Matthew_Mink Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I bought Steve's book at the Alabama match this past weekend. I intended to buy it just to be polite after he let me read it in the hotel room the night before the match. I set down to politely thumb through it while 'old man Anderson' went to bed early, and I ended up reading the entire thing. Kyle's intro is indeed hilarious. The book is well laid out, easy to read no matter your skill level, and actually makes you want to go dry-fire. The drills are excellent. I went home and tried a few out and have already noticed a slight improvement on a few things that needed working on. Plus it makes you want to dry-fire, but I already mentioned that... And for all of you wondering, this review was totally unsolicited from Steve, and I didn't even mention I was going to do it. So people, buy it from Steve, you will improve!

kdj Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 What book? A dry fire training manual sounds interesting and I tend to buy books but there's not enough information here to help me spend money I did a search on dry fire book here and didn't find anything. Help ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Mink Posted March 30, 2004 Author Share Posted March 30, 2004 Steve Anderson is a member here and he has just written this book. Send him a PM and have him send you one. His username is the same as his real name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdj Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 So done. Thanks! Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BismarckC Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I can add my unsolicited recommendation for the book. I purchased it at the Alabama match (I believe I was his first sale) and Steve even autographed it for me. The book is well laid out and in the past two days I have enjoyed reading it. I can already see where the material will be beneficial to me, a lowly "C" class shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Anybody that wants to improve would be well advised to use this guide. But, you gotta ask Steve what was left out...as one of our local buddies (Herky) asked: What's this I hear about you being a prize winning author of your dry fire techniques. And Kyle does an intro, will wonders ever cease? Tell me did you include the responses when your wife flashes you in the middle of a drill? Maybe you should also do a video version! Congrats, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Thanks a lot for the kind words Matt and Bill! It means a great deal that you all are benefitting from the book. I really believe in these drills and dry fire in general and hope to spread the word. For those that are curious, it features 38 dry fire drills, and some chapters on technique and training in general. The drills are laid out and diagrammed like stages and each one has a log for you to track your progress. There are classifier skills, match skills, and simulated plate rack drills It features a hilarious foreword by Kyle "Flexmoney" Farris and I am also in his debt for the technical editing he provided. Thanks again guys, SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Just saw Flex's reminder about the flashing... When I first started to dry fire every night, my wife would come thru the basement and try to distract me. We had a contest where, at the beep, she would flash me while I drew to a target. She beat me every time. She doesn't know I have it on video somewhere...If I could just find it! SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Thanks to everyone that has ordered and requested info, I really appreciate the support! I will be in the dealer forum very soon... until then anyone who wants a copy can send $25 via paypal to mr.anderson@prodigy.net and it will go out ASAP. (shameless plug ahead ) One thing I forgot to mention previously is that the book contains the exact drills I used to make Open GM in 12 months...

38SuperWes Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Just wanted to post that after reading through Steve's book I found it to be chock full of great ideas to improve a dry fire routine and help any of us with our game. Also.....the ordering process was smooth and prompt, I used paypal and the order shipped quick and delivered within days... For what it is worth, I recommend it highly...

kdj Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I just received Steve's book and need to add my voice to the chorus: This is great. I had just decided to commit to serious improvement and had started dry firing daily. Now I have a plan to work to ... and one that has evidence of previous success. Thanks, Steve ... and check how I'm doing a year from now Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Kevin, Wes, Shred... Thanks so much for the reviews, I really appreciate it. What did ya'll think of Flex's intro? I chuckle every time I read it. Thanks again, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I used to take shooting books on flights, but about six pages in I'd realize I wish I had my blaster handy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Actually, with this book, I was glad that I didn't have my blaster with me. I did a lot of visualization when I glanced at each drill and I'm shocked and awed by my baseline times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdj Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Actually, with this book, I was glad that I didn't have my blaster with me. I did a lot of visualization when I glanced at each drill and I'm shocked and awed by my baseline times So you've noticed the same downhill progression from: 1. visualization 2. dry fire without gun 3. dry fire with gun 4. live fire with gun 5. match If I just shot in my head and stayed away from the real world, I'd be much better than I am but then I wouldn't need the book Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
