Groups for rifles are traditionally shot at either 100 meters or 100 yards (91 m). At 100 yd a minute of arc equals 1.047 inches (26.6 mm), and the one MOA group (approximately 1/3 or 0.3 mil) is a traditional benchmark of accuracy. Handguns are generally used at closer ranges, and are tested for accuracy at their intended range of use.

Historically, this table has been referred to as a "drop table." The drop table can be generated empirically using data taken by the shooter at a rifle range; calculated using a ballistic simulator; or is provided by the rifle/cartridge manufacturer. The drop values are measured or calculated assuming the rifle has been zeroed at a specific range.
The ranges offer “unlimited shooting,” with Jaber saying customers aren’t timed. It costs $25 to use the pistol range, $30 for the rifle range and $40 to utilize both.
The M16 rifle is considered to be very accurate for a service rifle. [126] Its light recoil, high-velocity and flat trajectory allow shooters to take headshots out to 300 meters. [ 127 ] Newer M16s use the newer M855 cartridge increasing their effective range to 600 meters. [ 23 ]
