nick romero Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I wanted to see what you guys all think is the best book or dvd on the market today for competition shooting tips and instruction? I have some of the Daa videos and enjoy them but wish there was more offered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OperationHitFactor Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Brian Enos book is very good. Also Matt Burkett videos are great as well. On another note, taking a course is great as well. If there are any local GM's see if they offer private lessons. The best is shooting a Match with a local GM then one on one or a small group for a few hours after the match/next day. If you google power factor show then email Steve or Rick at the powerfactorshow they can probably point you in the right direction to a solid coach in the Washington area. If you have the money, fly to Florida, Manny Bragg and Shannon Smith in Frostproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeker Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Brian Enos book is very good. Also Matt Burkett videos are great Another vote for Brian and Matt. I strongly recommend Matt Burkett's 1-4 and 7. These are not the kind of videos that you will watch once and then put them in the draw. You can watch them over and over and each time you will get additional, useful information.

You can watch them over and over and each time you will get additional, useful information. You know I got the Burkett video's based on your recommendation. I think it was at a Malabar match when you beat me on a stage shooting a single stack. I asked if you had eaten your wheaties and you said no I've been watching Matt Burkett videos. That should have been a commercial. I don't remember if I was shooting Limited or Open that day. In my mind I was shooting production, but I think that is just to save face.

mgood Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I'm reading Brian's book. I ordered Matt's DVDs vol 1-3. Next up for me is probably Steve Anderson's dry fire book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I typed a bunch of stuff and then realized I was just trying to sound polite while saying my stuff is the best. Why bother? My stuff is the best. Seriously, my first book and a timer will take a dedicated, curious shooter a long, long, way. For some, a video based system may be better...

XD Niner Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I have all the suggested resources above and have learned from all of them. I started with Steve's books and Matt's DVD's. I also have the Double Alpha Master Class 1 and 2 DVD's by Saul Kirsch and the 3GM DVD's. Each is worth watching many times. In addition I have both of Saul's books which I really like as well. All of these should be part of your training library. That said, my most valued learning experience was a two day course with Manny Bragg at Universal Academy. There just is no substitute for live fire training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris iliff Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Gotta give Steve the Props! His dryfire books are the standard for dryfire. I've got them and they work. In fact, they work very well when used as prescribed. Went from C to A in very little time, basically was a B for only one season. It happened so fast it kinda scared me.

Steve Anderson Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 It's important to remember that I was OBSESSED with making GM in Open, and the first book was written around the drills I used to achieve that goal. The book only exists because I got tired of going to Kinko's and copying them to give away... So I don't mean to sound cocky, but the book only exists because it works so well. Thanks to everyone for the kind words! SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schedule 40 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I can't believe that nobody has mentioned Ben Stoeger's website!!! Check it out. Tons of great stuff, especially if you take the time to read all of his short articles from over the years. You can literally read his progression from being an "up and coming shooter" to the current Production National Champion. Very, very cool! I owe much of my progress to him.

HOA Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hi Steve, it's not bragging if it's true. Your book is great. You will get more out of two weeks of drills than three months at the range. I did it backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimitz Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 If you're looking for a complete training program it's hard to beat Seeklander's book and DVDs. He's designed a complete 18 week ( if you go to the rg 3x/wk as he suggests) program in 3 phases. No guessing on what you should be doing when. It also doesnt matter where you're starting from. All you have to do is buy ammo and head to the range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibby Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 www.shooting-performance.com Mike Seeklander's stuff is well put together. I agree, Mike's book took my shooting to the next level. I recommend it to anyone I know looking to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
