The Straight Dope: Opinion Piece.
Many of us that get into precision shooting gravitate to the word “precision” and are compulsive about finding the perfect and exact ballistic solution, the perfect ammo load, or thinking we can derive perfect environmental and wind readings. As much as our typical compulsion for precise answers drives us, this sport humbles us to get comfortable accepting inherent variables and the reality of rounding.
Nightforce ELR as a first time competitor
When people discover my interest in long-range shooting, Extreme Long Range (ELR) often comes to mind. They frequently ask how far I shoot and what caliber I use. Beyond these common questions, there’s often curiosity about how to manage factors like heartbeat and the Earth’s rotation, likely influenced by portrayals in movies or books. ELR …

Why Gravity Ballistics?
As precision long range rifle instructors, our problem was a full line of students each with his or her own rifle, caliber, and numerous parameters and cartridges all flying at different speeds at different weights with different characteristics.
Getting Started with a Wind Meter
Reading the wind is one of the bedrock skills of long-range shooting. It, along with range estimation and good firing technique, make up the foundation of long-range precision shooting, the base upon which nearly all advanced skills build. In days past, making wind calls was as much art as skill, and it could only be …

RifleKraft Hunter 1 Box Diagnostic
This guide is designed to help shooters determine the maximum effective distance at which they can reliably hit a target of a specific size. The Hunter 1 Box Diagnostic focuses on measuring the shooter’s fundamental consistency, wind reading and variability, stress, and accounts for some ballistic uncertainty as the cone of fire extends to further …

The ABCs of eliminating Parallax
I always considered parallax a non-issue, until I realized I was wrong.
Insights from NRL Hunter:
The primary issue for many was target acquisition speed in both locating targets as well as re locating in riflesope. Despite self-assessments suggesting proficiency, over half of the competitors struggled significantly in this skill alone, either failing to locate targets or re-engage them after initial contact. This widespread challenge underscores the need for focused practice on quickly locating and engaging targets using both binoculars and riflescopes.
Reading the signs Shooting is a fascinating blend of art and science, requiring not just skill but also a deep understanding of physics,...

Frank is a legend in the sport. Nuggets of knowledge just flow out in these podcast. I teach people to shoot long range for a living, and I spend many a morning listening to Frank and his guests.
Love what your doing with length of pull. I run all my guns short and I’m 6’2”. Couldn’t agree more about “avoiding the hunt.”
