The primary issue for many was target acquisition speed in both locating targets as well as re locating in riflesope. Despite self-assessments suggesting proficiency, over half of the competitors struggled significantly in this skill alone, either failing to locate targets or re-engage them after initial contact. This widespread challenge underscores the need for focused practice on quickly locating and engaging targets using both binoculars and riflescopes.

Armed with detailed performance insights, shooters can develop a focused training regimen based on their specific needs. By consistently tracking progress and adjusting training strategies, a shooter can measure tangible improvements in their marksmanship, reflecting in increased hit percentages across various shooting scenarios.

 Long range shooting is a journey. Little did I know, as a young Marine recruited to Surveillance – Target Acquisition Platoon in 1986, that I would still be in this game some thirty-seven years later. That is how some journeys are. One doesn’t realize that a journey has been undertaken until time passes and you …

Importance of team communication and simplicity Having watched so many teams in a performance setting I have separated out team communication as the dynamic that makes the biggest difference. It is crucial that shooting partners in a competitive context (and I would imagine in others) communicate in a way that’s very clear and straight to …

A great deal of attention is dedicated to making our rifles more accurate. Shooters agonize over the best barrels, the stiffest actions, and the most rigid chassis. But for some reason, all too often they ignore the second largest part of the equation—making the user accurate.  There are several upgrades that can make your bolt …

Think of this as rifle ergonomics, your personal performance enhancer. When your gear is customized to suit you perfectly, you’re more comfortable, you can go longer without feeling tired, and you’re less likely to get injured. It’s like having everything tuned to your body’s preferences, allowing you to focus and excel at what you’re doing.

I don’t subscribe to one rifle rules them all, even though it would be cool. Magnification levels make a difference for many shooters. If you havent tested your shooting at different magnification levels you might be missing more than you realize.

I think of these as distinct layers of error that stack to produce the resulting final size of your shot pattern, but its relevant because the individual components DO stack into each other and CAN be reduced individually to shrink the pattern with focus and effort. 

BigJimFish discusses the use of levels in precision rifles with some numbers on their importance, provides instructions for mounting scopes with a level, and discusses a variety of types of level as well as specific products.

As precision long range rifle instructors, our problem was a full line of students each with his or her own rifle, caliber, and numerous parameters and cartridges all flying at different speeds at different weights with different characteristics.
