Bill Schwab Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I've seen this book advertised for a few monthes now in the Front Sight, but figured it wouldn't be what I expected and thus a waste of money. A few weekends ago I find myself at the Area 8 Championship and low and behold one of the vendors has a copy. This book is set up nice, very organized. The author goes through some basics on technique, but then gets in to real great detail on how to move (entering/exiting boxes, shooting on the move, opening doors, ports). He lays down a philosophy for how to organize your live fire sessions, and gives you a 6 week sample. The back of the book is an appendix of all the live fire drills he uses. I thought I had a good live fire training routine prior to reading this book, now I know otherwise. I think the drills and awesome descriptions of how to move will definetly help me improve faster. I wish I had this book three years ago when I started ipsic. The author uses a lot of Rob Leatham training technique. My only gripe with the book is that it didn't offer more advice/guidance on dry firing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiDale Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Thanks for the review Bill. My thoughts were similar to yours and I had dismissed the book. I think I'll give it a look now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolPete Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Sounds like a necessity... Where can I pick up a copy? Thanks, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 www.shootersparadise.com - which is the website for Phil Strader's place in Woodbridge, VA. They had a number of copies in stock when I bought my copy last night. Drop Phil an e-mail or give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooter_rob Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 The book is well worth the money. The author is a good friend of mine and I use it all the time. He is a GM and a firearms instructor at FLETC in Brunswick GA. He put lots of time into developing it. I think you can get it from https://www.maxmichel.com/store1/agora.cgi. Good luck and remember to tell Sam that Rob reccomended his book if you ever get to meet him, he will know who you are talking about. DvC...

Clay1 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Some of you that bought this one a while ago, I would like to hear from now after you have read the book and trained with the techniques included in the book. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypool40 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I have his book too. It's kind of a cross between Matt Burkett's and Steve Anderson's, with more instruction on technique. I think it might be the best intro out there. Quick aside, I was up at FLETC for the instructor course two years ago, and Sam was one of the instructors for our course. Nice guy and it was nice to have a REAL shooter up there so the tactical guys wouldn't try to change how I shot. I think he's part of the reason they are teaching MODERN techniques up at FLETC.

mhearn Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Picked it up at the USPSA Area 6 Match 2005. I've been working through the practice sessions. Very nice organization and layout. I recommend it for anyone not shooting B Limited. Mhearn B Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
