Long range rifle training typically covers a variety of topics, including:
- Rifle and ammunition selection: Long range shooting requires specialized rifles and ammunition that are designed for accuracy at extended distances.
- Marksmanship fundamentals: The basic principles of marksmanship, such as proper grip, stance, and trigger control, are even more important at long range.
- External ballistics: External ballistics is the study of how factors such as wind, temperature, and humidity affect the flight of a bullet.
- Optics: Long range shooters typically use high-powered scopes with features that help them to account for external ballistics.
- Spotting: A spotter is someone who helps the shooter by observing the impact of their shots and relaying information back to them.
