During U.S. military operations, the Marine rifleman is among the first to confront the enemy and the last to hang his weapon on the rack after the conflict is won. That is why U.S. Marines have the reputation as the finest combat riflemen in the world. Now, you can learn their secrets. This manual is the very latest Marine doctrine on the art and science of shooting effectively in battle. Its 10 chapters teach the versatility, flexibility and skills needed to deal with a situation at any level of intensity across the entire range of military operations. Topics covered include the proper combat mind-set; cleaning your rifle under all weather conditions; rifle handling and marksmanship the Marine way; engaging targets from behind cover; obtaining a battlefield zero; engaging immediate threat, multiple and moving targets; shooting at night and at unknown distances; and much more.

Depends what you are looking for!,
By
This review is from: Rifle Marksmanship (Paperback)
This book could best be titled Basic M16A2 Marksmanship. The information is great for someone with very basic marksmanship knowledge. Full operation procedures for the M16 are included which makes this book of little use for users of other firearms. The appendix showing how to document shooting tests is helpfull and provides good ideas to build you own.So it you are just starting out and have an M16/AR15, this book if for you. However if you use hunting rifles and are not new to shooting positions and marskmanship, this book is not what you are looking for.

Basic Marksmanship Manual,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rifle Marksmanship (Paperback)
This manual is written for the first time shooter, or first time introduction to the AR-15/M-16 line of weapons. It starts with the assumption that the you have no knowledge and works the concepts of the theory of firearms, safe handling, and then shooting from basic and advanced positions. For advanced shooters, it is at best a reference guide.
So if you want a good introduction to rifle shooting, this manual is an excellent low cost introduction.
