You all are my rock. iv ABSTRACT Researcher: Katlin Makina Anglin Title: Identifying Criteria to Predict Army Rifle Marksmanship Proficiency Institution: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Degree: Doctor of Philosophy in Human Factors Year: 2018 The United States Army requires each Soldier to develop marksmanship proficiency in an effort to achieve combat readiness. Soldiers currently develop marksmanship proficiency through Basic Rifle Marksmanship (BRM) training, but significant skill deficiencies are apparent at the end of training. These skill deficiencies remain throughout training because instructors rarely assess Soldiers objectively before the final qualification, reducing the opportunity for instructors to diagnose skill deficiencies until it is too late.

  • 2020 Product Catalog Welcome We’Ve Been Expecting You
    2020 PRODUCT CATALOG WELCOME WE’VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU. If you’re like us, you learned to shoot with an inexpensive scope and perhaps a hand-me-down rifle. As your proficiency grew, you soon realized the limitations of average riflescopes, and came to the conclusion that you can replace several marginal riflescopes over a lifetime. Or just buy one really good one. Most of our customers are experienced hunters or shooters who have grown tired of limitations. They understand that the only true bargain is a riflescope that will last a lifetime–or more–and performs impeccably under the worst conditions possible, with predictable results every time they pull the trigger. Rare is the shooter who doesn’t seek greater accuracy, more distance, and INSIDE: tighter groups. Many put vast sums of money into their rifle, devote countless hours to finding the perfect load, yet give little thought to their optics. That is unfortunate. The finest, most expensive custom rifle will only shoot as well as its optics allow…while even a modest production rifle is capable of outstanding accuracy when paired with a world-class riflescope. But, if you’re considering a Nightforce, you already know these things. Congratulations to our 2020 cover photo contest winner Stefan Eriksson from Sweden! 2 A great many of the men and women who build Nightforce optics are serious hunters, competitors, and recreational shooters. Several joined the company after a military career that first introduced them to Nightforce riflescopes. This brings a passion and commitment to their craft rarely found in any business.

  • Statistics, Shooting and the Myth of the Three Shot Group by Rocketmanou
    Statistics, Shooting and the Myth of the Three Shot Group By RocketmanOU A number of years ago, I showed a shot grouping from one of my favorite rifles to my grandfather, a World War II veteran. “Looks like the sights are out of adjustment,” he remarked, “I can show you how to fix it, if you like.” Of course, he was correct – the group was high and right by several inches. In my mind at the time, it didn’t matter – sights can be adjusted, but look at how consistent the shots were! Five shots, all overlapping! As time has gone by, however, I have given the subject a lot more thought, and come to some conclusions, as well as some continued questions. These relate to the application of statistical analysis (from a mechanical perspective) to shooting, as well as some of the paradigms traditionally used to describe accuracy. On shooting forums the world over, it is quite common to see three shot groups used to demonstrate the accuracy of a rifle+shooter combination (or, as is the case when shooting with numerous sandbags, just the rifle). Rifle shooting, of course, has innumerable variables involved, which is most of the attraction to me - it is the combination of (not limited to, but including) the ammunition, the firearm, and most importantly, me, that decides whether a shot will hit my intended target or become a devilishly aggravating puff of dust next to the steel. The general conclusion is that if my rifle can hold, let’s say, a 0.4 MOA group like the one in my awesome photo (I SWEAR it was at 300 yards!), then I can hit a target X size at Y distance, right? There are two misconceptions here: first, I am not necessarily measuring what I think I’m measuring and second, my three or five shot group is not necessarily statistically significant.

Several important techniques for managing wildlife rely on ballistics (the behaviour of projectiles), including killing techniques (shooting) as well as capture and marking methods (darting). Because all ballistic techniques have the capacity to harm animals, animal welfare is an important consideration.
