Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is one thing that all marksmen—whether they're soldiers, cops, hunters, or competitive shooters—agree on: only hits count. Depending on your role, it may be more important to be faster or it may be more important to be precise, but in the end it's the shooter who can achieve perfect shots on demand, all the time, who wins. To fire a perfect shot, you need to bring together a mix of very specific conditions into that single moment when the trigger breaks. Some of the required conditions are technical, some of them are physical, but the requirements that are most important—and most elusive—are the mental skills. Once you have mastered the mental skills required to fire the perfect shot, you will find they're the same for any gun, any time, anywhere. Secrets of Mental Marksmanship is a detailed guide to developing conscious and subconscious powers that will elevate your marksmanship practice, training, and performance to the level of expert shooters. Keith Cunningham and Linda Miller—both champion shooters and master instructors, with decades of experience in the field and on the range—provide a set of tools that can be used to acquire and access the mental skills needed to perform to the best of your ability. True stories from military and law-enforcement professionals, seasoned hunters, and world-class competitors illustrate key points about marksmanship in the field, on the range, and on the streets. By mastering the tools, skills, and lessons outlined in this book, you will be able to get into "the zone" and produce the perfect shot under pressure and on demand, whenever you look through the sights of a gun.

Download or read book Pineapple written by Joseph A Plandowski and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those of you who have chosen to pick up a book on the mental side of marksmanship, you have decided to take the next step in your shooting in enhancing your performance and taking it to the next level. I have been working with shooters and elite level marksman for over 8 years, much of this experience has been with U.S. Army snipers and marksmen who have made it their goal and mission to get themselves and their Soldiers to perform optimally on a consistent basis no matter what the situations or conditions. This includes both competitive shooting and tactical shooting. When I started, I had the excellent opportunity to work with SSG John Brady, now retired, to introduce me the exciting and complex world of shooting along with opening the way for me to work with other great U.S. Army marksmanship instructors which included SFC Ash Hess (retired, he developed and wrote the most recent U.S. Army marksmanship manual) and SFC Joshua Swink (retired) both of whom introduced me to the world of tactical and close-range shooting. All these individuals were teaching aspects of the mental side of shooting but at times did not know how to fully explain how to apply and reinforce these cognitive/mental aspects of shooting or have a comprehensive knowledge or program for it. Through observing and working with these extremely knowledgeable individuals I was able to develop a plan to assist/train shooters with the development of their metal game and together with these marksmanship instructors, or you could call them gurus, we were able to help shooters to fire their weapons consistently and accurately even under the most severe of circumstances and stress. This book will address different styles of shooting, which will include long range marksmanship, short range marksmanship, competition shooting, and tactical shooting which will include live fire/real life situations. The reason for this is that while there are some generalities in the mental skills, processes, and routines of shooters, these can vary depending on the situation, mission, and tasks of the shooter and their position within a team. I worked with SSG John Brady (retired) for over 6 years in regards to marksmanship training and we have encountered and dealt with many different challenges of training shooters to send it and send it so that it hits and neutralizes targets. Our work together was in training Soldiers and shooters for actual combat and for competitions that have included 4 United States Army Small Arms Competitions and 6 United States Army International Sniper Competitions. Besides these competitions I have trained multiple Snipers and shooters in mental/cognitive skills. Once on the range John spoke these words to the shooters he was training, "There's no such thing as high speed, only ownership, mastery of the fundamentals." These words are so true in the fact that being an elite level shooter takes practice of the skills of your craft, that is marksmanship. This includes the tactical, technical, and physical skills of shooting, this includes both physical and mental. Marksmanship does not have magic pills or equipment that makes you good, it is the mastery of a set of skills, which are perishable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hunting is our heritage, our heart, and our future. Where does hunting fit in the modern world?

Readers will · discover how hunting formed us, · examine hunting ethics and their adaptation to modernity, · understand the challenges, traditions, and reverence of today’s hunter, · identify hunting skills and their many applications outside the field, · learn why hunting is critical to ecological restoration and preservation, and · gain inspiration to share hunting with others. Drawing from ecology, philosophy, and anthropology and sprinkled with campfire stories, this wide-ranging examination has rich depths for both nonhunters and hunters alike.

