Thinking Practical Shooting and Perfect Practice are good books. Don't forget to get Practical Shooting: Beyond Fundamentals by Brian Enos.
The 3 GM videos are a great resource, Double Tap has them available and look for Dave Re's Practice Deck and consider Rob Leathams Drillmaster Club, all great ideas to help learning to shoot this sport

Thanks.
I have Perfect Practice and the Brian Enos book. I will get the Thinking Practical shooting book too then. I also have the Matt Burkett video's.
Ya he is a lot easier to understand than Enos. I am not that impressed with the Enos book. It has alot of good info, but I hate when people deconstruct everything to an analytical level. He even seems a bit wierd on the Burket video
I was thinking about getting the Saul Kirsh video's. I am off to Doubletap today so we will see.
3 stops today
1. Lebaron for a Chrony
2. Phoenix Products for IPSC targets & patches
3. Doubletap for Mags & a holster

A lot of people are not capable of learning on that level, they prefer to be taught what to do rather than discovering it for themselves. Brians book is more about discovery than a "how to" manual.

Yes, there is no limit to how much you can spend if you get addicted. Kind of like golf really.
Brian Enos tries to guide people towards awareness of the self and understanding how to learn so that they will have a deeper grasp of the physical techniques and mental concepts, rather than simply aping what they have been told to do by the "GM-of-the-week." It's not light reading, true, but fortunately you can read whatever sections of it are relevant at any given time it over and over again to get different things out of it. Give it more than one chance. As you start to grasp the fundamentals more of it will make sense and you won't feel like you've wasted your money.
A simpler read, but also a very good one is J. Micheal Plaxco's "Shooting From Within."
Don't get me wrong. I know Brian's book is a good book. As I stated in my OP there is a lot of good info in that book, just not fond of his writing that is all. Or it cold be that I am "not capable of learning on that level"
Or possibly you just prefer things boiled down a little more, as many do. Brian does tend to get pretty cerebral, but if you've ever met the guy you'd know it isn't an act. He's a thinker.Or it cold be that I am "not capable of learning on that level"
Brian reminds me of an engineer friend of mine who tends to see everything as a series of ever changing mathematical expressions. NEVER show him something and ask, "What do you think about this?" Unless you are prepared for the response, "I don't think; I measure." But then of course he would spend months thinking about it and go from tweaking a compensator design to theorizing how to build a completely recoiless racing pistol.
Thing is; after following along through the confusing whole process, you do learn something valuable. Brian's book is like that.
Personally, I like Saul Kirsch video's they seem to make the most sense to me and I find his instruction style easy to follow and very clear. The 3GM videos are great. Even his match videos are very well done with 2 points of view from different camera angles and he even ghosts the stages of different shooters to see where advantages are gained.
