Customer Review: What can and cannot be done when targetshooting over 1000 yards
Summary: 3 Stars
This book covers a lot of historical stories, very interesting and a nice way to warm you up for the problems that arise when shooting over long distances. The complex chain of chamber, bolt, barrel, cartridge, bullet (weight, shape), powder, external factors as wind, humidity, mirage, rain, sights (telecope, leaf&blade) the book is very clear in what to overcome. Written from a civilian perspective, a sportsman approach, this is about hitting material targets, numbers, shooting for points in competitions. No hints to sniping or hard-target interdiction.
All kind of hand made or hand-enhanced guns come into view and the way to handle them. The ammo, .50 or the Lapua or handloader-ammo, it is discussed. If you are searching for a hands-on course, a Field Manual on "how to" you'll be disappointed. If you like gun-related stories that boggle the imagination, shooting targets that you can hardly see with you naked eye, then this is for you. If you seek an overview of what's out there concerning tools of this trade, you'll find enough to inform and amuse you. The writing invites to read on and on. The book gave me a few days of pleasant updating my knowledge.