Download or read book On Killing written by Dave Grossman and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A controversial psychological examination of how soldiers’ willingness to kill has been encouraged and exploited to the detriment of contemporary civilian society. Psychologist and US Army Ranger Dave Grossman writes that the vast majority of soldiers are loath to pull the trigger in battle. Unfortunately, modern armies, using Pavlovian and operant conditioning, have developed sophisticated ways of overcoming this instinctive aversion. The mental cost for members of the military, as witnessed by the increase in post-traumatic stress, is devastating. The sociological cost for the rest of us is even worse: Contemporary civilian society, particularly the media, replicates the army’s conditioning techniques and, Grossman argues, is responsible for the rising rate of murder and violence, especially among the young. Drawing from interviews, personal accounts, and academic studies, On Killing is an important look at the techniques the military uses to overcome the powerful reluctance to kill, of how killing affects the soldier, and of the societal implications of escalating violence.

Book excerpt: Vera Koo enrolled in a firearm safety course because she was afraid of guns. Goals are important to Vera, so she set hers high, completing the beginner's course, and eventually becoming the best shooter in her advanced class. Her instructor suggested she reach for an even higher goal with competitive shooting. And she did. With unflinching focus and determination, Vera became one of the most accomplished shooters ever. At age 70, she’s an eight-time women’s division winner of the prestigious Bianchi Cup Action Pistol Championship. She’s the first woman to place in the Top 20 in the Bianchi Cup competition. Vera’s story is more than that of a petite Asian woman becoming a top competitor in the male-dominated sport shooting world. It’s the story of a Chinese immigrant, raised in a traditional Chinese culture, where women deferred to their husbands and kept to their socio-economic class, succeeded in America. Vera is a successful businesswoman, accomplished athlete, and a loving wife and mother. It was never an ‘either or’ for Vera, it’s about meeting life’s challenges head-on with dogged persistence, grace, humility—and humor. With faith in herself and God, Vera has survived unexpected tragedies, tremendous hurt, and betrayal. And yet, her story is about hope, love, compassion, and forgiveness. Through all the twists and turns in her life, Vera shows us how the same grit that made her a world class athlete, helped her find joy. “Search for something you’re good at,” Vera says, "and it will take you far.” - Vera

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dick Fairburn just might have written the definitive work on gunfighting. Not just about fighting, mind you, but on how to create a gunfighter. It's all here: mindset, tactics, and techniques . . . everything but the individual willingness to training and practice." ——Dave Spaulding, 2010 Law Enforcement Trainer of the Year, and author of Handgun Combatives and Defensive Living "I strongly recommend that you not just read but study and apply this excellent book." ——Dave Grossman, author of On Killing and On Combat It is not enough to just have a gun—it is also vital to be trained in the proper use of that weapon. That is what this book is all about. A veteran law enforcement officer and firearms trainer for more than 30 years, Richard Fairburn trained under the legendary Col. Jeff Cooper at Gunsite and Clint Smith at Thunder Ranch, and has all available NRA instructor certifications. In Building a Better Gunfighter, Fairburn has turned his remarkable skills toward teaching you to properly employ a firearm in combat. Fairburn's three-part training model is based on the three "Ms:" marksmanship, mechanics, and mindset. While this in itself is not unique, the cyclic system of training through all three Ms at a low level of competence before starting all over again with shorter time frames, tougher targets, and more realistic force-on-force scenarios is. The result is one of the finest gunfighter training resources available. The principles taught in this book apply equally to police officers, soldiers, and citizens alike. If you are a concerned citizen who chooses to go armed, for reasons of personal protection or as a part of your chosen profession, this book is for you. For if you choose to go armed, you must also choose to be competent in the use of your weapons, as well as being physically and mentally prepared for the rigors of personal combat. This book will assist you in that training.
