Game Changer Bag Fill, the SpexLite Advantage
Shooting bags have become increasingly popular across shooting disciplines, not only in those where they have traditionally been used as support for rifle on various positions, but also in areas where they were once less common. This growth in use reflects broader changes in the disciplines, where adjustments in rifle weight and support equipment are being made to improve hit percentage on smaller and smaller targets under decreasing par times each year.
Paper Prophesies
Paper is a Rat, it will never lie to you. Use paper target to seek the truth of any shooting issue
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.

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.
Selecting the right rifle and caliber isn’t about hype or marketing—it’s about understanding what matters most for accuracy, consistency, and per...
The Mammoth Sniper Challenge: A Lesson in Laser Rangefinder Limitations
The Mammoth Sniper Challenge has once again served as a proving ground for gear, skill, and resilience. Among the key takeaways this year was a recurring issue: the limitations of laser rangefinders in demanding scenarios. While high-quality rangefinders like the Envision Mars (905nm & 1550nm), L3 Storm, and the binocular-born Leica Geovid and Vectronix Vector X excelled, lower-cost options often fell …
The Wheel of Time
In long-range shooting, understanding what affects accuracy at different distances can feel like cracking a code for the first time. Time of Flight (TOF)—the time it takes for a bullet to reach the target—is a critical factor in this equation. Different aspects of performance that we look for as shooters with goals appear in different …
Shooters Global Shot Timers: SG 2.0 and SG GO
Review, first impressions, thoughts. Black Friday is here, and while everyone’s hunting for deals, I wanted to share my experience with a couple of tools that I got to play with and share our honest thoughts about: the Shooters Global SG 2.0 and SG GO shot timers. I had the chance to test both timers with a variety of …

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 …
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.

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 …
Featured Opinions
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.”
