Product Description
If you are hunting wary prey with a strong sense of smell on terrain with long site lines, you probably aren’t going to get many close-up shots. Learning how to shoot your rifle accurately and consistently from a long range is the only way you are going to have success in the field. Hunter’s Guide to Long-Range Shooting explains all the variables involved in the science of shooting from long distances. Early chapters explore the colorful history of shooting, and sections on technical subjects such as ballistics are written in plain English that can be easily understood by even the most casual shooter. The book gives a detailed overview of rifles and ammunition, sights and scopes, and includes extensive ballistics tables with data on cartridges for deer and elk at various distances. From choosing barrels, bullets, and sights to understanding optics, you’ll be prepared for that shot you always thought was impossible. And you’ll make it.

The same book as others, 2006-10-30
I have owned three different books by Wayne Van Zwoll and although I admire him and share many hunting approaches with him this book was a mostly a rehash of material found in "The Hunter's Guide to Accurate Shooting: How to Hit What You're Aiming at in Any Situation" and "The ABCs of Accurate Shooting". Out of the entire 464 pages there is a single skinny chapter on general comments about shooting positions with no good picture of shooting from the sitting position or any real discussion about getting into a sling much less a whelan-type sling. The final chapter is his recommendations for customizing gunsmiths but there is no discussion of what improvements would possibly be cost-effective for a hunter. There is also no discussion about how to tell if a rifle that you pick up off the shelf fits your particular build. The discussion on ballistics in various situations and recommendations of cartridges/rifles in various situations I did find helpful. If you're looking for history of long-rang shooting, you've found it in the first 5 chapters of this book. But then again it's also in the two previously mentioned books. If you don't have a copy of the other two books, pick this one up as it's the best of the three. If you do have a copy, save your money as >50% of what's in the book(s) you already have is in this one.

Long Range???, 2006-10-12
this book was very disappointing. I am a huge fan of Wayne van Zwoll, but I was highly disappointed. His idea of long range is 400 yards and closer. Just past Max point blank range. A lot of the book is useless ballistic tables. It has a good coverage of the history of longrange gun makers. Don't buy it if you have any real long range experience at all. not worth the money.
