Written by an Australian ex-military sniper, Alex Howard. He spent several years training advanced sniping techniques to members of the Australian Army before starting up his own civilian rifle course; Theory of Shooting. The course covers basic to advanced rifle shooting theory and is directed at those interested in competition, hunting, long range, military and law enforcement shooting. This book follows in the tradition of that course and is intended to deliver a high level of understanding and allow the reader to manage their own shooting careers. You will be able to identify and understand contributing factors, then create a solid shooting platform and progress to deliver consistently impressive results. The book is broken down into four chapters; Atmospherics, Equipment, Ballistics and Shooting. The topics discussed in each chapter are explained in detail with the help of graphs, tables and images. In many cases examples of their influence on a number of calibres at various ranges are provided, along with methods of combating negative effects and promoting positive ones.

The Theory of Shooting is certainly a book well worth the attention. No matter what your skill or experience, if you are passionate about shooting then this is a book for you. For many, gaining access to the training of a subject matter expert is hard. Now, through this book the genuinely Australian course can be experienced by all.
