Shoot Like a Sniper: 10 Tips to Help Your Long-Range Shooting

Shoot Like a Sniper: 10 Tips to Help Your Long-Range Shooting

It’s not often that seasoned hunters would listen to a 26-year-old tell them how to shoot better. Heck, most of us kill whitetails with guns older than that. However, Staff Sergeant George Reinas is not just a young sniper for the U.S. Air Force. For the past five years he has been instructing our flyboy snipers on how to shoot better. Here’s what you can do to shoot more like Reinas and our military’s elite.

Collect Data
“The most important aspect of being on the range is not to shoot but to collect data on the rifle. We record data with every shot, so we know what our gun will do under every condition. We will then use this DOPE (Data Of Previous Engagements) book as a reference before every shot.”

Shoot Dirty
“Snipers prefer to shoot dirty guns. In other words, we will not clean our rifles for 200 to 300 rounds. Leave that rifle dirty for the whole season!”

Squeeze on the Pause
“I like to shoot on the respiratory pause on the down breath. I take three deep breaths. Once I let all my air out on that last exhale, that 1- to 3-second pause is the money spot where I want to take my shot.”

Follow Through
“Obviously you want to have a slow, steady squeeze to the rear until your shot breaks. Certainly don’t jerk. But what many don’t realize is that follow-through is everything. Once the shot breaks, continue that squeeze to the rear and then release the trigger slowly to the front.”

Zero to a Higher Standard
“A lot of hunters settle for a gun that’s not quite zeroed. Snipers do not consider a gun zeroed until we get three consecutive rounds within a 1-inch square at 100 yards. Do not settle for less.”

Get Out of Sight
“Our primary role on the battlefield is reconnaissance and intelligence gathering. In order to do this, we have to go to the extreme with camo. We use handmade ghillie suits that incorporate natural vegetation from the environments in which we operate.”

Study the Wind
“Remember, wind is never constant. The most important wind consideration for a sniper is wind at two-thirds of the way to the target. There can be multiple wind directions and speeds between you and a target. You have to recognize these and make the right adjustments.”

Know Your Bullet
“We use 175-grain Sierra MatchKings, where the average hunter is going to use some kind of ballistic-tip ammunition. These bullets aren’t as accurate, so you need to do some testing and find the best bullet for your firearm.”

Learn From the Kick
“If you are shooting a .308, or something of comparable recoil, the kick of the gun will tell you what you are doing wrong. Every time a sniper shoots, he wants the gun to come straight back into him. The scope should fall right back on target—that means your fundamentals are perfect.”

Dial It, Or Mil It?
“There are two ways to take long shots. For quick engagements, we use a 500-yard zero and reference the reticle for the hold over or hold under. However, if I want to take a 1,000-yard shot and I have time, I’ll consult my dope and dial in my 1,000-yard range for a first-round hit.”

Guns Welcome at These Restaurants

Guns Welcome at These Restaurants
Lauren Boebert, mother of four and owner of the Shooters Grill in Rifle, Colo., didn’t plan on becoming the poster girl for open-carry gun laws.

But after a man died violently in the alley behind her grill last year, she started packing a pistol at her restaurant.

“I’m a small girl and I wanted to protect myself, my employees and my customers, if needed,” said Boebert, who waits tables with a Springfield Xd sub compact semiautomatic handgun holstered to her hip. She also allows other waitresses and customers to openly carry their guns in her restaurant.

The Shooters Grill is not alone. Other restaurants around the country are celebrating openly carrying a firearm in public by offering a discount to customers who bring their guns, or by selling tchotchkes that declare their support for guns.

“Guns are welcome on the premises,” read the T-shirts and coffee cups peddled on the web site of Shiloh Brew and Chew in Maryville, Tenn. “Please keep all weapons holstered unless need arises. In such case, judicious marksmanship is appreciated.”

Other restaurants, including All Around Pizza and Deli in Virginia Beach, Va., Bergeron’s Boudin and Cajun Meats of Port Allen, La., and The Cajun Experience in Leesburg, Va., are offering discounts to pistol-packing patrons.

“If you’re exercising your Second Amendment rights, you get 10% off,” said Bryan Crosswhite, who hosts “Second Amendment Wednesdays” at The Cajun Experience. He also runs an organization for gun-supporting businesses called 2amendment.

Not everyone thinks it’s a great idea. Boebert and Crosswhite both said they received death threats from people they described as anti-gun.

These family-run restaurants are going in the opposite direction of corporations like Target (TGT), Starbucks (SBUX), Chipotle (CMG), Sonic (SONC), Chili’s (EAT) and Panera (PNRA), which recently told their customers that guns are not welcome in their stores and restaurants.

The recent wave of the no-guns policy at these big chains has been driven by social media pressure from Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a gun control group that was formed after a lone gunman killed 20 children at a Connecticut school in 2012.

Target: No guns in our stores, please

The organization, which joined Mayors Against Illegal Guns to form Everytown for Gun Safety, has started popular Facebook (FB, Tech30) and Twitter campaigns with hashtags such as #groceriesnotguns and #offtarget and has successfully pushed the companies to take action. Currently, the group is taking on supermarket chain Kroger.

The group was founded by Shannon Watts, a mother of five, who says she is a supporter of the constitutional right to bear arms. Watts says that some of the members of her organization own guns.

But she opposes gun-toting customers in stores and restaurants, because she says there’s no way of knowing whether an armed stranger is a law-abiding citizen or a mass killer.

“Many people don’t realize that the guy [carrying an assault rifle] in Kroger could have a criminal record, could be a domestic abuser, could be a rapist,” Watts said.

All this recent attention to big chains banning guns in their stores and restaurant has given a boost to the little guys. Boebert said she has doubled her business and her staff, to 25 employees, since her gun-packing policy was covered by television stations in June.

Sharma Floyd, owner of Shiloh Brew and Chew, said she put up a “Guns are welcome” sign in July and appeared on local television news, which sent her business skyrocketing by 500%. She’s hired more waitresses as a result.

Louisiana Restaurant Owner Gives a Discount to Gun Owners

Louisiana Restaurant Owner Gives a Discount to Gun Owners
A local restaurant owner in Louisiana will give a 10 percent discount to any customers that show him their guns—and not the arm muscle kind.

Kevin Cox, owner of Bergeron’s Restaurant in Port Allen, is bucking a corporate trend by encouraging, rather than banning, firearms in his Cajun food establishment. Cox said he’s frustrated with chains like Target, which requested in July that customers not bring their weapons into stores, NBC33 reports.

“I keep hearing so much about people banning guns,” Cox told NBC33. “Target’s banning guns and these people are banning guns. Don’t they realize that that’s where people with guns are going to go? I want to take the opposite approach. How can I make my place safer?”

Cox said some 15 to 20 people take him up on the discount offer every day.

“I just need to see a weapon. I need you to be carrying a gun,” he told NBC33.
