Breakthrough Marksmanship: The Tools of Practical Shooting

Ben Did a great job with this book and the information he provided in invaluably if you are a competition shooter

TL;DR: This book is an easy to read, easy to understand diagnostic tool to help a competitive shooter understand how to make marksmanship improvement through explanation and example diagrams.---I've read all of Ben's books. Breakthrough Marksmanship skips the detail contained in the others, and instead Ben takes a different approach by explaining technical topics relating to shooting in an easy to digest format. This is certainly the one book that should be read first by a competitive shooter.Now that I have a better understanding of the theories taught by Ben, I have been able to diagnose my own marksmanship shortcomings with the cause-effect relationships explained in Breakthrough Marksmanship. I have noticed in my own practice sessions and matches that I will automatically self diagnose my hits on targets. This is something that was previously overlooked by me even though this important feedback information was literally in plain sight. By understanding the reason why my shots fired may not hit the intended spot on a target (i.e. shots hitting low left instead of directly in the middle of the A zone), I have been able to immediately deploy the diagnostic techniques taught in Breakthrough Marksmanship, which have lead to a breakthrough improvement in my own shooting performance. Now, instead of ignoring this important feedback information, I use this information to make corrections in my grip and shooting behavior, which has produced better results over time in my own performance. The value alone of this realization is worth the price of admission to read Breakthrough Marksmanship.I fully recommend reading Breakthrough Marksmanship.

I’ve been shooting for almost 5 years and made it about as far as I can go classification wise. That said, I sometimes I feel like the information out there can be like drinking from a fire hose. This book is not like that and really focuses in on the meat and potatoes. I like that a lot and am getting a lot of value from it.What I found most interesting are the diagrams and follow up passages which explain what you’re looking at. Often times shooters (or instructors) will try to explain things online, through text, or podcast, but you can’t actually see what they mean. As a visual learner I felt this book really bridged the gap between trying to imagine the concepts and then actually seeing what the instructor meant.PROS:- Great visuals- Straight to the point- Learnings can be immediately applied to your trainingCONS:- This isn’t a meta book so if you’re looking for deeper thinking, or heavy theory (ie: Brian Enos type stuff) this isn’t for you

Train train train… nicely written marksmanship book.

I've been shooting competition for a few years now, first in IDPA, and now almost exclusively in USPSA/IPSC where I am a solid B Class shooter. But I don't want to stay a B class shooter, I want to move up in the rankings and be competitive, and the only way to do that is to train and practice, not just go throw rounds down range.This book is enormously helpful in plainly spelling out the concepts needed to improve your shooting skills. The individual skills are broken down as easy to understand concepts, and then diagrams are provided to help you diagnose exactly what you are seeing. The targets will tell you a story, this book will show you how to translate it correctly.It's an excellent read, easy to consume and directly to the point. Want to get better? Buy it, read it, do it.

This book is good for a beginner but as an older shooter of 67 and only doing it for 2 years, it has in a way changed my thinking. Transitions, time, balance, etc. all great stuff and now that I can shoot, I can see where to push myself and what practice on. As well, the results of moving too fast.

Ben once again demonstrates his talent for clear, lucid instruction. In a short but information dense book he covers the deep fundamentals necessary and sufficient to continually improve your practical shooting skills. Ammo is expensive. This book is crucial to spending it wisely.

Wish that I had this book when I first started competing in USPSA. What a lot of the other mental giants who gave poor reviews to this book do not realize, is that this book merely provides a place on where to start training. This book is good across the board for all shooters, as to where to start with their training, to work on the biggest priorities of marksmanship. The book is a short read on purpose, to not have to wade through a bunch of material.

This book is filled with great information. As a new shooter in an area with virtually no other pistol shooters, Ben Stoegers books give insight into my shooting that I couldn't get anywhere else .This book in particular offers cause and affect explanations that can be incredibly beneficial at a glance, I had a ton of "ah-ha" moments as I read.If you're looking for no nonsense literature covering all aspects of practical pistol shooting, Ben's books are for you.

Very pertinent, practical, and (perhaps most importantly) easy-to-read guidance from a guy who knows what he's talking about. I liked it better than his previous books. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to improve their pistol shooting.

Ich habe viel gelesen und einiges probiert. Ben Stoeger ist nicht nur amtierender IPSC Weltmeister sondern auch einer der wenigen Top Schützen die ihr Wissen auch für andere verständlich weiter geben können. Eines der besten Bücher für die Gestaltung des IPSC Trainings. Als Basis sind die anderen Bücher von Ben Stoeger sicher von Vorteil. Dieses Buch fasst die vorangegangenen Bücher hervorragend zusammen. Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung für jeden IPSC-Schützen der auf der Suche nach besserer Zeit und mehr Punkten ist.
