I see you're from Canada. I have shot in competition at the Connaught Ranges near Ottawa, many times over the decades. I think the first time was in 1982 (gawd, am I that old?) and the most recent adventure there was in 2017 at the Worlds. It's a drive from Texas, but it's a gorgeous range with a lot of history.Thank you for the link FTRshooter it will be helpful as I learn more and more about this long range game. I my self have been shooting for 30 some years but just now learning more about the long range game. It is guys like you who are willing to help others that make this site work so well.
Even after all these years, or perhaps because of all these years, I am learning new stuff about shooting and long range comps all the time. The equipment is evolving rapidly and what was top of the line even just 10 years ago, is falling behind in performance compared to new stuff. Trying to keep up in competition can be daunting, and expensive.
But the skills and the fundamentals remain the same. The best equipment will not compensate for the lack of fundamentals and pure raw marksmanship. That's true in LRH or LRC.
What I like to do is dig into various aspects and optics is one of those areas in which I enjoy digging and learning.
