    Hi fish slapped,

    +1, I’m really looking forward to getting a copy of this, I’ve read the original, but can’t wait to see what’s in the new chapters.

    If you measure the quality of advice given based on competitions won or the life experience of the one giving the advice then you’ll be hard pressed to get a better source of advice than that given in this book.
    Also, without doubt one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet in international shooting.
