I'm new to this precision rifle game. As such, I'm looking into getting some formal instruction on how to shoot consistently. I've been in contact with an instructor and his advice was to get a data book. Now, I know what they are and what they are essentially used for. However there seem to be a bunch of options out there and they, while not overbearingly expensive, aren't "cheap".

 

Can those in the know tell me what I should be looking for and make some recommendations on what and where to buy, please?

 

Thanks in advance.

Impact Data Books and Storm Tactical Books are the 2 most widely used. I use Impact mainly because they're more active on the Hide and their website is easier to navigate. Both provide free target downloads on their sites and Storm even provides ballistic/reticle hold sheets. Start off with a standard premade book and just get extra inserts as you use them. And just to ease frustration on the range get a cover that holds pens and other nerd stuff.

Can't DL targets, but there is an app for that.

There, I said it!

Thanks Y'all!

Someone, possibly someone here, recommended this book. I ordered it and browsed the quick view on Amazon. Seems like it has good info. Only $16+.

I use Impact too.  I have it in a molle compatible case/cover and attached to my range bag.

 

I like the variety of pages i.e. Silhouette, circle targets, square, free form... You can take out the target pages you don't use and slim the book down some.
