Through the Crosshairs of a Scope -- Book Review

[sirhrmechanic]

Any of you out there who belong to ASA may have seen this...

For those who haven't, the latest ASA newsletter does a review of a book titled: "Through the Crosshairs of a Scope."

The review author, John Simpson, completely calls out the book author, Bill Anthony, for stolen valor and the book's claims that prove out to be utter bovine scatology... The tales Anthony tells are ludicrous... And how Anthony could have convinced a publisher that he was 'for real' is even more amazing!

The short version is that this is an utterly worthless book...

And if you think that people here on the 'Hide are tough on Mall Ninja/poser types, Simpson's review and research makes folks here look like a bunch of cupcakes!

If you can read the review... don't miss it. If you are thinking about buying the book, avoid it like the plague.

If anyone has an online link to the Review... please post! I don't want to post someone else's material w.out permission. But the review is worth reading!

Cheers,

Sirhr

just type the title and book review into the browser and it comes right up but not able to repost. Interesting read. Simpson really disembowels the author.

I think this cryptology guy got his head too close to a microwave emitter or something. Most definitely full retard.

Some of the 5 star reviews are funny.

Read the PDF of the review... hilarious.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Let me end any suspense now by saying straight off that this is a terrible book, fiction or
not. Once again everybody talks like the cartoon character Peggy Hill and avoids the use
of contractions. After recounting an episode on zeroing his rifle out to 1000 yards (more
on that later) the author says, “It is good”. Very biblical.</div></div>



<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">One editing gaffe that still makes me wake up sweating from a sound sleep is found on
page 44 where we read the immortal line, “How was are you doing?” </div></div>

I found myself laughing a lot during the reading of the review.
