We shoot groups with our rifles to determine the level of precision we can expect from them. We do this to get an idea of how close we can expect our first shot to land to the point we’re aiming at. But the thousand-dollar question has always been, how many shots should the groups we shoot contain, and how many groups should we shoot?
Shooting at long distance has become very popular. Aside from very expensive electronically assisted optics, there are several ways to do this with precision. A BDC reticle is one of them. Essentially, the additional aiming points on a BDC style reticle are just guides – quick reference marks – to get you close. With a little fine tuning, they’ll generally work very well out to 400 and sometimes even 500 yards for big game hunting, or even for shooting 10- or 12-inch steel plates at the same distances.
About this time every year turkey hunters gather and tell the stories of the one that got away. There are lots of reasons turkey hunters are unsuccessful, but maybe the most disappointing reason is because of a miss. One reason turkeys seem to be able to slip through the cloud of shot sent their way is because hunters fail to properly pattern their shotguns. Now, when it comes to patterning, there are several approaches. Here's how to go about it the right way.
In this video Matt, our Ammunition Depot firearms expert, gives you a step-by-step breakdown of how to mount a rifle scope to maximize its performance! From the initial setup to the necessary tools and hardware needed, we’ve covered all the steps to get your newly purchased rifle optic successfully installed. This info is useful for anyone interested in learning how to mount AR optics or AR scopes on their AR15 or flat-top rifle.
Mounting an optic on an AR-15 is a simple affair, but getting it zeroed can turn into an adventure. AR-15 parts come from a wide variety of sources and once assembled into a rifle, it’s difficult to predict where the bullets will go when they leave the muzzle. I’ve seen shooters deal with this uncertainty by pulling the target board to distances as close at 10 yards to zero. That can be difficult to do on a public range. Here’s how to boresight an AR before firing even the first round and how to zero as painlessly as possible.
We do not have that sort of catalog available, I apologize. The search function on our site or the categories are the best ways to see what we have available.
