Finding your Speed Drop Factor

How long does it take to find our drop data for a target range?  If we need data quickly, most shooters are using some type of paper chart. This chart could be taped to the stock, on a data holder, or arm bar where with a quick glance we can read our data.  What if there is a faster way?  Welcome to the Speed Drop Factor.  Finding and using your Speed Drop Factor will allow you to memorize your drop data to a reasonable distance by remembering one number.

The Sniper’s Hide Dot Drill

As a precision rifle shooter, shooting groups is a necessary evil. Some disciplines revolve around group shooting, like benchrest or F Class. As a tactical shooter, I look at it as more of a cross-the-course style of shooting. It's not about the group size as much as the position used to get that first-round hit. We are looking to solve a dynamic problem versus repeating the same thing over and over. The reality is that we want to solve the shooting problem in the least number of rounds possible instead of stacking a group into a single target.
