This book is the complete beginner's guide to long range shooting written in simple every-day language so that it's easy to follow. Included are personal tips and best advice from my years of special operations sniper schooling and experience, and as a sniper instructor.

If you are an experienced shooter, this guide will be a resource covering the principles and theory of long range shooting. This is the preliminary book to help you understand fundamental concepts such as MOA vs Mils and external ballistics, that can be like a trusted resource at the range.

Learning to shoot long range isn't that difficult. Once you understand the basics, you can start to master your technique and you'll be hitting targets in no time.

The author has a series of online instructional videos known for their ability to take seemingly complex areas of long range shooting and breaking them down so that they're easy to understand. This book was motivated by the feedback from those videos.

The handbook is broken down into three main categories: What it is/How it works, Fundamentals, and How to use it. What it is/How it works covers equipment, terminology, and basic principles. Fundamentals covers the theory of long range shooting. How to use it gives you practical advice on how to implement what you've learned so far to make you a long range shooter.

Ammunition, Demystified is Hatcher's Notebook for the twenty-first century. It's a soft technical document intended for small caliber ammunition design and production engineers, as well as more advanced shooters and reloaders who want a more in-depth understanding of how guns and ammunition work and interact with one another. There is very little that is truly simple about small arms ammunition due to the enormous stresses to which the bullet and cartridge case structures are subjected during the firing process and the nonlinear material properties of these ammunition components. Ammunition Demystified untangles these interactions and will help put you on the path of increased understanding of a simple yet complex topic. This book encapsulates the technical knowledge acquired on bullets, cartridge cases, barrels, and ammunition testing over a career spanning four decades. It is a useful reference for shooters, reloaders, and ammo guys to assist them when they troubleshoot the mechanical and dispersion performance of their firearms and ammunition.

Ammunition Demystified topics covered are

* cartridge cases and case-chamber interaction

* propellants and interior ballistics

* projectile design, aerodynamics, and stability

* trajectory, dispersion, accuracy

* barrel: manufacture, fatigue life

* ammunition: pressure and velocity testing, and load development

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Anthony Cirincione is a recognized subject matter expert in
the setup and use of the Precision Rifle. He is an avid Long
Range Shooting competitor and has years of military sniper
training and experience, including over 2 years of combat deployment
time in both Iraq and Afghanistan serving as a US
ARMY Sniper and sniper section leader. In addition, he has a
private training company that he instructs at when he is stateside.
IN THE AUTHORS WORDS
While serving as the Sniper Section Leader of Tiger
Force/1-327 INF/1 BCT/101 ASSLT, I put together an outline of
concepts on which to train selectees who were slotted for
Sniper School. Another training outline I put together contained
critical knowledge items that needed to be understood
and implemented to allow the shooter to effectively operate
at a high level with his team. Upon leaving Tiger Force, I
fleshed out both outlines extensively and saw that so much of
this information could be extremely useful to the civilian
shooter. I remembered the struggle I had gone through when I
was looking for information and coming up empty-handed
many times. That was the genesis of the Long-Range Precision
Rifle.
THE 3RD REVISED EDITION
As time goes by new information, training, techniques, equipment,
skills, and much more are constantly becoming available
to the shooter. In order to provide the most up to date information
available, the author has gone through the book and
updated and replaced information where he saw fit to do so.
Any area where the information has remained the same was
left un-changed by the author because the information is still
as valuable today as it was the day it was printed in the first
edition and time has offered no improvement upon it.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Long Range Precision Rifle: 3RD Expanded Edition contains
the most up-to-date information and methods for getting
the most accuracy out of your rifle. After discussing rifles, ammunition,
and optics selection, Cirincione outlines his
tried-and-true methods of gathering and recording data. He
takes you step by step through the process of making your
rifle perform to its peak potential through every shot. He also
instructs you on how to adjust for environmental factors and
obstructions that lie between you and your target, and proves
to you why handloading and making your own precision cartridges
is an essential step that is absolutely worth taking the
time to do.

The Most Detailed and Specific Training Manual for Practical Shooting!

Practical Shooting Training offers a layered approach to training. Instead of dumping out all the information you need for your training and then having you sift through hundreds of pages of drills and training information, this book is structured in a new, easy to use way.

There are 4 levels of training with different mixes of drills, goals, and standards. Each level is a self-contained training book on its own and allows every reader to be able to find where they fit in and get to work from that point. The same exercises evolve and change over time as your shooting grows and changes.

If you have never fired a round at a match before, you start out at level one. If you are chasing your fourth National title, you go to level four. The structure allows this book to work for a wide audience and will give you plenty of room to grow as you work through the book.
