Long-range shooting: technique, equipment and advice for precision rifle shooters

Long-range shooting is the ultimate test of a rifle, an optic and the shooter behind them. Strip away the variables, master the fundamentals and push the distance – it’s a discipline that demands patience, knowledge and a willingness to keep learning.

Rifle Shooter’s long-range shooting section covers everything that serious precision shooters need to know – from understanding ballistics, reading wind and managing andmilldot reticles, to choosing the right calibre, rifle platform and optic for extended range work. Whether you’re shooting steel at 800 yards or working toward four-figure distances, we have the expertise to help you get there.

We cover technique, load development, equipment selection and competition, with contributions from some of the UK’s most experienced long-range shooters and coaches.

Brands covered include Accuracy International, Tikka, Nightforce, Schmidt & Bender and Lapua.
