Paul Markel has partnered with Responder Media to offer his book, Student of the Gun in a traditional paperback. The text is now available in both digital and paper formats. “I suppose I truly became a Student of the Gun when I was about eleven years old.” related Paul author and host of Student of the Gun TV. “It was at that age my maternal grandfather introduced me to the Daisy BB gun. Although we lived in the city of Detroit, during the summer we’d take weekend trips to my grandparent’s cabin on Saginaw Bay. I’d spend nearly every waking moment with that BB gun in my hands.”
“As I grew my interest in firearms expanded and I began to read every book and magazine about guns that I could get my hands on.” Markel continued. “When I was 19 years old I scraped together enough money to travel to Aspen, Colorado and take a four-day intensive pistol course taught by legendary firearms trainer, John Farnam. Throughout the years I’ve had the privilege and honor to train with some of the greatest firearms trainers in the world. One aspect that all the great trainers have is that they never stop learning. Even after decades in the game the good ones continue to be dedicated students.”
A Student of the Gun is not necessarily a beginner or a novice. Being a Student of the Gun represents a life’s journey toward education, experience, and enjoyment of the use of firearms. You are a beginner once. You should continue to be a student for life. This book has something to offer both the new and experienced shooter.
