Most books about long-range shooting will tell you what gear to buy. This one teaches you how to shoot.
Dead Reckoning grew out of a simple observation: there is no shortage of equipment reviews and ballistic theory online, but genuinely useful instruction that builds real marksmanship from the ground up is hard to find. This book is the attempt to close that gap.
The material draws directly from Special Operations sniper training and years of field hunting experience. It covers everything a serious shooter needs - shot mechanics, ballistics, wind reading, field craft, DOPE management, sniper craft, long-range hunting ethics, and a training program built around real performance improvement - organized the way a good instructor teaches, from fundamentals outward.
Two audiences will find this useful. The long-range hunter who wants to make cleaner, more ethical shots at distance. And the precision shooter who approaches marksmanship as a discipline with a standard worth maintaining.
The chapters are short and direct. The information is field-tested. There is no filler.
If you are serious about becoming a more accurate, more capable shooter, this book was written for you.
