Introduction

We started this blog to make notes of how my brother and I are getting into, and learning about long range shooting (hence the title). I looked for a time and found very little info on this matter on the web, and even less that was current. Knowing almost nothing about shooting at long range we wanted to document what we're doing to learn about this and also carve out a spot where people could come and see what we've tried, done, messed up on, and found helpful. A place that someone else can find answers to "Gee, that's something I might like. How can I get started?" We would also love some input from people who actually know what's going on with long distance shooting. Help is always appreciated.

We have several main goals in addition to making a log of what happens with this endeavor. One is to review products for the shooting world. These will usually be things we buy to fill whatever need we may have for shooting. Another goal is to pass on some of this knowledge about equipment, technique and other helpful hints. The third is, as mentioned, to gather some additional information from anyone willing to give input. Every gun owner I've ever meet has been kind, helpful, and most willing to share his or her knowledge with others. I think that speaks a great deal about the kind of people who enjoy firearms.

There are a few things that this blog is not. First and foremost: this is not a place where we want to talk about purposefully doing unsafe things. Examples of an oops at the range to warn others is usually a good thing, but anything suggesting somebody do something unsafe is unwelcome here. Secondly: Anything referring to doing something unlawful is also unwelcome. We will remove any comments referring to willingly doing something illegal or unlawful. We are the good guys and gals that own and use firearms in a safe and responsible manner, and I'm sure all of you, as well as my brother and I, don't want to see anyone get hurt. So we're going to keep it safe out on the range, and all come back intact.
