9x23 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 (edited) Since this is a forum where we read, I'm curious what books are in everyone's library. This may have been done before and I missed it. Your specific shooting style books eg. IPSC, IDPA, Sporting Clays. Not the help books aka "Inner Tennis". Here's my list: "The Book" of course Beyond Fundamentals by BE Matt's Practical Shooting Manual The Combat .45 by Bill Wilson Shooting from Within by J. Michael Plaxco You Can't MISS by John Shaw Shoot to Win by John Shaw The Government Model by Layne Simpson 9x Refinement and Repetition by Steve Anderson, Great book!

Skywalker Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Not much in the shooting style department: "The Book" is enough for me (I still have to fully understand it, let alone putting it to practice). In the "guns knowldege" department, I can report: Massad Ayoob "Stressfire vol.1" Ed Brown "The 1911 bench reference" Lyman 47th reloading guide.
