long-range accuracy
Hitting far targets
Long-range accuracy is the ability to hit targets at great distances—typically applied to firearms, artillery, or thrown objects.
The phrase combines precision with the challenge of extended range, where factors like wind, gravity, and projectile drop compound.
The rifle was prized for its long-range accuracy.
In figurative use, it can describe predictions or planning that prove correct over time.
