APPLETON, Wis. – Gun Digest Media has teamed up with leading shooting instructor Frank Galli to publish Galli’s comprehensive guide to long range shooting: Precision Rifle Marksmanship: The Fundamentals.

Galli, a retired Marine Scout Sniper, owns the highly popular Snipers Hide web site (snipershide.com) and is a full-time precision rifle shooting teacher. His new book provides all of the information needed to break into the challenge of long range shooting and then go on to improve the necessary skills.

“For years I have been writing my thoughts in bits and pieces on Sniper’s Hide. This book allows me to consolidate my philosophies when it comes to engaging targets with a precision rifle. Over the years we have seen the process change as we better educate ourselves, so this should be considered a modern view on precision rifle shooting,” Galli said.

“I took what I think is a unique approach to presenting my information,” he added. “I included chapters representing who I am and where my thinking came from versus simply providing regurgitated theories that have since changed. In many ways this is a perfect companion to my precision rifle classes.”

In Precision Rifle Marksmanship: The Fundamentals, Galli follows a logical order of instruction from shooter to target in the same way he teaches students when he’s on the firing line with them. As Galli explains, there is no voodoo when it comes to precision rifle marksmanship, but there are techniques that, when practiced, make the difference between good marksmanship and great marksmanship.

Understanding the reasons that a bullet hits or doesn’t hit its intended target at ultra-long distances is a crucial element to learning. Galli’s explanation of how to understand and compensate for wind speed and direction alone makes this book invaluable for new shooters.
