If you are here you might be wondering,
How to use a scope for long-range shooting?
We are here to answer that!
So, let’s get started!
Long range shooting
BCM Europearms F Class rifles are designed for F-Class competition. Snipers are often skilled at long-distance shooting. Spotters are behind the shooter, looking for the bullet impacts and suggesting adjustments.
Long-range shooting starts where assessment and calculation of wind, distance, and other factors are equally important for the result as pure shooting skills. A shooter who makes a technically perfect shot will still miss the target because of wrong calculations, neglecting to consider some factors, or simply due to unpredictable downrange circumstances.
For a standard rifle firing full-power rounds, the target must be more than 600 meters away. Extreme long range is generally accepted as when a target is more than 1000 meters away from the shooter.
Benchrest shooting events are usually between 100 and 900 meters.

Defining “long range”
Long-range shooting starts at 100m. Anything above this is considered long range. Intermediate calibers start at 300m. Bullet traces are visible from the back of the shooter but not from any other angle. Vapor trails are visible from any angle.
Long-range shooting requires experience and skill. A professional shooter can hit a target at any distance, but he needs the practice to do it consistently. In some cases, weather conditions may make it difficult to shoot accurately.
Spotting scopes are often used to observe hits and provide sight corrections. Bullet traces can often easily be seen on humid days, but also cool or sunny days. There are many possible explanations of the phenomenon, including contrails. The main cause is likely to pressure changes as the bullet passes through the air, causing a short change in light refraction. To see your bullet trace, you need to dial down the magnification slightly (to 10x) and aim at the target.

Calculation of Trajectory
To succeed at long-range shooting you need a rifle with good precision, a high-quality scope, and a steady hand. You also need a lot of patience because your bullet may travel up to 1,000 yards before hitting its target.
The wind is the main factor affecting the trajectory of bullets. Bullets must be designed to take into account the effects of wind. Bullets should be designed to fly as straight as possible.
These effects are too small to matter.

Competitions
There are many different long-range disciplines, including KD, UKD, and UKD/KD. A shooter can use a rifle or pistol, while a spotter uses binoculars or spotting scopes. Marksmen can use rifles, pistols, shotguns, crossbows, bows, and even airguns. Spotters can use binoculars, spotting scopes, lasers, cameras, thermal imagers, and other devices.
