beginners guide to long range shooting???

[ckc123]

II'm looking to an online FAQ/Guide for getting into long range shooting.

I can shoot an half decent group at 300 yards, but I want to start to understand the impacts, calculations, and adjustments needed to take into account the windage, angles, temperatures etc.

Any links would be greatly appreciated


Thanks

Where are you located? If you are in Ontario,
you might want to check out www.ontariorifleassocation.org.

One of their "Introductory Days" would have a lot
of the information you are looking for.

Thanks for the pointers..

I have a quesiton on the MOA adjustments for ranges which don't exactly match the distance.. eg. the "calculation" comes out to 2.85 MOA.

is there a standard for this..

eg. you choose 11 clicks (assuming 1/4 moa = click) and then figure out what height difference (in inches) would be for that distance..

Eg. 11 clicks, and the shot will be .56 inches high at that distance (These are numbers for an example) ?

do you always use the lower "click" and have the shot do high, or do you use one more click, and have the shot lower?

Thanks.

I think Navyshooter has a good pdf that he's put together, it's on his website somplace www3.ns.sympatico.ca/coffee/

I hope he doesn't mind me linking it
