Comments
Some
serious technical errors in here have been pointed out by some very
knowledgable subject matter experts on sites such as snipercountry.com
for example. I double checked my copy regarding the items they pointed
out then compared what was written in this book to other sources.If
it wasnt for these errors I'd have given the book a 3 1/2 out of
5.
