Books
You can buy Ben Stoeger's books at Ben Stoeger Pro Shop (packaged with dry-fire targets) or order them through Amazon. I'd recommend starting with Practical Shooting Training, as it's a one-stop shop that lays out training plans for new, intermediate, and advanced shooters. Add in a couple of scaled dry-fire targets and you're ready to go!
- Practical Shooting Training: Completely revised replacement for Dryfire Reloaded and Skills & Drills Reloaded that breaks shooting into four skill levels and provides an integrated live- and dry-fire program for each one.
- Adaptive Rifle: How to shoot an AR-15 with an unmagnified optic.
- Dryfire Reloaded: How to train dry fire.
- Skills & Drills Reloaded: How to train live fire.
- Practical Pistol Reloaded: Deep dive into shooting technique. Covers grip, stance, draws, transitions, etc. along with stage breakdown.
- Breakthrough Marksmanship: Points out core concepts and common mistakes in practical shooting and gives dry- and live-fire drills for diagnosing and fixing these mistakes.
- Match Mentality: Discusses the mental skills in preparing for and competing in matches.

Targets
- Atlanta Arms: I’ll drive to their warehouse in Covington, GA periodically to buy a couple boxes and avoid shipping. Call ahead and make sure they're open and the targets you want are in stock.
