When Accuracy Is A Must

When Accuracy Is A Must Big game hunters, competition shooters, and wingshooters want to know that they give themselves the best chance of success while in the field. Hunters and long-range competition shooters need different instruction and training, as well as specific firearms. Long-range shooters have to consider many more extenuating circumstances than a shorter range shooter or hunter. Long-range shooting typically refers to shooting at distances of 600 - 1,000 yards, with those above 1,000 are referred to as extreme long-range distances. To be accurate and precise with every shot, which is what hunters and shooters desire, skill level, experience and even a rifle may have to be considered.

Beginners may not be successful initially, but once they understand the principles of long-range shooting, build their confidence and select the best rifle, their performance will improve. Many long-range shooters attend courses specific to this discipline at respectable facilities to teach them the skills, knowledge and best practices to become top-class shooters. Even if one does not attend such a school, any experienced hunter or shooter knows that the instruction of an experienced marksman is essential. These instructors take their students through the paces and explain all the issues that could influence their shooting. They teach their students how to master the craft and not allow issues such as wind, adverse weather such as rain and typography to be bothersome. They also teach stance and body position, as well as, when and when not to pull the trigger. They also offer advice regarding the latest long-range rifles for beginners, intermediate and advanced shooters. Reputable brand names such as Tikka, Springfield, Sig Sauer, Ruger and Proof Research all make long-distance rifles.


Some issues influence the long-range shooter’s accuracy. These include longrange rifle styles where the style of shooting determines the rifle. For example, target shooting rifles will be heavier than others since the weight adds to rigidity which is good for precision. The long-distance hunter may prefer a lighter rifle as they go on long hikes and trek through difficult terrain. In addition to these two considerations, there are others. Think of aspects such as barrel material, width, and length. Carbon fibre is a popular choice for many, specifically for its lightweight quality, especially if it is made and manufactured by a good, experienced brand like PROOF Research. When choosing a rifle for accuracy and precision, there are other criteria such as cost, for example, to be considered, also whether or not finding parts after the rifle is purchased, is easy. Shooters do not want to be stuck with a rifle for which they can’t find new or replacement parts. Be sure to deal with a supplier that can assure that he/she keeps parts for sale separately from the rifle that is acquired from them. For the person that just sets out as a hunter or shooter, it is important to know which are the best rifles, but also who those instructors are that can help with information and teaching those important issues that may stand between the shooter and their success.
