Long range shooting is a test of rifle, ammo, optics and skill. Past a few hundred yards, gravity and wind take over, and the shooter who reads them best wins.
Know your drop
Every bullet falls on its way to the target. A ballistic app uses your bullet, velocity and the weather to tell you how much to dial or hold at each distance. Confirm it by shooting at real distances.
Read the wind
Wind is the hardest part of long range shooting. Learn the clock method, watch grass, mirage and flags, and keep a record of your corrections.
