Pistol Shooting Books

[Jack Milchanowski]

Are there any good books about pistol shooting? I often see this question come up on Target Talk. The answers always include Competitive Shooting by A. A. Yur’yev. Another is the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit’s Pistol Marksmanship Training Guide. I have enjoyed reading The Pistol Shooter’s Treasury, a collection of great articles by world champion shooters edited by Gil Hebard.

In response to the question of good books I have recommended a book in addition to these for pistol shooters. It is titled, A Shooter’s Guide To Pistol Marksmanship by Allan Lozsan. Mr. Lozsan has recently published a revised edition of his excellent book. His writing style is very easy to understand. The chapters in the book cover such essential skills as stance, breath, sighting, follow through, and even how to do grip modifications. He has a chapter that covers all of our different types of matches. There is an “Improving Performance” chapter that is loaded with must have information. There is a chapter devoted entirely to mental skills which is very worthwhile. You can find ordering information for his book at www.pistol-shooting.com . Once there you will find great information on his website as well as ordering instructions for his book. Note that a discount exists for multiple copies.

All you really need to know is how to properly focus on the front sight and apply the trigger so as not to disturb the sight. All of the above books and manual sure make it a lot more interesting and a longer read.

Come see us in the woods.
