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.
