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.

If the bullets land in a tight cluster, it suggests that the rifle is accurate and the shooter has good marksmanship skills.
