Long Range Shooting Handbook: The Complete Beginner's Guide to Precision Rifle Shooting

The definitive shooting handbook; well written and well put together.Cleckner, puts long range shooting in layman's terms and makes understanding simple. This is a book you can read cover to cover, or dip into as required.The book covers all aspects from the kit through to the science behind the path of the projectile. No snobbery, no elitist attitudes; just good sound experience put into a clear concise narrative.A cracking book for any rifle shooter and one that deserves a place on any shooters bookcase.

This book gave me a really good basis for long distance shooting, and I'm confident that it gives you everything that you need to get started. After reading cover to cover, I found that many things were really ingrained into my mind by the end of the book, and I felt like it was a great introduction for a beginner. I particularly found the beginning parts of the book on the subject of ammunition and the various types available, rather interesting. I also found it useful to read about the pros and cons of different types of ammunition which was a real eye opener for me. Ryan Cleckner really puts a complicated topic into easy to understand wording, and for this reason, I enjoyed it thoroughly throughout.

After more than thirty years as a professional hunter and firearms teacher. I can fully recommend this book.. It is clear concise and written in plain language, it is a great hand book for a beginner but more experienced shooters will also find this book helpful. If you only buy one shooting book make it this one.

OK, so this is a handy reference book for setting your scope up and other shooting relates issues. It's a book that I will refer to quite often while I'm shooting, always good to have on hand.The only real negative I could find, is its very American (Yes I know its written by an American) so some of it doesn't translate well into the UK market, for example temperatures and sometimes distances.Overall though I'm happy with it.

One of the better books on riflecraft for both the shooter starting out, and the experienced enthusiast. Good well presented and factual, none of the myths and nonsense you find in a lot of text books, just clearly explained and practical guidance from a man who not only know his art better than most but also knows how to teach and train people
