Long Distance Shooting Forum Purpose
April 19, 1775 the First Known Grey Rider
The gray haired man followed their trail from Concord. He would ride his white mare toward the column until he was within range, then turn his horse, throw himself off, and aim with his long gun resting on the saddle. The aim was said to mean sure death and the Redcoats came to dread him. Whenever he was sighted, a warning cry went up: “Look out for the man on the white horse!”
The man was Hezekiah Wyman, age 55, and a true Rifleman.
He was later recalled as a "grim, gray-headed messenger of mortality mounted upon death's pale horse".
Why Shoot Long or Known Distance? Because it is the proof that you have learned your rifle and you are confident in calling yourself a Rifleman. It is your inheritance as an American to master!
There are 3 challenges which a Rifleman faces: (1) Target Detection, (2) Range Estimation, and (3) Making the Shot.
:-) Lets talk Long Distance or Known Distance (Intermediate Range Shooting) and not just the usual "What Rifle or Round is best for" stuff. Lets talk wind, BSZ, Hold IN's, Come Ups and more
