Long range
Range estimation simplified from an Army Delta Operator
Modern-day range estimation has become a lot easier for the common man to accomplish thanks to technology. Most optics these days can be had with range estimation built in, whether that is a spotting scope, scope mounted on your carbine or long gun, or a pair of binos. Back in the day the Marine Corps Scout […]

Watch | Learn wind calls for long distance shooting
In the world of long-range shooting, it is often said that “Beginners talk ballistics, experts talk wind calls”. Indeed, there seems to be as much myth as there is math regarding the correction of the horizontal component of trajectory, so here’s a video from Outdoor Life’s “Gun Lab” series, covering wind reads. -Rex Nanorum @Rexnanorum […]
Maximize Your Training: Get Some Distance!
Often, we shoot on our own without outside input or supervision. How can we maximize our training time and expenses by dialing ourselves in? Distance. Not only is distance our friend in a gun-fight but it can be our friend in training time. Since becoming a pistol and rifle instructor, I find myself not having […]
External Ballistics for Long Range Shooting: Elevation and Windage
When there is a firing elevation or depression angle, that is, when you’re firing with the barrel inclined upward (uphill) or downward (downhill), the bullet always hits higher than the aimed point. This happens when sights are zeroed on a level range, and then the shot is taken to a target positioned at the same distance […]
Long Range Shooting: External Ballistics – Angle Shooting
In many texts around the web, you’ll find one common incorrect explanation of this phenomenon: a simplistic approach derived from the formula used to calculate compensation. You may have read that your shot will land high because, when shooting at an angle, gravity has less effect on the bullet trajectory, since the horizontal distance traveled […]

Long Range Shooting: External Ballistics and Bullet Trajectory
From the moment it leaves the muzzle, a bullet starts to follow a parabolic trajectory. Which means that, as the bullet travels further, the rate at which it approaches the ground increases. This parabolic trajectory is caused by gravity and drag. The trajectory will have an ascending and a descending part because to compensate for […]
