Summary
This book is the complete beginner's guide to long range shooting written in simple every-day language so that it's easy to follow。 Included are personal tips and best advice from my years of special operations sniper schooling and experience， and as a sniper instructor。
If you are an experienced shooter， this guide will be a resource covering the principles and theory of long range shooting。 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。
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 breaking them down so that 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。

An excellent book if you are contemplating precision rifle shooting over long range。 I knew nothing about rifle shooting， let alone long range shooting， and this book was a wonderful way to prepare for a week long course。 After I get some more experience， I intend to read it again。 Its an instructional book that is easy enough to read。 Its educational， not entertaining， but it is good to read things that teach you。

Excellent book for anyone interested in long range shooting， regardless of their experience level。 It compliments many of the courses I have attended and also adds some new information as well。

Amazing book。 I have been able to take a lot of the content and put it to work at the range。 I plan on honing my long distance shooting。

Great starter book - says simply what others， in my opinion， try to add complexity to unnecessarily to gatekeep the hobby。 MOA， MIL， etc are all fairly easy concepts。 Reading wind， elevation， weather， etc。 are explained well。 Would serve any new bolt-action shooter to read through a few chapters before going out and ingraining bad habits。 Recommended！

Re-read！Getting ready to tune in my rifle in after not touching it in about 4 months and wanted to revisit this amazing book that covers all the necessities of long range shooting。 Ryan Cleckner did an outstanding job with hitting all the key points that matter the most。 I am looking forward to his next book Advanced Long Range Shooting， which he mentions in this one。 If you want to learn more about rifle marksmanship， I highly recommend this book！

This is a well-written book for the beginning long-range shooter with valuable information for any rifle shooter。 I am a competitive shooter in the sport of lever-action metallic silhouette， and found lots of good information here， presented in a concise and sometimes humorous way - not the usual dry stuff you find in books of this nature。 Even though my sport only requires shooting to 200 meters， the information here will likely help me to improve my shooting。 This book is something rare for me This is a well-written book for the beginning long-range shooter with valuable information for any rifle shooter。 I am a competitive shooter in the sport of lever-action metallic silhouette， and found lots of good information here， presented in a concise and sometimes humorous way - not the usual dry stuff you find in books of this nature。 Even though my sport only requires shooting to 200 meters， the information here will likely help me to improve my shooting。 This book is something rare for me: a keeper that will go on my shelf of books devoted to marksmanship and which I will recommend to my fellow teammates and competitors。 It's one any rifle enthusiast should own and read over and over。 。。。more

For all shootersGreat solid book that really emphasizes on fundamentals。。。and you can never go wrong with hitting fundamentals over again even if you are an experienced shooter。

Great source of infoWill definitely need to read this one again as it does cover quite a bit of info。 Well worth the read though。

Fundamentals， no hypeThe author doesn't offer any secret sauce， no "shoot like a （fill in the blank）" inducement， no promise of any sort。 This book emphasizes and explains fundamental techniques that one must master to shoot well; he continually stresses how the shooter is the weakest point in the chain。I'm one of those who scrutinizes every instructor to ensure I feel they're qualified to teach me （i。e。 is it worth the money） - it's obvious the author is a top notch instructor。 Fundamentals， no hypeThe author doesn't offer any secret sauce， no "shoot like a （fill in the blank）" inducement， no promise of any sort。 This book emphasizes and explains fundamental techniques that one must master to shoot well; he continually stresses how the shooter is the weakest point in the chain。I'm one of those who scrutinizes every instructor to ensure I feel they're qualified to teach me （i。e。 is it worth the money） - it's obvious the author is a top notch instructor。 。。。more

I found this book to be extremely well written and practical。 As a beginning shooter， the book taught me things that my more "experienced" shooting friends could never explain。 All too often I find that those experienced in shooting never really understand themselves well enough to teach。 I found this book exactly the opposite and a excellent starting point for me。 Awaiting the second book！ I found this book to be extremely well written and practical。 As a beginning shooter， the book taught me things that my more "experienced" shooting friends could never explain。 All too often I find that those experienced in shooting never really understand themselves well enough to teach。 I found this book exactly the opposite and a excellent starting point for me。 Awaiting the second book！ 。。。more
