shooting distances
Shooting distance refers to how far a target is from the shooter when a shot is fired. It is typically measured in yards or meters. Short distances, like 10-50 yards, are easier to hit accurately because the target appears larger and the bullet has less distance to travel, maintaining its speed and accuracy. Longer distances, such as 300 yards or more, challenge shooters to account for factors like wind, bullet drop, and bullet velocity. Understanding shooting distances helps shooters choose appropriate equipment, aiming methods, and safety precautions for accurate and responsible shooting.
