The Early Jeff Cooper Collection

Paladin Press is honored to bring back this series of four shooting books written by Jeff Cooper in the 1950s and 1960s. They are important because they represent a wide body of knowledge that few shooters today possess and they showcase the remarkable breadth and depth of Cooper's knowledge of guns and shooting.

Each book in contains an exclusive new foreword by quick-draw expert Thell Reed, a young student of Cooper in the late 1950s, who offers a glimpse of what shooting was like at the time and of the influence of Cooper on him and subsequent generations of shooters.
