This is a straightforward, no-nonsense instructional book on pistol shooting--specifically competition practical pistol-shooting. Its take-no prisoners style holds nothing back, and eliminates any guess work related to which techniques work and which ones are outdated. The best way to shoot is using the Isosceles Stance, fact or myth? What about the press-out technique? According to Professor Roger H. Lincoln, there are two rules for success in life: Never tell everything you know, and never tell everything all at once. In this book, Ben Stoeger laughs in the face of this great entrepreneur. Top shooters share a common knowledge which they have collected over the years from a plethora of sources; a knowledge that, in its whole, is far from common to the average shooter in that it is scattered. In Practical Pistol , the top shooters such as Bob Vogel, Dave Sevigny, and Matt Mink collaborate with Ben Stoeger to compile the so-called "Grand Master secrets" into one location. The knowledge spans from marksmanship fundamentals to shooting on the move, and competition skills such as stage breakdown and managing match pressure.

Finally, this book contains many little tips, drills, and exercises to help you improve your shooting.
