All hunters and shooters know that buying a great rifle, an appropriate optic and the correct ammunition for the hunt will never be enough, even if indeed you acquire the best.

Although the best rifle is extremely important for the hunter’s success, there are other important factors to consider as well. It often boils down to issues such as, say, natural talent as a hunter, but skills can be taught too. In fact, for example over longer distances with one’s prey not close by, natural talent may not be enough.

Many hunters set out to hunt over relatively short distances, but in certain cases, hunting takes place over truly long distances of up to, say, 700 yards, or 800, or more than even 1,000. This category, the long-range shooting discipline is meant for the connoisseur, the hunter that has progressed from shorter distances to have become the master over those distances that not everybody is keen – or skilful – enough to tackle.

In addition to acquiring a top long-range rifle such as a Browning or, the well-supported PROOF Research options, there are various skills that have an impact on how ...
... well one shoots and hits a target. These boil down to those skills you need in terms of how well you know and handle your firearm, but also skills that must consider the weather, the lie of the land, what topography you have to contend with, the time of day, sunshine or rain – a number of issues that may actually negate what a hunter feels is a natural disposition.

Fortunately, though, skills can be taught, and thousands of hunters all over the world attend shooting classes at a shooting school or facility. That is often the first step towards success for the shooter and hunter. Some of these facilities, much like anything in else life, can be categorized: some are simply better than others. In the US with its passion for hunting in many states such as Texas, Alabama and others, for example, there are some good schools which are well attended for the success that shooters that visit them, report of.

The long-range shooter, specifically, wants to know they receive instruction and advice from a leading facility that is confident that their instruction – and often the advice about the best rifles for long-range shooting –will teach all those issues the shooter has to contend with with with over long distances. The best among these schools or centres has good websites for the hunter to peruse and form an idea of what they will be taught once they enrol.

Some of the most important factors that one would expect from a good training facility will include, for example, structured lectures followed by some practical instruction in the field. The hunter wants to receive instruction about the best ammunition for their shooting discipline, they want to be taught all those skills and tips to help them position themselves correctly when they are ready to fire.

For example, posture can greatly influence one’s success when firing, so will breathing. One’s stance, no matter whether you are in an upright position or kneeling, will have an impact. The instructor at the shooting school should address these issues and offer advice.

You want to be taught how to in- and exhale when preparing for the shot so you pull the trigger at the most appropriate moment. A good instructor will impress upon the hunter or shooter that is new to long-range shooting, that patience is important, that you have to practice breathing and stance, that you have to consider climatic issues such as sunny conditions – or overcast. These have bearing on your success.

There are various other issues to consider; the good schools offer well-designed courses and can contribute greatly to the hunter’s success out there, whether you practice short, medium or long-range shooting.
