(ELR) Shooting by Bryan Litz, Applied Ballistics
Introduction to Extreme Long Range (ELR) Shooting By Bryan Litz, Applied Ballistics Introduction Accuracy and precision minded rifle shooters are continuously pushing the limits of long range rifle shooting. Those at the pinnacle of the sport, who routinely score first round hits on steel targets beyond a mile are calling their pursuit Extreme Long Range Shooting – ELR. This article explores the fascinating world of ELR shooting including the special equipment, knowledge and skills required to succeed. The Applied Ballistics ELR Team at the 2016 King of 2 Mile event. Left to right: Bryan Litz, Paul Philips, Mitch Fitzpatrick and Kelly McMillan. The rifle is Mitch’s self built 375 Lethal Magnum that he used to win the event. What is ELR? As stated in the introduction, ELR stands for Extreme Long Range, but what is that, in numbers? ELR may mean something different for a .308 Winchester shooter as compared to a .50 BMG shooter. Where is the threshold between normal long range and Extreme Long Range generally considered to be? The fact is that range becomes extremely long at different distances depending on the performance of the rifle you’re shooting. One way of accounting for this is to consider ELR shooting to be the distance at which your bullets slow to transonic speed. All high performance centerfire bullets start out somewhere around Mach 2 or 3, which is 2 or 3 times the speed of sound. As the bullets fly downrange the loose speed due to aerodynamic drag. The bullets trajectory remains somewhat predictable up until the part when the bullet slows to around Mach ABDOC136 Copyright © 2017 by Applied Ballistics, LLC. -

The objective of the organization was to establish a safe location for general shooting, hunter safety and law enforcement training. A depleted gravel pit, known as the Wilkinson Gravel Pit located 5 miles South West of Cass Lake was chosen. In the fall of 2000 Cass County Environmental Service Dept. approved reclassification of the pit for use as a range and a lease agreement was entered into between Cass County and NMRA. The range was named Gordy Buchanan Memorial Range after a long time area conservation officer who conducted many hunter safely classes in that pit. With a matching grant from LCMR and the help of the Leech Lake Tribal Construction Crew, the initial dirt work of leveling the bottom of the pit and establishing the range was undertaken. Once the leveling and basic dirt work was done, the installation of some 100 yard target backers and bench rests made the pit start looking like a shooting range. Then came a trap shooting area with an old used manual trap thrower. That has now progressed to a more modern automatic PAT trap with an active summer trap league. -

Long-Range Fifty Caliber Rifles: Should They Be More Strictly Regulated?
Order Code RS22151 May 20, 2005 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Long-Range Fifty Caliber Rifles: Should They Be More Strictly Regulated? William J. Krouse Domestic Social Policy Division Summary In the 109th Congress, legislation has been introduced to more strictly regulate certain .50 caliber rifles, some of which have been adopted by the U.S. military as sniper rifles. These rifles are chambered to fire a relatively large round that was originally designed for the Browning Machine Gun (BMG). Gun control advocates have argued that these firearms have little sporting, hunting, or recreational purpose. They maintain that these rifles could be used to shoot down aircraft, rupture pressurized chemical tanks, or penetrate armored personnel carriers. Gun control opponents counter that these rifles are expensive, cumbersome and rarely, if ever, used in crime. Furthermore, they maintain that these rifles were first developed for long-range marksmanship competitions and, then adopted by the military as sniper rifles. Related amendments may be offered during Senate-consideration of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (S. 397).1 The issue for Congress is whether to regulate these firearms more stringently based on their destructive potential in a post-9/11 environment. And if regulation is pursued, what measures seem most effective and appropriate. This report will be updated as needed. Legislative Proposals in the 109th Congress In the 109th Congress, two proposals have been introduced to more strictly regulate certain long-range .50 caliber rifles. The Fifty Caliber Sniper Weapons Regulation Act of 2005 (S. 935), introduced by Senator Dianne Feinstein, would amend the National Firearms Act (NFA)2 to regulate “.50 caliber sniper weapons” in the same fashion as short-barreled shotguns and silencers, by levying taxes on the manufacture and transfer of such firearms and by requiring owner and firearm registration. -
Integrated Management of Target Shooting Scoping Proposed Action 1
INTEGREATED MANAGEMENT OF TARGET SHOOTING ON THE PIKE NATIONAL FOREST Proposed Action for Public Scoping, January 2021 Background The Pike National Forest (the Forest), part of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands, is located in central Colorado, stretching north from Pikes Peak to Mount Evans, and west to the Continental Divide past the town of Fairplay (Figure 1). Given the Forest includes part of the Colorado Front Range adjacent to the two most populous centers in the state (the Denver metro area and Colorado Springs), much of this "urban" forest experiences heavy recreational use. In recent years, overall recreation use levels have increased in line with the population growth of the Colorado Front Range urban corridor. The US Census Bureau estimates the populations of Colorado, the Denver metro area, and the city of Colorado Springs grew by eight to ten percent in the five years between 2011 and 2016 (US Census Bureau, 2019). The combined population of the Denver metro area and Colorado Springs, both areas within a one-hour drive of the Pike National Forest, are estimated to have grown from over 3,263,400 in 2011 to over 3,570,500 in 2016 (ibid). The USDA Forest Service National Visitor Use Monitoring program estimates that annual visitation to the Pike and San Isabel National Forests (the smallest unit of measure available) increased five percent in the same period, from 4,281,000 site visits per year in 2011 to 4,502,000 site visits per year in 2016 (the last year data is available) (USDA Forest Service 2011, 2016).
