I have practiced using the bench table top as I would the ground. My range did not have target berms and this made it difficult to shoot from prone on ground since tall grass precluded view of the target. I just used the bench for prone and sitting events. You do what you've got to do. The only...
All, For the OP to make the most out of reduced course target shooting the OP needs to record calls and shots in a data book. This permits the cause of error to literally be seen through analysis of the call/shot corollary. For example a shot called right-in-there but hitting at 3 o'clock...
OP, Another benefit of a rifle length rail is it allows for a longer sight radius; and thus, since this is an angular concept, a better understanding for sight alignment perfection. In addition, the longer radius, when coupled with a small aperture, makes maintaining focus on the front sight...
Shooting clean, a long hand guard will permit a lower prone position with sling support. This contributes to stability, less wobble, and therefore better hits. I'm not interested in what the gun looks like, only that the ergonomics complement the elements and factors of a steady position. For...
I've had the most "fun" shooting at the MR-31. This is the 600 yard target reduced for 100 yards. My scores on this are about what I'd expect shooing mid range prone with sling and irons in about a 4 mph prevailing full value wind. My goal is all X-ring hits, but so far my highest X-count is 17...
OP, I do not think about groups, I think about score, and you should too. Get a score book, and shoot at reduced course NRA HP targets in appropriate position/course of fire, recording calls and shots. Soon thereafter, you will have a basis for comparative analysis, as well as an...
OP, You will need a sight which can be adjusted to where bullet path and line of sight will intersect at 1000 yards. You will need a sight which allows you to recognize a consistent sight picture. This is the relationship between sight and target. Also, you will need a sight with relatively...
I am left eye dominant and shoot from the left shoulder. I have never seen a need for a "left hand" AR. The only complaint I have is the forward assist has opened up my lip on a few occasions when shooting prone sling at 1000 yards on low light days, when, to get enough contrast in sight picture...
I like a rifle length tube with rifle length port. 750 diameter from end cap to muzzle and about one inch diameter under handguards to barrel extension. I like 1 in 7 twist too. With this profile/length/twist I have the basis for accuracy using as issued irons at LR with high b.c. bullets. I...
Just a thought prompted by your post, I think a novice shooter who wants to learn how to do it would be wise to record no-wind, beginning, and corrected zero for wind and weather conditions in a data book. Then, after the shooting exercise, the shooter can reconcile the result with facts from...
I am more concerned about error from inconsistent recoil resistance than from wind, since taking a reading of mirage at mid range when possible will provide a good idea of what counter is necessary for a good hit. And, although getting the wind right is important, as it has the most effect on...
One thing for sure, a grouping is synonymous with shot misplacement, that's to say, shots going somewhere other than where aimed. If shots all went where aimed the literal definition of a zero would be realized, where point of impact and line of sight intersect and the resulting value in any...
I will often just pluck a tuff of grass and toss it. This means of direction detection is useful in HP competition, 300 yard rapid fire from standing to prone, when conditions do not allow me to get back on the spotting scope to view mirage.
Here's a formula: distance to target in yards divided by 100, multiplied by wind velocity valued as half or full value by wind clock, divided by constant, equals MOA of drift. Example, 600 yard target, 10 mph wind seen as having a half value, shooting .223, which uses a constant of 10, would...
