Extended Long Range Shooting
Posted by Range Tech on
-
Optics: Long-range shooters typically use high-quality scopes with variable magnification to spot and engage distant targets accurately. The scope's reticle should be designed for long-range shooting, and features such as parallax adjustment and elevation/windage turrets are crucial.
-
Ballistics Knowledge: Understanding ballistics is essential for hitting targets at extended ranges. This includes knowing the trajectory, wind drift, and other environmental factors that affect the bullet's path.
-
Range Estimation: Accurate estimation of the target's distance is crucial. Rangefinders are commonly used to measure distances to the target, and a good knowledge of the terrain can help with range estimation.
-
Environmental Factors: Wind speed and direction, temperature, altitude, and humidity all influence the bullet's trajectory. Skilled long-range shooters learn to account for these factors to make accurate shots.

What Do Professionals Think About Rangetech's Training?
Posted by Range Tech on
Long range shooting is one of those intersections of science, skill, and art. It’s hard enough on a flat range, but when done in high winds and from different positions, the difficulty level ramps up. A lot of the skills used in long range shooting can be honed with decent gear and enough practice, but there is nothing like a solid foundation to build upon. That is where training like that offered by RangeTech comes in. Recently, I had the opportunity to experience a one on one long range training course with Mike from RangeTech. I picked up some great...

.224 Valkyrie Breaking the mystery surrounding the cartridge.
Posted by Range Tech on
So, is the .224 Valkyrie worth the time and effort? In short yes, and maybe no. Yes, if you're willing to invest in Redding Type S Full dies and a Forster Co-Ax press, learn some stuff about precision reloading; and no, if you're not. The simple fact of the matter is that the factory 88 and 90 grain loads have a poor form factor and poor miller stability. Guys have tried to band aid this by going to a tighter twist rate but it still doesn't solve your velocity issues.
