25% of this book's proceeds will be donated to two military charities: the Special Operation Warrior Foundation and the Sua Sponte Foundation.

This book is the complete beginner's guide to long range shooting written in simple every-day language so that it's easy to follow. Included are personal tips and best advice from my years of special operations sniper schooling and experience, and as a sniper instructor.If you are an experienced shooter, this guide will be a resource covering the principles and theory of long range shooting.

This is the preliminary book to help you understand fundamental concepts such as MOA vs Mils and external ballistics, that can be like a trusted resource at the range.Learning to shoot long range isn't that difficult. Once you understand the basics, you can start to master your technique and you'll be hitting targets in no time.

The author has a series of online instructional videos known for their ability to take seemingly complex areas of long range shooting and breaking them down so that they're easy to understand. This book was motivated by the feedback from those videos.

The handbook is broken down into three main categories: What it is/How it works, Fundamentals, and How to use it. "What it is/How it works" covers equipment, terminology, and basic principles. "Fundamentals" covers the theory of long range shooting. "How to use it" gives you practical advice on how to implement what you've learned so far to make you a long range shooter.

Review

"Cleckner has a gift for teaching. I have repeatedly seen contestants on Top Shot and guests at Texas Triggers excel under his instruction. He explains seemingly complex topics in a tangible way that just makes sense." -- Colby Donaldson, Host, History Channel's "Top Shot" TV Show^Whether you're looking to dip a toe into the complex world of long range shooting, or you're a seasoned shooter with years of trigger time, Ryan Cleckner's book will prove to be excellent reference material. Well written and easy to understand, it covers all the essential topics that a well rounded shooter needs to master. --Iain Harrison, Editor, Recoil Magazine

GREAT Book - A Great Read by Mr. Cleckner

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 15, 2023

Verified Purchase

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

AMAZING BOOK!

This is an OK book the downfall on a lot of their stuff is when they they talk about very basic knowledgement. He does state he’s making another book which is fine and dandy but I have not seen it yet. If you are new to reloading I really recommend this if you are someone who’s been doing it for a very long time I probably would look at a different book. Out of the whole book I learned about five new things to look at and try a different way.

Clear concise information. Presented in a very clear easy to understand way. Being a veteran shooter himself he presents both his techniques and other standard pro techniques. Lots of info. And it is no just a boring tech manual. The author makes this whole sport/hobby an interesting read!

I was given this as a gift for Father's day. I had it on my Amazon wish list for some time and one of the kids got it for me. I have been studying, shooting, reloading, for some time now so a good portion was what I knew already. I still read it all and did enjoy it. I did learn lots and will be keeping it close to keep referring back to some of the newer ideas I learned. I also have watched some of Ryan's youtube videos which are great accompaniment.
I judge books by: Am I looking forward to some downtime to pick up that book? It was a yes for this book for sure.

That simple looking orange book will actually teach you a lot! And you will have fun reading it!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 3, 2019

No hesitation at giving 5 stars to this book. Very well written, clear and simple but never at the expense of quality or accuracy. Cleckner has in mind the reader and show great teaching skills. The author doesn't just skim over the subjects covered, he explaines and defines with enough details and examples that when you are done reading a section, you have actually learned something and are eager to keep reading. I consider myself an "advanced beginner" but this book will have certainly help me progress as shooter but also as a firearms enthisusiast. I first judge the book by its cover and underestimated it. But even the very simple bright orange cover was thought by the author, to make sure you can spot quickly your book in your range bag when you need an answer for your question. Great read!

Easy to read and I learned a lot!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 29, 2021

He explains this very complex subject in a way that's easy to understand and downright enjoyable to read. I decided early on in the book that I'm unlikely ever to pursue the skill to anywhere near the level he's talking about, but have had immediate results following his shooting techniques even at very close range. I'm looking forward to trying them out at a longer range soon!

Interesting read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

OK, so this is a handy reference book for setting your scope up and other shooting relates issues. It's a book that I will refer to quite often while I'm shooting, always good to have on hand.

The only real negative I could find, is its very American (Yes I know its written by an American) so some of it doesn't translate well into the UK market, for example temperatures and sometimes distances.

Overall though I'm happy with it.

A complicated topic written in an easy to understand way!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 9, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book gave me a really good basis for long distance shooting, and I'm confident that it gives you everything that you need to get started. After reading cover to cover, I found that many things were really ingrained into my mind by the end of the book, and I felt like it was a great introduction for a beginner. I particularly found the beginning parts of the book on the subject of ammunition and the various types available, rather interesting. I also found it useful to read about the pros and cons of different types of ammunition which was a real eye opener for me. Ryan Cleckner really puts a complicated topic into easy to understand wording, and for this reason, I enjoyed it thoroughly throughout.

If you purchase just one shooting handbook, then this should be it.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 10, 2020

The definitive shooting handbook; well written and well put together.

Cleckner, puts long range shooting in layman's terms and makes understanding simple. This is a book you can read cover to cover, or dip into as required.

The book covers all aspects from the kit through to the science behind the path of the projectile. No snobbery, no elitist attitudes; just good sound experience put into a clear concise narrative.

A cracking book for any rifle shooter and one that deserves a place on any shooters bookcase.

Possibly one of the best ever Firearms books

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 19, 2021

Verified Purchase

After more than thirty years as a professional hunter and firearms teacher. I can fully recommend this book.. It is clear concise and written in plain language, it is a great hand book for a beginner but more experienced shooters will also find this book helpful. If you only buy one shooting book make it this one.

One of the better books on riflecraft for both the shooter starting out, and the experienced enthusiast. Good well presented and factual, none of the myths and nonsense you find in a lot of text books, just clearly explained and practical guidance from a man who not only know his art better than most but also knows how to teach and train people
