The Shooting Cookbook

Reviews and Comments

Review:

The Shooting Cookbook, written by Alan Ball and Nikolay Koterlitzov is now available for purchase. This is a very comprehensive book that is a real "How To.." or "Everything You Wanted to Know". It covers all the elements of shooting (3 positions, rifle fitting, process, mental aspects, progressions, etc.) as well as a tons of shooting drills for both beginner and advanced shooters (dry fire and live fire).

The book is well organized and laid out in a way that is easy to follow, with very clear explanations. A ton of work has gone into this book and we think it is a must-have for every coach's library. Jeremy Campbell, BC

Computer Games:

Thought you might like to hear what I see when my kids are using your computer games for their Biathlon training. They treat them pretty much like dry firing practice.

Accuracy:

Good trigger finger/eye co-ordination exercise with the targets, and interesting to analyze both the total 'time' for 5 targets, and the time for each target for shooting rhythm. Also it becomes clear where any 'misses' went, and if there is a consistent error in sight picture.

Concentration:

The 'find the number' game is great as a mental focus exercise. Kids very quickly increased their 'on' time from a few minutes the first time they tried it, to as long as they set for their training time now.

Speed:

The 'chase the target' game seems their favourite. Great speed and rhythm exercise. They can follow the arrows a whole lot faster than I can. The 'focus on this target - find the next' sequence, combined with the time pressure is a good simulation of the real thing.

Thanks for the great training games.
