Great book! This guy breaks it down for the general enthusiast that has minimal or zero knowledge of long range shooting as long as you know the basics and are determined to learn more. and is definitely a must have for anyone looking to shoot long range or even that just wants to setup a good long range gun. the author has great recommendations and techniques and plenty of experience. I have learned so much from a front to back read and then skim back through it and highlight details. I use it at the range every time as its always in my gun case and I am about ready to move on to advance long range shooting. Without this book I would have been too indecisive to build my current long range precision rifle a Ruger Precision .308 with a Vortex PST 6-24X50 Illuminated FFP MOA optic and I actually shot my first moose with this rifle this year at 325 yards with ease (2017, Maine)

I've looked over several books on the subject and watched a number of online videos. This was by far the most useful and well organized book. Ryan's online videos (NSSF) are also excellent. Good presentation skills. While I knew a fair amount of the material covered in this book, I picked up several new things and finally feel like I've got a better grasp on several others (applying mils or moa in practice for example). Lots of good tidbits too. I already pre-ordered his follow-on book and am looking forward to seeing it. Lots to learn. This book will be spending some time at the range and will probably be dog-eared before long.

If your on the fence on pick this book up, just snag it. I have been an avid shooter for sometime, only recently getting into PRS and thought maybe this book would be too basic for myself, I was wrong. Alot of things I know or thought " I had known" were cleared up in the long range shooting handbook and its not all written like a powerpoint slideshow. You just go through book front to back using index for quick reference. Even my bravo 4 buddies use occasionaly when something slips there mind. Scoop one up, its helped me steadily improve

This book is a fantastic primer for the beginner/intermediate. For the more Advanced it's still a good buy as the writing style is clear and entertaining.

I found the discussion about ballistics to be particularly informative and valuable specifically when talking about bullet drop (The consistency of gravity) versus velocity. The concept became very clear as I read it.

Fantastic book on long distance shooting. Very well explained section on what affects bullets in flight and information on how to apply it. His philosophy is to not sweat small stuff or over complicate things with to much information. Just do what's needed to engage the target with adeqate accuraccy, as quickly as the situation demands. An example would be in making adjustments using formulas. He tries to provide the easiest way to figure things out including rounding constants to make them easy to deal with on the fly without sacrificing meaning accuracy. IE .5 inch off @ 100 yards by using nominal MOA value of 1 vs actual value of 1.047 (or somthing close anyway). That error is not much more than a bullet width shooting .308.
His tactical backround makes him a great teacher of hunters as well. Hes says "I'd rather have 1 MOA accuracy on time than a 1/4 MOA accuracy too late" that sounds like a great mantra for a hunter of any creature.
