Precision Rifle Marksmanship: The Fundamentals - A Marine Sniper's Guide to Long Range Shooting: A Marine Sniper's Guide to Long Range Shooting

by Frank Galli

Overview

A Retired Marine Sniper Explains the Fundamentals of Long Range, Precision Rifle Shooting

Precision Rifle Marksmanship: The Fundamentals will take readers from author Frank Galli’s beginnings as a Marine scout sniper to his present-day job as a marksmanship instructor as he guides new shooters on their journey toward long-range shooting excellence.

Precision rifle shooting is one of the hottest trends in recreational and competitive shooting today. This book focuses on breaking down the fundamentals of marksmanship in easy-to-understand methodology. Galli follows a logical order of instruction from shooter to target in the same way he teaches students when he’s on the firing line with them.

As Galli explains, there is no voodoo when it comes to precision rifle marksmanship, but there are techniques that, when practiced, make the difference between good marksmanship and great marksmanship. Understanding the reasons that a bullet hits or doesn’t hit its intended target at ultra-long distances is a crucial element to learning. Galli’s explanation of how to understand and compensate for wind speed and direction alone makes this book invaluable for new shooters.
