Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'No Fail Rifle' class about?

Chuck Pressburg's 'No Fail Rifle' class focuses on practical rifle marksmanship, emphasizing real-world ballistics, understanding height over bore's impact on zeroing, and learning to apply accurate holds. It teaches shooters to collect their own data and mitigate zero shift from various shooting platforms.

How does height over bore affect rifle zeroing?

Height over bore significantly impacts a rifle's trajectory. Even with identical rifles and ammunition, different optic mounts (e.g., Unity FAST vs. 1.54" mount) can result in vastly different bullet impacts at distance, making it crucial to understand this factor for accurate zeroing.

What causes zero shift in rifles?

Zero shift can be caused by mechanical stress induced on the rifle when using different support methods like bipods, barricades, or shooting off a magazine. Free-float barrels, while beneficial for harmonics, can still experience shift if the rail system is torqued excessively.

Why is collecting actual bullet impact data important for rifle shooters?

Collecting actual bullet impact data on paper targets is vital because it provides real-world feedback on your rifle's performance with your specific ammunition and setup. This is more reliable than relying solely on ballistic app algorithms and helps in understanding external ballistics and holdover requirements.
