Been shooting (Other than BB guns) since 8 yrs old. Always wanting to learn more, particularly about “Tactical” shooting. This book would be good.
i never learned to shoot,thats why i need to win this book
Started shooting at scout camp back in the early 70′s. Fell in love with it and still have a great time with it!!!
Avid handgunner, always looking for more training. This book looks to be just the ticket. Send it right away.
I learned to shoot growing up on a ranch. This books looks great.
Shot bb gun and 22 as a kid. One day I guess I was going for a wing shot and bullet landed close enuf to mom she could hear. She gave me a what-for but didn’t take away my gun but you can bet I was a lot more careful after that. After I left home I didn’t shoot in my adult years. In 2008 I bought my 1st pistol. Shot at the indoor range and learned to shoot IDPA from great people there. The next year I took the Gunsite 150 course. I’ve taken whatever training I can since then. If you choose me please give the book to GlockGunner70.
I’VE SHOT ABOUT EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE GATLING GUN ON A
F-4D. WOULD LIKE TO BE THE WINNER.

Started with single shot BB rifle at 6 or 7. Grandma gave me a .22 rifle at age 9 and Dad taught and monitored my shooting. 1st .22 revolver for trapline at 14 (no forms to fill out at that time (1954), and have been shooting and learning ever since.
My dad had gotten me my Daisy BB gun when I was 8 or 9. I got pretty good fairly fast so he taught me how his .22 rifle worked. Once I had taken my Hunter’s Safety Course in 7th grade he gave me his .22 rifle and I received a Winchester 20 gauge pump for Christmas. In ’94 I went and took the Act 235 training course for my security job. That was my last live training course. Since then I have become disabled and cannot afford any type of training. I think this book would give me the information I need in an easy to use format.
I want to win!!
My father started me out with a BB gub and , then a 22 rifle. I hope To win thius book, looks facinating.
I’m a winner, sign me up. I learned how to shoot pretty much on my own initially and then attended formal training years later on the job. I had the opportunity to shoot with a former IPSC competitor, Larry Spain, who taught me a lot and who I was always trying to beat. We would shoot steel with 22′s, he was using a S&W 6 shot revolver and I had my Ruger MKII with 10 rounds. I rarely beat him in a stage and only if he missed and had to reload. Didn’t happen very often at all but it was a lot of fun trying.
Looks like it would be a great addition to the library. Sign me up to win.
Appears to be a great book that would enhance anyone’s library.sure hope I get to win it.
I started shooting at about 9 with my father. I would love a free copy of the book.
Basically, I used a BB gun in the 4th grade but true training took place at Fort Polk, in the US Army and solidified in Vietnam 1969. But in reality, there is NEVER enough training or end to learning.
I started with a BB gun.
I’d like to win the book.
My Dad taught me when I was in fourth grade.
When it comes to firearms there can never be enough information.
