The most comprehensive and insightful book on the mental aspects of competitive rifle and pistol shooting ever written. Most other books devote the majority of the tesxt to the physical fundamentals of shooting, assuming that the reader knows and understands the psychological part of the sport. This book takes a different tact, exploring in detail areas of shooting that are not often discussed and/or understood. Chapters in this book include: Winning with the "right" Equipment, Goal Setting, Visualization, Getting the most out of Shooting Instruction, Solutions for Ending a Shooting Slump, and many more.

Outstanding Book On An Often Overlooked Subject,
This review is from: Rifle & Pistol Shooting: Winning With the Mental Edge (Paperback)
The author does a outstanding job of presenting a truly holistic view of the subject of sport psychology as applied to rifle and pistol shooting. Unlike most books on sport psychology, or mental training, which focus on the standard/routine topics - this book includes (in addition to those subjects) areas such as how equipment affects the shooter or ideas on resolving shooting slumps. It becomes quite evident in reading this book that the author has lived the ups-and-downs of shooting and has taken that knowledge and put it in a book. Kudos to the author for taking the time to document such topics and enlightening us all.

Rifle Pistol Shooting - Winning with the mental edge,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rifle & Pistol Shooting: Winning With the Mental Edge (Paperback)
For the novice who is just getting started in competition shooting, this book will provide the basic knowledge. It's written in the simplest form and crudely attempts to outline what is actually a very complex subject. For an individual who is above the novice level of competition I would not recommend this book.
