LONG-RANGE SHOOTING

LONG-RANGE SHOOTING

BROADENING YOUR HORIZONS

Six exciting facts about long-range shooting in the United States.

1 The hunting season in the US is fairly short compared to Europe, for instance. In most cases, hunters have the opportunity to go hunting just six times a year or even fewer. It would only be a slight exaggeration to say that a box of 20 bullets would last between three and five years. It is understandable that long-range shooting is particularly popular here, as it allows you to practice your hunting skills throughout the year.

 

This is also the reason why in the US the majority of

 

projectiles are not fired during hunting expeditions,

2 but in other situations, such as target practice.

 

The country’s wide expanse is very well suited to long-

 

range shooting. There are huge numbers of clubs,

3 especially in the west and south of the country where

 

there are many open, sparsely populated areas.

“Looking for new challenges” is what most people give

as their reason for finding long-range shooting exciting.

They would like to practice their shooting skills so

that they can shoot better during the short hunting season. Another reason for people to get involved in long-range shooting is for the pure pleasure and/or to compete in organized competitions.

 

Another vital aspect of this is also to test new, exciting,

 

and innovative equipment. The ATX/STX 30-70x95

5 spotting scope in particular, launched last year by

 

SWAROVSKI OPTIK, is causing a stir among those in-

 

volved in long-range shooting. Never before has there

 

been a spotting scope with such crystal-clear detail

 

resolution and up to 70x magnification. Even with its

 

95 mm objective lens, this slim spotting scope weighs

 

just around 70.5 oz. Hits all the marks for anyone

 

wanting to control their shots over long distances.

6

Even 20 years ago, a distance of around 328 yards

would have been described as a long-range shot.

Thanks to the huge strides made in technology, it is

possible nowadays to take accurate shots at much longer distances as the above mentioned 328 yds. This is also a challenge to all long-range optical devices such as rifle scopes or binoculars.
