Today’s 12 Minute Talk features Zach from Mountains, Mullets, America.

We break down some of the biggest long range shooting myths still floating around:

• “There’s only ONE right answer”

• You need a $3,000 custom rifle to get started

• Your optic has to cost more than your rifle

• First focal plane vs second focal plane

• ARs can’t shoot long range

• You have to reload to compete

• The 1 MOA benchmark

The barrier to entry in long range shooting has dropped dramatically. Modern factory rifles, factory ammo, and affordable optics are better than they’ve ever been.

Stop gatekeeping. Start shooting.

Be sure to check out the full podcast episode with Zach, we split it into two parts covering his background and deep dives into long range gear and shooting.
