Shoot: Your Guide to Shooting and Competition (Blood Red Turns Dollar Green Book 2) Kindle Edition

While this book isn’t a deep reference for anyone with experience, I have found it to be one of the better books to recommend to young ladies who have no previous exposure to the shooting sports. The book is not specific to ladies and works equally well for young men who ask for an introduction. There is a very good overview description of all the different types of formal and informal shooting sports, but especially firearms. The volume just brushes on the air gun world or archery, but that doesn’t detract from what it does for pistols, rifles, and shotguns. It gives a good perspective to those who are starting from scratch and even those who have some experience in one or two areas but not the others. She then does a good job of introducing how to get started in general, with basics and fundamentals that are common to static and moving targets of all kinds, and good descriptions of equipment and rules. A good volume for kids with no family background and even those with at least a limited background.

Ms Golob is one of the best and most respected of all competition shooters. Her writing style is a clean and clear as her shooting. I write instruction books, procedures and directions for various items & circumstances. I am also new to completion shooting. SHOOT really does combine the best of CLEAR instruction with what a shooter needs to KNOW. Picking up a weapon is VERY SERIOUS business just to start with because IT, the gun, is intimidating. There is NO margin for error. I say 1) Read this book first, 2) watch A Lot of Ms Golob's YouTube videos, 3) attend THE BEST and HIGHEST CERTIFIED classes you can: do Beginning, in-class & range, (repeat it if they will allow you to), 4) Take a couple of PRIVATE LESSONS from a Certified Instructor, 5) (Take a deep breath) Go to the range & PRACTICE! 6) Join your local gun club (these are really nice folks), 7) READ *SHOOT* A 2nd TIME!!! (Why? ---> FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS take time to build. Get exposure in EVERY safe form you can!! REPETITION of GOOD SAFETY SKILLS are PARAMOUNT!! 8) ( Take 2 deep breaths ) Sign up for & enter your gun club competition fun/ sport day! Go ahead, you can do it!! Just tell them you are new and ask for their help. The more experienced club members will step right up to your side! Yup, they will. Guaranteed.Keep this book, SHOOT, handy. Read the safety rules & fundamentals Aoften. Build good skills. Safety FIRST--> for YOU & EVERYBODY ELSE. Your SAFETY skills will ALWAYS be more important than your shooting skills.This book didn't get into my hands until after my first competition. I stopped & read this book. I was so impressed that I started immediately and read it again. I wanted to get this information on every level: repeatedly. I wish I had started competition shooting A L O N G time ago. It is great fun! It builds confidence and self respect for energy IN = consistently better and more refined results. And the folks who are involved in shooting & gun clubs are the nicest folks I've met in ages! C'mon, join us!!

An excellent book by an excellent author. I highly recommend this book to anybody that shoots a weapon. It's easy to read, easy to understand and it helps a lot.

Very well writen, very knowledgeable. Written for novice women. Julie obviously wrote this for women interested in defensive shooting and shooting sports. If your a novice and want to get an understanding of competition shooting this book is for you. Julie covers beginning gun handling and all the basic you will need for competition shooting.

Not for the seasoned shooter, but very well written, and easy to understand for new shooter. Would definitely recommend for anyone new to the shooting world.Wish it would have been more geared to the competitive shooter.

If you're new to the shooting sports or just want some guidance as to your next steps, this is a must read. Julie shares her vast knowledge in an easy and fun to read book that educates as it entertains. From seasoned pros to first time shooters, there's something in here for everybody.

Good info for those thinking about competitive shooting.

What can you say? This book is a great intro into the world of competitive shooting. I just couldn't stand still in a lane and punch holes in paper any longer. I love shooting, but was getting bored. I have begin doing some local matches and with the help of this book I am learning a ton. Read this if you want to get into competitive shooting. Read this if you love America! Just read it!

Très bon livre bien expliqué avec une excellente auteur
