Re: The Practical Guide To Long Range Shooting
just thought i would mention to the guys that got the ebook, if you can access your emails from your smart phone, you can download a 2nd copy to your phone before the link expires that way you can easily have it with you on the range.

Re: The Practical Guide To Long Range Shooting
Two reviews that made my day:

1. From master gunsmith D'Arcy Echols U.S.A (posted on his blog):

Nathan Foster's latest book Long Range Shooting arrived just over a month ago. I unwrapped it from the box and set it on the bench with the intention of not opening it until I got home that evening. That worked for about a half hour. I turned to the introduction and the rest of the day at the bench vise slid slowly off the rails.

I've just finished reading it for the 2nd time. I like the way it is written and while much of the subject matter I have practiced on my own for a lifetime I found other compelling ideas that I want to try. This book is worth much more than the the asking price. I feel it should be in every serious hunters book collection. If the reader is a keen seasoned rifleman and hunter or a novice just starting out the content within these pages will serve the reader well if applied. In time the book should fall open to favorite chapters with its page corners becoming dog eared from use.

While much of the book deals with shooting game at extended ranges the emphasis is always on making an ethical kill and knowing where the individual wall is set for each hunter behind the trigger. You need to crawl before you walk, walk before you run, and train before you go the distance.

I think enough of this book enough to want to include a copy with every Classic or Legend that leaves my shop from this day forward. If the recipient of either rifle reads the text and applies these ideas to their shooting, be it off the end of the muzzle or on the other side of the canyon a lot of the questions I routinely get will already be answered.

Well done Mr. Foster, very well done.

2. From a beginner.

Dear Nathan,

I have just bought and read your new book. I am a complete beginner hunter, and worried that your book would be too advanced for me to understand. I was wrong.

Not just the best guide to shooting I've read, but one of the best guides to anything I've read.

I feel like I'm starting down the right path towards gaining new skills.

Thanks for your work,

Euan, NZ.

Re: The Practical Guide To Long Range Shooting
I have been working up a load for my cz 6.5 swede and every time on the range I was scratching my head as to weather it was the bullets or my shooting technique or possibly the gun as I'm left hand shooting a right hand rifle. I kept feeling like the rifle was jumping to the right and every shot more and more doubt crept in. I was getting double groups string groups left right up and down I just could not figure out what was happening. Your book turned up yesterday and I am only 25pages in to it and everything you have written im sitting there finally understanding what is going wrong and how bad my shooting position are. It's like coming out of a tunnel heading for the light. Thank you for this book it is amazing and a absolute life saver

If you add a pole on each side you can turn them into a wheelbarrow, with the big wheels they make an excellent carcass carrier!
