Book Reviews of The Farnam Method of Defensive Shotgun and Rifle Shooting

Book Review: The right way to defend yourself with a rifle or shotgun.
Summary: 5 Stars

John's advice is concise and practical - the kind of advice that saves lives. His procedures are precise, practical, appropriate for the average shooter, yet appear to be well tested in actual practice. This sets him and this book apart from the rest of the pack of theorists with fancy but unproven tactics.

I especially liked his recommendations of simple, easy to use weapons and accessories. Many of the doodads and frills on the market today are clunky, cumbersome and, in a defensive situation, unnecessary to the point of being hazardous. His choices may not be high-tech, neato stuff, but they seem to work and work well.

The ballistics section contains more than I ever wanted to know about maximum point blank range, etc.A quick overview suited me just fine but others who want an in depth look with defi! nitely find it there.

One of John's points of focus is safety and his weapons handling procedures emphasize this repeatedly. Each procedure seems refined and distilled with no extra movements or distractions. When I tried these myself they seemed quite natural and easy to follow.

John presents a compelling case for the defensive use of rifles and shotguns. It is clear that, when put into practice, John's recommendations and procedures would enable one to better defend themselves.

I liked it.
