Test Page

We have updated the “Companion Rifles” discussion!  Paired Rifles describes how one can use a varmint-caliber rifle load with the same trajectory as that of a big game rifle.  The new page replaces  “Companion Rifles” with better illustrations and more tables and a more in-depth narrative.  The matched trajectories, particularly with the same optics on both rifles, allows one to practice the Kentucky Windage and Tennessee Elevation needed to make consistent hits out to a few hundred yards past the maximum point blank range.  Used in concert with the tips and techniques described in Taming Recoil, the shooter can practice with the lighter-kicking rifle and develop confidence in hitting with the bigger rifle.
