Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, point and shoot.? These words from his father propelled Buz Fawcett?s shooting success as a child, gaining him a number of High Gun awards at local trap clubs by the time he was fourteen. Because of his success, his father awarded him his grandfather?s Model 1912 Winchester, which he mastered, even though it ?kicked the whey? out of him. However, his amazing shooting abilities as a kid didn?t follow him into adulthood. Fawcett entered into what he calls his ?Dark Ages? of shooting after accepting an associate editor position at Sports Afield in New York City, where he had to read and edit what other gunmen were writing about shooting techniques. Eventually, he took a position as editor of Guns & Ammo magazine, located in California. He soon found himself in a position where he could shoot as much as he liked. After a number of years and extensive research into shooting methods, Fawcett rediscovered his talents through a technique called ?Instinctive Shooting.? This research and a lot of practice finally led to teaching a workshop on instinctive shooting to help others become adept at this miraculous ?point and shoot? method. Instinctive Shooting is Fawcett?s guide for other gunmen, describing exactly how and what needs to be done to achieve the ultimate shooting instincts. Practical and hands-on, the book covers such topics as determining your dominant eye, achieving proper shotgun fit, how to correct point and shoot, selecting equipment, practice regimens, mounting, and much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of a Gunner Emboldened by the reception accorded to With the Guns, I have ventured to produce the present volume. My endeavour has been to supplement the former book in some respects, and, in addition, to give a short account of the making of a gunner, and of the uses to which he is put when made. The work of the Artillery has lately attained a special prominence in the public mind, owing to the part that it took in the events that led to the great offensive on the Ancre during the last week in June 1916, but the details of this work are too often shrouded in mystery. I dare hope that the following chapters may serve to make this mystery less opaque, and to throw perhaps a feeble ray of illumination upon the inner life of a body of men who live and labour and die behind the limelight of the trenches.

Book excerpt: They were warriors, trained to fight, dedicated to their country, and determined to win. At Guadalcanal, the Marine Corps’ machine gunners took everything the Japanese could throw at them in one of the bloodiest battles of World War II; their position was so hopeless that at one point they were given the go-ahead to surrender. Near the Chosin Reservoir in Korea, as the mercury dropped to twenty below, the 1st Marine Division found itself surrounded and cut off by the enemy. The outlook seemed so bleak that many in Washington had privately written off the men. But surrender is not part of a Marine’s vocabulary. Gunner’s Glory contains true stories of these and other tough battles in the Pacific, in Korea, and in Vietnam, recounted by the machine gunners who fought them. Bloody, wounded, sometimes barely alive, they stayed with their guns, delivering a stream of firepower that often turned defeat into victory–and always made them the enemy’s first target.
