How do you shoot at long range? Depending on the size of your target, the distance to that target and the atmospheric conditions at the time of firing on that target, there are a number of variables you will need to correct for IF you wish to score a clean 1st round hit. There are a number of ways that long range precision shooters use to address all the different variables to make long range shots. So, let us examine the different ways folks use to adjust fire when shooting at long ranges and examine their suitability at the various ranges at which they are most commonly employed.
Corrective techniques discussed in this video:
Point Blank Zero
S.W.A.G.
Calculated Hold-Off
Ballistic Drop Compensation (BDC) techniques
Detailed Ballistic Tables
CALC-FORMS
Handheld Ballistic Computers & phone apps.
Range Categories Discussed in this Video:
1. Close Range (Point Blank Range) - No holdover need to hit most targets, point blank zero is most common method of engagement. (typically 0 - 300 meters)
2. Medium Range - Where bullet drop needs to be corrected for, not quite far enough to warrant significant atmospheric corrections. (typically 300 - 600 meters)
3. Long Range - Where atmospheric corrections need to be applied to the bullet drop in order to hit the target. (typically 600 - 1000 meters)
4. Extreme Long Range - Where spin drift and Coriolis Effect begin to have a significant impact on POI. (typically 1,000+ meters)
Depending on your cartridge and load, the values of these range categories will vary. In order to have the best results, always adjust fire as precisely as you can.
