I am not a long range shooter. Er, uh, I wasn’t a long range shooter but then I got to do some serious long range shooting.

I’m not talking just a couple hundred yards. No sir, those are rookie distances. I’m talking really reaching out there. You know, 800, 1,000, 1,300 yards out there. And, of course, 1 mile.

I hit targets at all those distances. I was using a very well set up custom rifle designed for precision rifle competition use. But still, a rifle can only do so much, and the shooter has to do his or her part. And, not to brag, I did my part.

But I did have a little help. A secret weapon, if you will. So, what was my secret weapon?

Glad you asked. All that rifle, and all my innate long range shooting talent (which I didn’t know I had up until that point) amount to nothing without a solid piece of glass to help you aim. The scope I was using was the recently announced Match Pro ED 5-30×56 FFP Riflescope from Bushnell. Read more
