Being new to long range shooting, I've been doing lots of looking around for different tricks on everything from the rifle to techniques and ballistics. I stumbled across a series of videos on YouTube provided by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) that cover a lot of the important meat and potatoes stuff I've been looking for. The instructor, Ryan Cleckner has sniper experience with the Rangers and is a natural teacher with a knack for getting the info across in the simplest manner possible. I really enjoyed these videos and will definitely be using some of the material when I take my rifle to the range. I figured I would bring them to CGN to help out other newbies like myself, and maybe enlighten an old grizzled shooting vet. Enjoy!
