Ways of the Rifle, out of circulation, "Rifle Training"

Post by ZD »

Anyone know what happened to ways of the rifle? For years I have been recommending the book for my shooters but now it appears to be out of circulation. Is the "Rifle Training" book the replacement? I do not have a copy of this one so before I recommend it for our smallbore shooters I want to make sure that it has smallbore rifle in it; the description seems to make that unclear. I have the air rifle specific book as well so it would seem weird to me that both books would be air rifle only so I want to check. If anyone has this book and can comment that would be great.

Zach,
I have been recommending Ways of the Rifle 2009 to other Smallbore shooters including my Junior team members. One of our adult Prone shooters recently bought a used one in excellent condition online and it was north of a hundred dollars but I forget how much. I just looked and saw one on Amazon for $189.
I have one and study it all the time. It is worth it and I need all the help I can get.

The updated book for Ways is titled Olympic Rifle Shooting and is currently only available in German language. Although I haven't seen this book, it will likely have updated photography, better graphics, and QR links to topic-specific YouTube videos.

Both Air Rifle: Training and Competition and Rifle Training offer a lot of great (although somewhat overlapping) information, however neither cover all three positions... only air rifle related material that can be transitioned to smallbore standing.

I own the “rifle training “ book. It is a good book with a lot of QR codes for YouTube clips from Heinz Reinkemeier. Also the training methods are up to date.
