T.A.P.S. Tactical Application of Practical Shooting: Recognize the void in your tactical training Review
Apparently I'm the only guy writing a review on this page that doesn't personally know the Author, I wish I did! He is a person with an impressive resume in tactical shooting. This is a great book but you need to understand the scope before you order it. This is not a "how to shoot" book. There are a couple of decent tidbits in here about how to shoot but, this book assumes that you already understand the fundamentals of not only basic shooting, but of practical shooting. For example, there are no pictures or description of all the shooting positions. This is a "how to teach other people to shoot" book. In that respect it is a great resource. The book is basically in two parts. First there are a lot of great insights on training people to shoot. I love the author's style of commentary and how it is arranged as "tidbits" of knowledge instead of being forced into a traditional format. I found myself pleasantly surprised that I had come to some of the same conclusions as the author. It made me feel vindicated, and where I didn't It gave me reason to rethink some of my own views on practical shooting. After this there is a collection of "courses of fire" that will aid in running a competition or a training program. If you need a book on the basics of shooting, I would recommend Kyle Lamb's "Green Eyes Black Rifles." But, if you run a training program, shooting competition, or have hit a wall in the development of your own skills, you should have this book.

Mac gave the people exactly what they were looking for: a no-nonsense publication on the ground truth of the principals of accurate and effective shooting. It is obvious that this book is a result of popular demand from the thousands of students Mac has instructed over the years; walking away from one of his training sessions, students clearly pined the days away wanting for a better account of the instruction they received in his course; something beyond just the notes they may have scribbled down during the course. This book reads the way Mac talks. Packed with motivational one-liners and myriads of little jewels of knowledge Mac has developed over years of some of the most intense combat rifle and pistol training a body can endure.
Mac's philosophy on dealing with the GWOT is spot on, and I would highly recommend to take note of his sobering insight on world politics and the modern day terrorist threat. If you are looking to better your shooting skills, or thinking about learning from the ground up, this should be your first choice in supplemental text for your program. Get him to sign it if ever you get the opportunity; this guys is easily one of the up-and-coming world greats in effective fire arms instruction.
Get some, Mac!
