Your Shooting Library?


9x23

Recommended Posts

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!

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.
