Customer Reviews

Rifle shooting

Good reading book. It has a lot of detailed rifle shooting info. A great reference for the new rifle shooter. The book refreshes several shooting tips picked up over the years. Enjoy it.

Another great book by van Zwoll

If you like reading about guns and like hunting you can't beat this author for entertaining writing. How to shoot accurately is not that hard a subject. The things that you need to do are fairly straightforward. So a little side story about how archers who poached were spared from hanging to fight for the King with spectacular results are the kind of thing that make a winter's evening reading a delight. I recommend this book and anything else by this author.

A great choice for hunters

If you like hunting and are interested in improving your shooting skills, this is the right book for you. A few more pictures would help understand better some of the advice given, but in general it's a great book and any hunter will enjoy reading it.

Complete, reasonable and easy to read

This is the best book on shooting I've read in a long time. It's got a lot of highly practical information about how to shoot a rifle. The byline is descriptive and applicable: the book is mostly about how to hit what you're aiming at in any situation. Van Zwoll's writing is engaging, a rarity for a book on this subject. It's easy to read yet it still imparts information that will help just about everyone. I would have preferred slightly less dissertation on different kinds of cartridges, but those sections are easy to skip and the remainder of the book more than holds on its own.

Excellent read, informative

This book was a big surprise! Not only was it jam packed with great information and experiences, it actually was very well written and enjoyable to read. Most of these info books are dry, many are useless or have very little new "meat". This one, I just could not put it down, like a great novel or account. Even the stuff that we have all seen before was enjoyable to read the way it was reviewed here. I highly recommend and I will be sending 2 of these off as gifts to my other hunting/ gun buddies.
