BamaShooter88 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I have been looking for a very detailed training regimen. Something that has a day to day very specific training program for USPSA. I have heard of the Ben Stoeger books, the Steve Anderson books, and I found a Mike Seeklander year long training program. That is all I could find. What do y’all recommend. I don’t want just drills. I need something very specific like what to do each day and how many times. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m new to competition shooting. I have been shooting for many years. I am also a army vet. This is a whole new world though. I want to get as good as possible for next season. I’m just getting started this week at my first match.

George16 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Stoeger’s Dry Fire reloaded has a guide towards the back page which details the type of drill you are going to do on what day, how often and for what type of shooter (beginner, intermediate, expert). I have the book along with his Skills and Drills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregJ Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Steve Anderson's books are the best so far for me. I've tried Stoeger's. Steve's dry-fire regiment works. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slalom45 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Ben's new book Breakthrough Marksmanship is really good! I have most of his. This one really boils it down to what you NEED to know. I really like Dry Fire Reloaded. Skills and Drills Reloaded has tons of great info, but it does not seem well organized (to me) and was hard to really implement for me. The new book boils it down to the meat only. I'd strongly suggest it with Skills and Drills as a back up if you want to get more into the micro breakdown of all things drill wise.

GregJ Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 13 hours ago, BamaShooter88 said: Which one of his do you recommend? Get to Work and Refinement and Repetition. Learn the difference between speed mode and match mode, and practice both in DF. I took the 18 DF drills from both books, put into a 3 ring binder, use a timer/par time for each, record the time. 2-3 nights a week, 30-45 min total, each drill 3-4 min. You will be surprised.

tha1000 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Bens new book is a one night read and really does an excellent job of explaining the concepts you need to get better at this sport as well as providing guidance on diagnosis and correction of common errors.

GmanCdp Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Steve Anderson’s books and “ podcasts”.. gotta listen to Steve’s podcasts.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
683beretta Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 A good friend and Olympic trap shooter told me the best book he read was not about shooting. Tennis, "The Inner game of Tennis" by Tim Galloway. It dealt with the mental component of his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B_RAD Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Ben's or Steve's books will both girls you good info. My advice, buy one book from one of them, read it, apply it! Buy a book from the other. Repeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovpilot337 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Ben Stoeger's books are great. I also listen to the Make Ready Podcast and Shoot Fast Podcast. They have lots of good info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpYoursPal Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) I really like Steve Anderson’s Refinement and Repetition book. It’s made for shooters who don’t want to think (which is totally me) and just want to put in work. It seems to work pretty well. I also really like that it’s spiral bound so it’s easy to manage Edited March 2, 2021 by UpYoursPal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH39 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 The Ben Stoeger books really are good. Might want to by the mini targets also. They make setting up the drills a bit easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Ben's new book. Steve's is also good, but "Practical Shooting Training" puts things into a "What should I be working on at my level?" perspective. I'd recommend PST and finish Level 1. Then dive into Level 2, and if you feel like you've plateaued after two months of that, get Steve's dry-fire book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
