UNITED STATES ARMY MARKSMANSHIP UNIT

[service champions]

Two special chapters were researched and constructed with the official participation of the United States Army Marksmanship Unit.

First, a genuine Service Rifle legend, D.I. Boyd shares his insight and experience on the "new" rifle. Mr. Boyd is Director of Competitions for the United States Army Marksmanship Unit. D.I. discusses the turn of events that led to the M-16/AR15 domination of Service Rifle competition, including rifle modifications, shooter "attitude" and training, shooting technique changes, and ammunition advancements.

Then Service Rifle ace, Sgt. Lewis A. Tippie (also known as "Mr. 500" for his perfect National Match Course score) discusses his changeover from the M14 and details the shooting positions and unique techniques he's developed for the M16. Lew also shares his insight and experiences on USAMU handloads and rifle building techniques (he's also a gunsmith) and even hands out some very valuable tips on 1000 yard shooting.

DERRICK MARTIN

[Accuracy Speaks]

One of the most respected, innovative, experienced (and outspoken) AR15 "gurus" we have gets turned loose in his own chapter. A premier rifle builder, Derrick discusses what AR15s really need to shoot their best (and tells how he does it). Derrick also covers load development, experiences with the All Guard Team, and then gets into using the AR15 across the course in High Power Rifle competition.

DAVID TUBB

[11-time National High Power Champion]

Tubb takes off on the AR-10 and SR-25!

The "big guns" are discussed in deep detail by G. David (who used one to win Camp Perry in 1997, his record-setting seventh National Championship title). Suffice it to say that David is way ahead on this rifle... He'll tell you what he knows about building, shooting, and loading for the SR-25. You haven't heard all this before!
