Jay Hirshberg - Champion Shooting: Guaranteed Results in 15 Minutes A Day

This is a book that covers aspects of training for pistol shooting which is inherently a dangerous sport. Never try anything represented in this book without full knowledge and acceptance of the risks associated with that activity. Always follow the rules of gun safety including but not limited to:

Always treat a firearm as if it is loaded.

Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction.

Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.

Always keep your firearm unloaded until it is ready for use.

Always be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

An accident that takes place is solely the responsibility of the shooter. This book covers exercises in live-fire and dry-fire settings -- never have ammunition anywhere near your dry-fire area and always be sure that your gun is unloaded when performing drills in dry-fire.

The reader of this book acknowledges and accepts all risks associated with their live-fire and dry-fire activities and hereby accepts all the risks associated with any shooting and related activities.

This is Volume 2 in the Champion Shooting book series. The first volume Champion Shooting, a Proven Process For Success at Any Level, sets you on the path to improvement with the greatest impact for the effort you put in. It provides the foundation for a practice regiment and discusses all facets of training. One of the key aspects of practice discussed in the first volume is the notion of dry-fire. So we took this concept and elaborated on it with a focus on how to fit this method of practice into your overall regimen.

Whether its USPSA, IPSC, IDPA or Steel Challenge practical shooters always seem to be talking about dry-fire. It seems to be generally accepted that dry-fire is an important means of improving your shooting technique. There are many schools of thought pertaining to the use of dry-fire techniques as a means of improvement. Just about everyone thinks it is important, but most people do not seem to implement it into their regular training regimen. Many people use dry-fire extensively for a short time and then stop doing it. We are not quite sure why people stop training through dry-fire although there are many thoughts around this it can be boring, mundane, not realistic, etc.

This book will help you gain an understanding of the following myths concerning its use as a training technique:

You have heard that its boring? This book will disprove that.

You will not learn anything by using it as a practice method, and you wont get any faster even if you do? The drills within this book will disprove that.

You do not know what to practice? This is a book filled with practice concepts.

This is the dry-fire book that we wish we had as a reference guide when we first started shooting. It owes a lot to the work of Brian Enos, Steve Anderson, Saul Kirsch, Mike Seeklander, Rob Leatham, and Matthew Mink (all top shooters in todays parlance) and others as well. This book is not designed to replace the materials that other people have produced; it is instead our take on all of that information along with lessons that we have learned along the way. We have and continue to use the methods contained in this training book and have seen our shooting techniques improve both quickly and measurably along the way and so will you!

The 15-Minute Dry-fire Plan first appeared on Bens website in 2009. Then it was designed as a single, 15-minute Dry-fire workout that if followed, would provide people with great results. It is important to note that the contents of this book do not show resemblance to that earlier work except for the name and our learning that this is a simple and easy-to-implement concept. This is the most extensive dry-fire training book yet produced and we are sure that you will find all of the material here of interest and use to you. So throw this book in your range bag and lets get started.
