Book Reviews of Precision Shooting at 1,000 Yards
Book 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.
Book Review: It's a good reminder and referance.

I wish I could give this book a better review, but I can't seem to hang on to it long enough to read the whole thing! Some one always has to borrow it from the last person it went to. What I have been able to read is on the money and good information.
I guess to be fair to the author, I'm going to have to buy another one and hide it when company comes over.
Book Review: Very good insite

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.Book Review: observation
