Hi Guys,

I'm planning on making a printed binder of a "how to" for long range shooting.

Things I'm thinking of adding are:

-Formulas for Wind Hold off and DOPE
-Equivalents and Conversions
-Guides to Milling Ranges
-Practice Routines for Dry Firing

-I'd like to add a Swedish Method Range card, but can't find anything

What are your essential reads or articles?
I'd like to keep paper copies when available, I find it easier to keep track of information and feel more motivated to read it.

What would you recommend?

Thanks All!

The Wind Book by Miller and Cunningham. From Amazon.

This 1000x plus their book on Mental Marksmanship.

Then get out and shoot. Trigger time is going to replace books and screen time 100%. You’ll learn more shooting with someone then anything else.

The amount of info I learned shooting on a mound with Ken Nelson, Maynard, Jimmy Jazz, Henry Rempel, or having guys like Bill Watts, and Brent Webster give advice when I asked as I leave the line, all that etc can’t be put in a book, or learned on the net.
 
I already have their book on Mental Marksmanship, fantastic book.

I live/work in a remote area of BC, so finding guys to shoot that are more experienced than I is difficult. That being said, I'm looking at some courses to take with knowledgeable guys.

The binder would be more of a secondary reference, but I like to review things. So any articles or books are appreciated.

I started something like this when I stated shooting F Class many years ago. Then I started adding content based on things we talked about in the car and on the range. I ended up with a book that I almost published... until an IT guy ran some software on my PC that wiped out most of my MS Word doc files... Even though it ended in a disaster, it was a very worthwhile exercise that I recommend to anyone interested in the sport. Even if you have no desire to publish.
 
Brian Litz book is a good read. Lots of information on what your platform is capable of. And what type of hit percentages you will have based on range and wind errors, variance in muzzle velocity, and distance judgment and rifle accuracy.
 
Miller & Cunningham's books for sure, add in Nancy Tompkins Prone and Long Range Rifle Shooting. Desmond Burke's book on Canadian Bisley Shooting is a must, especially on the subject of cant. Litz as well - starting with his Applied Ballistics For Long Range Shooting. I also like the opinions of McPherson in his Metallic Cartridge Handloading and Zediker's Handloading for Competition.
