long range fundamentals

[Guest tswenka]

Hey guys not sure if this is where to post this. But is there a thread on long range shooting fundamentals somewhere on here. Been to ok corral a couple times and I am getting hooked.

I should have specified earlier, but the fundamentals I need help with are proper posture and grip for a long gun as well as proper scope use. Not very familair with optics of any kind. Pops didnt believe in them. At 200 I am hitting the target, but I have no group whatsoever just all over it.

yeah lol. its the range in woodbury. Has a rifle range for out to 200 yards. owner is a great guy. also has a pistol range. for the money and the hassle freeness of it I think its a great range.

check enos, under multi gun there is a topic were you could post this question and have some great info. just curious have you different types of ammo wieghts and types?

[Guest tswenka]

to be honest, with my skill level as it stands right now, different ammo types will not make any difference. I am still learning how to use a scope and maintain a good hold on the rifle. It has been mostly T & E. And I havent had access to reliable shooting info until now.

Oh and what is enos??? Also book reccomendations would be appreciated. I dont reload yet, so I dont need anything pertaining to that as yet.

Thanks guys

[RWF]

brian enos forum, plus there are some here you could ask in this section, under something like 1k match at ---- and PM them.

gotta have better info than I currently have...none...

Possibly....but ever hear..."sometimes less is more?"

Just joking, I'm somewhat of a smartass, most of the time without the smarts. Most of the guys who know me here, know that. And grudgeingly put up with it.

In all seriousness, there are a lot of very knowledgeable guys around here. Almost too many at times. Makes listening to any one "voice" rather difficult usually. Just ask questions and keep searching.

But I must say, in my opinion, if you are hitting your target at 200 yards, you are well on your way .

I think there was a recent post about a long range shootin class here as well.

Good Luck.

this is on page 5 of long guns there are the people you need

1K and my AR

I'm going to the Smyrna AS

Ha, was kind of expecting that. After doing some searching, I found some range info and a few youtube videos of people shooting there. I live within ear shot of Charlie Hafner's range, but have wanted to shoot out past 100 years and didn't know where to go. Sounds like this is the place! Thanks for the info!

You should attend this clinic in Oak Ridge. It is designed for new long-range shooters:

Great advice!

[Guest tswenka]

Thanks guys much appreciated

Some of those ORSA boys really know their stuff. It would be hard to soak it all up.

[RWF]

if it is the same bunch i shot with YES, they do. and very helpful.

if you wish to get looks of horror out of them, them you are or want to use a 20" 5.56 AR with factory ammo! looking back in was funny, but at the time i was worried,

i promised Morpheus i would not be back until i had a more suitable gun. so i would not scare his other shooters.

but i did pull it off with only 2 misses.

[RobertNashville]

What would be a more "suitable" gun?

[mikegideon]

What would be a more "suitable" gun?

6mm Dasher with a 26-28" barrel.

BTW... I'm going to try to make the haul with my 24" .223 and 82 grain (and 80.5 grain) Berger Hybids. Should do OK in low winds. Still don't expect it to stand up to the Dasher. Okey was bustin' clays with his dasher at 1000 last weekend. That thing rocks when the wind dies down.

Well, aside from 5.56 I have an 300 Win Mag and a 308 Winchester; I guess I'd be okay with one of those.
