Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Precision Shooting at 1,000 Yards (Paperback)

I thought this book was pretty good reading. It does not really get into good shooting practice much, but more on history of long range competitions it seems. All in all, I thought it was a good book.

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Precision Shooting at 1,000 Yards (Paperback)

This book provided me with the basic information about long distance shooting. There are various authors that describe their experiences with this type of shooting. A good book for the beginner to determine whether this is a field that they would like to continue to explore.
