Cincinnati, Ohio (December 6, 2013) – Long-range shooting requires a well-trained eye to be successful. In Mastering the Art of the Long-Range Shooting, the newest title from Gun Digest Books, award-winning author Wayne van Zwoll aims to improve reader eyes, confidence and accuracy with his expert advice on the precision that goes into long-range shooting.
The book starts at the beginning with the history of snipers from the Civil War era and travels to the present, exploring the colorful history of marksmanship along the way. van Zwoll gives readers tools – including tables on long-range loads for centerfires, a section on expert military and competitive shooting techniques and an analysis of the equipment that does not help accuracy over distance – designed to ease readers into a better understanding of long-range shooting technique.
More than 300 full-color images illustrate van Zwoll’s key points and anecdotes of famous marksmanship feats sprinkled throughout the book further inspire readers to hone their skills.
