In this book, "Top Shot" Season 3 Winner, Dustin Ellermann, will demonstrate training methods that have the power to have a bigger impact on your tactical shooting level than any book you have ever read. Why? Because they will help you get around the biggest obstacles to locking in and maintaining tactical firearms skills...time and money. These tactics, techniques, and procedures are the very same ones that elite special operations units from around the globe, many with unlimited ammo budgets, use to train beginning and advanced tactics as well as maintain their edge. Who else uses these tactics? Olympic athletes of all disciplines and competitive shooters, including the champion of Top Shot Season 3, Dustin Ellermann, who you see on the cover and who graciously agreed to demonstrate the skills throughout. Every tactic, technique, and procedure has been designed so that you can learn and refine your tactical firearms skills in the comfort of your own home without wasting precious money on ammo and range time, or wasting time driving to and from the range and cleaning your firearms. Perhaps most importantly, this book will show you how to practice advanced tactical and self-defense skills with a firearm, even if you live (or anticipate living) somewhere that is hostile towards gun owners. Finally, if you've got any new shooters who you want to introduce to shooting, you'll learn how to give them an advanced comfort at arms before they ever fire their first shot. You'll be able to imprint solid fundamentals and muscle memory BEFORE they have a chance to develop any undesirable habits.

Louis Awerbuck was one of America's premier firearms trainers and instructors. He firmly believed that training and tactics are the most crucial elements in determining how people respond in a real fight. This book brings together a decade of articles by Awerbuck in S.W.A.T. and Soldier of Fortune magazines on subjects ranging from creative target systems and firearms marksmanship under stress to defensive survival of a deadly-force encounter. But above all the book is intended to promote thought on surviving a fight in an increasingly deteriorating society. Tactical Reality is not for the person who looks for trouble where he could have avoided it. It is not for the man who shuns cover and takes an unnecessary bullet. It is not for the squeamish or anyone who isn't prepared to fight to defend himself or his family. It is for everyone interested in finding out how to take a realistic approach to training so that, if need be, he can turn the tactical odds in a gunfight in his favor. This book proves that you are what you practice.

This book on tactical play is designed to aid practical play by focusing on typical combinational themes that crop up consistently in chess.

Operational athletes are a unique breed. You need to physically perform at an extraordinarily high level in stressful situations. Often in dangerous or unstable environments. As a SWAT operator, combat-arms soldier, or first responder, you have to be a Jack of All Trades. Let's take that a step further. You have to achieve some degree of mastery. You have to be strong, have incredible levels of endurance, and be capable of sustained bursts of intense activity. All while tired, hungry, cold, or worse. You can't train like a bodybuilder. You can't be sore for a week after 'leg' day. You can't afford to specialize like a powerlifter. You have other abilities you need to develop, things like cardiovascular training, work capacity, and occupational skills. Anyone that's operational knows it's a constant juggling act trying to become (and stay) superhuman. Tactical Barbell is a strength training program designed specifically for operational athletes using correct principles and best practices. The objective being to increase maximal-strength and strength-endurance, while taking into account the need to simultaneously train other fitness domains. Periodization based, with a simple progression model that allows for a great degree of customization. You won't find cables, balance boards or medicine balls in this program. What you will get is a reliable, repeatable, cutting edge system to increase your strength dramatically. In a manner that leaves you time and energy to train all those other things you need to be good at. No fluff. No frills. If you live in the arena, you know talk is cheap. The program includes a built in strength testing component. You will know whether or not your strength has increased, and by how much. Simple.

The Base Line Training Manual is the starting block of preparedness. The book details the basic steps to prepare yourself and your family to survive a Without Rule of Law Situation.
