Chad C.: From beginner to seasoned shooter there is always more to learn. Spiral bound is the way to go for books that are used a lot.

Eugene: This is a nice book, thoug as a beginner rimfire target shooter I did not find much relevant information in this book. Obviously this is a book for a longer range and larger calibers. Still enjoyed the book from the first to the last page.

DW in Phx: I have been looking for a new scope for target shooting and wanted advice regarding MIL vs. MOA, magnification for beyond 300 yards, parallax, etc. I'd been looking online and the data I got was either too tailored toward a specific scope brand, incomplete, or not well written. I stumbled on this book while browsing Amazon, and I am over-the-top excited by the content, clarity and useful of the information. If you are into any type of shooting, you need this book. It covers ammunition, equipment, and techniques. But before you dismiss the book, because you already know all the basics, please reconsider. It is packed with little tidbits of advice throughout that gives you information you can only get from an expert with years of practical experience. Tips like why too much magnification may impair accuracy at long range, why Bullet Drop Compensators are unreliable, and why to consider different sizes for your scope body. This type of information is hard learned from experience, but easily available to readers of this book. Enjoy!

Ariel: I bought this book as part of my research for my second novel, as the most I've done with a rifle is held one for a moment, but I have a character who's supposed to be experienced.

This book clarified many questions I'd had from other sources, and it expanded on new topics for me. Not only that, I feel prepared for further, more in-depth research because it covered the basics with such coherence.

The explanations were to the point (without losing substance), so it didn't feel slow; it only took me a couple of days to finish it (though I skipped the chapter on cleaning and maintenance since I can't say that makes sense to stick in my story—but I trust the consistency of this handbook that it was just as handy the rest).

I'd read good reviews about this book, and I'm happy to say it exceeded my already high expectations. Now, here's to hoping it's the same for my readers. If not, I'll be sure to have them direct any complaints to Cleckner—I'm kidding! Many thanks to him for publishing such a great resource.

DGS: If you are thinking of entering the world of PRS, or just improving your LR "clanging", this book is a must.
I have read several books on long range/PRS, and without a doubt, this one is my favourite.
Informative, easy reading, some lightheartedness, with some excellent details and information... without getting TOO detailed.
The book has now become an excellent "reference guide"
As the title states "A Beginner's Guide to PRS"
Now looking for Mr Cleckner's "Advanced LRS Handbook"
Cheers

krr: Präzisionsschießen auf weite distanzen ist kein jedermann Hobby.
Schwer genug in Deutschland überhaupt eine Anlage zu finden wo das geht, und gerade für Schießsport -Einsteiger eine fast unüberwindliche Herausforderung. Ich bin aus anderen Sportarten, (Trap, mehrdistanz Kurzwaffe in diese Disziplin gekommen) Die Kosten für ein Longrange System - beginnend von der Waffe, Optik, Spektiv, sonstige Ausrüstung liegen oft im unteren 5 stelligen Bereich, die "Betriebskosten an Munition" sind ebenfalls nicht ohne.
Dabei sind so viele Sachen zu beachten, vom eigenen Setup, Auswahl der Waffe, Ausrüstung, - Wind, Absehen, Zieleinschätzung, Entfernung, Rechnen, Wind, Geographische Lage, Verhältnis zum Ziel, Coreolis Kräfte etc. Alle diese Themen werden im Buch hervorragend und auch für Nicht-Nativ Englisch sprechende - gut und verständlich erklärt. Klar ist - wer das Buch liest - ende zu ende - ist trotzdem noch nicht einfach Long Range Schütze. Aber - ich finde ERST Durchlesen, dann mit Spezialisten die geeignete Ausrüstung wählen und dann auf einen Lehrgang gehen mit praktischen Übungen. - Anfangen auf 300, 500 .. 800 etc.

Dieses Vorgehen vermeidet sehr teure...
