Improving Long Range Shooting By Selecting The Correct Rifle

Improving Long Range Shooting By Selecting The Correct Rifle Long-range shooting has seen an increase in popularity over recent years, and it can be understood as a shooting discipline in which the shooter has to aim at and hit targets at significant distances. In order for the distance to be considered long-range, it has to be significant enough for the shooter to have to calculate the ballistics, particularly when it comes to wind and the bullet trajectory. If you need to make drastic adjustments to your zero in order to hit a target dead center due to the drag of wind and general impact of gravity, then you can consider that distance to count as long-range. Although the above definitions are widely accepted, there are still those that quibble over what the exact distance definition should be, wanting it to be termed in yards. That is why, generally speaking, one can consider shortrange to be any distance of fewer than 300 yards and long-range to be anything between 300 and 1200 yards. Any distance longer than a mile can be considered extra-long range, or ELD. Long-range shooting usually only takes place in the field, and the majority of those that engage in it are shooting in order to hunt. The average distance at the gun range will be between one and 200 yards, and due to the enclosed nature of a gun range, the shooter will need to make very little compensation for various environmental factors. These only really come into play out in the field when shooting at greater distances. In the US there is a term called MOA, or Minutes of Angle, which is an angular measurement that determines how accurate your rifle is. It is particularly important for anyone wishing to shoot long-range to know and understand the MOA of a rifle as this will help you achieve shooting success when aiming over greater distances. If you are on the hunt for a superior hunting rifle for longrange shooting, it is highly recommended to acquire one that has 1 MOA as this is the standard accuracy minimum for those that want to engage in shooting at significant distances. The best long-range hunting rifles currently on the market are the PROOF Research rifles. These rifles have been specifically designed for long-range shooting and they are far superior in many ways. The entire PROOF Research team is committed to ensuring that every firearm they manufacture upholds the highest standard of product quality, safety, and reliability. Before a rifle leaves the factory, it is meticulously inspected and thoroughly tested to ensure the completed system meets the rigorous standards for quality and accuracy and is worthy of the name PROOF. Lots of companies make sub-MOA claims, but they prove it by testing every rifle they sell using the Oehler 85 Professional Ballistics Lab System and include the results. The Oehler 85 System is the gold standard of industrial and military testing — it has a machine-gun chronograph function to support the development of future carbon fiber weapon technology as well as photoelectric screens combined with a 4-microphone acoustic


array enabling precise measurement of pressures, action time, muzzle velocity, ballistic coefficient, and accuracy for statistical analysis. This means that the MOA of accuracy claims of any PROOF Research rifle will have been tested and proven, and you can be sure that the rifle you receive will be of the best quality available. As a growing industry leader, the PROOF Research team is committed to reducing weight on their rifles while improving accuracy and performance. Accuracy is one of the most important aspects of any PROOF Research rifle and that is why it is the rifle of choice for any hunter looking to shoot long-range.
