precision shooting
Accuracy-focused target practice
Precision shooting is marksmanship focused on accuracy rather than speed, where shooters aim to place rounds in tight groupings at specific distances.
The term covers competitive disciplines like benchrest and long-range target shooting, as well as tactical applications such as military sniping.
Precision shooters typically use specialized rifles with high-quality optics and carefully selected ammunition.
