This is the first of Brian's books which list the good as well as the bad and what works and what doesn't. The other two that I have gotten with him as as author put me to sleep. They did not condemn any range finder, barrel maker, bullet etc. This book does all of what I'm saying and for that reason, I like it much better than the others. I now know what to spend my time on and what to buy. I would recommend this Vol. II to anyone who wants to get ahead in long range shooting and competition. Allen J Elliott

Excellent guide to beginner as well as more advanced students of the precision rifle game. Marcus has given the newbie's something they can refer to again and again. I recommend to all levels of the sport, hobbyist, or hunter that wants to build on a solid platform, pun intended. Get some-

This e-book provides a great starting point, and is an excellent resource for the beginning range or club that is creating or updating their range rules and procedures.

Knowing that the author Alex Haddox has been involved in Marital Arts, shooting, and personal safety for a long time I was pleased to discover that he has published an e-book on developing standards and procedures for range operations. Although this tome may not interest the casual reader, anyone who is involved with the management of a shooting range can benefit from its contents.

The index is concise and complete, covering most topics that range cadre need to be aware of to run the range, keep people safe, handle basic situations and emergencies, and understand issues of potential liability. The e-book also helps you establish proper documentation practices to maintain the range manual as a living document.

Topics include emergency and evacuation plans, record keeping, and opening and closing of the range. These are all important themes to cover when establishing range policies. In addition, several basic sample forms are provided for general activities and emergencies.
I am the president of a shooting club with 50 members. Our club was just about to go through a process to update our standards and procedures, when I came across Alex's e-book and ordered it immediately.

The only reason I didn't award 5 stars was because it wasn't as complete and detailed as I would have hoped for my purposes. As I already have a set of range rules, I was looking for a tips on a better way to organize our existing manual, and more detail around range operations that I might not have considered or been aware of.

The e-book it is a good general overview. I would also like to see a paper version with the addition of more templates and forms to make the process of developing SOP's more turnkey.  It is not easy to find information on this topic and I am glad to see that Alex Haddox has made available a concise manual to help with the process of developing or improving range procedures.

What I liked:
* Lots of great pictures and illustrations on proper presentation, weapon malfunction clearing, shooting techniques, etc.
* The combat triad: Gun Handling, Marksmanship, and Mindset.
* Survival Stress Management - teaches you to be aware of your surroundings at all times. If all possible you must avoid dangers by not placing yourself into a place or situation you cannot get out of. Be prepared, not paranoid is the motto.
* I like the shooting fundamentals about the dominant eye, etc. I always thought I was right eye dominant, but after applying the techniques described in this book, I found out that I was left eye dominant.
* There is a great emphasis on safety. A bullet once fired, cannot be taken back. There is no do-over. You must be 100% sure of your target before you take a shot.
* The shooting techniques are really displayed nicely because of the pictures. It makes it easier to follow weapon malfunction drills, shooting positions, combat marksmanship, low light shooting, etc.
This is a good reference book for pistol shooting. The book shows techniques that work, no sugar coating and no exaggerated Hollywood style shooting. The author is very knowledgeable and is experienced in his trade.

This book is an update to Bruce Canfield's previous "'03 Springfield"  1989 and is, in my opinion the most helpful for those just developing an interest in the U.S. Rifle Model of 1903.  It is well laid out and simple to understand.  Like most works on the M1903 rifle there are errors and there are also much larger and more complete works - at a higher price - available to those who decide to do some serious research, but for the entry level aficionado, this may be the best first book currently available in the marketplace.  I have spoken with Bruce on a number of occasions and always found him to be helpful and a gentleman.  I doubt you will regret having this book in your library.

Since I already own a few books on the garand, there were two that had to be part of my library: The Book of the Garand and Hatcher's Notebook.

The first book describes the events that led to the adaption of the M1 Garand. It was written after the war by the man who did part of the testing of all candidates and helped improving it to the level that won the respect of men like Patton.

Although it was written 60 years ago, it is very easy to read and gives a good insight in the ways a new firearm is selected. It is no wonder that in some case the best is not chosen, or it's a wonder the right rifle is chosen!
If you're looking for detailed decriptions of parts or the tuning tips there are better choices (i.e.
Complete Guide to the M1 Garand and the M1 Carbine, or Kuhnhausen's Shopmanual).

But for any Garand afficionado this is a must have book.

This is a really good book to read for anyone who enjoys shooting and wishes to be a better shot.  It goes through all the techniques to fine tune your shooting skills.  It is pretty much the bible for understanding the proper way to shoot.  You will find that over the years your methods have created issues with you progressing in developing your shooting skills.  This book gets you back on track...if you're serious about being a excellent shot.  Easy to read with good illustrations for all years of shooters.  I recommend it as a good read and start to getting you to the level you need to be in handling a firearm.

Ok, so this book is not most the exciting read in the world.  If you want a gripping book that involves Mosin-Nagants, I recommend _Enemy at the Gates_.  On the other hand, if you want to learn how to shoot a Mosin accurately, then this is the book for you.  It contains a parts list, instructions for dis-assembly and cleaning, instructions for zeroing the rifle (a 15 cm group is the Russian Army minimum standard. a bit tighter for sniper rifles), and instructions for shooting it on the battlefield with the iron sights.  An appendix describes how to use all three of the sniper variants in service at the time this manual was written, and an appendix written by the translator covers basic gun safety for the novice shooter.  The translator has added line drawing illustrations and provided Imperial conversions for most metric measurements.

Good book for learning USPSA shooting from the fundamentals of accuracy all the way to the top of the competition.  Fun reading without many wasted words.  It's hard work and for example, Ben suggests 10,000 repetitions or more to shave down your times on draw and mag changes alone; I hope I live long enough.

A wealth of information on the M1 Garand, M1A, M14, and AR/M16 rifles used in completion shooting. This book is a must for anyone that shoots at club level or that wants to increase thier knowledge of the weapons systems. The only thing that I was disappointed in was the quality of the books construction. For the lack of a better word, it was piss poor to say the least! Pages falling out from the spine, and several pages glued in that protruded from the bottom of the book. A total lack of quality control. Other than that, this is a must read for anyone interested in the type of rifles listed above. Covers just about every question that you've had but was afraid to ask. If you can overlook the quality of the books construction, then you will be happy with it. Other than that I would have given it a 5 star rating.

Shooting the Stickbow by Anthony Camera is an excellent resource focusing on equipment and general techniques, whereas Field Archery Technique by Albert Love has a fantastic discussion of the "instinctive" aiming technique.  I'm new to archery with an interest mainly in barebow or traditional methods and have tried to immerse myself by reading on the topic as much as I can.  While relatively short, this book has the best explanation of what one actually does while aiming instinctively.  Of all the books I have, this is the only one I have re-read cover to cover.

A fantastic book to teach myself about the history of the 9mm. Well illustrated with clear photos and drawings. A Triple A addition to my collection.

Max has provided the big-bore revolver enthusiast with a fantastic resource. This title provides numerous resources for the novice to expert shooter of big bores for custom builds, as well as reloading components. It provides a well laid out approach to firearm, caliber, and projectile selection for big game hunting.

Beyond it's technical value, it is a great source of entertainment. Thrilling accounts of hunting with big bore revolvers are second only to the fantastic photos of both beautiful firearms and the trophies they harvest.

As a novice to big bore revolvers, this work will be within my reach as a reference for me as I delve further into handgun hunting, particularly with large caliber revolvers.
