What experts say
Cleckner’s beginner-friendly approach to long range shooting instruction is what makes him so successful. His work is the baseline for all shooters when it comes to precision rifle mechanics – no matter where you go or what level of shooter they are, Cleckner’s books are in their library. They are one of the foundations to all great shooting and a must-read for all great shooters.
Some instructors hand you steps to follow. Cleckner gives you the pieces that let the shot make sense in your own sights. He leads with calm clarity and trusts you to take it farther—no ego, no mystique, just the kind of education that turns understanding into hits long after the last page.
I appreciate Cleckner’s no-frills approach to teaching long range shooting. He stays focused on the core principals of what really matters when it comes to learning how to hit targets at distance with intention and avoids the fluff commonly found in the mainstream. He set the bar with his first book, and I recommend all of my students to pick up a copy for both knowledge, and reference material. This second book is going to be an important addition to any long range shooter’s library.
