 Master shooter helps the reader master shooting! March 22, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am one of the fortunate ones. I live in Sebring, where the author of this book has his training site, and have taken courses at his Options for Personal Security. I am a former police officer, and used to do some competition combat shooting; I have also completed practical pistol courses elsewhere, and have read a shelf of books on the subject, so I knew a thing or two before coming in, and what I say now I say confidently: Andy's instruction could hardly be better, and this is the best book, by far, that I have ever read on combat shooting. The reason is simple: as a master shooter, Andy has the experience and ability to teach competently; but, even more, in this book he explains clearly the reasoning behind every technique he recommends. His intelligence and dedication infuse every page -- it all just makes such good sense! I genuinely believe this: Read this book and practice what it advocates, and you will be a better shooter. Perhaps not ever a master -- most of us will never reach that level -- but much better prepared should we ever be called upon as our own, or someone else's, defender.
A Third Choice March 9, 2007

This author writes as if there is only one way to shoot. Well, there isn't but this book does show one man's opinion very well. The things shown here that work are done or taught by most of the shooting instuctors out there so aren't new. Still the book is a good read and does give decent information. Shooting of this style should always be under a competent instructor.
A Good Book for Beginners -- Great Exercises & Tips February 7, 2007

I am new to tactical shooting and found this book to be very helpful. When I shared it with a friend of mine, who has been doing combat shooting (professionally) for almost 20 years, he gave it a thumbs-up.
A Fundamental Book January 10, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
The book of Andy Stanford was very useful to me. It brings all the fundamentals of shooting (grip, stance, aiming, trigger control, "follow through", draw strokes, shooting at move, etc.), explained step by step, telling not only "what" to do, but, most important of all, "why" to do. However, like I said, it's a book of fundamentals. But it won't be surprise if you learn something absolutely new in a theme you didn't expect to. I'm gonna buy other books of the same author.
Excellent Overview December 18, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Andy Stanford covers a wide range of topics: Grip, Stance, Trigger Control, Follow Through, Loading & Unloading, Malfunctions and the Draw Stroke. It's an excellent overview of combat shooting for those just beginning to learn and a great review for those with more advanced skills.
The book begins with a well written synopsis of "Pistol Technique in the Late 20th Century." There are numerous illustrations, a list of resources and practice drills.
Overall a well written book that covers a lot of ground. Stanford is an advocate of the isosceles over the Weaver stance. To his credit, he provides reasons for his advocacy instead of just saying "do it like this."
