Basic Rifle Marksmanship

About the Book

This book is one of the few books on the market that explains the bullet flight from chamber to target in simple, easy terms and explains how to be a better shooter. Ballistics can be a tough subject for persons not trained in ballistic science. Most rifle sportsmen and hunters have interest in improving their shooting accuracy, but don’t want to read all those technical manuals. This handbook explains in enough detail the basic principles of marksmanship and the forces in nature affecting bullet flight so the reader can improve his shooting without investing a lot of time reading.

Good luck, be safe and enjoy this book.
