C H R O N O — If you’ve ever been to the range with and/or hung out with pretty serious firearms enthusiasts you may have seen a gadget looking thingy, they call a chronograph, fit for performing some kind of science experiment. Indeed it is a gadgety thing and it isn’t for determining how well one will perform at the range, but it’s a rather important tool for shooters to calculate the velocity of the projectile one is utilizing with the chosen firearm. Chronographs have actually been around for quite some time and they give shooters a way to look deeper into comparing projectile velocities using the device’s output data. As mentioned, chronographs are great for a bit more of the serious crowd like shooters who competitively shoot, reloaders, or others who are operating in spaces where precision is much needed. Surely, the everyday shooter won’t necessarily require the use of chronographs but being familiar with it or simply knowing what it is and how it works is a good thing. Chronographs operate by measuring the speed of the projectile as it passes by the instrument and depending on the type of chronograph it can use light, electromagnetic sensors or even doppler radar for conducting its mathematical processes. Now, not all chronographs are built the same so do your due diligence and get a trusted brand so the data isn’t wildly inaccurate. — — 📸 @outdoor_steve_ — — #precisionrifle #chronograph #sniperythings #velocity #ownyouroutcome https://www.instagram.com/p/CUst9HvP7Hn/?utm_medium=tumblr

P R E C I S E L Y — Finding the most appropriate sling for a precision rifle isn’t something that we often put much thought into as requisite accessories are purchased. However, selecting a sling that not only performs basic carrying/transport functions but aids the shooter in a variety of ways is super important. Obvious points to heavily consider are what the main use of the sling will be for the individual shooter, the durability of the product, and it’s practicality when put to use. It’s easy to buy an item after seeing someone else use it without more validation but harder to come to terms with the purchase after realizing that it will not be utilized by you in the manner in which you saw it used. Also, ensure the sling is reliably made so it doesn’t fall apart when needing it the most or even cause your beautiful rifle, or it’s components, to be damaged while carrying it around. Another notable matter to take into consideration is the ease of adjustability, especially when having to employ the use of the precision rifle during engagement from various shooting positions. Examine your options wisely and reach out to those who have had experiences with the good and the bad qualities of precision rifle slings that are available. - - @tabgear (PRS) Pinnacle Rifle Sling - - #precisionrifle #sling #sniperythings #ownyouroutcome https://www.instagram.com/p/CTiIIE6hz88/?utm_medium=tumblr

S H A D E — Riflescopes are invariably affected by environmental factors just as any other piece of gear or item is that’s put to use. These factors aren’t obviously always the same and, therefore, one ought to be prepared to manage the ever-changing conditions. One item to aid with protecting the objective lens from the outside world is utilizing a scope lens shade. If traversing an area with your rifle or simply moving it a short distance, this product can prevent something from potentially damaging the lens. It also does a pretty good job of keeping water off the objective lens if in rainy or snowy situations. It’s also convenient to have one on in high glare conditions in which one may be in a position where sunlight is directed towards you and the riflescope. Ensure to carefully review which lens shade will work best with your scope and analyze where and when it’s best to utilize one. — — 📸 @sunburn_studios_inc — — #scopestuff #sniperythings #precisionrifle #ownyouroutcome https://www.instagram.com/p/CRXDlg0LXen/?utm_medium=tumblr

C H E C K — Always have an interest in the care and maintenance of your rifle and regularly examine its condition. It does not matter if you aren’t employed as a law enforcement or military sniper wherein it is a professional duty to rely on the performance of the rifle and where lives may be jeopardized if it doesn’t perform at an opportune level. Every rifle owner must concern themselves with an appropriate care program that includes checking for damage or wear that may impact its effectiveness. Utilize a systematic approach to scrutinize the various parts of the rifle whether it is the scope, supplemental accessories or the rifle components. Then prior to storage, if done at work or home, give a brief once over and conduct a final check to ensure it is prepped for immediate usage and, if so used, that it performs exceptionally. — — 📸 @sunburn_studios_inc — — #sniperythings #beprepared #ownyouroutcome https://www.instagram.com/p/COOLmoor3HF/?igshid=llobrzxnb4tq
