5 Tips To Improve Rifle Shooting Accuracy

When shooting with a rifle, we hoped to be able to shoot more accurately, then we will teach you some tips on how to make your rifle shoot more accurately.

1. Make sure the barrel is clean

First, to make your shot more accurate, you need to make sure your barrel is clean. You'll need to use gun cleaning rods and jags to push the solvent-soaked patch through the barrel in a back-and-forth scrubbing motion. Wait 5 minutes for the solvent to work, then wipe the barrel with a clean patch. Saturate the bronze brush with solvent and push it all the way through the barrel and pull it out. Repeat 10 cycles in and out. Using the cleaning tip again, run the dry patch through the barrel, flip the patch over and thread it again. Then soak the patch in solvent and scrub the barrel back and forth. Flip the patch over and repeat. Then repeat with clean saturated patches until they are clean. If it's not clean, repeat with a bronze brush, followed by a patch. Finish with a dry patch, then moisten the patch with a rust inhibitor. Take extra care and care with the surface to make sure it isn't dirty or scratched, which could throw the bullet off track.

2. Check the scope mounting and ring

Make sure all mounting screws are very, very, very tight and the ring screws are tight. Applying even pressure to all screws, tighten them one after the other, one side then the other, about one turn at a time.

3. Improve posture and breathing

Practice with a dry rifle at home or anywhere. Make sure it's uninstalled and check again. Pick a spot on the opposite wall. Not too often a day, but as often as possible squeeze out five or so shots/clicks from different positions - sitting, kneeling, standing, prone. Practice standing and breathing techniques to make sure you keep going and don't hold back.

4. Practice follow-up shots

At the range, load three cartridges, then carefully aim and fire the first shot from the hunting position (not your bench), then allow yourself to return to the target in no more than five seconds before firing again gun, and then shoot again. In a hunting situation, you should automatically cycle through another round and be ready for follow-up shots. Make it a habit.

5. Build strength with exercise

Stay in shape so you don't gasp at the top of a mountain with a deer standing 100 yards away. Hunting often requires the use of muscles you may not be used to. Strengthen your neck, shoulders and arms to keep your rifle steady.
