What's the difference between long-range shooting and precision shooting? These terms are often used interchangeably, but there's an important distinction.
Long-range shooting only means you need to hit a target that's far away. Precision shooting is the ability to put a bullet exactly where you want it every time, regardless of range, target size, or ambient conditions. For example, consider law enforcement snipers. According to a study by the American Sniper Association, the average LE sniper engagement distance is only 51 yards. However, precision is everything in this context. A tiny deviation in point of impact could result in a dead hostage.
Precision shooting requires a solid understanding of external ballistics - in other words, how a bullet moves after it leaves the gun. It also requires consistent ammo, a good quality optic, and a thorough knowledge of how to use its reticle and adjustments. In order to learn the basics of this complex subject, I attended an External Ballistics and Rifle Optics class from Independence Training in Arizona. This took place entirely in a classroom, since it's critical to understand the theory before sending any rounds downrange.
