jmtyndall Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I've been looking around and there seems to be a ton of books out there for getting into the sport. I'm definitely going to buy Brian's book, because it seems to be recommended all over the place. It also seems like Seeklander's book is pretty popular so I may get that eventually, but there's a bunch of books here that seem interesting. Mostly I'm wondering if anyone owns Perfect Practice and Refinement and repetition, and which they like better, and why. If I could I'd buy them all, but I can only afford to snag two for now.

sirveyr Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Only two...I'd pick up "Refinement & Repetition" by Steve Anderson and "With Winning In Mind" by Lanny Bassham. To be honest with you, I found Brian's book hard to digest the first time through. However, after spending a few years in the game and re-reading it few times, it finally made sense to me. It is a great book and if you ask really nice when you order it, Brian will sign it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old506 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 If I were you I would go on your local Libraries website and see if they have the book "Talent is Overrated" by Geoff Colvin. I would read that before I read anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caz41 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I got Seeklanders book, it is a good read and has plenty of great training topics in there. If a beginner were to follow his dry fire routine, they would improve their skills without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torogi Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Check Brian's thread on the vendors area, he got some blem deals once in a while for a discount, I think he has one right now If you save some more $$, get those DVDs, easier to understand since its visual. Matt Burkett's, 3GM (and 3GM2). I have M. Seeklanders books, also S. Andersons. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleforte78 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 +1 for Steve Anderson's "Refinement and Repetition" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Wallace Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Another +1 for Steve's book, I just started with it and I'm really liking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyburg Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) I have picked up several over the years. Matt Burkett, some of his videos, Seeklanders, BE's, Steve Anderson's and a few more. Sometimes the wording in a book will click with one person and not another. Pick up a couple as you can.

GoinHot Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Just finished Mike Seeklanders book and highly recommend. He does a great job of organizing the things you need to work on at home and at the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E K Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 You certainly can't go wrong with any of the books above. They will all help you. Lanny has another book titled Freedom Flight, The Origin of Mental Power. It is a quick, short read and should be a must read for everyone ( shooter or not). Steve's 2nd book, Principles of Performance is also a great addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellM Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I would recommend mike seeklanders entire program. Get the books to start then the DVD's. This is the easiest way to get a whole program to follow. I have been doing a mix of his dry fire drills and Steve Anderson's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmtyndall Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Looks like there are some blems in. Looks like I'll pick up the R&R and Seeklanders book to start with. Thanks for the input guys. Edited January 23, 2012 by jmtyndall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
