A portion of this book's proceeds is donated to two military charities: the Special Operation Warrior Foundation and the Sua Sponte Foundation. This book is the complete beginner's guide to long range shooting written in simple everyday language so that it's easy to follow . Included are personal tips and best advice from the author's years of special operations sniper schooling and experience, and as a sniper instructor. This is the preliminary book to help you understand fundamental concepts such as MOA vs Mils and external ballistics, that can be like a trusted resource at the range. If you are a brand new shooter, this book will walk you through the basics, help you make decisions on rifles, optics, and gear, and start you out with a solid foundation that will give you confidence as a new long range shooter. If you are an experienced shooter, this guide will be a resource and reference covering the principles and theory of long range shooting. Learning to shoot long range isn’t that difficult! Once you understand the basics, you can start to master your technique and you’ll be hitting targets in no time. The author has a series of online instructional videos known for their ability to take seemingly complex areas of long range shooting and break them down so they're easy to understand. This book was motivated by the feedback from those videos. The handbook is broken down into three main categories: What it is/How it works, Fundamentals, and How to use it. "What it is/How it works" covers equipment, terminology, and basic principles. "Fundamentals" covers the theory of long range shooting. "How to use it" gives you practical advice on how to implement what you've learned so far to make you a long range shooter. Review: A complicated topic written in an easy to understand way! - This book gave me a really good basis for long distance shooting, and I'm confident that it gives you everything that you need to get started. After reading cover to cover, I found that many things were really ingrained into my mind by the end of the book, and I felt like it was a great introduction for a beginner. I particularly found the beginning parts of the book on the subject of ammunition and the various types available, rather interesting. I also found it useful to read about the pros and cons of different types of ammunition which was a real eye opener for me. Ryan Cleckner really puts a complicated topic into easy to understand wording, and for this reason, I enjoyed it thoroughly throughout. Review: Excellent overview - This author really knows his stuff and provides an excellent basis for improving one's skills. The first half offers an insight into the basics whilst the second part expands on ballistics and giving considerable useful information. We'll written and enjoyable.

One stop shop for better shooting.
An easy to read, informative book with a touch of humour sprinkled in. I'm not a novice shooter, even so, I found the whole book relevant and thoroughly enjoyable. Some of the topics were above my level of competence, but none the less useful (or interesting) for that. I picked up one simple tip that no-one (instructors) have ever mentioned which has tightened my groups up, and more importantly, brought consistency to my shooting. This is the kind of book you can dip in and out of as required. Highly recommended and respect to the author.

Interesting read
OK, so this is a handy reference book for setting your scope up and other shooting relates issues. It's a book that I will refer to quite often while I'm shooting, always good to have on hand. The only real negative I could find, is its very American (Yes I know its written by an American) so some of it doesn't translate well into the UK market, for example temperatures and sometimes distances. Overall though I'm happy with it.

If you purchase just one shooting handbook, then this should be it.
The definitive shooting handbook; well written and well put together. Cleckner, puts long range shooting in layman's terms and makes understanding simple. This is a book you can read cover to cover, or dip into as required. The book covers all aspects from the kit through to the science behind the path of the projectile. No snobbery, no elitist attitudes; just good sound experience put into a clear concise narrative. A cracking book for any rifle shooter and one that deserves a place on any shooters bookcase.

I just love the book.
Nice information for long range . The book it's amazing for me ! A great job, I paid the book with some fear of being deceived but now I even paid more. Thank you for the time dedicated to teaching people with less experience in the long-range... I'm Portuguese and I'm living in Switzerland.
