Long-Range Shooting Tips

Key elements include consistent fundamentals, quality data (DOPE), and understanding wind.

  • Confirm a solid 100 m zero and chronograph your ammo for accurate muzzle velocity.
  • Create and validate DOPE at distance; don’t rely solely on calculators.
  • Read wind with mirage, vegetation, and environmental cues; bracket your holds.
  • Manage recoil to spot impacts; maintain follow-through and position discipline.
  • Keep a clean, torqued system; track round counts and maintenance.
