Green Eyes Black Rifles Book

[Amp Mangum]

Kyle Lamb's new book "Green Eyes and Black Rifles" is out. A ton of info on shooting and maintaining the AR. www.vikingtactics.com/book.html

I have it and am very impressed. Pat Rogers calls it a "must have" FWIW.

Very good so far. Worth the money.

Great book, and an easy read. Lots of stuff in there to practice...

It's interesting to note how different trainers approach things. For example, Pat Rogers advocates for lower 1/3 co-witness with dot optics (his point is that absolute co-witness tends to slow things down because of our instinctive tendency to try to align the irons and the dot) and very much prefers Aimpoints over Eotechs, whereas Kyle Lamb likes absolute co-witness with the front sight to decrease group sizes and prefers Eotechs for their speed and robustness. I guess in the end, it comes down to trying various techniques and tools and seeing what works best for you.

I can't imagine anyone referring to "robustness" of an Eotech.

I just ordered two copies of the book myself.

Kyle has a photo in the book of an Eotech with a bullet hole in the sight window, but that is still usable because the reticle is still visible in the corner. He does mention that the 553's ARMS levers are not the greatest...

I've got one on order too. Looks like another great reference book for my library!

For those of us who are fairly new to the AR platform - what would be a few additional books to add to our growing library????

TIA

Neither could I, but it seems the Delta guys like them. I've met several post 9/11 Delta guys and all were big on the Eotech instead of the Aimpoint - I would have thought they'd have prefered the Aimpoint instead.

Just ordered the book.

Looking forward to reading it.
