For those who don't know, Glen is a High Master shooter and did it with the AR15. As the book's title says, it is strongly competition oriented; particularly Service Rifle or "Camp Perry" shooting as it is sometimes mistakenly called. He's a proud member of the yellow glass club and it comes through in this book. It is HEAVY with details, too many to list here.

He covers building, shooting, and maintaining a Service Rifle from the ground up. There are chapters on magazines, handloading, and ancillary gear. All of it is written in Glen's easy to read style that has been featured in shooting magazines ranging from American Rifleman to Precision Shooting.

This book is the real deal when it comes to laying out information for the serious Service Rifle shooter and there is plenty of data that also applies to stock AR15s.

If you're a fan of 10-shot one hole groups and you fancy the AR this is your book. In case you didn't notice Glen publishes this book, along with a few others, by himself and he only writes (and prints) what he knows. This book goes far beyond a vanity printing and approaches the level of epigraph.

Excellent book on the AR15 that covers everything from soup-to-nuts. Only problem is that it is now a bit dated, being 10-years old. Good early articles from Tubbs, Martin and other experienced Nat'l Match shooters who also do rifle development.

I knew very little on the subject. I read this book and opened up with an "Expert" rating across the course after the first several matches. This book will ramp you through the learning curve of highpower competition with the AR15 like no other. God bless Glen and his gifted skills of communication in print.

I bought this book when it first hit print. If you shoot High Power or if you are interested, this book is a "must-have." Very informative and is a great reference.

If you are intersted in competing in an NRA match, this book will be very helpful. However, if you are interested in an intro to the AR-15, and basics on how to use it/clean it/shoot it, this book isn't for you. I ended up skimming the first half of the book, as it didn't read very well, and had many tangential points. I have been shooting for years, and wanted a good book for a non-match shooting enthusiast. This book was a disappointment.
