520 $aCan you make a 200-yard shot at a steep uphill angle? Will you hold higher or lower than if the target were at your level? If you shoot through a stiff 9-o'clock wind, is any vertical correction necessary? Why are we apt to miss when we touch the trigger just as a bouncing reticle comes onto the target? Why is a long-range zero not always advisable if you're hunting where shots are apt to be long? If an elk drops to your shot, should you move closer right away, or stay where you are?
520 8 $aShould you shoot again? What if there's no reaction to a shot you called good?
520 8 $aYou'll find answers to these and other practical questions that come to anyone who's ever used a rifle on big game, or who has ever wanted to improve his level of marksmanship. Shooting accurately is more than putting the sight on the target and pulling the trigger. It is a test of mental and physical control, of your ability to read the conditions and adjust instantly for them, of the routines you've established as habit. This book will show you how to make accurate shots every time.
520 8 $aWant to know about trends in rifles, ammunition, and optics, and why some of the most popular may not give you the performance you want? Want to know why a pre-64 Model 70 commands a high price -- or exactly how one was made? What is the best combination of bullet speed and weight for big game? You'll find the facts here, with some educated opinions from shooters of incredible accomplishment. Ever nail a tossed golf ball three times with a .22 rifle before it hit the ground? Ever want to?
520 8 $aA long shot may be your only shot next season. Are you prepared for that? Or for that heavyracked whitetail that jumps from close cover and gives you just the blink of his ribs between trees? You'll find help here. And perhaps a little inspiration. "There's no substitute for practice," says Olympic shooter Lones Wigger. Practice takes resolve. If any book can give you the foundation for graduate-level field marksmanship, this is it. You'll read it more than once. It's that good. Book.
