Just finished American Guns by Sniper Chris Kyle. It is an excellent read. Lots of backstory to the history of the USA in 10 guns. He elaborates on their origins and derivatives. He also tells entertaining stories about their uses in battle. Some of the stories we know well but he manages a unique fact or twist to it. He also explains the firearms that either preceded or came after the subject gun and the impact in design related to them. Very vivid and flowing writing style makes this a must read for gun guys... I certainly recommend it for the treestand or in between reloading sessions...

Hey Dave if you haven't read his book American Sniper yet give that a go. Its an autobiography on his time in the service. Great read I finished it in less than a week.

So sad to see his life end so shortly.

He was a great family man, and a good advocate of the second ammendment.

Ive had it for a little while now but never got around to reading it. Definitely the first book I read on vacation.

 

Its on my list of must reads... His first book was excellent..

I have read both, Tragic ending, helping PTSD Vets!

Haven't been to a movie in over 20 years but I will see this one!

NJGF Movie Night Up!!!

Arbelest, Yes I read American sniper first. Both books are written with a flow that makes you picture this guy sitting in your living room telling you a story, rather than just reading a book

I just bought that book last night Planning on reading it this week.

The American Sniper book was definitely a good book. I highly recommend it.

I thought I wasnt going to like that style of writing but I hard a hard time putting it down after a while.

I burned through American Sniper in less than 2 days while on vacation last week. An EXCELLENT read, and I'm very excited for the movie. Also, keep an eye out for the Lone Survivor(Marcus Luttrell) movie, which is also coming soon.

After reading his book American Guns it makes me want some of those even more.
