Good, very technical book on how to shoot March 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As another reviewer pointed out, this book does not cover the more modern Isoceles and Weaver stances, and it spends 1/3 of the book talking about competetive shooting (which was of no interest to me). However, I couldn't find any other book that teaches you how to shoot. I recommend an instructor-led class for beginners, but this is a good suppliment for intermediate shooters who want to get better. It has a few flaws but I probably would have given it 3.5 stars for the information on marksmanship that I was looking for.
But note that the book is very technical - they break down things into a very structured system and have appendecies on how nerve and muscle fibers work, etc. And a chapter on diet and excercise for the competetive shooter. If you don't like this kind of detail this book may not be for you.
After seeing nothing but "combat handgun" and "self-defense" books I was really searching for a book on "how to shoot". The sections on stance, sight alignment, grip, and breathing were the best in my opinion.

This book is out of date - stating that *the* correct way to fire a pistol is by holding it with one hand, keeping the other hand at the side.
 Good advice and training but boring March 30, 2007

This manual is good for what it is, which is an Army manual. It's a little dry to read but the information is useful.

This guide is indispensable for the student of precision target shooting. Note that this is a _target shooting_ manual, and does not offer any tactical instruction whatsoever. With that said, it is a thorough, well organized manual based on years of research and it offers a no-nonsense, straightforward procedure for learning and improving your ability. You can get the free PDF version on the web somewhere, but a paperback version would be handy for the range.
