Ultimate in Rifle Accuracy

"The Ultimate in Rifle Accuracy" by Glenn Newick ISBN:0-88317-159-7 Friends, I just read a great book on the above mentioned title. It is short, and plumb full of tips, advice and teaching on getting the most accuracy out of your rifle. The author writes primarily of Benchrest type shooting and the 6PPC cartridge, but he does give advice about hunting rifles, calibers too. He has a whole chapter on getting the most out of your hunting rifle with many explanations of why shots go wrong. There is a detailed section on how to reload rifle rounds for maximum accuracy, in a most straight forward way. One of the tips I liked the most is that of never resting your front sling attachment point on the rest when you shoot. As the recoil moves the first 2/10 inch before the bullet leaves the barrel, you have an upward jerk that moves the shot off course. This was priceless. He also said that if you use any kind of a wind flag, be it a ribbon your groups will decrease by 25%. Just like those tips there are several throughout a very easy to read book. Take this from a man (Glenn Newick, not me) that can put 5 shots into the size of a dime at 200 yards, and you know you can come away with something. I learned about this book by reading a Precision Shooting Magazine compilation of articles. It referred to this book so many times I knew they were onto something. It is a short read and I guarantee you will come away with something that will make you a better rifle shoot. -Migs

Glenn Newick has written an excellent book about the chase for shooting performance; contesting the wind, fighting the mirage, and stepping up with the big boys in search of tighter and tighter groups. In a conversational tone, with many reflections of the sport of benchrest shooting, some remarkable people, and where it is going from here; Glenn has delivered an exciting and informative read. Whether you are interested in NBRSA, or just desire to sight a rifle in with two shots fired, this is the book to buy. Specialized toward the benchrest crowd, this is a fascinating book from cover to cover.

Where Page's book has dated and become near irrelevant, this takes up. It is not for the so-called "common" shooter, it is for those shooters who aspire to be the best possible precision rifle shooter. Critisize the writing style? Ridiculous! How can a shooter who takes one cartridge deer hunting if he has but one deer tag be maligned for not meeting the needs of the "common" shooter?

This is about benchrest riifle shooting, and that's where rifle accuracy grows. Mr. Newick's book addresses the cutting edge technology needed to make little bitty holes at range with five shots. The practices and principles, clearly laid out, xan be used by anyone to improve the performance of any rifle, but this is about going for the ultimate.

This book is the best read for those seeking information on benchrest shooting. For those like me just seeking to load and shoot with more accuracey it's invaluable. One of my three best shooting books. Buy it.
