All athletes, all individuals that enjoy a specific sports discipline, know that certain basic principles will always apply. Among these are natural talent or skills (also taught), tools you need such as the best accessories and, for hunters and shooters, the best rifle, gun and ammunition, for example.

These aspects of shooting and hunting all contribute towards your success in the end, and so much more for those enthusiasts that choose as their preference a specific discipline, such as, for example, long-distance shooting or long-range hunting. For this type of discipline one does need advanced skill and knowledge, as opposed to the hunter and shooter that make shooting over shorter distances their preference. Of course one talks to other hunters and shooters, or you grow up with parents and their friends that have done this all their life, but somehow that is never enough.

For most the answer is to be found in attending long-distance shooting class or school. Since Americans love these activities, they also understand the value of attending class at a good facility to help them gain the necessary knowledge ...
... about the different aspects that impact a successful day at the range or out in the open. Some of the best of these schools are found in, for example, the South where hunting is popular in many states such as Alabama, Georgia and others such as Texas.

In Texas, for example, well-attended shooting facilities in and around San Antonio receive good feedback. At these facilities the hunter and shooter – also those that enjoy long-range practices – are able to learn about all issues that will have an influence on their success as hunters or competition shooters. These classes are normally structured to offer both academic and practical instruction, and the good ones always stand out for the quality of their instructors who come with knowledge, experience and the required expertise.

Therefor everyone that wants to attend should do some homework upfront in order to book their course at a well-known school that gets the nod from past attendees. Aspects and subjects that a good facility teaches will include important topics that help form the basis of the long-range shooter’s success. Good schools cover a wide range of subjects right from what some may consider to be quite basic to those issues that refer to advanced and even specialized fields.

Issues that are normally looked at may include aspects of safety and safety equipment; the equipment and accessories a long-range shooter needs; your choice of rifle and optics; rifle maintenance; the basics and fundamental issues that a shooter and hunter should be aware of; setting goals for yourself and how to constantly measure success; having an understanding of MOA and why that is important for the shooter; distances and judging same; the important facets related to hunting terrain and weather influences. These are among the most important – there are others, and good instructors allow for those too.

Some more experienced hunters will arrive with their choice of rifle and ammunition (if the school allows) at these courses; others may buy their choice firearm only afterwards. Course leaders with the knowledge will be the ones to talk to in this regard as they study and compare the options. It is fact, though, that some rifles will always be more popular among the long-range shooters. For example, a brand such as PROOF Research has made some great inroads in the top choices for the shooter that enjoys long-range shooting. There are others such as the Winchester and Ruger, for example, but it remains a preference.

At shooting school attendees are taught not only the skills they need, but also etiquette, confidence and how to make the jump from shooting over, for example, 300 and 400 yards to those that are considered long-range – 700, 800 and 900 yards, and even more than 1,000. Good shooting schools teach the techniques and make sure the student leaves with the knowledge to help them be successful.
