Product Description
The Timeless Classic "Art of the Rifle" by Col. Jeff Cooper, aka "The Gunner's Guru" is now available in an affordable, high-quality softcover edition!Exactly the same size and content as the hardcover book, but with a high-quality soft cover.When the first edition of The Art of the Rifle was released in 1997, it received glowing reviews from every quarter. Colonel Cooper's eloquent and spirited prose is matched with beautiful, artfully displayed photographs illustrating exactly how the rifle is to be used in all kinds of circumstances. The Art of the Rifle is a training manual on the use of the rifle in the field, not at the firing range. Colonel Cooper taught marksmanship for most of his adult life and in doing so developed systems for imparting the necessary information and dexterity that lead to success. In his usual Spartan style, Cooper dispenses with the superfluous and gets right down to the essential elements.This is a must-have for every rifle-shooter's library.

 An excellent reference June 30, 2008
The Art of the Rifle by Jeff Cooper is a very good reference on practical rifle handling and marksmanship. I highly recommend this book. The chapter on the use of the sling made this book worth the (high) purchase price for me.
A Cooper gem January 18, 2008
Col. Cooper keeps it short, simple, and direct. As with his other books, no words are wasted or minced. This is a must have for anyone serious about rifle shooting at any level.

Wonderful stuff by the one of the great teachers of modern personal weaponry, the late Jeff Cooper. 100 pages of no-baloney poop on modern technique in riflery. Many pithy quotes on the subject.
"The posession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truely makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such is the embodiment of personal power."
Cooper is a gentleman of the old school. Warrior, historian, engineer and philosopher; he was a true national treasure in his day.

I bought this book for my boyfriend's Valentine's Day present. He is an avid reader, gun collector, and especially enjoys reading books written by Jeff Cooper. He enjoyed reading about Cooper's perspective on the rifle and how you should handle it.

Col.Cooper has put down to the ages what even the most casual shooter should know.The man has compressed a lifetime of rifle handling,marksmanship,common sense,and pure grade A instruction into a very easy to read and understand book.Here starts the very begining of a first class outdoorsmans library. Jeff Cooper has been there and done that and knows what he is talking about when it comes to proper positions and techniques.I am not to sure that there is another book of this caliber to be had anywhere.
