A.F.I Introduction to long range shooting!

AFI's long range classes start off with a half day in the class.  We will teach you every aspect of long range shooting from the rifle, scope, bullet, ballistics, and proper shooting positions.  We also make sure everyone knows their specific rifle and bullet information such as twist rate, bullet length and B.C. as well as the S.G. factor of their rifle and load.  We then show students how to take all the ballistics data and put it into whatever ballistics calculator they wish to use, however we also prepare all student ballistics charts for day two.

After the classroom portion of the course we move down range to our ballistics data range.  At this range we make sure everyone's scopes are properly installed and adjusted.  We then make sure everyone's rifles are zeroed.  We teach our students how to properly fit the rifle to the body and how to operate the rifle as if it was extension of their body.  We then show our students how to test their scopes to make sure they are tracking properly.  AFI also uses Doppler Radar to make sure you have the most accurate reading of your muzzle velocity

AFI has several different long range  ranges.  Day 2 starts off at what we call the East range.  Here was start off with teaching students how to "Read" the environment to get an accurate wind call and how it will effect your round down range.  We also teach how angles play into shooting at distance and how to compensate for such angles.
