Book recommendations

[rome107]

Dear fellow shooters,
I am looking for a good read or two.
Any recomendations are welcome, training or theory as well as a good snipers novel...
Ebooks would be good as I am located in Germany and can probably not buy most US books in paper version.

Thank you all in advance
Rome

Something like: Navy SEAL Shooting by Chris Sajnog.

Have read mostly memoirs... very little training stuff... I should fix that... I loved the BOOK American sniper, as well as Lone Survivor... There was one I read about a british sniper in the sandbox, it was good. Sniper One maybe?

Seal team 6 was solid, there was one called Shooter that was about a marine sniper. No relation to the mark walberg movie... That is based on a book called "Point of Impact." Which is part of a whole series that is entertaining but nothing amazing...

Have lots of other suggestions that are non military stuff, and mostly fiction, but that's another whole thread in its self haha

Look up the authors Linda K. Miller, Keith A. Cunningham

They have some really great reads on competitive shooting and mindset. "Secrets of Mental Marksmanship" was an eye opener and has helped me a lot

If you liked those, Brandon Webb was their instructor, he has a few books out. Red Circle is really good, I just finished Killing School and it too was a good read.

if you shoot matches, Practical Shooter's Guide by Marcus Blanchard is a good read.

Hey Guys,
Thank you much for your suggestions. I got me some of those and hope to read during the upcoming holydays... (or not too much if the weather is always good for being outdoors;-)

Winston Groom. He wrote Forrest Gump, book is different than the movie, there's more to it. He goes to space with a hot officer and a monkey and crashes on a desert island. It's great. Groom also wrote a book about his time in Vietnam, it's not a true story but I bet parts of it were. Was far too real not to have been.

Catch 22 is classic. Everyone should read that. Author was a bomber pilot operating in the same area.

Slaughterhouse five is another that's not a true story but has elements that are. Vonnegut survived the Dresden fire bombing, saw some horrible shit. I haven't read that one but want to.

Scribd has all kinds of stuff that you can download and it's free to give it a try. You could do that and stock up on whatever they have and cancel it.

"Sniping in France", by Maj. H. Hesketh-Prichard.

"A Rifleman Went to War", by Herbert McBride

Leo Heaney, a member of Tiger force in 1967, has completed work on his book, which is to be released on July 16. It is now in preorder status.
The blurb is self-explanitory. If you read the BS pile of crap published by Salah and Weiss, a mostly fictional recounting of allegations regarding the team you will need to read this one.

The sniper elite series by Scott McEwen is pretty entertaining. He’s a co-author of American sniper.
