Great read and review.
Great for beginners. Even seasoned shooters to go back and review. Gives other information where to find gear used and resources. Several pages for notes and even data cards available to make copies.

A bit pedestrian but a nice set of resources in the appendix.

Good read
As the author clearly points out, this is not a book about how to shoot, but rather focuses on match prep and etiquette. My first local competition is coming up in a few weeks and I found this book to be a useful reference.
