Shooting Class Is Often The First Requirement For Being Successful At Long Range Shooting Very few hunters and shooters will deny that good shooting instruction are one of the most important building blocks for the success of the hunter and shooter. Skill alone is not always good enough, or the so-called “feel” a hunter has for his environment and the conditions out there, such as wind drift and speed, mirage, topography, in fact, all factors that combine to ensure success – or the lack thereof. Over shorter distances, be that 200 yards or less, or the slightly longer 300, or even 500 and 800 yards, the shooter quickly understands that the longer the distance is, the more difficult it becomes to hit the target – and it becomes, especially when you are out there and offered only one chance at success to take home that deer you are after, even more, difficult to guarantee success all the time, or even at times. Therefore most hunters set out by choosing the best hunting rifle for shooting accurately over longer distances, such as, for example, Mossberg, Remington, Savage, and the highly regarded PROOF Research rifles, and they ensure that they avail themselves of the best possible information about how long- and short-distance shooting disciplines differ.
Over longer distances, every shooter understands, it becomes more difficult to hit target time and again, since different principles apply: the longer the distance, the greater the influence of weather and atmospheric influences such as the topography of the land where you are hunting, wind, overcast conditions, glaring sunlight – and all other weather-related conditions that could have bearing on the success of your efforts. To understand all of this, reading up about the topic is a good start, since the internet is very helpful in terms of information, and so are subscriptions to gun magazines and other material that offer great advice. And, of course, attending shooting school, or visiting a shooting academy or another facility where instruction is offered so that the hunter and other shooters can benefit from what they are taught during such a course.
What makes attending such schools or facilities great for the hunter, is the fact that courses are structured in a way to ensure attendees receive the necessary knowledge and assistance that may be difficult to achieve by reading up only. The best ones will always ensure that both theoretical knowledge and practical instruction receive the necessary attention to ensure that the attendee is given a proper basis to underpin their success when they are out there. Because hunting is so popular all over the world, there certainly are good opportunities for the hunter to visit such facilities, and especially in a country such as the US, for example, where hunting is often more than a mere pastime for people. That means these schools are well attended and supported by shooters that want to be taught the finer points of, especially, long-range shooting. Having a good rifle such as a PROOF Research is a tremendous start, but being taught what to look out for, what to consider and take into account when you shoot over longer distances, only comes with knowledge of conditions in the area where you will be shooting, such as the influence of wind deflection as only one example of the many that may influence your accuracy when shooting – and your resultant success. Attending class has, of course, the added advantage that students receive individual or one-on-one attention too, which is often imperative for success. This further means having to choose carefully the facility you want to visit for good instruction. Fortunately the good ones in any region are well known, and they come recommended for the instruction they offer, for the experience and expertise of the course leaders – and for their good name as schools for long-range shooting instruction.
