We have a Hunter Diagnostic coming out asap, the draft is up, here is a sneak peek at the 1 Box hunter diagnostic
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 distances. The
calculations presented here are not simple extrapolations from a group shot at 100 yards or
based solely on the wind conditions on the day of the test. Instead, they provide a
comprehensive approach to evaluating likely hit or miss scenarios under various
conditions.
This diagnostic tool can be particularly useful in hunting situations, where ethical
considerations are paramount. By assessing kill zone sizes for game animals and
determining an absolute maximum no-shoot distance, hunters can make more informed
decisions, reducing the risk of injuring or missing their target.
Step 1: Paper at 100 Yards
Shooting Positions and Sequence
Perform the diagnostic from the three most likely positions you anticipate using during the
hunt with the same equipment and ammunition. Follow a build-and-break sequence for
each shot to simulate hunting conditions.
Build and Break Shots: Shoot from the three most likely positions you anticipate using
during the hunt—three shots each, totaling 12 shots.
On top of this Weatherby has been supporting the site and recently we were using the Weatherby 307 in 6.5CM, but soon we'll be looking at the Alpine models for the site.
The Alpine CT https://weatherby.com/store/model-307-alpine-ct/
And the Alpine MDT which is what I like for a hunting stock

What are you doing to prepare, what caliber / cartridge will you be shooting ?
