MEC's Air Rifle Shooting, or The Ways of the Rifle. These are written by top German and Swiss coaches.

Both are pretty good, and although the MEC Air Rifle Shooting book is incredibly detailed, its pretty much directly translated from German.

Its hard going in places & most definitely aimed at the elite competitor.

The other one I've read is "Rifle - Steps to success" - its a bit easier going, although more aimed towarded the beginner / improver (cheaper too).

The MEC book is about £40, as I remember.

Never a truer word spoken, we are all individuals & that's why I don't like the west /German way of coaching.

Depicted in the two German books, translated by Bill Murrey also a shooter, ways of the rifle & air rifle shooting is all that is available of any note in print these days.

Take what works for you from them & leave the rest to the back of your mind.

Unfortunately the Germans coaching is a bit like YOU DO IT THIS WAY OR NOT AT ALL, except if you name is .I could name a few, but they are in the books, some as conventional & others as not. Take from them what you will, they are good & straight forward to learn from.
