Accuracy and Precision for Long Range Shooting: A Practical Guide for Riflemen

by Bryan Litz

There's a lot of good information available on long range shooting which explains how to correct trajectories for drop, wind deflection, etc. This book takes it a step further and discusses how various uncertainties affect your hit percentage.


Weapon Employment Zone (WEZ) analysis is a method for showing how effective a weapon system is throughout its range of employment in terms of hit percentage. WEZ analysis is explained, and applied throughout the book to show how effectiveness can be improved thru various means.


Accuracy and Precision for Long Range Shooting is written in the same easy to understand language that made Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting such an enjoyable and effective book. Long range shooting can be very technical. However, author Bryan Litz, communicates these complex ideas in layman terms, so most average shooters can master the subject with little difficulty.

I gave Bryan Litz five stars based on his knowledge and content alone. This book is an excellent reference for really getting into the world of long range shooting. Bryan gives extreme detail in how to build a rifle and zero optics to get the tightest shot spreads at the longest ranges. I honestly was over my head with this book, I shoot a lot but not so much at extreme range. For all of you math brained shooters this is an excellent resource. I could not get through the whole thing but what is great about this book I only read the parts I needed to read to get the info I was looking for. Great reference.
