Which type of Long Range Shooting do you practice most?

[Derek M.]

I do all of my shooting for the purpose of taking game only. I have thought about getting into competition shooting but I need to spend all of my extra time with my family, so maybe in a few more years when the kids are out.

Hunting is hunting! You are in pursuit of a specific target animal. Most likely non-human. Human targets fall into military as well as practice for these human targets or non-living targets of value to an enemy. Practice for hunting falls into recreational. It is basically hunting skill improvement or just plinking. Police is pretty well self explanatory. If you are not a peace officer, you don't belong here. Anyhooohw that is my read of it

I am basically doing the same thing. I have a 20 and 13 year old granddaughters and a 9 year old grandson. They love to shoot with this old man. I guess God does know what he is doing. I learned on my family's farm and then the Army in VietNam. Stay with it for it really worth it.

Thanks for not cutting me down on my gramer. I will admit I am not the best riter in the world I do the best I can. My grandson usaly corects my spelling for me but he wasnot here yesterday. I think it is very important to teach the yunger generation to use guns responsably. plus it is very rewording to see them do a good job and get away from the video games.gun) I was once told it is none of my f----- bisnis what other people think about me but I still let it bother me sometimes. sorry

Well, it would be sorta like the kettle calling the pot black. I learn more from my grandkids than I did in school. We live in a creek bottom area and we are over run with feral hogs and coyotes. I think it is good place to let them learn to shoot responsibly and really bond well with them. I gave my 9 year old grandson a Life Membership to NRA for Christmas. I hope he becomes responsible shooter. Keep up the good work.

I like to sit and prone shoot. I reload a lot and enjoy trying new loads. I just found a new 1000 yard range close by. I like to shoot 500 and 600 yards. I normally shoot a 30-06 for range. I use a .223 to hunt varmets. good shooting ONTXKD
