How do we define shooting long range? Wikipedia defines long range shooting as "a collective term for shooting disciplines where the shooter has to engage targets at such long distances that he has to calculate ballistics, especially with regard to wind."Bryan Litz, Founder and President of Applied Ballistics LLC, defines long range as "where you need to make significant adjustments to your zero to hit a target due to gravity drop and wind deflection." There are likely many ways to categorize what long range shooting means to people, but for the sake of these training materials, we are defining the various ranges as below, since we are going to be shooting long range:* Short range is less than 300 yds.* Long range is 300-1200 yds.* Extra long (ELD) range is greater than 1 mile
