Review
The Book Has short essays by over 30 Training Industry pro's, and they offer great insights to the training world, for both newbies, and the experinced among us, as we all loose focus from time to time. It truly is impressive that Rob was able to get that many Traininers represented at one time in one book. That is a feat in itself, i know they are busy and to the instructors, and pros that wrote in the book i appreciate the contribution. Now the essays are good, but the best part about the book for me is the Training log pages. Now i personally take alot of notes when i go to training courses, as all of you know from reading my aar's. they get long and drawn out. The problem is i will go to a training course or two write down that info in one book, go to another one a few months later, and then that goes into another notebook. This provides a consolidated way in a great format and alot of room for recording info about the training courses, topics covered, gear, instructer comments, local, course cost, company,course name, fellow student info and contact info for them, instructors and contact info for them, a wealth of info can be put on this format, and it is nice, neat and very professional. In closing this is a necessity for any student of the greatest art known to man, If you are into marksmanship masturbation, this book might not be for you and you might not need it, but you should get it anyway, but if you continually train, continually strive to make yourself better, if you are a training junkie, and you need an easy consolidated way to keep up with all the course info from the various classes, this book would be a great help to you. by the way there is plenty of pages in the book, if you fill them all up, you are the man and i wish i could attend that much training, but i am sure that by the time anyone would be able to fill in all the log pages the Training Log Book Supplement will be out by then. Go buy the book, read what some of the best instructers in the industry have to say about it, pick a class, take a class, and then right it down in the Training Log Book for review at a later date. repeat as needed until the desired results are attained. Great job Rob, we have needed this kinda thing for a while now, and i am glad that you made it happen. --Josh C., Georgia
