[QUOTE="RBetts, post: 341455, member: 22077"] New to the site. You can learn more about shooting long range with a 22 than you can with a center fire. Most important is fire control and shot set-up. I only have access to a 200yd range. If I want to shoot beyond that it takes awhile for permission. With a 22 at 200 yds many of the variables are present. You will need to adjust the elevation and dope the wind. If you only have 100 yds use the 22 shorts that are subsonic. This will allow you to dope wind and elevate for different range out to that 100 yds. By sizing the target by 1/10 you can practice using a reticle scale. for reasonable simulation. When my folks got rid of the horse farm I lost my 500yd range. This is the only way to keep sharp that works with what I have available. It's not the same as looking over 8 or 9 football fields and putting the proper dope to get you there but it does give you the method to set up how to practice. Accurrate shooting is about repeatability. The mechanicals in shooting ie the gun optics ballistics are pretty much a known. The inside of your hat carrier is the unknown. Once that hatrack gets confident with it's ability it can apply the mechanical parts to there limit. If the hatrack is not confident it will be a very expensive learning curve I have 3 sub 1/2 minute rifles in my safe my wife and her boys are 3 minute shooters with those rifles at 100 yds with the 22 they all are better than 2 minute shooters at the same distance [/QUOTE]
