Book Report time. For some of you who don’t believe I was a Professional Edumakator for 30 years, I am now gonna sound like a Teacher....
Here is a picture of my draft copy....do I need to tell you why I have a draft ??
It’s because the UBC Facutly of Ed program directors tortured me with Literature, Prose, Short Story, and Poetry courses even if I was a Science Major. For that, I am eternally grateful. And I have a few red pens around the desk. LOL
So here goes the report!!
A new book to prepare for PR and PRS contests has been published and is up for sale at Amazon dot com (yeah we are aware that dot com and dot ca are 2 different beasts)
I am officially adopting this book as a reading textbook for my PR courses because we have never had a book available for beginners and intermediate shooters alike. If I could write a book of all my PR course compilations , this one would be the one.... Rodney’s writing style mirrors my teaching style and approach. He is extremely informative and light hearted at the same time. Rodney quotes from several sources and experts. These quotes allow you the budding competitive shooter to explore other sources in order to advance your knowledge base.
For those of you wishing to springboard into the PRS world , this book is exactly what the Tactical Teacher ordered. You will not be disappointed and better yet, by having a resource like Impact! on your bookshelf you too can counsel new shooters and appear to be the expert. What’s not to like? Time to help others and pay it forward.
Oh yeah here’s a synopsis:
Are you looking to get started in long range or precision shooting?
Impact! is an entry/intermediate level guide to preparing yourself and your equipment to compete in precision rifle type matches or just become familiar with long range or precision shooting. Topics covered include:
-Setting up your rifle
-Understanding ballistics and how to collect, record, and use ballistic data
-Techniques for using holdovers, reloading, clearing malfunctions, shooting off of barricades, and more
-Effects of wind and other variables such as air density
-How to improve your wind calls
-Tips for live fire and dry fire practice
-Preparing yourself and your equipment for a match
-Mental strategies and techniques
-Rifle, optic, and equipment selection
Everything is clearly explained in simple language and illustrated with numerous photographs.
Also included is an extensive glossary of terms used in precision shooting and a list of additional resources you can use to further pursue your precision shooting knowledge.
At the back of the book you will find several pages where you can record data about your rifle, scope, and ammunition as well as wind observations and holdovers, plus a handy list of unit conversions.
Here are the details so that you can order your own copy:

I love this book so much I sent a copy to CANSOFCOM in Garrison Petawawa through Callsign22 for their perusal since a few of their tasked LR shooters wanna get in on the fun.
You all knew as a former edumakator I would be encouraging you guys to read....well we are here. A book for
LR shooters....
Cheers.
