4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book to add to your volume.,
This review is from: Surgical Speed Shooting: How to Achieve High-Speed Marksmanship in a Gunfight (Paperback)
One of the better books I've read on speed shooting and marksmanship. Noticed an improvement right away after making a few adjustments that were illustrated in the book.

This review is from: Surgical Speed Shooting: How to Achieve High-Speed Marksmanship in a Gunfight (Paperback)
Beginner, intermediate, or advanced shooter, you can benefit from reading this book. This book isn't as complex as the title might suggest. Stanford applies a keep it simple approach. Ultimately, his key to high speed marksmanship is a sound focus on the fundamentals. That's an easy thing to lose grasp of when you're trying hard to build skill and get better. The second half of the book is really full of gems. I particularly liked Stanford's treatment of one-handed shooting. He points out that a very likely reason you'd have to shoot one handed is because you're fending off blows, wrestling, or fighting with the other hand. He give that topic a good treatment. The photos in that chapter tell a lot too. Stanford is part of a current new wave of firearms instructors. This wave is taking a realistic approach to shooting as a fighting skill. They acknowledge that you're likely to be scared, shaky, and uncoordinated when you actually have to use a pistol to defend your life. Stanford and these other new instructors are teaching simple techniques that you can use when you're gasping for air and at wits end.

Very disappointing,

This review is from: Surgical Speed Shooting: How to Achieve High-Speed Marksmanship in a Gunfight (Paperback)
The author spends the first third of the book ranting about how stupid people are who use the Weaver stance. He seems more concerned about making his point with Weaver fans than in actually teaching anything. He makes many statements throughout that do not inspire confidence in his advice. The first rule of life is to be careful where you get advice, and that goes doubly true if your life will depend on it. While there are some good concepts here, there is nothing that is not explained better in other books.Save your money and buy something from Gabe Suarez instead.
