This book is the complete beginner's guide to long range shooting written in simple every-day language so that it's easy to follow. Included are personal tips and best advice from my years of special operations sniper schooling and experience, and as a sniper instructor. 

If you are an experienced shooter, this guide will be a resource covering the principles and theory of long range shooting. This is the preliminary book to help you understand fundamental concepts such as MOA vs Mils and external ballistics, that can be like a trusted resource at the range.

Learning to shoot long range isn’t that difficult.  Once you understand the basics, you can start to master your technique and you’ll be hitting targets in no time.  

The author has a series of online instructional videos known for their ability to take seemingly complex areas of long range shooting and breaking them down so that they're easy to understand. This book was motivated by the feedback from those videos. 

The handbook is broken down into three main categories: What it is/How it works, Fundamentals, and How to use it. "What it is/How it works" covers equipment, terminology, and basic principles. "Fundamentals" covers the theory of long range shooting. "How to use it" gives you practical advice on how to implement what you've learned so far to make you a long range shooter.

A must-have manual that takes the guesswork out of long-range shooting 

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the countless opinions and questionable advice offered by "experts" in the field of long-range, precision rifle shooting, help is as close as this easy-to-understand handbook. Rifle-shooting educators Frank Galli and Chris Way have teamed up to guide you to improved accuracy whether you're a hobbyist, competitor or hunter. 

Starting with a primer on the basics of rifle, optics and ammo selection, the authors go on to probe every aspect of every detail that goes into making an average rifle shooter into a great one. 

Topics such as understanding the elements of accuracy, gauging wind's effects on bullet travel and using the Gravity Ballistics app to get dialed in help you shrink groups efficiently and with confidence. 

Shooters also get the latest, real-world advice on shootiing positions for any situation; the best way to use tripods and bags; precison rifle drills to keep you sharp; and how to get started in competitions.

The reporter who broke the Houston Astros'' cheating scandal offers an in-depth exploration of the team and Major League Baseball to uncover how a heralded organization could become so dishonest.As Moneyball-thinking and Ivy League graduates took over Major League Baseball, one franchise set out to create a new blueprint, to build a cost-efficient winning machine on the principles of the outside business world.

 In less than a decade, the Houston Astros both revolutionized the game and created a culture that led to one of the worst cheating scandals in baseball history, a Shakespearean tragedy of innovation and change management. Through years of extensive interviews, former Astros beat writer Evan Drellich delivers the definitive account of baseball’s most controversial franchise, an in-depth dissection of the way a modern baseball team truly works, from ownership down to the clubhouse—without the usual myth spinning.

 Drellich shows the rise and fall of the Astros to be a collision of subcultures. The team’s top boss was a former McKinsey consultant who lived on the bleeding edge with no guardrails. Baseball players themselves have long sought every possible advantage, but baseball’s commissioner seemed to forget that fact, despite his experience with the sport''s infamous performance-enhancing drug scandals. 

 All of it came at a cost to fans, employees and the sport on a whole. But as Winning Fixes Everything makes clear, “The Astros Way” isn’t going anywhere. Drellich uses the saga of the Astros’ scandal to detail the evolution of baseball itself, and the way business is conducted inside the game today.
