Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the NRA Whittington Center's location for shooting?

The NRA Whittington Center in New Mexico features a mountain range running east-west. This unique orientation allows all shots to be fired towards the north, preventing the sun from ever being in the shooter's eyes and ensuring a consistent shooting experience.

How does the Gunwerks Magnus rifle's stock design improve the shooting experience?

The Gunwerks Magnus rifle's stock features a high heel and negative comb. This design aims to manage recoil by directing it into the shooter's body rather than their face, leading to a more pleasant shooting experience and reducing the jarring 'pop' often felt with other rifles.

What hunting technique was used to harvest the elk?

The primary hunting technique employed was 'spot and stalk.' This method involves spotting the elk from a distance, planning an approach, and moving incrementally while observing the animal and terrain, often involving periods of stopping and waiting to ensure a clear path.

What advice is given for managing anxiety during a critical hunting shot?

During high-stakes moments, it's crucial to manage anxiety by taking deep breaths and staying calm. The instructors emphasized not rushing the shot and waiting for the perfect moment, even when the heart is pounding, to ensure accuracy and an ethical harvest.
