Book Review:” Champion Shooting: A Proven Process for Success At Any Level” by Ben Stoeger and Jay Hirshberger

This is a quick and easy to read book. The verbage is simple and easy to understand. This book brings out some of the overlooked areas of practical shooting.  I first heard of this book through Ben Stoeger’s facebook link and decided to download the e-version for the iPhone/iPad kindle application. This is not a book full of pictures. This is not a book full of techniques on how to stand, hold the gun, or how to perform necessary skills for practical shooting. This is definitely a great reference tool for the practical shooter that is looking to up their game. This book includes drills to follow along with par times that are quite challenging. This is definitely a book for the intermediate and advanced practical shooter. As a competitive shooter for approximately three years, I am always looking for ways to up my game and further my advancement in the USPSA classification system. I believe that if you read this book it will help you hone some of your skills to become a better shooter. One MUST be able to stick with the drills and MUST strive to become better. The authors explain that in order to improve you must be willing to work hard and be able to push yourself. The book also includes some of the most common misconceptions of the sport. This book has a lot of different quotes and ideas that are easy to remember.  They also include what their weekly training schedules are. In my opinion this is great for the average shooter to know due to the fact that you can see what they do day to day to maintain their skills as champion shooters.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this book to all shooters no matter what level of shooter you are. I believe that everyone who reads this will have some form of benefit: Whether it is from the live fire drills, dry fire drills, or from the quotes throughout the book. We have incorporated some of the live fire drills as stages at our local Monday night skills building match and find them quite fun! Get this book, be dedicated to your shooting game and become a better shooter now.
