A surprising journey from tech support to professional marksman in front of the cameras.

An excellent guide for beginning shooters, Cheng focuses on the basics and ammunition of pistols, rifles, and shotguns, marksmanship fundamentals, and buying a firearm. Other chapters include: Dry Fire Practice Firearm Accessories Safely Storing Your Firearm Cleaning and Maintaining Your Guns And much more! Additionally, Cheng covers his approach to staying calm under pressure, teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership. These traits contributed to his coming out on top and staying above the fray. With a foreword written by Top Shot season 3 champion Dustin Ellermann and an afterword written by the original Top Shot champion Iain Harrison, Shoot to Win is sure to please shooters of all stripes, but especially fans of History Channel’s program Top Shot.

Book Description
WRITERS!!! STOP SHOOTING YOURSELVES IN THE FOOT.I have never met a writer who does not want his or her book to be considered "a page-turner." Great. Then why make foolish mistakes with firearms and hope nobody notices? There are over 150 million gun owners in the USA. They read. And when they see something on the page that they know to be wrong, they stop reading and think about it. There goes the page-turner medal of honor.Fifty-percent of writers who use guns in their novels, movies, and TV shows have never fired a gun. Far fewer have ever owned one. Yet in almost every mystery, thriller, adventure or spy story, guns are used either as evidence after a crime or as weapons during crimes, wars, espionage, etc. Wouldn't it be nice to get it right? GUN 101 shoots down many of the stupid mistakes made by writers and movie directors and offers ways to avoid these problems.Silenced Revolvers? Impossible shots? This book will help writers avoid the stupid mistakes that shoot themselves in the foot.Bestselling author, Tony Broadbent, said of GUN 101, "I'll buy a dozen copies and give them to my writer friends. They need this book."

Book Description
The increasing ubiquity of gun violence has become the norm across the world and particularly in the United States, where we have begun to hear horror after horror on a daily basis. So much so that it has started to produce a numbing effect, a helplessness that allows us to hear the news and say, "Here we go again," and put it out of our mind. Gun violence is now something we expect to happen. SHOTis about people who have been shot and survived the experience. It portrays 101 survivors, aged 8 to 80, from all races and many ethnicities. They are the representatives of "survivorhood." Most were photographed in the location where they were shot. SHOTallows us to explore a dialogue about gun violence and how we are all vulnerable.
