing in popularity all the time, since the hunter that spends money on a good rifle, that pays for a hunting trip and wants to cherish great memories, needs to be well prepared when they set out. Of course, it always helps to be a naturally skilled shooter or hunter; however, that is not the beginning, nor is it the end, certainly not for the shooter that prefers long-range shooting for example. Training and instruction ensure that the hunter or shooter is offered a proper grounding so they can take to the field in the confidence that they have been given the tools for success.

Long-range shooting is popular in many parts of the world, also in the American South and elsewhere, for example, where ample opportunity exists for hunters and shooters to enjoy their passion — and where they can receive good instruction whether in San Antonio, Texas, in Alabama, Georgia or other parts of the country. No matter where one attends, it is important to receive instruction from an experienced school with great teachers and instructors that base the contents of their courses around a combination of both theoretical and practical instruction. You want to know that the course you attend will teach you — with practical guidance — all of those issues you will have to consider when it is just you, your rifle, and the prey out there.. Good courses make provision for attendees to receive instruction about what a great, recommended rifle would be, such as the well-known Proof Research ™ for example. Instruction is offered to ensure the attendee is given all tools to improve their confidence to be successful over very long distances, they are taught the various positions one can shoot from and still be accurate first time whether that is from a prone position or an improvised position because of time constraints or because of interferences such as bush and foliage;


good instructors teach the student how to feel relaxed about all off-hand positions and circumstances, or shooting from a tripod and other options so you understand that you can execute perfectly every time, no matter the position, for example. These and other issues should be included in a course that starts with theoretical information followed up by spending time at the range and/or in the field. The position is one consideration. There are various others that the good instructor addresses. Think of, for example, the most basic issues such as holding the rifle to advanced issues such as quick adjustment when you’re out stalking your prey. Think, too, of practical issues such as the weather and how that impacts visibility, or how hilly or flat the region is where you may be hunting as that does have bearing on accuracy; think of wind speed and direction or wind deflection that impacts how bullets travel and how that may impact your success. Think of the many different types of ammunition and the bullets that may be best for your firearm — good instructors pay attention to these issues since they all have bearing on one’s accuracy, especially over longer distances. They teach you about recoil, i.e. the kick of the rifle when firing, they teach you about follow-through and how squeezing the trigger may impact accuracy. Details about behavior when in the company of other hunters and shooters are touched upon. A good training course helps to prepare the shooter in every respect to preparing themselves for the accuracy needed to be successful — every time. Good training and instruction, a good rifle, and speaking to a recommended retailer are some of the most important issues to be considered for the person that wants to excel at long-range shooting.
