Savage Arms: The Fundamentals of Long-Range Shooting

Savage Arm's blog has what appears to be a good article on "Long-Range Shooting Fundamentals: The Basics of Precision." Topics covered include:

  • Trigger control
  • Breathing control
  • Body positioning
  • Grip and rifle control
  • Recoil management
  • Follow through
  • Maintaining mastery with off-range drills 

Be sure to check it out.

    “The best snipers in the world don’t take no-fail shots beyond 400 meters,” Nelson says. “And they shoot for a living. So ask yourself: what’s your 100% hit distance? That’s your ethical hunting range.”

    Long-range training helps you find that distance and shrink your margin of error. But the goal is never to extend your lethal range on animals—it’s to tighten your confidence at the ranges you already shoot.
