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.

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.
