Shoot ON contributor Paul G. Markel has just released a new book titled Super Lab: Application of the Scientific Method to Firearms Training.
What is a Super Lab and how can it be used to improve martial firearms training? How can we apply the Scientific Method to firearms training to meet our goals while eliminating superfluous and outdated training modalities?
These were the questions that the author undertook to examine and explain in this thorough and in depth manuscript. Paul has been a dedicated student of the gun for forty years and relates what those four decades of experience have taught him in regard to conducting training and teaching others to employ firearms in a true martial fashion.
This book is a must-read for all students of the gun who are on the path to martial enlightenment. It is also essential reading for those engaged as Small Arms and Tactics Instructors. Super Lab: Application of the Scientific Method to Firearm Training is now available as a paperback, Kindle and audiobook.
